Long term results of the Work

[Silvester]

I am interested in the effects of doing the Work by Byron Katie for an extended period of time. 

As for myself I was not very consistent until now with the practice but still feel like it has helped me a lot. Feelings of peacefulness and openness wash over me whenever I do it, so I am curious what could happen if you were to do it for a long time habitually. Especially what kind of spiritual growth one could expect. Theoretically, if you were to question the statement "I am a person" and several other identifications, would it be possible to attain enlightenment with this process?

Anyone here with some experiences?  Also generally how the process changed your mind and life, short term as well.

@Silvester you can attain enlightenment and live in 100% bliss all day.

I found it useful to start with more 'peripheral' identities such as 'I am in a bad mood' or 'I have a rash on my hand' and work my way in to more core identities. I found that 'what I identify as' could handle that process more than a straight out questioning of what I thought was an essential identity.

And I have no notion of enlightenment.

'I am not enlightened' 'I am enlightened' - more statements to question.

Best wishes,

I have been doing Byron Katie's work for several years now and I can confidently say that it really works wonders!
