Maybe I'm Not So Enlightened?—Is It True?
Melanie notices that after she does The Work, moments of peace lead her to think she is more enlightened than she is. 'How can I do The Work more honestly?' she asks Byron Katie. 'How can I stop pretending that I have more understanding than I do?' Katie says that in those moments when you feel so free, you can question your thought. ''This is enlightenment—is it true?' You may be having an amazing experience,' she says. 'But then you put a label on it, and the 'I' is born, and that moves you from the experience. 'As for how you can do The Work more honestly,' Katie says. 'You just find a moment in time when you're stressed out. It could be the tiniest thing, like the Princess and the Pea. Then you see clearly why you were angry or disappointed, and that's how you do The Work more honestly. You come to trust the silence that so clearly shows you that situation. What a gift!'
