The Solution to the Problem is You

The Work of Byron Katie

Roger Nairn of "The Solution Podcast" interviews Byron Katie. He begins by asking, "What was it that you saw in the world that needed a solution?" "My life was filled with depression, and I didn't have an answer," Katie says. "Then there was a moment when the answer just came to me. Even though I knew that depression was the problem, I didn't understand that what I was thinking and believing was the cause. I had to work in slow motion to identify each belief that was causing a disturbance in my mind and then question that belief. That was my solution to the problem." Katie then takes Roger through the four questions and turnarounds of The Work on the belief "He betrayed me" and clarifies how The Work as meditation moves us beyond the ego and into wisdom. "What sort of results should people who do The Work hope to achieve?" Roger asks. "The answer to all their problems," says Katie. "When our mind is clear, wisdom has room to live. When I'm believing things onto the world, where is there room for wisdom?" Byron Katie Mitchell (everyone calls her Katie) discovered the gift of The Work in 1986. She has been traveling around the world since 1992, offering The Work to millions of people at free public events, in prisons, hospitals, churches, corporations, battered women's facilities, universities and schools, at weekend intensives, the nine-day School for The Work, and her 28-day Turnaround House. She is the author of Loving What Is, I Need Your Love-Is That True?, A Thousand Names for Joy, and A Mind at Home with Itself. We are all innocent. The only thing we are guilty of is believing our unquestioned thoughts. —Byron Katie Website: http://www.thework.com Webcasts: http://www.livewithbyronkatie.com Subscribe: http://www.youtube.com/theworkofbk Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/theworkofbyronkatie Twitter: https://twitter.com/ByronKatie © 2017 Byron Katie International.
