You're very welcome. Katie blows my mind every time.

+carmenl163 you're so welcome! It's such a pleasure to pass this work on

i know right! Just so profound.

Eye opening;)

+Rick B thank you for taking the time in writing such a detailed response. I agree with you wholeheartedly. Katie's Work blew my mind around the idea of love & relationships, which you have so clearly described. In my opinion, Katie gives us the HOW to connect with these concepts of love without needing or requiring the other to change. So much more freedom. Much more scope for possibility and connection and intimacy - knowing that we are the source of Love and can always feel that no matter who we are with. That understanding has been profound and life changing for me and I love passing that wisdom & gift on.

+Andrea Crump Its liberating and perhaps a bit disconcerting to discover that the way we've been looking at and approaching love relationships is all wrong. What I mean by wrong is it doesn't give us the desired outcome that we wish for. Katie, said something when I saw her in person many years ago..."I'm certain that everybody loves me but I don't expect them to know that yet." Who we love is our business and who loves us is theirs. I don't need anyone's permission to love them and when you realize this very fact you are free.t The wisdom of how to truly love someone has always resided within us and the questions helps us to access this wisdom. Like BK always says if you want to be depressed get a past and if you want to be fearful get a future. I love you and I love Katie. Thanks again. I hope our paths cross again soon.

***** Yes!!! Her words are so profound aren't they! And I love connecting with people who have been touched too. thank you for watching.

I'm also a woman of color, she has changed my whole outlook on life. I'm so thankful for her knowledge. I wish a lot more of us would do the work.

leiab365 I know what you mean!!! Thank you for sharing that.

E Steves thank you so much! Always great to connect with others who love The Work 😊

You're most welcome Tanya! I couldn't agree with you more. The Work is life changing and I love hearing from others who have been touched by The Work too.

+Emrys Jones I couldn't agree with you more!

You are very welcome Kirsten!

Thank you Bamjimba. She was a pleasure to interview. And I felt at peace just by being in her presence and hearing her words.

big smiley face .....bj

+Emrys Jones thank you so much for taking the time to say that. It was enlightening to me to listening to her again but also having the privilege to have that private time with her.

+Andrea Crump Andrea - I'd just like to echo the comments below me about this being possibly one of the best interviews of her I've ever seen. I wrote my earlier comments before I had seen the whole video. Fantastic video and I keep getting more out of it. I love how open and freely Katie gives insights into her personal life. Very admirable. Can I ask - is this an interview set up by you, or is it from her 'Conversations'? I love her 'Conversations' videos and would also love to find more of them. Thanks for the great interview.

Emrys Jones Hi Emrys. And thank you so much! My intention was to add something different that I haven't seen shared on KZfaq before. So glad that that's been translated. This is an interview set up by me and not one of the 'conversations' series, which follows a different format it seems. so glad that you're getting value from the interview.

You're most welcome Irene! And yes, The Work is incredible and has been life changing for me to. Welcome to The Work of Byron Katie. x

Thank you so much! It was great interview Katie.

+Erika Denney thank you so much Erika! She's a fascinating woman and have learnt a LOT from her.

+Sophie Schuller you're very welcome!

Katie is not about the Law of Attraction, she is about finding your own truth. Wanting a partner is the truth of human condition, how can you say that? How can you speak for everybody? The only thing you can know, is if you want a partner in this moment. The Work is just a great tool to help you find your answers. And then someone is attracted to you or not.

+Morten Tolboll Er .....Sorry ...BUT ....I am a man too ....Also i have 2 Degrees ....one in Philosophy/Psychology & Comparative Religion ...& one in Counselling & Psychotherapy ....& i always find it sad to hear self - confessing so called "clever people" being so closed-minded & openly sexist/jealous etc etc .....

+Morten Tolboll As I was reading your comment I was reading it as though you are angry or upset. I do understand I could be wrong about that, though I am wondering if the way you approached Byron Katie was with an interpersonal style that could be perceived as less than kind. If your purpose for going on stage and speaking with Katie was for the sole intent to discredit her work in front of a crowd, then from my perspective that would seem highly inappropriate. As I see that scene happening in my mind, I think I would also decide to ask you to leave the stage. Whether right or wrong in your eyes, at a Byron Katie event most people seem go to learn about The Work and not how for a seminar on how to engage in philosophical debate. After all, The Work what she is known for. I have also never heard her claim to be a philosopher or to understand Eastern spiritual traditions. In fact, from what I have read and listened to she has openly discussed that she did not "come from that world" and did not have terms to put on her experience until much later when she was involved with "spiritual people." My main point is that Byron Katie is not a philosopher, she does not call herself a spiritual teacher, and I have heard her plainly state that all she has to offer anyone are the four questions and turnaround. With that in my mind, it seems like expecting more from her comes only from the contents of your mind. In fact, it seems like you would have to be actively ignoring her frequent statements that she is not what you seem to think she should be to gain your approval. If you are ignoring those statements she has made then you're either (a) not doing your research or (b) you too have fallen into the trap of cognitive bias (which, if you know as much about this stuff as you allude to, you'd know it's nearly impossible to avoid bias because our brains have evolved to be efficient and not accurate or honest). I'm not saying that critical thinking, the scientific method, or philosophical inquiry are bad or that they shouldn't be applied to The Work. What I am saying is that based on what I know of Byron Katie your approach to interacting with her was contextually inappropriate. It seems your approach was meant more to gain a sense of validation or to aggrandize your perception of your knowledge rather than to actually understand her or anyone else. I don't begrudge you if you don't like Byron Katie. In fact, as a psychotherapist I have gone back and forth myself. Still, I felt like your approach to this was misguided. If you want a philosophical debate, then debate The Work with your philosophy colleagues. Byron Katie never claimed the knowledge or skill to engage in such dialogues in the first place.

Morten Tolboll Most theories of psychotherapy have direct philosophical underpinnings. For example, all humanistic orientations are based off of phenomenology. Postmodern theories of psychotherapy are often have constructivist philosophical underpinnings. Solution-focused therapy is based on ideas associated with pragmatism. Behavioral approaches often incorporate the idea of teleology in explanations of human behavior. Experiential therapies (e.g., Gestalt therapy) are based directly off of Eastern philosophical ideals. In short, I wouldn't go assuming I don't know about philosophy because I'm a psychotherapist.

Morten Tolboll I can see by your response to my psychotherapy and philosophy comment that you do not actually know about psychotherapy theory. It is all based off of philosophy, so it has everything to do with philosophy. That's where it all started. Also, I have been involved in spirituality for a long time. Even so, I am not interested in being accepted or rejected from a zen monastery. I don't want to live in a monastery, that is not an interest of mine. Also, I'm not really defending Byron Katie as much as pointing out my observation that your approach to making your point wasn't effective given the context. It also seems like you believe she should know more about spirituality and philosophy than she does, which does not make sense to me. She does not claim to be a spiritual guru. If others call her one, that cannot be controlled by her. I'm also not sure your anti-American prejudice is very Zen. Anyway, this will be my last response. I can see that your anger overrides your intellect.

What is your point? That she doesn't do philosophical inquiries? Well, that's right. She does another form of inquiry. So why bother here on stage with that? To me, it is like jumping on stage with Beyonce and asking here to sing Rihanna songs. Not relevant at all.
