When we're not defending and justifying, and we're being very still, our answers can and do shock us.
Byron KatieThe Work: 1. Is it true? 2. Can you absolutely know that itโs true? 3. How do you react, what happens, when you believe that thought? 4. Who would you be without the thought?
Byron KatieIf you are an enemy to your own mind, other people have to become enemies too, sooner or later. Until you understand, until you can love the thoughts that appear in your mind, then you can love the rest of us. You work with the projector -the mind - not the projected world. I can't really love you until I question the mind that thinks it sees you outside itself . . .
Byron KatieThere's never a mistake in the universe. So if your partner is angry, good. If there are things about him that you consider flaws, good, because these flaws are your own, you're projecting them, and you can write them down, inquire, and set yourself free. People go to India to find a guru, but you don't have to: you're living with one. Your partner will give you everything you need for your own freedom.
