I read the following piece in one of Byron Katie’s books today. And then I laughed out loud. It’s such a great example of how The Work works:

“An erection means that you’re sexually aroused” – is that true? Are you sure?

Do you believe everything that you think? What does it really mean? It’s an erection. That’s it! The story you tell about it is where your suffering begins.

For example, if you have the belief that you should put your erection somewhere, and there’s nowhere to put it, that’s what is hurting you. If you didn’t believe the thought that you should do something with it, you’d simply join with it, you’d become it, and it would be a complete experience – the beginning, the middle and the end. No climax, no ejaculation, just a beautiful erect penis, coming from nowhere and with nowhere to go.
