Byron Katie Quotes

Enlightened?

When you are a lover of what is, it’s obvious that the world is your own face in the mirror.
But how do you become a lover of what is?
The “how” has been a mystery till now.
Now it’s clear that all you need to do is investigate your stressful thoughts.
The four questions and turnaround of The Work will take you as deep as you want to go.
People think that they need to get “enlightened” in order to be free,
and nobody knows what enlightenment is.
Yes, it’s in the sacred texts, and yes, this guru or that lama says he has attained it,
but that’s just a concept; it’s the story of a past.
There is only enlightenment in the moment.
Do you believe a stressful thought?
Then you are confused.
Do you realize that the thought isn’t true?
Then you are enlightened to it.
It is as simple as that.
