Byron Katie: You know I was walking on this amazing moonlit evening, in fact it was very late at night and a man approached me and he put a gun in my stomach and he said he was going to kill me. 
He was obviously very frightened which tells me simply that he was believing his thoughts.
And I looked into his eyes and his face and it was just so beautiful, the evening and the sky and the clouds and the full moon and he was so beautiful and so filled with fear and my thought was, I hope he doesn’t do that to him. We don’t like ourselves when we kill each other you know and for me, I have nothing to lose.You know, when you love what you think, then death is as beautiful as life and if you don’t love your life then you’re going to fear death because you’re going to project your life, that terrible life that you believe you lead into death, and of course it’s frightening. We frighten ourselves by the way that we live. But you know, no one would kill another human being if they weren’t believing their thoughts about that group of people or that person.
Will: So he didn’t pull the trigger?
Katie: He didn’t pull the trigger. I can’t remember what I said. Probably you know, I understand you know if this is what you have to do. You have to do it, there’s no choice you know, depending on what he believed, I would live or die and I don’t have a choice as to what another human being believes but for whatever reason, I think I was so in love with him that he just automatically didn’t pull the trigger.
I have so many experiences like that. People believe that you’re the enemy and you’re not and you know it’s all been a misunderstanding. It’s not possible to have an enemy, it’s what we’re believing about other people that leads us to believe that they’re an enemy.
