peace and enter into emotions like sadness or anger.\u003cbr\u003e When beliefs do not attract, the mind remains quiet and open to all that comes.\u003cbr\u003e For example, if there were no need for attention from others, who would you be when you're around people? You'd be love itself. \u003cbr\u003eWhen you believe the myth that people should care about you, you become so starved for affection that you can't care about people or yourself.\u003cbr\u003e The experience of love cannot come from another person.\u003cbr\u003e It can only come from within yourself.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The fundamental thought that causes stress is the idea of ​​one 'me'.\u003cbr\u003e Before that thought, there was peace.\u003cbr\u003e Thoughts are born from 'nothingness' and immediately return to where they came from.\u003cbr\u003e If you look before, between, and after thoughts, you will see that there is only boundless empty space.\u003cbr\u003e It is a space of 'not knowing'.\u003cbr\u003e That is our true self.\u003cbr\u003e It is the source of everything, and in it everything is.\u003cbr\u003e Life and death, beginning, middle and end… … .\u003cbr\u003e --- p.88~88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e After ten years of deep depression and despair, my real life began at the age of forty-three. \u003cbr\u003eThat's when I realized that the reason I was suffering wasn't because I couldn't control it.\u003cbr\u003e Pain was the result of struggling with reality.\u003cbr\u003e I realized that when I believe in my thoughts, I suffer, and when I don't believe in my thoughts, I don't suffer.\u003cbr\u003e This is true for everyone.\u003cbr\u003e Freedom is that simple.\u003cbr\u003e I have come to realize that suffering is a choice.\u003cbr\u003e I found joy within myself, and that joy has never gone away for a moment.\u003cbr\u003e That joy is always within everyone.\u003cbr\u003e When you ask questions of your heart with a love for truth, your life will always become happier and kinder.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When you don't believe in thoughts, you are free from the fundamental desire that reality should be different from what it is.\u003cbr\u003e You realize what you cannot express in words, what you cannot think. \u003cbr\u003eUnderstand that all 'secrets' are of your own making.\u003cbr\u003e There are no secrets, actually.\u003cbr\u003e Everything is bright and clear as day.\u003cbr\u003e And it's simple.\u003cbr\u003e Because in fact, there is nothing.\u003cbr\u003e There is only the story that appears now.\u003cbr\u003e Actually, there isn't even that.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.27\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When you don't believe your thoughts, what you are now is you.\u003cbr\u003e There is no separation here.\u003cbr\u003e You are everything.\u003cbr\u003e Only the unquestioned mind believes that you are one 'I' living in one body.\u003cbr\u003e What is the original oneness?

\u003cbr\u003eThe book is filled with vivid images and episodes that illustrate the life of such a free spirit, and her life testifies that her words are not just a theory, but are true.\u003cbr\u003e Steven Mitchell cites several examples of such lives in his introduction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “It is also a portrait of a woman who remains unwaveringly joyful, whether she is dancing with her baby granddaughter, or her house has been robbed and robbed of everything, or standing before a man who wants to kill her, or going on an adventure walking toward the kitchen, or hearing from a doctor that she will go blind, or . . . being diagnosed with cancer.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eA peaceful mind free from stress,\u003cbr\u003e A free life, unconstrained by any thoughts,\u003cbr\u003e It's possible for anyone\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBut if such a life were only for Byron Katie or a very small number of people, if it were only possible for a special few who are different from the ordinary majority of us, then such words and writing would be of little value and use.\u003cbr\u003e But for Byron Katie, who sees no separation in the universe, she is soon one of us.\u003cbr\u003e And, even though we may not know it, it is the freedom we are already seeking, and she has found the way, so we can find it too.\u003cbr\u003e And, invariably, “How?” shows us the way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “I know pain, I know joy, I know who I am.\u003cbr\u003e I am soon yours.\u003cbr\u003e Even if you don't realize it yet... \u003cbr\u003eWhen there is no story, there is no past, no future, nothing to worry about, nothing to do, nowhere to go, no one to be, and everything is fine.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Unlike previous works such as The Four Questions, which focused on helping people discover their own truths and become free through 'work', this book shows Byron Katie's own way of seeing the world and living her daily life.\u003cbr\u003e And she expresses the ultimate truth and the freedom of life with a uniqueness, delicacy, and clarity rarely seen anywhere else.\u003cbr\u003e Therefore, this is a precious and excellent work of spiritual literature that will be most welcomed by readers who want to know more about Byron Katie and those interested in the Tao. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 18, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 419 pages | 592g | 150*220*21mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n \u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9788989590866\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8989590868 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43893429633066,"sku":"135287","price":27.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/f19642fcf5b72aeebc5d60ac6c23f7e5.jpg?v=1765401674","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/135287","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
