The War Is Over: Making Peace With Your Mind with Byron Katie

For more about this episode: bit.ly/2kR5ii0
I worked in the entertainment industry for 17 years, and I grew jaded to being starstruck… but this episode is a dream come true for me. I got to sit down with Byron Katie, whose work and story helped me pick myself up & transform my life.
Katie, creator of The Work, is driven by a single mission: teaching people how to end their own suffering.
Katie found herself at the bottom of a ten-year spiral when she realized that when she believed her stressful thoughts, she suffered, but that when she questioned them, she didn't suffer - and that this is true for every human being.
Now, Katie guides people through a powerful process of inquiry she calls The Work, in which anyone can find their stressful beliefs about life, other people, or themselves & radically shift them. The result is a life changed forever.
The Work is an astonishingly simple process - as you’ll hear in this episode - accessible to anyone at any age and from any background; all you need is an open mind.
Even from the darkest depths of suffering and loss, anyone can learn to trace unhappiness to its source and deal with it there - trust me.
Take these tools, open your mind, and set yourself free.
-Luke

Katie is truly a light worker.

[@0Demiyah0]

I love you Katie 2 years ago, I left an abusive relationship. I was at my absolute rockbottom, unable to get out of bed. And now through the work I've found such peace and joy. It's changed my life : )

[@shaneross64]

I loved how she said everyone standing in front of me is my teacher. I've never heard of Katie and I'm so grateful you shared her wisdom. I'm definitely going to study her work.

[@sayusayme7729]

She’s an angel, truly is the person who was able to unlock my mind ♥️🙏🏻🦋

[@shantimarty4901]

Yes „my business, your business, gods business“ one of the most life saving mantras 🙏. So far it’s the only one I use regularly 🌸🙏

[@mindsigh4]

thank you, & here's one i like " the mind is a master . . .at not being cured of itself."

[@franciscalove2778]

She is so full of love and so sweet. I love her!

[@kathleenbusching5491]

Love her. Beautiful Luke. You are so honest . That is true spirituality, In my opinion.

[@patriciaburell2771]

Also, Katie says, “Not questioning your thoughts makes you miserable, but only to your deathbed. “

[@melissa7777]

Its childish because its a childhood soul part who was traumatised, its literally your mind as a child! The works shows you the unresolved problems we have in our subconscious from childhood, and gives you ways to resolve them. Why its so awesome!

[@peggyprose]

I've never heard of you before this, Luke! 😊 This was a great interview.

[@SRS4859]

Luke Story, I want to thank you for doing one of the very best interviews ever with your guest, Byron Katie. You and she flowed with ease, and it allowed a wealth of wisdom to pour forth. I hope you will be making Byron Katie one of your regular guests. Great interview. I am subscribing to your channel.

[@valentinaavilad.150]

I cannot describe how beautiful this interview is. Thank you so much, not only for your questions but also for your opened heart.

[@Jsbtillinfinity]

This was amazing. Powerful perception shifter. Wish i could talk to her daily!

[@michellen3798]

Thank you, Luke. What a fabulous interview! I just found your channel and this was the first interview of yours that I have ever seen. You have a wonderful presence, you're a good listener, and you connected so beautifully with Byron Katie. She is a gift on the planet and has helped me immensely over the last several years....

[@esthershanti7563]

I love her so much, everytime I listen there’s more gems even though I’ve listened to numerous numerous hours of her and her work. So thankful for these videos that help my mind pacify it’s creation of sufferings

[@dr.tadros9772]

Such a precious soul♥🌷

[@mclp-wc8eg]

Tks Luke for this video, amazing people will come for you and your media job, I know that, I am so thankful for this, Greetings from Ecuador!!!

[@blackchina6142]

Luke, I loved this interview. I loved the way you reinterpreted your thoughts, after questioning your beliefs. The respect and the freedom yourself owe to others, rather that the belief that they owe you. I will use that myself, any time I will find myself holding others accountable for my misery. I will remember what you said, wise man. Keep doing what you do. Change yourself first in order to help others change, and one day, we might be able all around the world to life a happy and fulfilled life. I so love you. One person at the time. I stayed with myself , today.

[@brianlichtblau8870]

Best Katie video. I have listened to many many of her interviews and you totally connected and so did I. Thank you

[@catbelue6918]

Byron Katie is so lovely! 🙏💜 I've also really loved watching a lot of Sri Avinash Do lately for my spiritual journey. #SriAvinash 💗 It feels as though my life has changed in such a beautiful way just from seeing Sri Avinash's teachings.

[@paulaplaster934]

[@SamLed1111]

Another fantastic episode!

[@uranus411]

How wonderful

[@soulbeing4156]

so helpful for my current situation😅 thank you both❤

[@blackchina6142]

And for you Katie, I wish I was the richest woman to afford to take you around the world and help people to realize how miserable we live when we believe our thoughts. You’re by far the most amazing woman I’ve ever known, beside me lol . When I was young, I had the most terrifying family. They’re all dead now, but I remember I use to think like you. But then, I grow up , met the world and became “one of them”. Your work just helps me to reconnect with who I was ME. I live now a happy life again with your help. Thank you Katie for being this extraordinary woman. Much respect and love. Mihaela ❤️

[@holystrawberry]

wow, profound, thank you ! very very helpful :)

[@dominicfagan2607]

This self inquiry thing, when a thought that triggers pain arises in me, im starting to catch it and observe the pain isnt in the object of the thought (like the painful thing the thought is about), the pain is in me and this observation seems to let the pain be released from the thought. Anthony de Mello points to this a lot too

[@katehiggins9940]

yes! what i remind myself a lot is “the thought does not contain experience “

[@starcreature5131]

Luke you are a beautiful soul🙂

[@jlm517rocks]

Wow...so helpful and kind.

[@Creativehealing444]

Love Love Love 💕

[@feelinggoodrix]

Everything supporting us to be the light we are, is legitimate! Even if it does alter the truth of a relationship. Still, the unspoken, unsigned reality in between two parties is desirable to work! Is that future music? Maybe it is! Till then we may have to forgive everything to stay happy within ourselves.

[@Melanie-or3ch]

“Nickers” lol awesome great interview ☀️

[@bognalinder3444]

I should have listened further ! Yes! YOU OWE THEM....for your growth experience.

[@bernadettebecher5668]

Luke, you are very likeable- great interview.

[@naturallaw52]

The cockroach always indicates some deep thing too thank God you get it.

[@dinomiles7999]

Luke , great interaction great teaching in the moment . Thank you . The true place the real foundation from where you made the decision to help them in there business should have been from you heart a gift like buying a homeless person a sandwich. We all have work to do on the clarity and awareness of the trueness of true help of a true gift to all and any other SOUL in this time space reality we share . No judgment . Love you brother . CARMINE the LOVER OF ALL LIFE. Eyes and mind wide open NO FEAR.

[@lovestarlightgiver2402]

"Should have been", the best gifts are the ones we freely give to others without an expectation, only to be helpful, but he was where he was at the moment, with the awareness and knowledge he had at the time, until now when he questioned it more deeply. "Should" makes it sound like it could have been another way.

[@dinomiles7999]

Really , how did you change after listening?

[@JenniferHarvey5]

Why do I want to punish others when they are innocent? We want to punish others because we project onto them our guilt for separating from God. We are not God, but being in the ego is pretending we are. It hurts and does not work. I loved this show! recommend A Course in Miracles

[@johnjohn3849]

Hi Ms Byron's concept is true *ONLY* after we do the Beginning Of The Work. The beginning of the work is to really identity the root cause of our reactive behaviors. Its also call Triggers. We are all filled with, emotions, good and bad. Thus when one reacts to an accusation he or she will only be responding to what he is accustom to acting out from. So, what's the Beginnings Of The Work? Its firstly going back into our pass, our childhood. Our environment, culture, background, education shape who we are in this moment. If you have a reactive or an unreactive personality, if your triggered, allow yourself to ask What in childhood made me see things in this way? Example: They don't love me. The work would have you redirect the statement I don't love myself. But this is why its important to do the "Beginning Of The Work." By asking When as a child I felt unloved? Why did I label this or that situation as unlovable? Who are the they who don't love me? Why I do not love myself? Sit in those questions. Now Journal or write the answers to those questions one by one. Allow the light to shine on the shadow. Be honest, truthful. Allow the little boy Allow the little girl to feel the situations all over again this time without judgment. Do that for as long or as short as you would allow reality go surface. Reality only surface when we begin to Think Reason Act Out of our adult intelligent brain. We can practice this daily for 20-30 minutes at a time and watch what begins to happen. After practicing in this way for a while Now Ms Katie's techniques is the end of the matter. I did the beginning of the work, it took me 3 years to began to see some light, improvement. Some needs less time. Others can start right up with Ms Katie. I do love The Beginning Of The Work I love even more The Work. Today I can CHOSE to make myself feel what makes me feel love, lovable, happy, peaceful, calm. We can CHOOSE. Chose to be Sad or Happy Mad or Glad. Which is the best for you, your health, your heart. No, its not justifying a bad situation to make us feel better, such as He or she don't love me. The truth of the matter may well be he or she don't love me. But which feels better for ME? The pain of ruminating " He or She don't love me , or the pleasure of saying I love me And that's my business. The beginning of the work shifts us into someone most wonderful. Thanks Luke Thanks Ms Byron Katie.

[@magnificentmask9601]

SO FUCKIN HONEST SO FUCKIN PURE..THERE WERE SOME MOMENTS AT THE END WHERE KATIE AND YOU LUKE---BTW I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF YOU BEFORE---WERE SO OPEN AND HUMBLE I CRIED CHEERS FROM NYC ROCCO!!!! Blessings

[@jc0730]

Luke is seriously cute. Kattie, as always, is remarkable.

[@reneprivatemail.3303]

Hi if you are not yourself how can you be loved ( as they love than the outer of you) but also how can you love yourself then.:) . as you are not yourself as how you really are :) and " they own you " wow its so true :)

[@daynat2349]

Spiritual & beautiful & wow

[@MariaSanchez-jq7hf]

Me encantaria poder entenderles, gracias ¡¡

[@robertc6912]

Beautiful. One of the BK Best!! Mainly because Luke's energy is really expanded and humble and authentic. I like Luke a lot...he is so frank.... and likable and doesn't seem like a poseur which I really appreciate

[@gluckso4090]

♥️

[@ClearOutSamskaras]

10:44 "I was addicted to what I was believing and thinking." 43:32 I HAVE TO raise "my consciousness" and my "self esteem" and lift my attitude and an always self belief of that I am attractive and sexy, effortlessly, naturally. And no longer a boy, but fully a Man and fully an Adult. These things are essential. You will finish off destroying your life if you don't see to them now.

[@skynet4496]

Luke your speech audio quality is bad, hers much clearer.

[@SolarDrew]

How does anyone contact her? I have a setting that I can’t seem to apply. I have children who have been ripped away and are being abused. I can’t seem to overcome their situation.

[@daynat2349]

You have been spared!!! Let someone else have a go at doing your "job", it takes a whole village to raise a child. If they are being abused or 'hurt', u see, you could be perceiving they are being hurt or abused. Possibly it's not. They are being shown love. Change your mind, change your story to say; they are being looked after, they are in a good place, the people watching them are very good nice people. They are being loved and embraced. Change the narrative and your story of it the actual reality will be different. It would reveal it to you. I don't know you, I'm sure your children will be fine. If THEY ARE NOT. ITS BECAUSE YOU DO NOT WANT THEM TO BE. Its that simple. You believe they are being hurt, so someone or "something " will have to hurt them to prove you right! Say they are happy & safe and THEY WILL BE!!!

[@JonasAnandaKristiansson]

[@guerlaingreyii2573]

I am curious…. Does Byron not believe people do horrible despicable things to other humans and animals. Help me understand

[@b761787]

Luke, I notice your questions are quite belabored. Something to work on.

[@cynthiaennis3107]

Does anyone know if Byron Katie had to come off Benzodiazepines?? Cuz...I’m really looking for hope, as there seems to be none right now! 😞

[@daynat2349]

Why does she look as if she uses medication...I'm not sure if she needs them...she says pain is in your mind

[@bognalinder3444]

"they owe me"... they actually see you as "too big " for them now and looking for "new face "they can feel superior to !

[@justbreakingballs]

I enjoyed this but it doesn't resonate with me in parts. In business the ego runs rife and deals are done. It's no good just dismissing the egoic truth in the fact you've been done bad, if you help someone or carry out duties the feeling in business is it should be returned. It's how the world works. I'd be more inclined rather to try and dismiss the natural dissapointement, anger, rejection by playing mind games saying no written contract exists to own and acknowledge the perfectly typical emotional response and see the emotions are appearing on behalf of or representing the ego I that ultimately consists of nothing tangible and is manufactured out of self referencing thought only. The defence mechanism of anger etc is appearing to defend nothing. Turning and shifting the narrative saying hey maybe they were too busy or did you hanlve a contract seems to be pandering to the ego. If you say look they didn't fancy doing it despite you promoting them, your not important enough to them, they didn't believe in you or they just could be bothered. Those are likley true, you can't ever know exactly why but they didn't fancy it. End. Emotions will arise now on behalf of the I and they will pass. Don't hold a grudge on behalf of the non existent I, just move on nothing happened to anyone. Just the egos ideas of how things should of been didn't manifest that's all that happened and if you see it as anything more than that suffering will be manufactured on behalf of the wronged egoic I.

Luke come on... dr Kruse is a genius and Byron Katie a new age cult figure... get back to the science!

[@jerrytomas3136]

All the enlightened/awakened masters say 90% the same things. Buddha, Jesus, St. Teressa, and even Byron Katie. Compare the teachings. It’s honesty remarkable how truly similar it all is Be careful to not limit yourself to what can currently be measured or known. If scientists or anyone did the same, we wouldn’t discover new things or figure anything new out Good luck on your journey
