The work is not about stopping physical pain. It is about questioning the thought that reality should be any different than it is. What I find doing the work is that even when I cannot/could not breathe, due to asthma, I had enough air. Always. It was my fear about not having enough air that caused the problem, not the asthma.

I've become a new fan of The Work and even suggested it to my troubled sister! Katie is an amazing gift to humankind...I stand in awe and gratitude!

Katie is Brilliant! She is one of the most centered and conscious people on the planet.

What she's explaining here is the theory of time being simulataneous. You're always going to be in your NOW, it's what some refer to as the "Eternal Now". We're creating our future with every word we speak. The story that we're living, is the story you keep telling yourself. Start telling a new story and watch what happens in your NOW in the Future :-)

What I don't get is that what is the point of all these teachings? Does it mean that there is nothing you can do about your future than not to stress about it cos u stressing about it is not going to change anything. Or is it teaching us that as far as we are ok now there is no need to worry about the future cos it doesn't exist yet. I am new to listening to this kind of messages so I am a little confused.

do you have to ponder the future so that you can handle your future? what would happen if you dropped the future? well you wouldn't be anxious about the next moment, it's gone.

reality is perception, everything you see and touch is yours. we are livin' in a world projected by mind.

I had a deep realization yesterday, as I was listening to Katie's audiobook, I saw my life without my anxious thoughts. Can seem pretty simple but what I saw was a life that is free.

You are always home.

Is it true? Who the fuck knows...

[rlzzxx]

Yes. Not Katie's words but, what is. She points to it.

[sivko23]

i really saw myself in your words, we all have these terrible fears, but funny thing is they never happen.... not close to what we feared, ever...

[rlzzxx]

@sivko23 Thank you. This is.

If we believe words of Katie, neither do you or i exist, we simply dont exist now, only as a particle of focus in the space of our mind , compared to universe of all existence in the infinity of universe we could dare to say that we dont exist. But in other dimension you can also say we do exist, in dimension of selective mind, good news we can always go back to safety of oneness no matter how bad the content we are focusing on the outside is.
