Fathers Don't Die

A young woman states "I'm devastated because my father is dead." Byron Katie asks her "How do you react when you believe that thought?" Woman: "When I believe that thought, I feel sick, I imagine his pain, I feel powerless." BK: "Where does your father live now?" Woman: "In my mind." BK: "Where did he live before he died? Same place." Together, they investigate thoughts like "I want him to be alive," "He should be at peace," "He's gone forever," and "He's the provider." "If you go slow and meditate on what you've written on your Worksheet, one beloved assumption at a time, what answers these questions will wake you up." —Byron Katie ©2016 Byron Katie International, Inc.

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.
