The Merlin through Paul Walsh-Roberts - 8 January 2003 - Havelock North, New Zealand.
Indeed, and greetings, beloved ones. I am the Merlin and I come to you representing the Masters in Light, and we greet you representing the Masters in Embodiment. Emerging masters, indeed. That you do not see it of yourselves nor fully understand it of yourselves does not alter the truth of it, beloved masters, only your experience of it.
Indeed, and as we come to you, we come to you seeing you as family, for we have a common goal. The goal is indeed the emergence. You have all prepared for this and you are all absolutely capable of all that lies ahead. At this time it is more a case of how much you are prepared to resist or to hesitate. You see, in truth, beloved masters, you are creating nothing but your path forward. Understand that as you step forward in these times of great changement so it is that there is nothing beneath your feet until your foot touches. That is how you are creating — instantaneously. It is an aspect of your love, and when indeed you are all in Love you will be in the belief system of self creation
But you know, you cannot create your potency; you cannot create love. You can only open yourselves to realize that they have already existed eternally. It is a battle you are having with yourselves — whether or not you are prepared to be potent; whether you are prepared to be knowledgeable. For when you become wise, beloved masters, you shall see that what you have treated as wisdom is but a faint facsimile of the truth. But there is so much to discard in order to embrace what is actuality. It is a massive transformation and you have all chosen to take it.
The greatest single step, if you wish, that you may take at this time, is to appreciate your moments, each of your experiences; not to value one any more greatly than you would another, for they are all sacred. They are sacred in that they hold learning. They are enabled to provide you this learning by the simple fact that the experiences are the steps that you had created for yourselves. You have created them. What lies within them are the gems that shall light your way. The true value of each of your moments.
As you move forward you will not falter though it may feel from time to time as if you are faltering. But you are part of a greater knowing. How you see yourselves does not, shall we say, do justice to the truth of who you are.
We come to you to assist you in integrating and understanding knowledge of that expanded self. You have hidden from yourselves for a vast period of time so that it has become an obsession; at least a habit. But you will see as you grasp each aspect of your greater self and begin to wield its enormity, you shall indeed see the truth, step by step, unfolding, demonstrating itself to you in each of your moments. And so beloved masters, it is the power of wisdom. It is the wisdom. It is the power of love, and it is the love which enables you all to exist. Indeed, it enables you to exist in a state of seeming powerlessness. As you shed your habits of believing, so it is that you shall come face to face with aspects of yourself that may seem quite daunting for you, but nonetheless they are the way forward. They are the shedding of fear; they are the shedding of ignorance.
If you imagine that you were to recreate your entire world as you see it, your reality, each and every component, then it is a vast task which lies ahead. Though it may be painstakingly slow in the first instance, you shall see that it will accelerate, and your ability to manifest greater and broader steps using your powers of wisdom and love shall increase. The perspective shall increase, broaden. You will come to know that you are responsible for each of your moments, irrespective of how it may seem to you. You are responsible in that you have been a part of its creation and for good purpose. As soon as you begin to grasp, in whatever way you may, that responsibility then so it is that you will see that you are not the victims but the architects of these changes. For that, beloved masters, is a foundation truth.
You have all passed through the mystery schools, the mastery schools, but your now is the true school. It is no longer a practice, beloved masters, it is what you might call the real thing; more real than your lives have ever been.
We come to assist you in coming to know these aspects of yourself, the greater self, so that you will begin to live them, so that you will begin to fully understand and appreciate and indeed be your Higher Self, your god self, whilst upon your planet.
You see, the basic thrust of the source is simply to discover more, to learn more of self. In that sense you are the hands and feet of The Divine. So why would you think any less of yourselves? Your hand is the hand of The Divine. And so ask yourself, what is it that The Divine would do with that hand? And begin to entrain yourself to such actions. It is simple, though we understand it may not be easy in the first instance, it such a change; an alteration of your priorities; a different dynamic of living. But your living has been so static, beloved masters, that you might find it altogether enthralling. As we have said, it is a matter of when you undertake this, not a matter of whether you undertake it.
Many of you have sat together; you have the memories deep within yourselves of the preparation for these change times. The knowledge that this shall emit from the depths of your very self for you to grasp and utilize, is already there. You already have the knowledge. You have already practised. Preparedness, hmmm? There is no question in it other than when. But do not underestimate yourselves; though you may overlook a breath or a moment, it is no less significant than the next or the previous. All that you require you may achieve, discern, learn, fully realize in any one of your moments. You have manifested a stream of moments for yourself as a perpetual opportunity that is called life. When you appreciate it as such and recognize that even those experiences that you frown upon are all there to serve your coming to Light, then you will have come into Truth.
You see, beloved masters, it is not a matter of being enlightened; that is not what is called for. It is about becoming enlightened. It is the becoming. That is why it is vital to appreciate your steps. Do not overlook the steps in order to embrace the destination. If it requires that you discard a step or moment in order for you to reach your apparent destination, then you may safely assume that the destination is amiss. Appreciate your creations; it is the power of Love and Wisdom that reside within you, the power that is becoming more known to you, that is the basic causality of these moments that you have called life; all ttogether, one after the other after the other after the other. Each is another opportunity to go further within yourself and understand; to see your divinity, to see your godliness, your potency, your greatness.
We do not come to reinforce your self-perception, but rather, beloved masters, we come to assist you in building a self-image that is fundamentally more accurate. You see, your personal growth is one and the same as your spiritual growth. All spiritual growth in your density, in your world, passes first through the restrictions and dogma of the structure. It passes from that to a void, an empty chalice, an agnosticism or atheism as you might call it. It then proceeds step by step into an accurate knowledge of God. There is no better or worse position upon that path, but mark my words, beloved masters: the view you have from whatever position you occupy is vital. View yourselves as divinity, as godliness, and begin to act accordingly, for then you have nothing but the accurate perception of yourselves. You command a miraculously limited perception at this time, and the transition from one self-image to the other takes more than a step or two. But the steps are your moments. It is called life. It is not something to avoid, beloved masters, but something to embrace with all of your heart. Assume that you are infinite, assume that you are potent… and act accordingly. Assume that you are master, beloved masters, and act accordingly. It is the appointed time.
Very well. Though it may not appear so, we come to you with great love; with joy, in fact. Though you may perceive a vibrational difference, it is once again a matter of perception. We come to hold you and to work with your hearts, to assist you in enabling your magnificence to broadcast into your world through the being that you see yourself to be. And so we greet you.
I am the Merlin representing the Masters in Light, and we greet you representing the masters in embodiment, and we welcome you to your tasks; to each of your magical creations. Embrace. Very well.
