I Am a Lover of What Is Because It Hurts When I Argue With Reality

About this episode

Lisa O'Neill discusses Byron Katie's four questions for self-inquiry and the importance of accepting reality.

This week when I opened my planner to page 146, I found Byron Katie's quote staring back at me: I am a lover of what is, not because I'm a spiritual person, because it hurts when I argue with reality. I've been using her four questions for about 20 years and I'm still not done with them. They're that good. The four questions are simple. Is it true? Can you absolutely know it's true? How do you react when you believe it's true? And who would you be without the thought? I walk you through all of them this week.
