Such an experience for all of us watching/being with you on this amazing deep journey! I have no words to express my gratitude for sharing your deepest truths with us. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to learn from the Masters! In Truth and Love, Loveritas

[@kymbelt]

Simply awestruck... The timing is ideal, perfectly synchronistic for me to have seen, heard, and fully understood this message- this 'Work' - I have no words to describe how much I feel that I needed to be here now, to receive this gift of wisdom and guidance- so simple yet so profound!! With much love, respect, and gratitude; I just want to somehow convey, to the both of you, my appreciation for sharing this interview with me and with humanity!! This has been, without a doubt, the most significant, useful, informative, and profoundly relevant interview that I've ever seen or heard in my entire life and just WOW... a much-needed fresh perspective!! Thank you for all that you do!! Honesty feel that everything you've said here today & the personal experiences that you both have graciously shared with me: a true wake-up call for me- a life-changer, I can't thank you enough!!! 💞✌️

“I see the ego as a child, a willful child, just fighting for its survival. I just let it play and sometimes I say: that’s a good one!” ~ Byron Katie

[@ninaw.8722]

This woman is so far ahead of the traditional society. She is so wise and humble. I just love her an could listen to her all day!

[@sammy_lynn]

Listen to her enough and she'll become a voice in your head to question the illusions and I love it lol

[@mindsigh4]

yes! like when i read Tolles books now, it's his voice im hearing in my head. before i ever heard his voice,( before i had his CDs, & later on youtube) it was my voice i heard when i was reading his book, i gave a copy of New Earth to a friend in crisis, & she was so grateful, she gave me a CD player & some Tolle CDs, i was afraid at first to listen, what if i didn't like his voice? i loved his books so much, i didn't want anything to ruin that, but when i pressed play & heard his voice, it was INSTANT AFFINITY, my fears were groundless.

[@jennifermacisak7503]

Yes I AGREE..her wisdom and voice..she has a soothing energy..

After training with Byron Katie 7 years ago, I did a worksheet on my dad that took me almost all day because I really got into the feels and traced it back to 3 years old. When I finished, my entire 'family album' had changed, and in healing that moment, all the rest of the moments changed. There was no trace of any unloving events--it was as if they never existed, and I realized that the mind had created something so false based on beliefs of the world. I feel it was difficult for Byron Katie to take Lewis back and really 'get it' or 'break the spell of the illusion' because they are trying to explain it, and not feel it without interruption and 'explanation' or other story questions. It's amazing to heal so completely and have an entirely new story... a story of deep love that I was not able to see before.

[@jennytaylor3324]

Incredible. And they say you can't change the past.

[@IsaRoseLie]

Wow! Your experience sounds really amazing. I am really glad for you :) even though I don't know you. I just stumbled over your comment.

[@sarmay7899]

You may never see this post , but I want to thank you for doing that work. It changed the world for all of us

[@lindybison78]

So after that moment of healing do you live in complete LOVE?

[@AngelicaChristi]

@@lindybison78 as far as each person I do the deep healing work 'with/on' yes! because I go to the core of myself. Once you do, you realize they were the teacher you 'assigned' to help you. As you know we have layers of wounds spanning many life-times, so sometimes you discover something else, but much easier to heal each time. I am grateful for every player in my movie of life that agreed to play a part for me. I am now being conscious of non-duality-- no judgment as to all judgment or belief in: right or wrong, black or white, good or bad, is creating this duality that we are seeing playing out in the world right now. It's like the dreams that were ignored and turned into a nightmare to get our attention to heal that aspect of self that feels unworthy, not good enough, unloved, shame, a victim... whatever, and acknowledge it, listen to 'it', forgive and love through that healing. This is taking longer, but necessary to step fully into 5D

Appreciate you, Kathryn!

[@RawkingPower]

woo hoo! You invited Byron Katie, that's so awesome! Thank you! "I hope this doesn't sound too crazy for your audience" LOL She is the sanest being on this planet imo. Her books are just as deep, healing and hilarious as this interview. Sometimes it seems hard to do the work but it's even harder NOT to do it! Thank you, Lewis and Katie. Much love ❤️

Finally...this woman set me free. Eat Pray Love showed me to travel for a year...wherever I wanted, and Joe Dispenza showed me to envision life as healed and positive...what more to say. More gifts no one needs...I am grateful that they give their knowledge and gave me Christmas everyday

BYRON KATIE is such a gift to us to herself to everyone what an amazing story her concept of don't believe your thoughts...is so simple yet so so so groundbreaking and profound. God is good he saves us at our lwest points and anoints us to greatness.

[@jsimp8540]

When I started reading ancient stoic texts in philosophy it opened my eyes to how there are no new thoughts. Over 2000 years ago they were worrying about the same things.

[@sarapowell8290]

Great thought leaders like Yogananda and Katie seem to have come to the same conclusion, that our lives are like movies. We are constantly in our heads watching what we think is our reality but is actually an illusion created by our perception.

OMG! Lewis, I felt your pain from a different perspective. I was the mother and my son you were playing his part in the pain. I possibly gave him while raising three sons, doing things to just survive, handling a career, a home, and everything else that went into all that. I’m healing. Thank you Bryon Katie and Lewis Holmes for this program of healing. I so needed it. I so hope my son see it when he’s ready! 🙏💜😘

[@seanmiller9567]

Byron Katie is the real deal. Fully enlightened. Awake. Not like most 'spiritual teachers'. If anyone has read Jed Mckennas work, you know. I want to awake within the dream. Katie is far past that that point, but why not have a good dream! Louis, I loved my experience of you here. Everyone hero out there doing the work in the comments. I admire and love you.

This is such a touching interview… I actually teared up at the end as you were saying your “goodbyes”! I love her so much. The name “The work” is no joke! It’s shocking how much effort it takes to hold on to a story, and I felt drained as all my blame and excuses didn’t hold validity anymore… the work initially felt exhausting. I encourage everyone to stick with it, because the freedom that becomes present is life altering and brings so much peace! Still feeling it years later and have a reference point to work thru anything. ❤🙏

[@joshuacleberg1603]

I love this interview! Just like all of your interviews! Lewis... a note on the story of the monks... the lady didn't complain; the issue was that monks were not supposed to touch women. So a couple hours after the head monk had placed the woman on the other side, the novice monk ask the elder monk about him picking up the woman. That's when the Elder Monk said that he had placed her down and that the novice monk was still carrying her. Love you, Lewis. Also, love your team and everything that you all do! Thank you for everything!
