Peace doesn't require two people; it requires only one. It has to be you. The problem begins and ends there.
Byron KatieIf I say, if I talk about, 'I want to be enlightened...' it implies a future. And there isn't any.
Byron KatieWhen you're comfortable and secure, it's not enough. The mind doesn't stop there because it has to continue to focus itself as this body, so it moves to pleasure. And pleasure really is a non-existent thing. When we're experiencing pleasure, we're trying to hold onto it as it leaves, so it really isn't pleasure. Pleasure is pain because we're grasping.
