Your partner's flaws are your own | Byron Katie



Byron Katie explains a post: "Your partner's flaws are your own, because you're projecting them."


"If my partner has a flaw, who is believing that?" Byron Katie says. "Where's the flaw? If I'm the one seeing it, I am its creator." 

Katie offers a personal example of how we project our flaws onto others. With the eyes of love, she can see her ex-husband standing before her, perfect, acting in a way that other people think is unacceptable. Through self-inquiry, we too can see our partners clearly, without the filter of our judgments.

"A flawed mind attacks.  It defends....Defence is the first act of war."
