Depression, pain, and fear are gifts that say, "Sweetheart, take a look at your thinking in this moment. You're living in a story that isn't true for you." Living a lie is always stressful. And investigating a lie through The Work always leads you back to who you are. Who you are is not an option. You are love. It hurts to believe you're other than who you are, to live any story less than love.
Byron KatieI would go out into the desert. The desert was my teacher. I didn't know about gurus and wise people-I wasn't a reader.
Byron KatieThe mind usually says, โI know, I know, I know.โ But the โdonโt-know mindโ is where wisdom lives.
