"Self realization not lived doesn't mean a thing" said Byron Katie. This is what really penetrated my being as I watched her and Oprah discuss "the work" and Byron's book "Loving What Is". I remember that if you want the butterfly to land on you, you have to stop chasing it. I had become a master at chasing the butterfly. Always trying so hard, always wanting so much, always fighting with myself, feeling victimized by life.
So as I sink into this new found feeling of living now, and being fully present to what is, I become lighter and actually move through life both physically and mentally in a new way. I really believed before that if others were suffering, I had to suffer. But only by ceasing my own suffering can suffering end. What a relief.
I am very grateful to my computer tonight that I was able to watch such an engaging dialogue for free. I don't really need to say any more at this moment. Just peace.
