The Byron Katie inquiries overlaps in many ways with approaches I have used in the past, and also many other approaches out there.
A brief overview of how the Byron Katie inquiries seem to correspond with other approaches.
Question number…
- Is it true?
Awareness of the discrepancy between opinions and reality. - Can you absolutely know it is true?
Awareness of how abstractions are always only relative truth, unable to touch any absolute truth. Awareness of the limits of knowledge. - How do you react when you believe that thought?
Psychotherapy (exploring how we are apparently screwed up). - Who would you be without the thought?
Shikantaza. Big Mind process (Big Mind/Heart, nonseeking mind). Headlessness. Atma Vichara. Mindfulness based psychotherapy. - Turnarounds
Projections. Shadow work. Everything and everybody are mirrors for myself. Awareness of abstractions as only relative truth, unable to touch any absolute truth.
