Byron Katie in Israel 2007 - The Arab/Jew conflict

[1111che]

Heaven and hell - above, the voice of love and reason, Byron Katie - below, comments that show we have a long way to go before we can sit with her, until then, we will continue to have war.

[Sejaynus]

A true voice in the wilderness. I love this video.

[bettybomb88]

she is an actor. fraud!!

[Drontenpeel]

Here you see an inspiring person, wishing the best for the world, and giving a solution: turn to the light in stead of to the dark. And see what happens: people start barfing out their filthy little prejudices about themselves and "The Other". Weew, scary man. And she doesn't say anything new either! For about two thousand years 3 world religions that form the basis of modern civilizations claim the words of a man in his 30's that said exactly the same thing.

[NewNow4u]

Yes, Thanks Katie. So true, how can we expect another to change, when if we were self honest, we would see that we are the same in our thoughts. I love how simple you have put this teaching/understanding into the 4 questions.

[alqadeeb]

Have you not notice that she never does change her green dress!!!!!

[akeez47]

evil zionist bitch look at her she's the devil's wife. she and the others have the lying habit. she is trying to say that let them do what they want and just watch the fucking zionists jews kill muslims fuck you if you support israel and hate muslims.

[nomorepushingusdown]

Ooooh! Stop it, you're scaring me!

I support Israel and I hope someday we'll meet.

Let's see, give me a year or two and maybe someone somewhere will think of even one meaningful thing that Arabs have contributed to the world....mmmmm

Signed - Your Worst Zionist Nightmare

[akeez47]

you don't make sense and what have you contributed? you don't speak for arabs or matter of fact muslims! so why don't you go and fuck off to israel and suck ariel sharon's fat dick. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[nomorepushingusdown]

Interesting that you know the size of Ariel Sharon's dick...

I never assumed to speak for Arabs...I was responding to your intelligent remarks with my own opinions. I don't presume to speak for anyone but myself. I simply wait for you to speak for yourself, or whomever you think you speak for.

Reading this should give you even more time to try to list even one contribution to the world by Arabs....keep thinking...I can think of ONE, but it's funny you can't!

[cwcwful]

recently nothing. thousands of years a go many.

[LoveandMetta]

Heal yourself, and the world will heal. That's the message. It's the truth. Ask yourself the questions and stop being so afraid, angry and immature. You solve nothing except to continue to propogate the war in your heart. We are all responsible. It we want peace we have to have peace within. Or do you just want to hate? I pray that is not true and that you have a change of heart. Blessings to you all.

[oppozed1]

You primitive inbreeding muzz are heading to be genocided. The only thing that stands between you and being erased form the face of the Earth is the humanitarian and pc culture of the West.

That can change very quickly indeed and when it does you and your primitive no technology cult will get what you are just begging for. OBLIVION.

[marillevanille]

Why is it - despite her sweet and true words - that this woman feels to me like a total fraud....???

[TomJack25]

Well, that's easy: turn it around...;-)

[marillevanille]

ohhhh, right...because she just IS... :-)

[MasterZug]

If you have ever met this woman in person, as I have, you would feel differently. She is one of the sweetest, most loving people I have ever met.

[1svetik]

Wow! I just remebered the song from Israel in Eurovision song contest 2009. It's just the same mesage of peace. I wonder if Katie was an inspiration for this song? The song is in Arabic and Jewish language and performed amazingly. Just search for "Eurovision 2009 Israel "(for some reason I can't put the direct link here)

[MitzvaMobile]

Smart woman

[mysteriousmartian]

"I don't see Israel as a land of conflict between Arabs and Jews". LOL Yeah right. No conflict at all !!

[polymorphously]

"...between Arabs and Jews" was the key phrase. She sees lots of conflict, but it's not about Arabs and Jews, it's about unquestioned beliefs.

[canada2love]

I feel Her philosophy needs no nations upon which I'd agree, however to nationalists this must appear not much better than terrorism ;)

[argonald]

this is a lost cause,neighboors will ALWAYS fight each other,here in Chile(a small country at south america) they hate all their neighboors,argentina,peru,boli­via,all they hate each other even when in independence process(ya quite long ago) they all fight together for each others independence

[run4you1]

It would be much more interesting to hear what you thought you got out of this video than what you did not get. ? A little borded by people these days that only see what is negative . So easy to see what it wrong. I think the point is we need more people on this planet that can imagine a better way. You are either part of the solution or problem. Love to hear what you think can be done?

[argonald]

i dont think that is negative,its just part of us,we,the males mainly want to compete with each other from our very instincts,when some guys have their little fight for a soccer game it's fine but when this differences lead to war,we have a problem,they way to resolve this,in my opinion,is to have better diplomats and governors,to let diplomacy reign over violence

[aaronthemountainman]

rawr!

This vid made me sOOoOoOo wet LOL Wa

[avons7]

Well, look...I "Get it". But for me, I'm not looking to find a way to rid my life of all pain, anger, and all these "negative" things. Hate is just as important as love. You can only run away from facts for so long! The world is BOTH beautiful and fucked up! Please have the courage to see and accept that lest you become another drone! and VOTE OBAMA!! mclame IS EVIL. it's FACT!

[kitai03]

@avons7

The most important work material is for free in the internet. Everybody can download everything that is necessary to do The Work. To me she is not a person that has to be worshipped (and she doesn't ask for it) - neither were Jesus, Moahammed, Buddha etc. They were and are channels for the truth, no more, no less.

What a job.................

[avons7]

Well, look...I "Get it". But for me, I'm not looking to find a way to rid my life of all pain, anger, and all these "negative" things. Hate is just as important as love.

[kitai03]

@avons7

And: everybody who dies dies just on time, old or young. Again: who are you to know better??? Can you change or influence reality? Can you feel the "arrogance" behind your argueing? Arrogance from believing your thoughts....

And I never said BK is Jesus or Mohammed...her teachings are simply the same, if you browse through the Bible or the Koran you will find the similarities. And she charges - yes; but she has the right to do it. The Work should be spread.

[kitai03]

@avons7

Especially in minds of socalled victims. Exactly there where the war begins, where violence and anger beginsViolent people are people who believe their toughts. Children who got raped when they were little have two choices: either they replay this movie for the rests of their lives or they learn to dissolve these thoughts, e. g. through The Work.

[kitai03]

@avons7

And who are you to know that the world is not perfect? In who's business are you in when you believe that thought? Are you God? Do you know better?

And: Do you have a choice? A votum? You can only deal with your own stressful thoughts, that is where peace starts. In your mind... The Work creates peace in people's minds.

[Roc900]

DanielR305 and Et al.

People can say what they want about Saddam, Iraq is in much worse shape then when he was in Power, he was killed because He would not Trade his oil for thr dollar Bill,PERIOD!!!The United States Govt. is the real terrorists, They(US Govt.)want to control everything and everybody!!! Sad World We Live In!!! Man was not Create To Be Controlled By Man!!

[DanielR305]

cont we ask ourselves why? the food isn't getting though why? because of corruption in Iraq medical supplies are not getting though people haven't got basic living supplies whre majority had water and a bit of before the invasion wy haven't western nations made sre supplies getting though in a orderly fashion why are endless of people still dying more than ever now. I am pleased some medical supplies getting though wheres the rest of it then? Or have our nations got side tracked something.

[DanielR305]

Look at the situation in Iraq, western nations arrested an evil dictator who caused awful evil acts on his own people. the question is We knew what was going with Saddam's regime for many yrs from very L8 70s Why didn't we act? why none dared or bothered to help because world leaders didn't want to lose our powerful nations. None intercepted Saddam till last min why because they found deep oil wells for our western countries the oil for food program isn't working

[DanielR305]

I agree with Kate's theory in part my question is is she influenced by the western world leaders or the Palestinian or Jewish theory I dn't think Katie can't undersnd how these 2 nations see how thy wnt to pt a peaceful ed to this awful conflict I simply jst wnt peace 4 both nations that what we all should want I just ether side is moving on ths conflict. We shouldn't be involved as a public western nation in ths conflict I think western nations r really interested in making money out of nation.

[avons7]

Believe nothing...test everything!

Google search Byron katie is Evil!

[kitai03]

Byron Katie does as much for humankind as Jesus, Buddah, Mohammad etc. did...and so much more......if yo`re open for it or not.

[avons7]

The thing I don't agree with Byron Katie is that her philosophy is TOO simple. She's very into the minds ability and personal choice we all have to take APPROPRIATE anger and turn it around into "love" where it is not appropriate to be. The Jews in Nazi Germany did NOT "die on time". Children aren't "raped on time". The world ISN'T perfect! The work is a good tool...but katie is no Jesus or Mohammed! They never charged like she does!

[kitai03]

@avons7

BK doesn't have a "philosophy". And all truths are simple. That does not mean they are easy to deal with. The Jews in Germany died - no matter what you think about it, no matter what the "stories" made up by your thoughts tell you. Children get raped - no matter what you think about it. The thoughts about things that happen are painful to us who read or hear about it. To argue with realitiy is painful.

[twilightlove]

Is it true? They didn't die on time? What's the reality of it? They died. That's it. It's might not match your wishes or how long you think people should live. But that's reality. Cause and consequence is the rule of the universe.

[run4you1]

sounds to me like you too have not tried the work...believe me there is nothing simple about this. It looks that way but I urge anyone to sit down and do this. watching and doing are entirely different experiences

[foosmoo]

the work is what living is all about all we have is our heart and instincts

[dearestofall]

I found you a month ago Katie. I've watched hours and hours of you on video demonstrating/conducting inquiry. It is so beautiful. Not only are the questions alive in me now, but you are too in a way. Still, when I need some help out of some hell realm of anger, unfulfilled desire, or fear, this is the video I go to if there is resistance in asking myself these questions and turnaround. All thanks, praises, respect, and neverending gratitude to you.

[TadRapidly]

Yoell-Just concentrate on yourself. Don't worry that others are un-reachable. Look to the tendency to be un-reachable (in varying degrees) in yourself. if the U.S wants to make amends to the taliban, we could try apologizing for interfering in the mideast. now THAT is doing things differently and would help to quell violence.

[taliaziz]

I like the sincerity and expression in this. yes, the real war is not between Arabs and Jews. yet the US wants to colonize the east where the oil and other goodies are: what is their business there without terrorists? If there is peace between Arabs and Jews, USA has no reason to be in the east at all. The 1st Bush was friendly with Bin Laden and in photos with him. The Greater Problem is not the people of the East. It is a matter of politics and greed, something simpler people can not control.

[davidbenshanti]

You are missing the point. Only your personal thoughts are important. Do you USA is true ? Can YOU know this ? Peace starts wit you my friend.

[6available9]

you clever... thoughts are things and what we think we become,, when we are dishonest we seperate and criticise,,,we become that which we resist... then we point our fingers at the (beings) who mirror our denial and point the finger at them reducing our ownership .. personal responsibility is the only way to save civilisation

[6available9]

and create a peaceful one

[livenlovesea]

Thanks Katie,

People think thoughts and believe the thoughts they think. They live inside their thinking like it is true. This is the source of all war. When we end the war within ourselves we end war in the world. A peaceful inner self will look like a peaceful outer world.

[blackflower75]

I have nothing left to lose by doing "The Work" , I hope it helps my situation, I'm going to buy Katies book off Amazon next week.....

[yoell1]

Dear Byron Katie

I watched all your clips that are on u tube maybe a 100 times each and I fiend it fascinating.

But there are a lot of questions that not have been asked.

So here is one of them.

Do u think u can do the "work" with Ahmadinagad ? Or Al kaida or the Taliban?

I believe the thought that this people will never aver change there thoughts about the way the world should be

[thereisnofire]

Hi Yoell1,

"These people will never change their thoughts" is a great belief to inquire into and I can think of a few people I believe this about - I'm going to 'Work' this one myself.

With love and thanks,

Jon
