For those of you who are following the Eckhart Tolle class on Oprah, as I am, you may want to check out the work of Byron Katie. She has a method of inquiry actually called, "The Work," that really helps to sort out the truth from our judgments about reality. Here is what Eckhart himself says about her on her site:
"Byron Katie’s Work is a great blessing for our planet. The root cause of suffering is identification with our thoughts, the ‘stories’ that are continuously running through our minds. The Work acts like a razor-sharp sword that cuts through that illusion and enables you to know for yourself the timeless essence of your being. Joy, peace, and love emanate from it as your natural state.” -Eckhart Tolle, author, The Power of Now
There are quite a few videos you can click on where you can watch Byron in action, doing The Work with people at workshops.
I have her book "Loving What Is," and "I Need Your Love - Is That True?"
I am sharing this because I did The Work on some things that were bothering me last night and I had a Eureka moment. So much so that I dreamed I was in a hospital and Byron Katie was my doctor. Is that a message or what?!
Check her out. You'll be glad you did!

I have been getting called to listen/read Byron Katie, and now this. No accidents. Can't talk now, gotta go respond to the Universe.
love.
I started to read one of her books earlier this year and I thought "very Power of Now."
We are blessed to have so many beautiful teachers doing amazing work, at this transformative time on our planet.
Our kids included.
I watched several of her videos. They were very interesting. The one I keep remembering is the girl that felt her father was too controlling. It is good to remember that we are always in charge of ourselves (or however it was more eloquently described.)
