About this worksheet
This exercise was created by Byron Katie. It is one of many self-inquiry methods that appear in her book, The Work.
If you haven't done so already, please first complete Part 1 of this exercise: Judge Your Neighbour, and email the completed worksheet to yourself.
Now that you have your completed Judge Your Neighbour worksheet, you are going to refer to the statements you wrote there for the following exercise.
Run each of the six statements in your Judge Your Neighbour worksheet (your responses to questions 1-6) through the 4-question worksheet on this page one at a time. After completing each one, click on the button at the bottom to email your responses to yourself.
To the right, there is an an example showing how the answer to Question 1 of the Judge Your Neighbour example might be taken through the four questions in One Belief at a Time.
Leave out any statement beginning with "but", because", or "and." Often you will have several judgements about one person. Take each judgment separately through the inquiry process.
This is a form of 'meditation' inquiry. It's about awareness: it's not about trying to change your mind. Let the mind ask the questions, then contemplate. Take your time, go inside, and wait for the deeper answers to surface.
