The Way of The Livingness, a Beetle and the Magic of God

The other day I had quite an unusual experience of the magic of God at play, the language of symbolism as presented by The Way of The Livingness.

I am quite used to leaves and feathers in unusual places; the story of a beetle appearing on a friend’s kneecap after she had told her daughter that her pain felt like a beetle gnawing at her; a huge butterfly majestically gliding past umbrellas and patrons in an outdoor cafe setting in the middle of town, and so the list goes on.

That day I was driving to work and happened to follow a VW Beetle for quite a distance, as there was nowhere to overtake safely. Did I say overtake? This little creature was actually powering along at an amazing pace and the noise from the rear air-cooled engine certainly brought back memories of my first two cars. I could see that this specimen was quite old, an early model, sitting very low, looking very rounded and plumed. When we got to a T-junction I noticed to my amazement and joy that it had no indicator lights but instead the old flicker that poked out of the top side of the car on the pillar between the front and rear seat. I hadn’t seen a Beetle this old in ages, not even in Germany, and here we were in rural NSW, Australia!

I kept enjoying the sound of the motor in front of me for a while longer until the driver turned off the main road and I thought no more of it.

Later that afternoon a call came up on my mobile with no caller ID. I answered and a man said in German: “Hello, I am so and so.” He then proceeded to ask: “Are you the daughter of so and so?” And I said: “No need to ask really, I know who you are.”

The man was calling from Canada, a cousin I hadn’t spoken to in over 30 years; he and his family had seemingly vanished even though I had been especially close to his wife and even lived with them for a while.

As we talked everything was as familiar as though I had only been there the day before; the name of his wife was just there for me, as were the names of their children, as was the name of the street they lived in.

And what does that have to do with God, The Way of The Livingness or the Magic of God?

The Way of The Livingness teaches that we are always held by God, no matter what affiliation or philosophy, what age or profession and regardless of our choice to either align to, or live in active opposition to this constellation. The Way of The Livingness also needs no special buildings where you can commune with God or feel His presence. Being held within the All, which is God, where could you possibly go or be where God is not?

And with the magic of God and the signs and symbols we are continually given, be it in the form of a leaf, a group of kookaburras laughing joyfully, a butterfly gracefully crossing your path or a fly nearly bumping into you – who needs a special consecrated building to commune with God?

All I can say is that the magic of God was very much at play that day. The Beetle had prepared me for something from the past and so the phone call, as unexpected and out of the blue as it was after such a long time, came strangely enough as no surprise, even though it did. No exclamation marks or awkward gaps, gasps of air or excuses – just the lovely ebb and flow in the conversation between three people – my cousin, his wife and me – connecting again after a very long time.

  1. If you tune in and be open to what is next, all will be felt and therefore you will be more than ready to be with it and not in reaction. This ability is there for all — I know that because I know that ability is not owned by me, but comes from the universe owned by us all.

    1. For myself, I can’t be sure that the universe is owned by us – in fact, it just doesn’t sit right. The concept of owning is temporal and man-made and, if I may suggest as much, individualised and individualising to me.

  3. We are not alone in the universe and being open to exploring that nothing is random and ‘just happens’ can open up to exploring who and what we are with in this universe.

    1. There is no such thing as ‘random’ or ‘haphazard’ in our universe. It might suit some to think that way and has made it even into education and parenting, but does not reflect a realty that is far grander than those concocted notions.

  4. Magically it works — hence it throws any lie out of the window that says : we can only connect with God when we are clean, in a special place, when we are a holy person or with someone who is holy, in status, with an agenda — all the false reliability can be discarded, for it takes only a connection to the Breath of God to know Him.

  5. “Being held within the All, which is God, where could you possibly go or be where God is not?” – This statement feels so true to me, and makes the concept of needing to go to church to find God seem so limiting and unnecessary. What could be more accessible to God than all the people around us who are living Sons of his Light and all the animals, plants, mountains, etc. that constantly reflect something to us to help bring us back to our divine essence?

  6. The structure of my mind, i.e. the consciousness I am familiar with and has formed my way of awareness and thinking, sometimes finds it difficult to get the symbolism. Sometimes I think that one can put a bit too much meaning or interpretation into things that happen, and although that may be so at times, first and foremost it exposes the limitation, rigidity and need for control that simply feels challenged by a way of seeing and understanding life in a less linear way, that actually is spherical and uncontrollable.

    1. I do know what you mean – this need to read meaning into everything; maybe that’s where the tea leaves came from? But then again, that tiny little feather that floats down from above, right in front of my eyes – where does it come from and how come I happen to be right here, at this very moment? How much are we not the source of what we might think we are the instigators of? And what is really going on?

      1. Yes, knowing oneself being part of and living in a greater whole where constant communication is happening and not just looking out into the world from the confines of one’s narrowed, self-focused mind.

  8. Very beautiful to feel the presence of God is reflected through our everyday living as a reminder that we are held through our everyday living to reflect the truth of who we are, the light of God, love, through all we do and the connections we make.

  9. Such beautiful examples of how life can be such a beautiful flow when we go with it and allow the space for it, for what I feel reading this is a feeling an allowing, a feeling of space, of observation and when we can be with life in this way, we see and feel it’s magic; that magic is always there of course, but we see it when we observe and allow space. And to read these lines … ‘we are always held by God’ … ‘Being held within the All, which is God, where could you possibly go or be where God is not?’ and that is the gorgeousness of what’s there for us always.

  10. I never tire of receiving magical messages from God such as the one you received, Gabriele. And I am never surprised when and where the messages appear, but simply smile in appreciation at the message God has offered me in that moment with the absolute knowing it won’t be the last.

  11. In a world that is so seemingly mundane and just about what we do, the magic of God shows us there is far more to life than what we see, because to see and understand the magic of God we have to come back to where the magic came from, the love within us.

    1. The Magic of God delivers multidimensionality rather than the three dimensions it suits us to be bound by.

  12. For me there is always a strong knowing and feeling when a Magic of God moment is happening, it just feels undeniably magical and I feel that I am deeply understood and held. Another person may just see the event I have experienced as nothing special, but there is a deep inner knowing about it for me.

  13. We are all a part of the All and never can we cease to be a part of this, we can only turn off our awareness and in so doing begin to live in a very truncated way. This is how we ‘lose God’ so to speak, but how he never ever loses us.

  14. I often find when somebody comes to my mind, before long I will run into them at the shops or receive a phone call from them. I love what you have shared Gabriele, the magic of God is all around for everyone if they only have eyes to see and an open heart to receive.

    1. That happens to me a lot too Jill, including people I have not seen or thought of for a long time.

  16. We are continually being communicated by God, if we chose to see those symbols as a means of God’s communication instead of trying to figure it out from the head.
    I loved reading your blog, it felt I was right there following the VW Beetle.

  17. There is something deeply sacred in what you share here Gabriele. There’s a palpable stillness and majesty in the symbolism of God – the magic our divinity is communicated to us with.

  18. The magic of God is all around us, and it is there to remind us that we are interconnected with the all, to live in the awe of how amazing life is and the way everything is constellated when we surrender to that which is divine.

    1. Very beautifully shared Francisco. There is indeed a far greater depth and sacredness for us to explore of who we are and what we are here to live.

  19. It’s almost like you can see life in two ways, you can simply see what is in front of you – a bit like watching a flat 2d TV screen, or you can see that behind everything is a reason and a meaning and a lesson and then life becomes not a flat TV screen but an incredible multidimensional experience where you realise just how much of the world is designed to help you out.

    1. That’s a brilliant way to put it Meg, and no longer do we feel alone once the truth of what you say is felt.

  20. The expression ‘out of the blue’ has the magic of God within it as blue is the colour of healing and every event that appears to come ‘out of the blue’ is an opportunity to reflect on what is being shown to us.

    1. I like that a lot; it gives the expression “out of the blue” a whole new meaning and a lot of depth.

  21. A lovely article which gives and shows us a way to live that truly supports us no matter what part of time we stand in. I loved the description of the old VW Beetle and know exactly the style of car that was being spoken about and brings me to the awareness that everything, all I have ever needed is right here with me now and all I need do is keep being aware and feeling more and then automatically it’s all there. There is no need to do anything or be anyone when the facts are we are already everything; our ‘work’ is just that we need to reawaken to this fact.

  22. There is nothing like a story that engages when it is about the magic of God – I love it! What I find super-special is how God takes care of me with the weather when I need not to be wet undertaking a task. It’s not much I ask for this but God delivers when I do! It makes me wonder … I should ask for more support. I cherish all in all my connection with God and what it feels like right now to express this into words. Ahhh the Magic of God!

  24. I love this. Perhaps we are always being prepared for life in such subtle ways. It’s up to us whether we choose to read the signs and accept all that is lovingly on offer.

  26. Life seems so simple and makes complete sense when I am open to the magic of God, this constant communication from the Divine has been key to deepening the relationship with myself and others in my life.

  27. The question that comes to me is whether do things like these just happen ‘out of the blue’? Or do they have to do also with our way of moving towards the scene where things happen?

  28. Always beautiful and confirming to be reminded that when we are in communion with our Soul we are in communion with God, and can freely observe that the communication of God’s love and the universe is everywhere.

  29. Just gorgeous Gabriele, a beautiful example of the support we are continuously offered if we are willing to read the signs.

  30. This is an amazing example of the magic of God Gabriele and may I add that if we feel the magic that can only come from God and it is felt in the body when we respect our body. So that when things are needed there is a shift around us and we can feel the pain in our body then we can bring about a loving change. This is not a matter of just going oops but an allowing and then nominating of what is true we can then healing because of what is felt in our body. We can then bring healing through moving in a different energy so that we can heal.

  31. “The Way of the Livingness teaches that we are always held by God, no matter what affiliation or philosophy, what age or profession and regardless of our choice to either align to or live in active opposition to this constellation.” Thank you Gabriele, these words are so beautiful for me to read today, as I still feel in my body the energy of a ‘them and us’ which is a left over from my Christian days.

    1. Which might point to how institutionalised religion separates and supports one lot of people to regard themselves as better than another? Or, taken further, how people can think of themselves as ‘chosen’ at the expense of everybody else in the world.

      1. Any thought about any type of difference will bring a judgement which causes separation and where does this energy come from as it does not come from the Love of God?

  32. What a sweet and evoking article, it felt like I could smell and hear the beetle with how detailed you describe it. If we open our hearts to the messages from God, they are everywhere just waiting to be found.

    1. Gorgeous Sarah. It is so true that we are in constant communication with God, whether we are aware of it or not it continues and is ever-present. A testament of the eternal unwavering love that we are held, to return to be the love we are.

  33. Life – wherever it is lived – indeed then becomes our ‘cathedral’, doesn’t it Gabriele… We are His children, wherever we may be.

  34. To take in the moments from God require us to live in a way where we notice all that is happening around us. So often we are too busy to clock the magic that surrounds us- one of the great issues within society today is how much we are in the rush and busy-ness and in this how much we then miss out on each other.

  35. Moments of Magic of God communicate that not only are we held by God continually, but that we are cared for and understood to the finest detail.

  36. There is much that is communicated to us by God by means of symbols. We tend to ignore them but if we do not we see that nothing in life comes out of the blue. We get warned /prepared in advance for what comes our way.

    1. We might get a warning if we read it but more often than not, I personally find that the symbolism comes as a confirmation.

  37. When we all finally accept that the magic of God is not merely in a church but all around us regardless of where we are 24/7, the lighter and simpler life will feel and be.

    1. I am tempted to say that the magic of God is not in a church but then again, everything is in God and that includes our human misinterpretations and aberrations, of course.

  38. In this article, I can feel that if we are prepared to take notice, we are always aware of what is coming towards us. The communication may not be with words, but words are not needed when our heart is the reader of the messages.

  39. Reading your blog, Gabriele, I can feel so strongly the truth of, “The Way of the Livingness also needs no special buildings where you can commune with God or feel His presence. Being held within the All, which is God, where could you possibly go or be where God is not?” I feel held in a beautiful warm blanket.

  40. Life becomes very joyful Gabriele when we allow ourselves to see all the magic that is around us all of the time, either confirming where we are or preparing us for the next thing to come. With that everything of life can be read and known, it is just up to us to see it or not which is actually a choice.

  41. I love how we are always prepared for what is next, we just have to be open to seeing and reading the magic at play. We are supported beyond our wildest dreams and the more we see this and connect to it the more it comes to life. Or we can choose to ignore it, it will still be there we just won’t choose to see and appreciate the gift it is offering us.

  42. How beautiful Gabriele. If we allow ourselves to receive the messages we begin to see how rich life is.

  43. God is constantly communicating with us in various forms. We just have to be open to it, connect to the magic and we will see and feel His love and messages are everywhere.

  44. What amazes me is that one moment in life prepares you for the next, I’m wondering what this moment now is preparing us for.

  45. Gabriele, each time I read this blog a new level of understanding comes through. Everything has a purpose and depending on where we are at we will get the meaning offered or not. Every message is about loving ourselves and allowing the space to be with what is offered. This blog has been perfect for me this morning – thank you.

  46. Very beautiful to feel your appreciation for the details of life and what comes to your way. Just makes me wonder what I might be missing when I get too immersed in my own little world and think what comes to my way unexpectedly as inconvenience or nuisance.

    1. The Magic of God asks us to step out of our little bubbles of self and open our eyes to a much vaster canvass and glory.

      1. Our little bubble does indeed stop us from seeing and feeling the magic of God. Choosing to step out of it is the most freeing and magical feeling of deep connection with everyone and everything, and the entire universe.

  47. Loved rereading your blog this morning, life is constellated on so many levels, and the more connected we are with ourselves the more our life just has a natural flow about it, beautiful how you already had a sign preparing your reconnection with old friends too.

  49. You brought connection, magic and God to such a profound example that we all can earthly feel. It resonates deep within to feel where you come from and to see that no matter how we have aligned or not aligned, this innermost essence is there always; we can simply so connect. Thank you Gabriele.

  50. Gabriele I loved reading your blog and the beautiful reminder to stay open to the magic of God and the many messages we are constantly receiving, to close this communication off we lose the immense joy and divinity that is available to us always.

  51. “And with the magic of God and the signs and symbols we are continually given, be it in the form of a leaf, a group of kookaburras laughing joyfully, a butterfly gracefully crossing your path or a fly nearly bumping into you – who needs a special consecrated building to commune with God?”
    Indeed Gabrielle, who does; as I take my morning walk this morning I will do so with new awareness and appreciation for the magic and presence of God.

  52. Thankyou Gabriele for these beautifully confirming words that the magic of God is alive and well within and all around us. By appreciating this we open our eyes to the true beauty we are forever held in and that is communicating to us, whether we are choosing to listen or not.

  53. It is very beautiful to feel that when we do surrender to the sense of knowing how we are always held by God’s love, every single one of us, there is an ever-present richness to life to appreciate. As such we then have the awareness and understanding of how life is a continuous flow from one moments to another, with every moment, every meeting with another or every interaction with life, offering a significant reflection and an opportunity to confirm the fact, that we are forever interconnected through the oneness of God’s love, with all in this universe.

  54. All too often we miss these precious moments because we are in too much of a hurry or bogged down in our self-created busyness. A gorgeous reminder to take the time to stop and smell the roses!

  55. Thank you Gabriele for a truly beautiful blog,about the magic of God which is always all around us even if we are not aware. I just love this line “Being held within the All, which is God, where could you possibly go or be where God is not?” cradled in the womb of Divine love.

    1. With all the imperfections of life and living in it, it is sometimes easy to forget that there is a stupendous reminder and reflection of our origins and true nature, the divineness and perfection that surround and support us.

  56. Why wouldn’t God, our loving father communicate with us all day long? In my view, and in my experience, he does just that and it is up to us to ‘open up the ears of our heart’ to hear what he is ‘saying’.

  57. Whether we choose to feel and sense the magic of God or not, God is constantly communicating with us. There are no special ones as we are all the sons of God equally so and it is down to me the extent to which I allow and welcome the signs and symbols God offers me to support me to be and live the love that I am.

  58. I have goose bumps over my body reading this blog, feeling the absolute confirmation of God and the magic that’s always there. When we say yes to seeing God’s magic we feel the endless support that is continuously offered.

  59. “The Way of the Livingness also needs no special buildings where you can commune with God or feel His presence. Being held within the All, which is God, where could you possibly go or be where God is not?” Beautiful Gabriele. God is with us wherever we are.

  60. Words were created at some point to name an activity already established. So, activities are first and words second. Yet, not every activity got registered in words. Most of the activity of God towards us does not come through words but through symbols. The problem with symbols is that it is not always easy to truly understand what they mean and that words tend to be louder and concentrate much more our attention so we tend to miss what God wants to share with us.

    1. I have often pondered on what you share here Eduardo. Words often cannot convey the depth of all that is felt, and experienced within or expressed. There is so much we miss when we are not reading the wisdom in symbology.. Though we are more attuned and responding to the energy of unspoken language than we may realise.

  61. So true Doug, it sounds so silly that we live that reduced life while everything in us is so desperately looking outside of us for this true connection with that other aspect of our lives, that 5th dimension and our connection with God, while this connection is simply within us and we are constantly reminded of this through the magical moments in our lives.

  62. We are surrounded by love, the magic of God all the time and it is up to us to see it or not. While busy with our self created thoughts we escape from that magical world we undeniable are part of, the magical world of that connects us to another dimension in life which we can call divine as that is our true origin and where we belong. Opening up to the magic in life is opening up to that other dimension we actually belong to and to live in this way will restore true health and well-being back to us and to the societies we live in.

  63. Thank you Gabriele for reminding us that the Magic of God is everywhere. As I ponder this I am aware that it is up to us to be open to the communication God brings to support us moment to moment and if we are not open, if we live our lives distracted then we will miss these special moments. I loved the question you have posed for us all – ‘Being held within the All, which is God, where could you possibly go or be where God is not?’. Beautiful.

  64. That is so awesome Gabriele, to have that on offer and to clock it and appreciate it is absolutely massive. Thank you.

  65. Thank you Gabriele for a beautiful reading and reminder that love is all around us and within us and the Magic of God happens on a daily basis if we are open to see and feel it.

  66. Thank you for sharing this evocative Magic of God moment, once we open up to these messages they are all around us and support us in our everyday lives. As a student I drove a Beetle and loved it and they always bring a smile to my face when I see one. When I get caught up in the busyness of what is happening, for example, at work it is beautiful how often something unexpected happens to bring me back to the moment and to appreciate the Magic of God all around me.

  67. “And with the magic of God and the signs and symbols we are continually given, be it in the form of a leaf, a group of kookaburras laughing joyfully, a butterfly gracefully crossing your path or a fly nearly bumping into you – who needs a special consecrated building to commune with God?”
    So beautifully expressed Gabriele; the magic of God expressed through the divine power of symbolism is indeed an amazing opportunity for our true learning and expanding.

  69. The magic of God is absolutely around us constantly, it is a simple choice to be aware and appreciate this truth with a sense of wonderment. No matter what our age or experiences the magic doesn’t change only our choice to allow ourselves a moment to see it, feel it, and connect with the wisdom it offers.

  70. I am amazed and delighted at how much magic there is all round us and within us too. This is a lovely story of the connections that we often don’t bother to recognise or salute and yet they are there if we are willing to open to a grander scheme of things than we might at first have considered.

  71. The daily messages that are all around us, all of the time if we choose to see them, enrich and support us beyond our imaginings.

  72. Magic or particularly the Magic of God is all around me all I have to do is be open and willing to feel what is happening around me. As a Student of The Livingness my appreciation of the awareness that is always there is still a part of my learning curve!

  73. There is no denying that life is more extraordinary than you could ever imagine when you allow yourself to connect to the magic of God that embraces us in every moment and supports us in our journey back to where we are from.

  74. I got a beautiful sense of all the different dimensions of life that are communicating and available to us with your story Gabriele – there is much more to life than just meets the eye!

  75. When being absorbed with oneself it is easy to dismiss the messages that may be given 24/7. It may be that we are not as alone as we sometimes think. Today I will give it another go and a greater openness to recognise, read and understand the messages all around me.

  76. It sounds fascinating that God is communicating with us through magic, symbolism, nature, occurrences etc, but I can not say that I would always understand it and this is probably the reality for many until our awareness changes. Does that question the fact of the magic of God at play or wouldn´t it be wise to ask why I am not able or willing or aware to reading these messages? It might be a good start to allow space for the possibility of divine communication, accepting that we need to re-learn understanding this language, being open to exploring it and like with learning every other language to be patient and persistent in our progress. To deny anything just because we don´t have an instant and complete understanding of it would be very ignorant and arrogant; on the other hand, it is not about believing anything or being superstitious but honestly seeking a personal experience so that we can come to our own truth.

  77. To understand and accept everything in life being meaningful and nothing just random is huge, not only because of the enormity such universal order and plan present but also the responsibility it involves from everyone personally. We are inter-connected and everything we think, feel or do means something not only to ourselves but everyone and everything around us. In other words, we and everything is constantly communicating – the more we listen the more everything makes sense and we discover the order and loving logic and purpose behind it all.

  78. We are held in God´s love, it is the oneness we are part of. Knowing this is the personal aspect of such religious life – the relationship WE have with God depending on our awareness and will-ingness. God´s relationship with us is always absolute.

  79. When I read this blog the feeling I was left with was Grace. There is such a grace in what you describe here Gabriele, the way everything constellates around us and for us, if we choose to see it.

  80. Yes so beautifully expressed Gabriele, we need no special buildings to be in touch and commune with God for God is within and all around us.”Being held within the All, which is God, where could you possibly go or be where God is not?”

  81. I love magic of God stories, thanks Gabriele. There is a whole other language going on every moment that can be easily missed when we get caught up in life rather than be open to see and feel it all.

  82. To be observant and connect with the messages of the Divine makes life the magic it is. When dis-connected and live in our own little bubble, life passes us by and we miss so much of its beauty.

  83. Love this Gabriele – it has re-inspired me to be aware of all things around me and that nothing is by accident and that everthing is perfectly constellates to offer us evolution and expansion if we are willing to receive the messages.

  84. Great reminder Gabriele that God is always with us, supporting us, loving us, preparing us for what is next. We just need to do our part, which is to read the messages that we are constantly being given.

  85. Beautiful blog Gabriele, I got an absolute blessing reading it. I could feel how your livingness is so strong of The Way of the Livingness and the ease at which you connect with the magic of god and your respect and immense love of people stands out. Thank you

  87. The magic of God is simply amazing when we allow ourselves to see (read), connect and appreciate it. There’s been times when I have been blown away by the magic of God but never knew this was what I was experiencing until I was introduced to The Way of The Livingness. Now, I am learning to be more open, more aware and more connected to God, so I can feel the magic of God in every moment.

  88. Thank you Gabriele, your blog was a joy to read, in the magic moments we are forever receiving, a reminder that we are held in love by God, every moment of every day even if we are not aware of it.

  89. Ahh yes Gabriele, I too love those moments where things happen and as I look back over the day/days, I can see how there is a pattern and that one thing was preparing me for the next and so on. There is such a beautiful synchrony to life when we allow room for God. Thank you for your sharing.

  90. Yes, I agree Annelies – how grand it all is! Sometimes I am caught up in taking things very seriously but then God can mischievously and playfully poke fun at me and help me to see the lighter side of my situation.

  91. Great sharing, Gabriele and a reminder that God is always with us and he leaves little packages for us everywhere if we choose to look.

    1. The symbolism and the packages are ever present, you are quite right. We just need to live in a way that allows us to be receptive to and appreciative of the fact.

  92. Life becomes more joyful and playful when we remain open to the Magic of God that is at play in our lives constantly. I was walking yesterday afternoon with my daughter and we saw 2 wallabies and then the most magical sunset, and then when I was putting her to bed the full moon was shining brightly through her window – she told me it had a message for her, she is only 7 – this bought a smile to my face. I love the fact that there is so much Magic of God to enjoy and warm our hearts with daily.

  93. Just when we thought We forgot about God, or that he doesn’t exist – BOOM – there he is, good on you big Guy!

  94. This is absolutely lovely and a delight to read! now we can make sense of all those amazing things that happen during our day, that seemingly may have no connection but they always do – The Magic of God!

  95. The magic of God is all around us and in my experience is not usually found in a church. I love how God shows himself (or herself) in nature -one of his beautiful playgrounds!

  97. It makes your heart sing when yet another magical symbol comes our way.
    Thank you Gabriele loved this sharing.

  99. Thanks Gabriele, A beautiful example of seeing God in all aspects of life and the interconnectedness of everything. You presented this as a light and playful way, which made it a joy to read.

  100. It was beautiful to re-visit this blog as I am recently learning to develop more awareness and appreciation for the magic of God. I am learning that the more I take a moment to appreciate and read small incidents in life, the more gets revealed and I feel held in warmth in confirmation. I am really enjoying this at the moment.

  102. This is a beautiful reminder Gabriele of the Magic of God that exists around us at all times. Great point you raised that we don’t need a special building to experience a connection with God. I know this to be true as I spent many years attending Church where I never felt the presence of God or connection to God, until I discovered The Way of the Livingness – a true Religion that has changed my life in many beautiful ways.

    1. Yes, I agree – what I used to feel in many church buildings is the fear of ‘not making it’, of ‘doing the right thing’ lest one end up in hell and a general self-glorification of the clergy as somehow more special and closer to God. The Way of the Livingness is none of the above and it is glorious and utterly self-directed, a breath of fresh air after centuries.

  103. So beautiful to read Gabriele, the magic of God at play, it is all around us, we are surrounded and up held by love every moment, I too am inspired to be open to these magic moments.

  104. Beautiful Gabriele and the magic is that you made the connection and were aware that this was a playful message from God and your body knew that you were about to reconnect to people you loved from earlier days.

  106. That is very beautiful, the magic of god is preparing us and showing that what we need to be communicated in the moment. It is always there continuously so.

  108. Beautiful and awesome Gabriele. ‘who needs a special consecrated building to commune with God?’ who indeed… Great point. God is everywhere and can be found in everything. How homes can be our special building.

  109. It’s amazing how God works and how he prepares us for moments in our life so they are not so pointy, or difficult. When I look back I have had many of these moments.

  110. I was just reflecting on that today, on the fact that nothing is asked of us and that, by the virtue of free-will, we can do ‘as we like’ – and still be held in God’s sphere because it holds all.

  111. ” … regardless of our choice to either align to, or live in active opposition to this constellation.”
    It’s wonderful that whether or not we are consciously aware or or choose to see and feel God, He is still holding us and always there and simply waits for us to realise Him and return to ourselves in our own time … this is truly humbling and magnificent. at the same time.

  112. I loved reading your sharing here, loved the rhythm in your written words as they contain all the unfolding magic you are talking about. To be in the love of god means to me to experience and deeply enjoy everything that life is presenting me, feeling me, surrendering to the moment and be trusting and open for what will happen next, trust to be a part of it. I love this way of being aware and being with god, nowadays I know it is a choice I can take. And this is good to know also for the times, when I obviously don’t choose it. Thank you Gabriele and much love from Germany.

  113. Gabriele your story is beauty-filled, and makes my heart warm. Our world is enriched when we have the eyes to appreciate the connected-ness of us all.

    1. It certainly makes a huge difference to have our eyes wide open and enjoy what is on offer, every moment of every day; it is also a very joyful way to live and a vast difference to the usual conundrum and mundaneness that is experienced by most and that I used to think was the best life had to offer.

  114. It is very humbling and deeply beautiful to know that this exquisite magic is around us all the time supporting and guiding anyone willing and open to receiving the messages within.

  115. I love this Gabriele and I thank you for sharing it. We are indeed held by God and if we allow this and embrace it there starts to be a flow to life that makes nothing unexpected or takes you off your feet so easily. It is magic, the magic of God, something so natural to us all.

  116. “We are always held by God”; thank you Gabriele for the very beautiful reminder to feel and live the power of always being held by God.

  117. It is amazing how these little signs are present in every moment – the other day a bumblebee was on my front door, very still. Normally the bees in my garden are always very busy on the lavender and other flowers and I wondered if this one was sick, the behaviour was so unusual. It was only an hour later, when it had gone, that I realised it was a symbol for me and it felt like a significant one because of where it was. I still haven’t fully got what it meant, but I know my body felt it. I’m always busy and perhaps it was reminding me to be still sometimes.

    1. It is so easy to forget to take a moment and reconnect when we have been caught up in the busy-ness of the day, and what better opportunity than to be reminded by a magnificent bumblebee cooperating so beautifully and signalling the message.

  119. Such beautiful moments confirm that God is with us in all that we do. Thanks Gabrielle.

  120. Its a lovely story Gabrielle, of how the little things are all connected. I love any reminder of the absolute fact that God is all around us, communicating all the time if we are but open to seeing, feeling and hearing his delicate touch amidst the busy lives we lead.

    1. There really is a lot to notice and observe when we don’t get caught up in the busy-ness of life or let ourselves be distracted from the much bigger picture we are all a part of.

  121. ” … or a fly nearly bumping into you … ”
    I love this description … a fly, bumping into you … it makes me giggle … I guess flies have traffic accidents too 🙂

  122. A gorgeous sharing Gabrielle. God is everywhere no matter what the circumstance or experience, in nature or just everyday occurence as we go about our business, if we are in the moment we will experience God.

  123. When I read this blog Gabriele, I can feel that lovely ebb and flow of the love that we are held in, especially clearly.

  124. What a beautiful post Gabriele, the magic of God IS everywhere, and in everyone too bringing their own personal message for us to note. We are all each other’s messengers of God.

  125. I had a great magic of God reflection today, I saw a group of people running up a hill and back down it for no particular reason other than to make their exercise routine more difficult, in that moment I felt that I had been trying a little too hard and not allowing life to be the simplicity that it can be.

  126. I don’t always know what the messages are at the time, but something big will happen and then when I trace back I realise that I was getting messages about this exact thing. So if something seems to be standing out a lot for me, I make notes and when the big thing happens, I say “ah, I knew that was going to happen”.

  127. Beautiful, the magic of God is at play no matter whether we are aware of it or not. Gabriele you have reminded me again that God is with us all, within us all and is constantly communicating, it is just up to us to tune in to the message.

  128. A beautiful story Gabriele and a confirmation of the magic of god in all our lives,
    When I allow myself to feel the magic of god, I feel again the innocence and wonder about life I felt as a child.

  129. Yes, this magic of God is huge and there are so many beautiful reminders.

  130. There is so much beauty and joy in symbolism it is hard to contain yourself from feeling the absolute omnipresence of God’s divine plan. It’s like a massive explosion that expands in every cell of your body confirming you are in it and of it and most definitely not separate from the all. We are indeed a part of everything and these moments serve as a loving reminder worth celebrating in full. So gorgeous to read Gabrielle!

    1. I remember one of the things Serge Benhayon presented during one of his workshops, and it really stayed with me. How incredible is it that this Universe is designed to give each of us the right nudges / reflections all the time – equally and at the same time? Its mind boggling (so I will leave the mind out of it), and yet at the same time very natural – perfectly set up to give us another opportunity to notice or to learn.. for each of us.. all of the time.

  131. Beautiful to read how you have interpreted your messages from God Gabriele. It is like being allowed to listen in on your private conversation. Thank you.

  132. The Way of the Livingness is not only our natural way of living but our birthright.

  133. This is beautiful Gabriele. I’m finding this so often happens these days. If I think of someone, or something reminds me of them, even though I haven’t thought of them for years, they will ring or I will hear something about them. We are held and well prepared for what comes. It feels exquisite and beautiful. The magic of God is a blessing for all.

  134. There is such a beauty of precision and timing with the Magic of God that when we are in this flow and a part of the whole, we too have this beauty and precision that comes from being naturally who we are in essence.

  137. Beautiful Gabriele, I too feel the magic of God around all the time.

  138. I was wondering where you were going with the Beetle story and how that was connected to God. Then I read the rest of the story and I went aah, of course, and I also re-connected to the fact that we cannot be un-connected to God as he holds us at all times. Thank you for the reminder that God is with us and sending us messages all the time. It is then up to us to be open to the magic of them, and him.

  139. I love this Gabrielle,
    I am constantly delighted and smile or laugh at the intricate, playful and beautifully orchestrated magic that God communicates with me constantly. It is too perfect and too grand to dismiss.

  140. Wow awesome Gabriele. I really love the connection you made with the old beetle and the past, super cool to read about. Thank you for sharing

  141. I loved the way you expressed Gabriele, I felt I was in the car travelling along with you. God’s love is with us constantly and it is so incredibly beautiful the many ways he shows his love and care.

  142. Wonderful piece, Gabriele, that connects us to the all-encompassing nature of God’s love. If we were to allow ourselves to feel the truth of it, the world would be a different place. Thank you for sharing this with us.

  144. The magic of God, Gabriele, is such a blessing and provides opportunities for greater self awareness.
    I love the little messages I receive
    Thank you again for your gentle and loving reminder about the magic of God, signs and symbols.

  145. So gorgeous to be aware of the divine constellations that are at play all around us, all of the time. Showing us that we are deeply loved and supported by a power much greater than creation and human existence. Beauty full.

  146. Such a lovely reminder that God is sending us symbols, signs and messages all the time. Thank you Gabriele!

  147. Opening ourselves to feel and see the magic of God is the key to experiencing it every day. Thank you Gabriele!

  149. What a beautiful account of the Magic of God at play – he does have a great sense of symbolism and humour and love – of course : ).

  150. Gabriele, symbolism is not something that I know much about, which feels like a shame. It feels like there is a rich wisdom that is being communicated through life. I look forward to the day when symbolism is something that we naturally incorporate into our lives as a support for our evolution.

  151. I love that you have been able to appreciate all the little offerings with that phone call.
    How often we miss the smallest things or dismiss them when we are being communicated too all of the time.

  152. Thank you Gabriele, I so enjoyed reading your blog. I love when I am aware of those magical moments when God is communicating.

  153. A great Story Gabriele, this shows how when we are aware everything is constellated to support us in every way possible.

  155. Thank you Gabriele. Love the question “Who needs a special consecrated building to commune with God?” We clearly don’t when God’s magic is all around us!

  156. I find that the more I pay attention to the symbolism around me the more I see. When I am preoccupied with the thoughts going around in my head, I rarely notice anything.

  158. God and his magic are all around us, as you say Gabriele, there is no need for special buildings. We can celebrate God were ever we go and when we are present the magic is there.

  159. I love how life, God, the universe communicate with me, those little but very clear messages I receive during my day, confirming my Divine Nature, me being part of the Whole. It simply makes me smile and thankful for my life.

  161. I love this story of the Beetle Gabriele. Indeed the magic of God is there at every turn and the more we become aware of those moments the more we see, and the more we see the greater becomes our awareness. In other words the more awareness we have of God’s magic the more magic we get to see.

    1. Yes absolutely, “The more awarness we have of gods magic, the more magic we get to see”.

  163. I love the symbolism Gabrielle, the magic of God in little things around us, for all time. Beauty-full.

  164. Yes, there are a lot – even the kookaburras having a laugh at exactly the right moment can be quite inspirational. Most people will dismiss this as a silly belief and in many cases they are right. Black cats crossing the road in front of you or you going under a ladder or opening an umbrella indoors etc may only mean something if you believe in it. What we are talking about here is simply to feel what is harmonious at any moment and surprisingly often something happens – totally unexpectedly – around us that very harmoniously and nicely feels like somebody very loving gives you a little nudge and you are completely free to accept, reject or ignore or misunderstand it.

  165. The magic of God is all around us, it is there all of the time being reflected to help us get back to our own divinity. Thanks Gabrielle, for such a lovely reminder.

  166. I can feel your deep connection in your writing with God, yourself and your extended family members, Gabriele. Beautiful to reread.

  167. The Magic of God is so amazing. It speaks so loudly and brightly but most of us are deaf and blind to it. I have been deaf and blind for so long and only now am I beginning to see and hear the wonders.

  168. I agree – even though a truthful list is a great help, used superficially and for information or knowledge only, it goes against the true connection of what we are being offered to connect to, thus defeating the purpose and robbing us of the depth we can go to.

  169. There a so a many constellations to confirm that we are ‘held by the love of God/The Universe or what ever we choose to describe that everything is connected ALL of the time. If everything is connected then what a responsibility we have to ensure that our action impacts in a healing and not in a harming way. Everything matters!

  170. Beautifully inspiring Gabriele, reminding me to pay attention! The magic of God is all around, all of the time, we can’t escape it. It’s simply a matter of whether we choose to listen and be aware. Looking forward to to taking this with me today. Thank you

  171. Gabriele thank you for sharing your experience of magic of God. It has reminded me to pay more attention in my own life.

  172. The thing I love about the magic of God is every experience offers a unique, tailored understanding for each individual. God is a taylor of very high standards with much imagination and creativeness, a true artist.

  173. The magic of God is there for us all, all of the time; how absolutely stunning is that!
    “The Way of the Livingness teaches that we are always held by God”
    I love these words Gabriele and I loved your connection story
    Thankyou for your beautiful expression and wisdom.

  174. This is Beautiful Gabriele, there is so much we can dismiss in our lives, as ‘random’ or ‘a one of’ or ‘just freaky’. But as you have so distinctly shared there is nothing random. We are loved immensely and constantly supported to develop and grow whether we realize it or not – it is always there.

  175. Thanks Gabrielle,

    We also have had the most profound magic of GOD moments where the symbolism that presents to you in an exact moment is so uncanny and perfect at the same time that you can’t help but laugh. Once, I said to my husband while we were walking “I feel like we are on their radar now” and a ute drove past at the exact moment with a large satellite dish on it, confirming my feeling.

    I also wonder how many of these moments I have missed because as soon as I am engaged and present with The magic of GOD, it is there.

  176. More, please! I could read about the magic of God all day as I love how nothing is ever separate, all connects even if we don’t make full sense of it at the time. I’ve found that the more I am being present with myself, the more fluid my rhythm is during the day and the greater my awareness is regarding the symbolic meanings of God’s magic. And as you say, these moments occur “regardless of our choice to either align to, or live in active opposition to this constellation.” So whether we are open to The Way of The Livingness or not, whether we understand it or not, it’s always and forever there.

  177. I love the descriptiveness of your blog Gabriele and the experience you described. I am reading your story at the start of my day so it is a lovely reminder for me to pay more attention to the world around me as I go about my day.

  179. Thank you for sharing this lovely story Gabriele. I can feel the wonderment at the way these symbols came to you on this day and the appreciation of the interconnectedness of all things.

  180. It is so beautiful to feel the seemingly endless magic that is all around us – we only have to choose to open up for it. The confirmation and support this magic can be is deeply touching, making oneself joyful and humble at the same time.

  181. My special consecrated building to commune with God is called my body and I am in it 24/7. Meaning the connection with god is always there and is available 24/7.

    1. Said with such wisdom and insight Madeline
      Keep feeling your body and the absolute beauty within.

  182. Beautiful example Gabriele of how the magic of God is presented to us (I love the design of the old Beetle you described so beautiful by the way). I feel that by living life this way in connection with the universe, makes our life even more precious and enormous. It gives me the feeling to be part of something big beyond my imagination while at the same time I am part of it and know it in full.

  184. I love the way life is like that. I love all the coincidences and connections. It brings the joy of life into focus and sings in my heart.

  185. Thank you Gabrielle your blog here reminds me of many circumstances in the past where similar things have happened and I wrote them off as coincidence. How lovely it is to feel that god is there all around and can send me a little message if I need it.

    2. I agree Bernard, we often right a lot off to coincidence – but in doing so are we missing out on seeing the amazing way life can play out.

    1. Jo it certainly shows us that we are prepared for everything if we let ourselves be aware of all the signs, all the magic that is around us. What I love about Gabrieles story is how the magic of God works through everything be it a tree, a leaf, an animal, a car or a train.

    2. This seems to be the key, as you have pointed out Jo, to take the time to feel, notice and observe the magic of God.
      Then appreciate and feel the joy!

  187. I love the way symbols cross my life in small, simple ways. It is such a joy to feel the amazingness of God in these moments.

  188. Yes, the magic and beholding light of god is all around us and it’s our choice to pay attention to it …or not.

  189. I love how you were able to pay attention and appreciate the details that came towards you. It feels so simple. How beautiful each and every one of us can have and develop a playful relationship with the magic of God.

  191. Thanks Gabrielle for a wonderful reminder that the magic of God is all around us all of the time, and its through the degree of connection we have to ourselves that we truly appreciate it.

  194. Dear Gabriele, a deep connection radiates from your words. And now when I look out of the window and see the forest, I’m living in, the space between things seems to be filled with something, that I’m normally not aware of. Something very warm in that everything floats and communicates. Thank you for this moment of intimacy.

  195. Gabriel thank you for your beautiful sharing, a reminder for me to be open and appreciate the Magic of God and the messages I am receiving always.

  197. What a beautiful blog Gabrielle, thank you.
    I too have had many experiences with the magic of God and the playfulness that it brings into our lives.
    Nature is full of reflections no matter where you look or for that matter even where you listen.

    1. Yes, agreed Nicole, the Magic of God is so play-full. In some of my most difficult times the reflections I have received have supported me to let go and shift out of whatever it was I was in. From being so frustrated over something and stubbornly refusing to let it go, only to have food randomly splash all over me to snap me back to my senses, to having a bird fly into a wall next to me to show me the ridiculousness of my stubbornness. I often wonder how long I would stay in that defiance if it was not for these loving reflections?

  198. This is beautiful Gabriele. I love how you say – The Way of the Livingness teaches that we are always held by God, no matter what affiliation or philosophy, what age or profession and regardless of our choice to either align to, or live in active opposition to this constellation. This is true religion – our relationship with God no matter who we are or where we are, and that we are constantly in that relationship with God in every aspect of our life, it is not only for special occasions or places. The magic of God is everywhere we only have to be open seeing and feeling it.

  199. So beautiful Gabriele. I too love the Magic of God that is always at play at every moment of our lives. It’s all about taking the time to be truly aware of what is going on around us so we are ready for the messages that we will receive, in the most magical ways.

  200. Yes Anna it is always there but I know I am so often asleep to it due to pushing and striving and doing! Crazy really when in the simplicity it is all there for us love and magic in one.

    1. It is crazy that we are ‘so often asleep’ and miss out on the wonderment that is all around us all of the time, if only we choose to remain aware.

  201. Thank you so much for your wunderbaren blog Gabriele – it was very touching to read and feel it. It reminds me how easy it is to feel that God is all around us in very second of our lives – if I choose and allow myself to feel this.

  202. Thank you Gabrielle, I feel so delighted when those messages happen and I love reading the stories on this blog. You have inspired me to take a moment before going to sleep to recall those magic happenings of the day so I can go to sleep knowing God is always present. Can anyone tell me what moths represent as my friend had one stuck in her ear?

    1. Yes, conscious presence is key here otherwise you miss all this communion with God.

  204. It is wonderful how once we are open to such magic, it is everywhere to be seen. But if we are closed, it is no where to be found… something that children understand very well.

      1. Well hey, we were all children once, so the magic must still all be there waiting for us to connect to again.

  205. It is funny how some days are to do with the past. I notice how themes occur thoughout a day, or several days or longer. Lovely to notice the magic of God in this way.

  207. What a beautiful reminder of how joy-full our path can be when we allow ourselves to see and feel the magic of God that is there in everything and in every moment.
    PS Gabriele. I too love the dack-dack-dack of an old air-cooled VW!

  208. What a lovely reminder to actually pay attention to what happens in our lives! We can be so busy that often we don’t even notice it. Yesterday while on my lunch break at work I was sitting running through a million things in my head. Then a butterfly came very close and flew past me and back. I then stopped and I then continued my lunch in the presence of me.

  209. That’s so true Gabriele, thank you. There is so much on offer to us all the time, if only we stop to notice. I feel I can be rather ‘busy’ in my life, so I know I don’t pick up on the ‘magic’ that is all around me a lot of the time. However, I had a beautiful experience after the last retreat. I was walking with my dog, around the streets where I live, reflecting on how much I love nature, just being outside and seeing all the flowers and trees and also how I so appreciate God always being there for me, despite the fact that I have been rather fickle in my connection with him. I looked up to the sky and there were two holes in the clouds, where the blue sky was shining through, looking like two eyes, God looking down on me. The very next second, one hole closed over, I felt God was winking at me! It was very special.

  210. That’s amazing and quite beautiful. I think if we are to be honest we all experience those special moments where nature plays with us and magical things can happen where you just say ”that was a miracle.” What a joy and thanks to the Way of the Livingness we are able to be more aware of these miracles and appreciate that it really is the Magic of God.

  211. Thankyou Gabriele this was a lovely reminder of how we make the choice to not take the time to connect with god and when we do the beauty and wisdom is there.

  212. This is a beautiful sharing Gabriele. I enjoyed it! And what a confirmation that the Magic of God is everywhere. I feel this and know this now because I appreciate the reflection of it and have chosen to be aware. However before, when I did not connect with the fact that God is inside me and expressed in reflection around me, it was very easy to categorise God to a church building. The way of the Livingness presents the truth that this is not contained – and really how can such a love and reflection be contained?

    1. We see what we want to see don’t we? It’s like we can wear glasses that make everything grey and bleak and if we take these off and put on really seeing glasses we can find the beauty and magic of God in the exact same place. I have seen this and done this myself so many times. It is what we choose to see and feel, it is all there to be seen and felt!

  213. I love hearing stories like yours Gabriele and I love participating in similar moments in my life too. Thank-you for a little bit of magic this morning.

  214. It is so true Gabriele, the magic of God is everywhere, there to remind us of where we come from. There certainly is no need for churches or fancy buildings to remind us of that.
