Byron Katie & 15 Stories to awaken you 

Byron Katie publishes a new book called, Who Would you Be Without Your Story?  The book encourages every human being to take a second look at their assumptions to uncover hidden truths underneath. Learn how every person you meet teaches you profound lessons about yourself.  Consider the synopsis of her shared stories that invite you to awaken your senses;

1. Joe Is Irresponsible
An irate employee discovers that his anger with a co-worker is nothing more than a story he has told himself.

2. Sleep Disorder
A desperate woman learns that her panic-stricken world has nothing to do with reality.

3. My Mother Wouldn’t Approve
A young woman wants to become a musician, but worries about her mother's approval.

4. I Can’t Stand It That George Fell in Love with Linda
A woman realizes that she doesn't have to live with jealousy: it comes from her reaction to her husband's affair, not from the affair itself.

5. The Rent Increase
The way to accomplish change is to know that your enemy is your friend, even when the government raises your rent.

6. Welcome to Al-Anon!
A mother discovers that her obsession with her son's wellbeing is her own addiction.

7. Frank Bosses Me Around
How to deal with an apparently pushy co-worker.

8. My Mother Manipulates Me
A worried son spends his time thinking about his mother, and learns that he doesn't need her to be happy.

9. Cancer Ruined My Life
A woman realizes that her mental scars are the only terrifying thing about the cancer she's recovered from.

10. My Sister the Prostitute
A sister discovers that her worry is driven not by reality but by her stressful thoughts.

11. My Mother Made Me a Victim
A son blames his mother for his own failings and in questioning himself, discovers a love that he never knew.

12. My Husband Shouldn’t Have Left Me
A wife realizes that it was she who left her husband.

13. I’m Not Enough—and Some People Are Better Than Others
A man finally comes to terms with himself.

14. My Father Abused Me
A son finds the healing truth behind his emotional scars.

15. Scared and Angry at God
A woman finds peace in the thought of dying

Hi dear Liara,

Yes, every time we blame we not only dissapate our power, but we miss life-giving opportunities to grow, to become more alive and more aware. It is exceedingly thrilling to take full responsibility for our existence. The world is and will always be, so how are we going to choose to respond to it? Our greatest growth is usually in the things that upset us the most. In fact, I call them "portals" because (made use of) they can literally lead us into other worlds and dimensions. Our lives can be unimaginably transformed beyond our wildest dreams. Life is perfect. We need only algin ourselves with that perfection.

It really is all in our thoughts, isn't it? The way we view things.

We can easily be so free -- the kind of free that makes us want to hug every tree and kiss every leaf as we skip merrily down the springtime path of this gorgeous life we've been given.

Robin, your points are gratefully appreciated. Human beings do tend to overshoot the mark. Yet, it is only in misunderstanding that some beings evolve to recognize the path to deeper truth. Love is everything. It is everywhere. It is you and you are it. This is a ground-breaking revelation that transforms one's life.

Jannie, as you say, each being is the key to his or her own freedom. It begins and ends in the mind. Detach from ego,embrace love and you sense that love is all there is.

Hi Liara ~ I notice how I am harder on people who show the same 'faults' as myself.

Henry, as you raise self-awareness, you begin to realize that every being you encounter is a teacher, inviting you to be kinder to yourself. Each being is undergoing a deep healing process on more levels than are registered or discernable in human terms at this moment. You are opening yourself to new levels of unconditional acceptance and love. Nothing else exists. Yet, people easily forget. Selective blindness dissolves as people let go of the desire to control. The art of allowing is going with the natural flow of energy. As a person evolves to sense what this means, they realize learning occurs in stages based on the readiness of each human being.

I fell in love with Katie a few years back when her book "1000 Names for Joy" came out. I think she could walk on water if she tried. I have the book all worn out and keep it on my end table for when I fall into an old story.

In some way, I can relate to everything listed here. I'm grateful for you and Katie for bringing me the opportunity to get back in the light when I fall into the dark.

Tess, Byron Katie has a way of gently inviting readers back to the realities they sense within themselves but often prefer to deny. As you begin to ask yourself to what or whom are you listening at a given moment, you are unconsciously accelerating development in directions you have not foreseen. Your true senses are surfacing. Wisdom is knocking on the door from within your soul. Open it up.

Hello Liara,

All these stories teach that no matter what the content, it is we who have to take responsibility for our own healing, it is how we respond to the narrative.

Thanks for the info, I am looking forward to the book.

Miruh, come what may, taking responsibility for your thoughts and feelings is the fast track to self-healing. Although self-understanding and emotional release do not occur overnight, this does happen with diligence and consistent focus on love and compassion.
