Part 3 - Amsterdam

🔸 "Are you even aware where his hand is?"

This was incredibly deep work with a woman whose father had sexually abused her. There was a moment when her father was approaching her, and she said she hated him. Katie guided her to look more clearly at what was happening in that exact moment when she was suffering. When her father entered the room, before he had even come close to her, she was already trapped in the dream of past/future — recalling images of his hand, how and where it had touched her before, and projecting that he would come close and do the same again.
The reality was: her father was still standing at the door, but she was already suffering.
Such deep and powerful work. Katie’s question was razor-sharp and awakening: “Are you even aware where his hand is?”

🔸 Past is over. We’re safe right here, right now.

🔸 Clear mind is everything.

🔸 You’re our possibility. Katie told this to a woman, meaning: when you inquire into a traumatic experience and find freedom and peace, you become a path — a possibility — for others too. You become the living proof that it’s possible.

🔸 As I get clear, my choices become sane.

🔸 No one has to do The Work, but me.

🔸 You’re not even there. Witnessing a movie. It’s a movie. What causes suffering? Bullies — or the images of past and future?
This was with a mother whose child was bullied at school. Katie helped her see that the pain she felt came not so much from the bullying itself, but from the images of past and future her mind was holding.

🔸 If you’re angry, you’re dreaming.

🔸 We don’t see the person in front of us. We see the person we believe them to be. This shows there’s an unfinished story running in our mind. If you feel powerless, it’s just another worksheet.

🔸 I look at my daughter. Is that my daughter — or my imagination? Daughter, or past images of her, or future images of her? Wake up inside those images!

🔸 Heart = right mind.

🔸 Fearless state of mind — it’s pure connection, deep connection. There, everything is possible. It’s a limitless state of mind.

🔸 I’m an imagined self — until I take responsibility for myself.

🔸 Being present is to love life.

🔸 There is nothing that I can’t deal with NOW.

🔸 When you get present — you move into a limitless, fearless state.

🔸 You try to protect the child — but it’s the image of the child (past/future)! Come home to your child.
Katie was showing that when the mother’s child was bullied, she created a story about her child based on the past and on fears of the future. Every time she was with her child afterward, she was relating not to the actual child in front of her, but to these images. She couldn’t see her real child in the present moment — who may have been completely fine. So deep...

🔸 Love is the power! You got that. But where is the awareness of love when you’re in a trance?

🔸 Are you okay? — Describe the situation without what you believe. All is well in your world, in reality.

🔸 No one has the power to take peace from you. The cause of suffering is only what you’re thinking and believing.
