Only last week I stumbled upon Byron Katie and The Work

How on Earth did I not know about Byron Katie and The Work? Apparently now is the time. The video posted below was my very first introduction to Katie. WOW. I have yet to read the books or actually do The Work but I have watched hours of video on YouTube as preparation.

Ah ha. The Great Mystery has revealed a possible way Spirit connected me to The Work of Byron Katie. Her husband is Stephen Mitchell. I have a number of his translations, one of which is the Bhagavad Gita on cassette read by him. It has been sitting on my shelf for years. I purchased it in the early 2000's when it was first released. Two weeks ago I listened to it while ironing and doing other housework. A week later I stumbled upon Katie while browsing videos on You Tube. Interesting.

I have not read her books yet. Rather, I've watched and listened to enough videos to notice my ego has softened to the idea of using the worksheets. I found them here:

We'll see if this dastardly ego will melt a little or a lot more and make room for the welcomed freedom, clarity and peace.
