Reality spectacles

After completing Byron Katie's Judge Your Neighbour Worksheet a few times, I feel as if I have a new set of glasses through which to view my world.

The transformation is amazing.

My judgemental thoughts about the so called problem dissolve, my story about it evaporates, and happiness replaces suffering.

It's hard to describe. As the saying goes, I had to experience it to believe it.

I've found that the process does require some humility. Each time I've completed the worksheet, I've discovered that I have been guilty of the fault that I'd been seeing in someone else. As Katie says, "Forgiveness is the discovery that what you thought happened, didn’t."

However, any price that I've paid has been more than worth it. A few moments of embarrassment quickly have given way to relief and joy.
