Loving What Is by Byron Katie

P 15 The Four Questions for any dilemma you may have:
1) Is it true?
2) Can you absolutely know that it’s true?
3) How do you react when you think that thought?
4) Who would you be without the thought?

P 22 Everyone is a mirror image of yourself--- Your own thinking coming back at you.

P 37 Each time he rejects you, if you still feel pain, you can realize that your Work’s not done. And he is the master. He will continue to reject you until you understand. You are responsible for not rejecting him or yourself. …it’s good that it hurts. Pain is the signal that you’re confused, that you’re in a lie…You are the solution to your problem – your apparent problem. No mother or son has ever done harm. We’re dealing with confusion here, that’s all. Through this Work we come to realize that.

P 141 “She’s meeting another man in Europe right now.” he said.
Oh. So she’s doing everything YOU wanted to do.
P 153 “You need to make decisions in life” – can you really know that that’s true?
Response: "It feels like I need to, but as you say it, I’m not sure."
It would have to feel that way, because you believe the thought and therefore you’re attached to it.

p 180 Everything happens FOR me, not TO me.

P 229 You move totally away from reality when you believe that there is a legitimate reason to suffer.
