The Merlin through Paul Walsh-Roberts - 2 June 2000 - London, England.
You are now realising within self that there are many degrees of separation and that you are now choosing to flow through these degrees of separation and to return to that which is Unified Self. Understand, beloved ones, that it is a process. When we use the sound, the word process, we invoke the frequency that is as your concept of cycle. We are not invoking limitation, beloved ones. You are not required to do a set process, are not required to do things like another. Your process, each and every one of you, is individual and unique, and this is the celebration of the Collective One, for each of you holds an aspect and are indeed upon your return of the unified. And you are consciously choosing, Beloved Ones, you are choosing the path of your process, shall we say.
There may be similarities, but understand more and more that you are not required to follow another. You are not required to follow a set pattern, a set flow, a set system, for as the new light, beloved ones, the new consciousness enters your field, each of you in your own perfect, unique nature, will respond to this new light differently. You may also react to it, and that is perfect. We encourage response, beloved ones, and we will now specify the difference…. Response, beloved ones, comes from the observation of self; it’s very simple. It is indeed to observe how one responds to any situation, any sensation, any changement. And when one is in response, one is within one’s heart centre. One is invoking divinity, one is saying, “I have choice.” You may have many choices, beloved ones, but it is indeed to acknowledge in your heart that you always have choice. It is not to criticise yourself or others, it is simply to peruse, to observe your choices, in the moment that your ego, your separate aspect, that aspect that which is to perpetuate your limitation, it is to respond in that moment when your ego would react, beloved ones. Reaction is indeed invoking that which is limitation. Reaction comes from the desire to maintain ignorance. It is the choice to act upon fear, not love; to act upon separation and to choose to continue the separateness, the limitation.
Therefore, beloved ones, in simple terms, you are indeed beginning the reclamation of your mastery. You are beginning to see yourselves, to feel yourselves differently and this is grand changement, mark our words. Therefore, it is to celebrate this changement with the gift of choice and to give yourself choice, for you have many choices before you. Respond to those choices, beloved ones, do not react. If your choice appears to be extreme, appears to be unfamiliar, then centre yourselves and simply go within your hearts and ask yourselves, beloved ones, ask yourselves, indeed.
Understand that we have had this conversation before. This is not new to you, beloved ones. And each time you invoke that which is choice, your are helping yourself change your mind. You are helping yourself invoke more of that which is your unlimited nature, and you are helping yourself gently love and soothe that which has been limitation, that which has been hurt, beloved ones, that which has been fear. And you are changing your minds, and as you do so you may place light within the deepest, darkest corners of yourself.
Beloved ones, it is not that the light vanquishes the dark, it is not a situation of conflict. Understand that darkness is only the lack of light, it is the absence of light, that is all. Therefore, do not think of it in terms of a conflict, beloved ones, simply see it as a situation of radiance, and it is your own radiance, and you are extending your radiance and your orbit of self. And you are expanding what you believe yourselves to be. It may sound simple, beloved ones, but in truth, it is. The darkness cannot exist where lightness is. That is how the darkness comes to an end, beloved ones, through the invocation of choice. And that is how you invoke the new light within your realm: you choose it. It is as simple as that.
And yes, beloved ones, there will be times when indeed you would rather sit in the darkness, you would rather cradle your ignorance and say, “Yes, that is tangible to me. I know what the limitation is.” That feels comfortable, that feels familiar. When you go within your hearts, beloved ones, you will know with the response that is choice whether you are supporting that which is the expansion of yourself, that which is your expansion of radiance, or whether you are supporting the ceiling of limitation. Understand in truth, it is gone, but many of the humanity, many souls expressed within this realm, within this physical world, like fleas in a can still jump only to the level of the top of the can, even when the lid is removed. But beloved ones, when you are with the tool that is choice, you will acknowledge through your responses not your reactions, that “I acknowledge the lid is removed. My limitations are dissolved. It is purely a function of my perfection. I believe it, therefore it is.” It is that simple, beloved ones. Therefore, understand, the lid is removed. It is so.
However, we are not suggesting, beloved ones, that you expand at a rate which is uncomfortable for you, which causes distress or trauma within yourselves. There is no pushing to be done. However, it is to allow yourselves to expand, to be open hearted, to be open minded, beloved ones, to say, “Yes, I am ignorant and I celebrate this, for I recognize it and I choose to expand my ignorance by acknowledging it,” and to say, ”I do not fear learning.” And thus the ignorance is transformed; and as the door of ignorance closes, the door of knowledge opens. And as you apply that knowledge, beloved ones, you distil that which is wisdom and that which is grand service to you.
And if you have question at this time, we would invite that which is the choice for knowledge. You are not ignorant, beloved ones, it is just that your wisdom is very deep, shall we say. Therefore it takes a few grand steps forward and a little bit of digging. You are well capable , mark our words, you are well capable.
I am the Merlin and I represent that which is the realm of the ascended masters, and also the energy that is the Lord Maitreya. We are unified voice, beloved ones. You do not require a label. Simply understand, we come in unconditional service, and we encourage you, beloved ones, to indeed surround yourself with yourselves; to choose to be at peace with yourselves, and to choose to be at peace with your individual process; not to compare nor to justify your actions, but simply to say, “It feels appropriate, it feels perfect for me.”
We are in your hearts, beloved ones, mark our words. In truth, we never left. However, you can hear yourselves and us a little louder these days. We are reaching saturation at this time. We ask, beloved ones, that indeed, if you request that which is change of guidance, that which is progress, that which is expansion at this time, that indeed you may request this expansion, you may request the frequency which is perfect, which comes from the service of unconditional love, and you may request that your new guidance comes to your side. And yes, it is done. It may surprise you, beloved ones, that there are many who in your realm would be, shall we say, falling over themselves to help you, but they are not physical, beloved ones. However that does not diminish the significance of their contribution, mark our words.
I am the Merlin, representing the ascended masters and that which is the Lord Maitreya. We are unified. We thank you beloved ones. Thank yourselves. We have chosen to be together. What a celebration — your radiance; look to your radiance! Feel your radiance. It may be much greater than you know at this time. It does not diminish its significance nor does it diminish, the fact that you cannot see your progress. It is so. We thank you.
