They know: The Divine Qualities are exquisite.
I’m going to switch to a Q&A format to allow me to cover greater ground quicker.
Our sources here say the divine qualities are the One, are Its essence, Its tools in creation, preservation, and dissolution.
When I was a kid, a subject like this was best left to the Pollyannas, the always-positive young children whom I judged as quaint.
And then I tasted the divine qualities – again and again. Bliss, love, ecstasy, peace, mastery, abundance, on and on the “visits” (1) to these consciousness states went.
Now I have to eat my words. The Pollyannas were more evolved than I was and neither of us knew it. Entering a divine state and expanding it is definitely a pathway to Union that gets better and better each step of the way.
Let’s then deepen our knowledge of the divine qualities (which, in Linda Dillon’s conversation, are more usually called “the Blessings and Virtues”).
We hear a lot about the divine qualities? What are they?
Federation of Light: [A divine quality is] one that is of Joy, Love, Contentment, Peace … Indeed, all manner of things that UPLIFT and not ‘bring down.’ (2)
Divine Mother: I wish you to realize the greatest gifts we have to offer thee are not simply in tangible form. They are felt or experienced tangibly in your very hands. They are the Divine Qualities. (3)
Jesus: So often you think of Love but you do not think of what it truly is. You describe it through an attribution of the Divine Qualities: Love is joy; Love is peace; Love is compassion; Love is truth. All this is true. Or you describe it as you love somebody, that you are loved, that you have experienced Love, that you love God, that God loves you, the Mother loves you, I love you. So there is a lot of back and forthing in this Love, isn’t there?
But what is Love? What is it? When I say that I re-entered the Love, I re-entered, I re-merged with Mother/Father/One/Source, Allah, Yahweh, whatever you think of as the One. What is Love? It is Source, it is the essence, the All of the Mother/Father/One. (4)
What’s the difference between a feeling and a divine state?
Steve Beckow: The difference between the two is that a feeling state seems to occur within us and can be pleasant or unpleasant or a mixture of both whereas a divine state seems to envelop and contain us and is uniformly beyond pleasant; it’s exquisite. (5)
SB: Let me state the difference between the two. A feeling happens, and is perceived as happening, inside me, inside my body.
A state of being happens, and is perceived as happening within a wider area than just inside my body. It’s as if I’m contained within it or enveloped by it. Bliss filled me up. I drown in love. I’ve been carried away by waves of ecstacy.
On this occasion, I was immersed in peace. (6)
What is their importance?
Archangel Michael: The beginning, the middle and the end of creating Nova Earth is the incorporation of [these divine] qualities within you. (7)
How do we achieve them?
Divine Mother: Grace is not something you need to retrieve; it is integral to who you are. (8)
Lao Tzu: Balance is not what you are aiming to achieve; it is who you are. (9)

AAM It is very simple: Visit; don’t stay. (Archangel Michael in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, May 6, 2013.)
