Magnifying Being in the Glory of God
This week’s rhythm of evolution: Being
From the sacred beckoning of spirit and through our divine becoming, we embrace and inhabit new and deepening ways of being.
Here and now, we offer and respond to invitations to inhabit our divine being in conscious and spacious ways.
We make space for being who we are becoming, who we truly are, who we are now.
We rest in abiding within our holy communion, our Christ union with all things.
And we open up to new and deepening habits, the in-habiting of new ways of being that authentically reflect the beauty, truth, and goodness of who we have become in our transformative work and in the grace of the mystical body of Christ.
We hold all of these rhythms of being in the field of belonging.
In support of our rhythms of evolution—Beckoning, Becoming, and Being—you are also invited to participate in a new gathering called WeEvolve, on Fridays at 10 am Central Time.
This week’s WeEvolve gathering will be a spacious, communal time of Being together.

If you haven’t yet engaged with the Beckoning & Becoming offerings, we encourage you to explore those first:
Movements of Being
From the beckoning of our invitation to worshipful spiritual creativity, we have opened to WeCreating arisings and through our dreams and inspirations onto the blank canvas, as acts of becoming, practicing our craft of WeCreativity among us.
Now, we are invited to the depth of simply being who we are in divine glory.
If this seems like a difficult invitation to accept, yes, it very certainly can be.
It is not always easy to live from the reality of the things we know to be true or have come to believe. Thankfully, our being is also found in communion, with one another, and in a shared invitation we can seek to inhabit more fully together this week.
In the fullness of our being, we live from who we truly are always, in the deepest reality of eternal divine truth—our being children of God, in the divine glory of our foundational and intrinsic wholeness in communion in God.
And, we live into the truth of who we are now in our existence as we live, move, and have our being in God more and more through the unfolding of our lives.
In being who we are now, we might find it helpful to engage in several essential movements of being:
1. Release
To be who we are now, from the work and grace of our divine becoming, we will often find that we need to release our former ways of being. These might be old beliefs that limit us from living into the full truth of our actual being. They might be habits and patterns that we continue to enact even though they are no longer reflective of who we are now, who we have become.
This is not the ongoing process of transformation and continual becoming, but rather is the simple letting go of ways of being that are no longer who we truly are now. We are released and freed to just be who we have become, who we truly are already, now.
2. Embrace
Unbound from the confines of old ways of being, we are now free to embrace the new ways of being that more truly reflect who we are now. These may be new recognitions and deep understandings that liberate us to live in who we actually are now, not who we used to be. This might simply be a movement of acceptance, seeing and receiving the beauty and goodness of who we have now become.
Again, this is not an extensive process or something we need to “practice” (though we may need to return to our embrace when it slips away from time to time). We are simply embracing the reality we have come into and can live from now in the unfolding truth of our being. Fundamentally, this embrace is a “yes” to the truth of our being as we have now become, as who we truly are now.
3. Inhabit
Once we have embraced our new ways of being, we then more deeply inhabit who we truly are in our divine/human being. This movement is subtle, for it is not an enaction so much as a settling into, a being established in the truth of our new ways of being. We in-habit new habits of being that grow out of the wholeness and fullness of who we truly are in God, in communion, in eternal life as we live it here and now.
Our movement of inhabiting does become more conscious and manifest over time, but once again it is not an act of becoming—for we already are that which we are inhabiting. Rather, we are simply re-sourcing ourselves, in various ways, into the depth of the who we truly are now and eternally.
Worshipful Movements of Being
So what might it look like to engage these movements in our worshipful being?
“As we come into worship as an expression from God-Being-Us, we step into a co-creative act, in divine participation, of making all things new. From this communion of our divine interbeing, the power and energy of emergence arises. It is the flow of divine vitality and creative power from the Source, from the depths of our being in God.”
To come into living this way of divine-self-expression, we may find three movements of being helpful: Release, Embrace, Inhabit.
Prepare yourself to enter these movements from a deep place within, from the core truth of your divine/human being.
If a statement in each movement resonates, pause and stay with it as long as you like, being with it as an expression of your truest being now.
Or, a statement might spark your own expression of movement, either with words or in other forms.
Perhaps these words don’t connect at all, and you might simply hold the inquiry for your own revealing.
Release
What ways of being are we being invited to release here and now?
We release our understated being, our false sense of smallness and powerlessness.
We release our sense of being unworthy, clinging to less-than who we truly are.
We release the confines of “self” as an understanding of our singular being apart from others and from the world.
We release self-effacing ways of worship that externalize power and denigrate who we truly are.
We release worship that does not reflect our divine participation in the glory of God.
Embrace
What ways of being are we being invited to embrace here and now?
We embrace our divine power to create.
We embrace our worthiness as divine human beings called to WeCreate.
We embrace the communion of the body of Christ, the communal being of our truest nature, interbeing with one another as a WE and with the world and ALL.
We embrace ways of worship that humbly accept the power bestowed upon us by God, the divine glory we magnify.
We embrace being partakers in the act of making all things new.
Inhabit
What ways of being are we being invited to inhabit further in our lives?
We inhabit worship as inflow. We worship God-Being-Us as our being in Christ.
We magnify God through our glorious being in God, which shines through.
We inhabit worship as interflow. We worship God-Being-All-of-Us with God-Beside-Us in and as the mystical body of Christ.
We magnify God through the strengthening and enlivening of communalizing in our being together.
We inhabit worship as outflow. We worship God-Being-Us-All into God-Beyond-Us, the divine mystery and eternal glory being made manifest in the here and now.
We magnify God through being the makers of a new heaven and a new earth.
We inhabit worship as we welcome with praise, gratitude, and love the authentic arisings of creativity from the depths of our soul in divine-human WeCreating.
We magnify our God-given divine power, embracing our being to display God’s splendor ever more!
From this experience, make space to reflect and process—perhaps journaling or praying in response.
You might set intentions or hone in on new habits of inhabiting the ways of being that are here for you now. Or you might simply receive with grace the deep truth of your being as you know it now, deep within.
Embodying Worshipful Being
“My soul magnifies the Lord.”
- Mary (Luke 1:46)
Following are some familiar and biblical postures of worship. It may be that you have engaged them in a traditional sense, worshipping the God out there.
As you explore these postures, we invite you to step into a gentle, unfolding flow. You may feel inspired to explore each one, or to remain with only one. This is an invitation to trust where you are. If you find yourself resting in the spaciousness of simply being, let that be enough. If you feel the movement toward embracing the divine within, let that be your dance. And if you sense that you are already inhabiting this reality, allow the power to magnify and intensify—within you, within Us.
Being in God,
being in Christ,
being in communion:
this living presence is already within you,
unfolding in its own rhythm.
As we dwell in that reality,
we are filled with its living power,
its relational rhythm,
and the shared flow of divine life
moving through us all.
