Sleep just gives the ego a little time out. It has to stay strong in order to be something that it isn't.
Byron KatieRather than understand the original cause-a thought-we try to change the stressful feelings by looking outside ourselves.
Byron KatieAn uncomfortable feeling is not an enemy. It's a gift that says, "Get honest; inquire." We reach out for alcohol, or television, or credit cards, so we can focus out there and not have to look at the feeling. And that's as it should be, because in our innocence we haven't known how. So now what we can do is reach out for a paper and a pencil, write thought down, and investigate.
