I was mesmerized. I didn't want it to end. He was so real & could find humor in the process that was also profound. It was like the joy you get when with an innocent child learning about the amazing world. Fell in love with both of them. ♥️

[@judithpfeiffer9154]

Thank you so much for posting these old sessions, Brian! I love when Katie says about her family: "I let them have their suffering and we have a great relationship (it appears to me). They can live, they can die, I love them, that's what I know. I love them enough to stay out of their business and be present." Awwww! So beautiful!

[@BrianCormackCarr]

Yes - every time I watch these sessions, I find new pearls like that. Funnily enough, I've literally just been reading the transcript of a satsang by Robert Adams in which he says something similar. Do you know of him? He died in the late 90s but his satsangs have been captured and some were printed in his book 'Silence of the Heart'. I'll be featuring him later in this series. He seems to speak from a perspective that's very similar to Katie's.

[@judithpfeiffer9154]

I haven't heard of him. Since I've found Byron Katie and the Work I'm not that interested in other people anymore

[@karenflowers9711]

This is the most loving work I have ever witnessed re: the mind. No "Teacher". A sincere love who has done her own work and will sit with others while they find their own answers. We all have it inside ourselves. This paradigm shift is just in time. Reminds me of nature, next to poison ivy is its remedy, Jewelweed

[@Annaostrowska]

Wow, I've seen a lot of BK's work, but this is one of the best! Michael also deserves a massive acknowledgement for his raw, innocent openness and great communication. How brave of him to do this deep work in public!

[@jaynemiddleton3675]

What moves me the most about this BK video is Michael's openness and humility in sitting in the questions with Katie's guidance. I fell in love over and over again

[@SkysMomma]

He is so genuine. Genuine about when he’s open to considering new ideas and genuine about when they are not making sense to him. That is awesome. It’s so wonderful when we decide to be our real selves.

[@ajits64]

This might be the best one i've ever seen. Just beautifully done by both of them. Michael's newness and openness to The Work is absolutely priceless.

[@mirrorimage9224]

She could be talking to me about this subject. I needed this reminder! 49:40-50:00, " *You're not God. I know. Play God; Feel The Pain. Ok. Thank you. I need to stop doing this. It's called addiction . . . You're addicted to playing God. . .* " Thank you, Brian Cormack Carr, for uploading.

[@mariepichler2758]

This for me is the best episode of Katie Byron ever!!! Michael is so so so adorable ❤

[@SamoKoprivec1]

Byron at 53:37 "My sons, I have two of them, ..." the man: "Can you adopt me?" Byron: "I already have."

[@sheilakirwan9462]

so sweet !

[@DanaGoldbergMD]

Why are there so many babies in the Byron Katie videos?! Who brings a toddler to an emotional workshop? So perplexing to me. Kudos to Katie for tuning out the distractions.

[@mariewintzer2245]

Thank you so much! I've listened to and seen a lot of Byron Katie inquiries over the years and I never thought I would come across another one that would make me cry and laugh so much. So much pain here, so much love, so much connection. I can't thank you enough.

[@Alexander-rq9he]

My goodness..this man is so sweet every time he says “thank you”!

[@freefallingintograce4634]

Thank you , Brian! Love re-watching these oldies. Katie is so raw, fierce, and unapologetic! Ruthless mercy and grace! Bless her and you for sharing 🙏💖

[@jeanniecampbell1374]

This is amazing and difficult ...as it should be ,we are so brainwashed from our culture and upbringing .

[@Chaz_NFQ]

This man is great. He has so much pent up stuff, and he goes for it with the turnarounds. Darling

[@2alexandervideo]

There is excellent training and education and then there is another level of excellence in the process of healing and transformation…….Michael and Byron reach this level in this recording……beyond “words”……it’s the “work”

[@melissaclair1508]

. I love seeing her older sessions, thank you for sharing

[@Misslotusification]

The TA comes immediately @ 4:09: she shouldn't worry about us and take care of herself right now. I've come to notice how BK's right when she says that whatever we tell others to do is for us to do.

Thank you for posting this. Through Michaels purity and release of painful thoughts you witness his release from a mental and emotional prison. I can the see the path to the release from my own prison.

[@palianshow]

these are so precious! knowing BK work for over a decade now, i appreciate seeing the beginnings of the "Judge-Your-Neighbor-Worksheet". She was so different, yet so loving and present! i wonder where are those ppl now, who worked with her back then. How did the practice supported their lives? in this particular one, there was so much deep deep eye gazing. powerful stuff!

I think Katie was quite sick at this point almost blind and listen to the wisdom, yes, of course she got so much better

[@BrianCormackCarr]

jon ubick I think this was a bit before that, actually. This was filmed in 1998 and I think her blindness affected her around 2005/6 - amazing that she never really acted any differently, isn’t it? Such genuineness.

@@debramontgomery99 i remember being a young mother and missing out on a lot of things. Sitting in the hall.... This seems old film and back in the days it was very normal to take your kids everywere with you. It doesn t seem to hinder anyone on the film?
