Do All the Divine Qualities Reside in the Heart?

As a result of writing a previous article, I saw that I was creating my joy in a moment of realization.
I wondered if I couldn’t create happiness as well.
So I called up happiness from my heart on the inbreath and sent it out to the world on my outbreath. And, yes, I could bring up happiness as well.
Again, if you’re on the awareness path, that’s another significant discovery. That makes the statement that “happiness is my creation” very much more significant.
Yes, I create it by calling it forth from my heart, where all the divine states of qualities seem to reside, if they can be said to reside anywhere.

At another point today, I had the first inkling of knowing how to create or up-level a feeling state I’m in.
I saw how, though I was not master of what thoughts arose, I was master of whether I’d get behind any one thought. I still had the power of choice.
I already knew that I could summon many if not all of the divine states up from my heart on my in-breath. Not in their full-blown majesty, but enough to have me supremely appreciate each of them – happiness, peace, joy, etc.
I feel more in control of myself now, more the master of how I be. And I don’t mean that in an overbearing way. It actually feels like the righting of a natural balance.
The Adult, the Commander, my Higher Self – Big Steve – feels like the natural candidate for leader of this merry band that “I” am. When he leads, it feels right. Little Steve, my wounded Child is not fighting it any longer, begging for attention. He too thinks it feels right. We’re unanimous.
Interesting. All very interesting.
Life as a learning experience.
