Thoughts Are Not the Problem - Byron Katie

[tchiritchou]

Is it true that thaughts are not the problem? Work on it then...

[DoomedToLiveAndDie]

There is only an end to your problems, when there are no more thoughts in your consciousness, when your mind is totally absent. Byron Katie is one of the many teachers on earth, who has understood verry little about spirituality.

ive never thought of it that way wow thanks

So true, so so true.

If I can't be sure a certain thought about reality is true, then by definition I can't be sure the converse of that thought is true, which means the only thing I can be sure of is that I have a thought. But for Katie, the thought itself IS reality - the external world does not exist independent of thought which means that she may only be a projection of your mind and she doesn't really exist. If by her own philosophy we can't be sure she exists, why should we take what she says seriously?

Wouldn't that belief itself be a thought?

[BlackflowerOmega]

I hope my friend Gavan can find the truth of the real,

Byron Katie is one of the Gandhi's of our time ,

thank you xx

Thoughts and believing are the same thing aren't they? You are thought, therefore the one who is believing or not believing is just an expression of the thought structure. It sounds like more new age double speak.

Thanks for sharing.

Various thoughts just happen, right? It's what the mind does.

But as an enlightened person, you have the freedom to not take it seriously, the freedom to let it go, and the freedom to not believe it.

BK says, "Thoughts are not the problem. It's when you believe them that they become an issue."

[talkinghead22]

This is true because life has no inherent meaning or objective meaning. WE create meaning.
