I've been serious about 'right view' and the Tibetan traditions for some time "schooled." Thanks anyway. And I wouldn't trust someone not hip to Katies clarity

Hey Iam: not really sure how to respond to this. My first thought was "thanks for the vituperative snark, it's really common among Katieheads and those with advaita pretensions". But then I reconsidered: if there' even a tiny genuine impulse towards understanding self and reality I should probably respond. An initial zero experience doesn't necessarily improve behavior, but if you do get serious about, as the Tibetans say, "the conduct and the view", please do keep me posted. Thanks.

I was a little put off by the 'very unusual' closeness with which they were sitting, invading each other's space... I mean, if they were about start having sex or something it would make sense, but for a intellectual talk, just a little disturbing, in a way I cant explain... :/

Hi igotschooled: I have a judgement that you're an old fashioned idiot. So far I have not been able to find a turnaround. I'll keep you posted. ;-)

This is actually corporate spam from one of the world's most effective LGAT teachers. Google "Byron Katie cult" or check out igotschooled%blogspot%com for a summary of what's out there.

She didn't for her first two books but in the third book discussed how she developed Fuch's Dystrophy and her eyesight was going. I think the problem is fixed now. You should read "A Thousand Names for Joy". There are marvelous passages about her gratefulness for not seeing etc.

"judge not, lest ye be judged" that is a simple truth, not a simple command. the same mind that judges "others" judges "you" in the very same moment. that's just the way it is. if "your" mind stops comparing "you" with "others" a great burden is relinquished. but you got it anyway, so this is just a rant about your truncated quotation. as a koan, it strikes me harder (i think) than when issued as a command backed up with a threat. that's what i just got, thanks to your comment. best, p

Great stuff! I can't get enough of this!

to my understanding, she had eye surgery of some kind within past year to forestall blindness (that her husband insisted on, as she accepted "What is") and that her vision is restored.

Byron Katie's a life-saver. Does anyone know if she is blind? She has a odd way of looking at people while being interviewed. I have always wanted to know. Nothing negative, I absolutely love her :), THANKS BYRON!
