The Merlin through Paul Walsh-Roberts - 18 April 2000 - California, USA.
Greetings beloved ones, I am the Merlin and I come representing the Masters in Light, one voice of many. As we greet you, we come to acknowledge the very inner light which you are. We come to remind you — remind you that you are bearers of light, you are no longer the bearers of darkness. You are becoming once again the bearers of wisdom not the bearers of ignorance. And so is your planet going through a phase of great changement, just as are you beloved ones. This period of vast changement has an appointed time and that time has arrived.
You have been immersed in an understanding, or shall we say a misunderstanding of yourselves that has shed little light upon your greatness. It has shown but a spark of the great fire of your wisdom of your magnificence. And so you see only the diminished version of yourselves. Now, you have all studied this; you have studied it many times and it is now time to utilise your studies. You are beginning to remember. You have all practiced for this time; you have prepared. You are well capable; you are well experienced. It is just a matter now of recalling that, allowing it to form and reform within your minds and to filter into your world through your actions.
You have become embedded in a sense of ignorance and misunderstanding that has brought many difficult situations and circumstances to the existence on your planet at this time. It is because the humankind has become a species that has created its experiences from a mind that is in atrophy and disease. But you are now rising from that. This is the reclamation of your absoluteness, it is not the perpetuation of your limitedness. The Master that is residing within you is the light that shall shine on your path, but it requires that you recognise it, that you accept at least the idea of it.
The predicament of the humankind at this time that is based upon that mind in atrophy and disease cannot be pushed away and it cannot be changed, beloved ones. Indeed, that is not the purpose. Look upon all of the circumstances — as distasteful as some of them may be — as a manifestation of the thought forms and the beliefs that reside in the human mind. Therefore it is not a case of eradicating the circumstances beloved ones, it is a case of eradicating the consciousness from which those circumstances stem. That is what is taking place. As much as the humanity may attempt to modify or to eradicate the circumstances, it shall not be until the humanity has realised its misunderstandings that it shall become truly surpassed.
The humanity is now poised to step relatively easily into a superior existence by which you shall enable yourselves to discover your mastery, to reclaim your absolute sovereignty over each and every moment of your reality. You shall rediscover the joy, the ecstatic reunion with your core self, the self that is at one with each of you. And you shall realise that there is none that is greater nor lesser, but rather that there is greater or lesser understanding. You shall look back with humour; it is so. For you shall see the misunderstanding. As you allow the wisdoms to flood you, as you embrace them, accommodate them and adjust your understanding accordingly, step by step you shall make changes that shall be reflected in your world. Step by step you shall eradicate the consciousness as you realise that it is not yourself but a fragment of your greatness.
As you reclaim sovereignty, so shall you also reclaim the stewardship of your planet. You shall reclaim the skills and the understandings that shall bring you into partnership with your Earth that has become subordinated to the human principle. It requires equality. It requires respect else it cannot nourish the advancement of the human species. It is unable to provide the nourishment on any of the levels that the human existence requires. It is not until the partnership has been re-established that you shall see the beauty of your world and of yourselves. Until then it shall be struggle, disparity, painfulness and you, beloved ones, are the ones who are in readiness to embrace that equality, that harmony, that balance, that partnership; to treat yourselves and your Earth and each other with the respect that Divine Ones would naturally live by; the values and qualities of mastery that would give you a world that is a product of your love not of your denial, a product of your inner harmony not a product of your inner conflicts.
And so it is to be at peace. It is to release your inner conflicts. As you become at peace with your moments, so it is that you begin to find the jewels that are embedded in them, jewels that you yourselves have planted there. It is called dis-covery. As you uncover the gems, the jewels that are in each moment so shall they come to adorn your very own crown of divinity. It is your knowingness, your wisdom that becomes expressed, that becomes natural rather than the lack of that wisdom. It is a time of great changement. It is the appointed time.
We come to share with you for we are working with each and every one of you individually, directly. As soon as you come to realise that and to behave accordingly, the sooner it is that you shall elevate your world and yourselves beyond the constraints, beyond the bonds of limitations, of misunderstanding.
I am the Merlin representing the Masters in Light. Allow us to work with you. Relax. Be at peace. Accept light into your hearts and into your minds. Darkness cannot eradicate light; it is the absence of light. But as you accept and invoke this light, then so it is that you shall eradicate the darkness. That is the stem of all predicaments at your present time. It is the gesture of acceptance. It is the willingness. And we greet you to your tasks.
Greetings, beloved ones. Rest assured, your reality is not what you see it to be. Your selves are not what you see yourselves to be. You are wise beyond measure; you are light beyond measure. The time has come to open yourselves to that idea of yourselves and to watch it flourish. We come in service. We greet you.
