What question made the biggest impact on your life?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for December 16, 2008:
It’s four questions, actually. Byron Katie’s four:
1. Is it true?
2. Can you absolutely know that it’s true?
3. How do you react, what happens, when you believe that thought?
4. Who would you be without the thought?
Really, these questions have a way of getting right to the heart of conflict – inner conflict, which is where it all starts. All the coulda, woulda, and shoulda’s up in smoke. Poof!

i really liked your questions….they really make you think. is the life i’m living reality or am i believing in a scam. i think we live in a world where uncertainty is very common…people are uncertain about themselves, their goals, their beliefs, who they are…these are good questions to ask yourself, to get a good firm foundation. People get sucked into alot of things or cliques or organizations because all they see is the surface, i like what your saying we need to examine our thoughts and lives so our life won’t be filled with shaky hesitentness constently. Well said!
Hi Melissa! Thanks so much for stopping by to comment. As you say, these questions asked of ourselves help us to see what is real in a world where so much is sham. You put it well.
Whoa. This was amazing. I am going to print it out and post it on my wall in my spare bedroom.
I think I would also have to say these questions have made the biggest impact on my life too. Isn’t BK and The Work just amazing…. :-)
Hi Alvely, Sandra, thanks for stopping by.
I have to say that I experienced a bit of resistance to BK when I first heard about her. That’s because I had been reading Gurdjieff and she was sounding a lot like him without attributing any of her ideas to him; he had even referred to what he did as The Work, like she does. Needless to say, I got over it. If it works, does it matter so much where the ideas come from?
So what is left when I question my thoughts, the stories they hold about who I am or you are; what happened to me or you or between us; why we are the way we are, individually or together; etc? Hmm, what’s left feels like not much of anything, other than a whole lot of room for change…
Great questions to ponder upon and reflect and become aware!
Mila, to become aware, yes, and to break free of the enslavement of thought, of what I always considered to be the truth about the way it was or should be. To become free to live from moment to moment, clear of thought-imposed resistance.
Thanks for stopping by!
