I read a thousand names for joy by Byron Katie. I’ve always wanted to read her work but never did until now. I have to say I found it fascinating. I also did the work which besides in the book you can find the work at www.thework.com It really is amazing and very helpful. I felt like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I am not worrying about what others say or think or believe because that is there reality not mine.
“inquiry helps the suffering mind move out of it’s arguments with reality. It helps us move into alignment with constant change. After all the change is happening it seems. But, when we’re attached to our thoughts about how the change should look, being out of control feels uncomfortable. Through inquiry we enter the area we do have control: or thinking.” – Byron Katie from the Book
“When there is no choice, there is no fear. They begin to realize that nothing was ever born but a dream and nothing ever dies but a dream.” Katie Byron from the book
“Dying is just like living. It has it’s own way and you can’t control it.” Byron Katie
“We die at exactly the right time not an instant too soon or too late.” Byron Katie
“What I know is that God is everything and God is good.” Byron Katie
“It’s the truth that sets you free and the truth we’re talking about is not someone else’s truth; it’s your own. That’s the only truth that can set you free.” Byron Katie
“God is everything, God is good is not an idea it’s a reality.” Byron Katie
