No One Can Hurt Me, That's My Job

Byron Katie expands on the statement "No one can hurt me; that's my job" for an audience member at the Spirit Rock Meditation Center. The man, the son of a Holocaust survivor, questions how this viewpoint could apply to victims of violent crime, war, and hate. "There are a lot of people being hurt by a lot of other people today," he says, "and this statement sounds a little privileged." "That's why I'm standing here,"Katie says. "You don't have to suffer that kind of hurt. You can get clear. And if you can get clear, someone else doesn't have to suffer that."Katie walks through a hypothetical scenario that illustrates how the mind creates its own suffering by imagining an event in a future that doesn't exist. Katie points him to his immovable true nature. "You don’t have to notice it; it's always there. It's yours, it's perfect, it's immovable. And it hurts when you argue against it." When I'm walking to the gas chamber, other than what I'm thinking and believing, what an amazing day! --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, Inc.

Om Podcasten

Byron Katie, founder of The Work, has one job: to teach people how to end their own suffering. As she guides people through the powerful process of inquiry she calls The Work, they find that their stressful beliefs—about life, other people, or themselves—radically shift and their lives are changed forever. Based on Byron Katie's direct experience of how suffering is created and ended, The Work is an astonishingly simple process, accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds, and requires nothing more than a pen, paper, and an open mind. Through this process, anyone can learn to trace unhappiness to its source and deal with it there. Katie (as everyone calls her) not only shows us that all the problems in the world originate in our thinking: she gives us the tool to open our minds and set ourselves free.
