Within by Dr Habib Sadeghi

All quotes from Habib's book

Through the power of being in your visualization, you can come to know something through experience and imprint upon the cells of your body what ought to be.  What you create in your virtual world, you bring into your material world.

Self-love is an act of “being” – not doing.

Everything in our lives… manifests not from what we wish or hope for, but what we deeply believe about ourselves.

We each have the ability to re-create our lives on a daily basis by managing our personal thought energy that arises from our beliefs.  If something negative is happening in your life, it’s time to look internally and examine how you are attracting these circumstances into your life based on your beliefs about yourself.

Because life is a mirror reflecting our inner nature back to us, we only have to look at the external conditions of our lives for clues to uncover the hidden beliefs that limit us.

Consciousness in the moment is what allows us to make new choices that heal and serve us.

When it comes to our lives, it’s the subtle energies of our expectations that drive us.

A great way to challenge your false beliefs is to compare what you believe with what you know.  There’s a big difference between believing something and knowing something.  Knowing something comes from direct physical experience, while believing something is an intellectual choice to see something as true.  When you believe something, you have to explain it or justify it to someone else.  When you know something, it’s self-evident.

We can see that our life situations and our bodies are not who we are, just where we are at the moment.

We don’t create our lives quite so much by what we’re thinking about but by what we’re feeling about.

Consciousness is beingness…. You cannot be sad but conscious of happiness at the same time.  Being conscious of something is a state of knowing something, being in the midst of it, experiencing it now.  We’ve learned that knowing, as opposed to believing, only comes from direct physical or emotional experience.  So, to become conscious of anything, we must generate an experience for ourselves that allows us to know what it’s like to be, do or have whatever it is we desire.

The subconscious creates what it knows, what it is aware of.  To raise our level of awareness, we must raise our level of beingness.

Being is the key to conscious creation.

Having is a natural by-product of being.

We only want what we want for one reason: how it will make us feel.

When we are being something, our lives are growth-oriented…. When we’re being, we’re not task-driven….The doing just comes naturally.

You create the consciousness of having your desire first, and then listen intuitively for what you need to do… You have to create the attitude of having your desire, not the outcome… So be it now.  You’ll be led to what you need to do, and soon you will have your desire.

"To flow” is the root of the word affluent…. Affluence is anything that flows towards others and is represented by our generosity with whatever might be at our disposal – whether it is our attention, our material resources, or our care.

Full responsibility and full power will always be a package deal.

Remember, it’s your story and you’re writing it.  Your life is a mirror image of you, reflecting back every energetic signal you’ve put out into the universe.

Saying yes to your contraction means being willing to discover what the problem is trying to teach us, rather than the problem itself.

When we see our problem as a call to return to wholeness, it becomes our ally, and we say yes to the situation as it is, reducing resistance.

Cooperating with our contraction means becoming conscious of what we feel, when we’re feeling it, and why we’re feeling it.

The goal in healing is to stop being manipulated by outer circumstances and to enter your experiences of contraction consciously and willingly.  The idea is to open your emotional challenges back up that were shut down earlier in life…. The intention is not to feel bad but to remain open to any feelings that come to the surface and allow them to be consciously and completely experienced.

If we are to heal our lives, we must remain open to receive all life has for us, including the challenges.

Remember, the universe is an affirmative place.  It’s always saying yes.

Many of our perceptions come from our parents, even before we were born. Investigating our parents’ perceptions can be valuable tools in changing our own.

Our genes are not performing based on what’s happening in our environment, but on what we think is happening in our environment.

The “real” circle of life goes like this:  an event occurs that we observe or experience which is filtered through our perception of it, after which we form a judgment as to whether it is “good” or “bad”, which leads to an emotional reaction, that results in a specific vibration being sent out into the universe, that creates an attraction for another matching event, and so on.  It seems like a lot of steps, but this process happens in a fraction of a second in every facet of our lives.  This is why it’s essential to not trust your physical sense if you want real change in your life.

Always look in the direction you want to go, no matter where your car is headed or how fast it’s taking you there.

So much of our own suffering in life is self-inflicted, usually when we make assumptions about the lives of others…. We constantly compares ourselves to others in regard to body image, salary, or accomplishments.  We compete with others on these levels to establish a sense of superiority and self-worth.  If we feel we’re on the long end of the competition, then we complain.
