Merlin on Grave Difficulties
Thank you, Libra88, for sending me this article. Light and Love, Marlene
Merlin on Grave Difficulties
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Miriandra: I have been receiving numerous emails
from people who are having a difficult time and
are doing their best to remain within an expanded
consciousness. I am asking for any information
that will be of assistance to them at this time.
Thank you.
Merlin: I am always available to assist in these matters.
Be it known that there is a gigantic shift
going on, even as I speak these words. (December
8, 2007) And the shift has to do with the balance
of power and the awakening consciousness, each
residing within its own cause and effect, its own
ripple through the illusion, and further, residing
within the bodies of each being.
And when there are those who determine that
they will maintain an expanded manner of dealing
with the rebalancing of everything, they are actually
determining that they will be in charge of the
emotional body, which is doing what it has been
trained to do… and that is, to emote, to send a
warning through the entire system. It is the consciousness
that has been determining that there is
no emergency while focusing on the oneness of
all; yet the emotional body has sensors which tell
it that there is, indeed, an emergency going on.
So let’s take a look at all of that. Let’s examine
what is really going on. Why? Because, my dear
ones, you are not here to close your eyes and pretend
that everything is peachy; you are here to recognize
what is occurring and then determine how
you will experience your own divinity within such
occurrences. After all, you cannot deny that there
is a major shift going on; you cannot say that such
difficulties in your own lives are not occurring.
More so, the more that you cause yourselves to
pretend that everything is all right, the more your
system will tap you on the shoulder and say,
“Wake up!”
And you might be saying, Merlin, I thought I was
supposed to focus on the expanded truth and
reside within it and that residing would cause the
physical to manifest according to the truth.
And my answer is that you have learned part of
the truth quite well… in your mind. But it is your
experience incarnate that will deliver to you the
core of the entire truth and not just part of it. Yet I
am not saying you are going about it all wrong; I
am saying that there is more to it. Much more to
it. So then let’s continue with this little discussion
and see where it leads us… and you, hopefully
toward the relief that you are seeking.
Within the shifting powers and determined control
upon the earth, there are those who are feeling
the beginning of the lessening of their control.
And their closer examination of such seeming lessening
is confirming to them that something is happening…
something that they are not very pleased
about. And what is that? They are losing their control,
of course. Now I could get into the why of all
of that, but I believe the focus of this conversation
is elsewhere. I will suffice it to say that the shifting
in the balance of power, the lessening of the
extreme control is most natural; after all, the
waves of anything – power, for example – are all
part of the pulse beat, which takes form and
releases form. There has been – for those who are
in outrageous power – the great pleasure of
increased power; and now there is the releasing of
form, and consequently the releasing of the power
which has increased and been modeled according
to their designs.
They sense this, of course. They have been masters
of control of such energies which dictate the
cause and effect of the lives of so many; and now
they are feeling the lessening of such control.
What does that do? An alarm is activated within
their consciousness, within their system, within
their enjoyment of what had been building,
increasing. And the alarm causes them to spring to
action; such action being to create more ways to
be in control. However, I am here to say that the
ways are not now, nor will they be filled with the
power they are accustomed to using. The ways
will be as an empty vessel. Why? Because, my
dears, it is the time – so to speak – of the releasing
of such form.
And how does this affect you? Ah! Here we have
the topic upon which I am delighted to speak.
Your entire system is quite adept at sensing within
the cause and effect, those ripples which would
bring to you what you have been interpreting as
“grave difficulties”. And you might be jumping
right in here and saying, Merlin, I’m not imagining
or interpreting grave difficulties; I am experiencing
them! Of course you are, of course you are.
But listen further and perhaps you will find some
relief.
The reason that you are interpreting such causes
and effects as grave difficulties is because you have
a destination in mind and it appears to you and to
your entire glorious wonderful system that you
will not be able to reach that destination. And I
am here to remind you that you are within and
creating the fabric of a journey, your journey. Oh
I’m not blaming you or faulting your for slipping
into the old illusion of “destination and once
there everything will be all right”. It’s quite enticing,
isn’t it? Enticing to believe that there is a
place, a scenario wherein you might catch your
breath and not have to effort or worry about anything…
any more. Of course it is!
And you are partially correct about such a manner
of being; where you are amiss is the believing or
interpreting such a way as a destination… a destination
to reach, to effort toward arriving there
some day, some how.
Now your entire system is aching for a method, a
way to reach that destination, a way to bring that
“one day” into the present moment so that everything
will be all right. And I’m here to tell you that
you have already accomplished that manner of
being; you have simply forgotten about it…
because the world has enticed you back into the
illusion and it is there that you have found grave
difficulties… because the balance of power is shifting!
The answer resides in several awarenesses, the
first being that you are the destination. You are
that for which you have always searched. You have
already journeyed far and away from your own
self, only to return and discover that you are the
fulfillment, the wholeness. You can prove this to
yourself simply by focusing within, focusing on
your own spirit, your own knowing, your own
peace, your own glorious self. And when you do
this, there seems to be a setting aside of the difficulties
and their effect upon the manner through
which you experience as your wholeness. You
have already experience several of what you call
spiritual awakenings, and within such experiences
you have discovered also that there is, as I’ve been
saying, no destination, that there is the journey,
the glorious journey.
Then that is the first awareness that will begin
your relief from what you’ve been calling grave
difficulties. The awareness that you are already
awake and that you have already experienced
many delightful awakenings, AND that you are the
journey and the determiner of the way you will
experience the journey. The first awareness. Yes.
The second awareness is that you then, within that
conscious knowing, have the ability and capability
of parting the seas of illusion, the illusion that had
been so enticing, the illusion that had been created
by those in power of the cause and effect upon
earth. Ah! Yes, my dears, the cause and effect have
been most real; I for one would not deny that. Yet
the energies that come together, beckoning you to
participate in delivering your own sweet energies
into the whole of illusionary creating, are not
whole, are not of you. Remember I have stated
long ago that anything that is created without the
spark of creation, without the divine essence, is
illusion?
That remains true even now. It does not mean that
what has been created without such spark or
divine essence has not taken form; it does mean
that such creations can be parted, as the seas have
often been parted for those who can see and
those who can hear and know the ways of the
journey. Those ones are you.
The third awareness is the how of it all, the how
of parting such illusion, the parting of the seas of
illusion. Ah! You are most capable and you might
find it pleasurable to know that you have been
doing this all along, within the pulse beat of your
awakening. It is now, however, that you are asking
of yourself to be fully awake, to be fully incarnate,
and further, to be fully determining your own
journey. And it is, of course, your own journey
that you are choosing to reside within – and not
the journey that has been created devoid of the
life force, that is, the journey through illusion!
Now you might think that this would be complicated
and perhaps there are those who are still
stumbling upon what I’ve spoken thus far. To you
I say keep stumbling along and soon you will be
walking with ease. What you are stumbling over is
your concepts; you are trying to fit what I am saying
into the concepts that have carried you thus
far through your journey, and some of those concepts
are asking, begging to be released. And
that’s all right. When they no longer serve you,
you will let them go; you are much too practical to
hold on to something that causes you confusion.
And when I tell you the how of it, you’ll be quite
surprised, I am sure, at how easy it is.
Perhaps it will be so easy that you will think that it
doesn’t work; and there I will have to, I must then
laugh loudly… oh, not at you, but at the concept
that tells you that you must try very hard… you
are magicians! You are magicians! Oh you might
call yourselves divinely incarnate God I am; to me
it is the same. You do not have to try hard; that is
all part of the illusion. What you must do is step
into the way that is of you, the way you have
always been meant to journey within… and
remain there!
Then journey forth in this manner. Firstly, separate
yourself, either physically or mentally or both,
from the grave difficulty. When you do this, it is as
if you are shaking the dust off of your clothes, off
of your feet. That’s all that you are doing. Perhaps
you will sit quietly and do this, or perhaps you
will walk in nature, or perhaps some of you will
go to a room that allows you some solitude if only
for a few moments.
Next, breathe deeply and place your awareness
inside, inside past your mind’s calling you to pay
attention to all those things that must be taken
care of. Place your awareness within your spirit,
that which is you. There you will find peace and
within such peace is the initiating of joy. But don’t
try to make anything happen; just bring your
awareness inside.
Next, recognize that you are awake. Recognize that
you are aware and awake and that you are fully
incarnate within such awakened manner of being.
You don’t have to analyze any of this; if you are
doing this, you are awake. I am simply asking you
to recognize it.
Next – and this is the easy part – take a deep
breath and breath it outward, determining that
you are clearing the way for your stepping within
your own journey; a second breath outward and
declare that you are parting the seas of illusion; a
third breath outward and you are declaring your
freedom to go forth within your journey, walking
upon the path of the magician, the path of the
divine unfolding – wherein everything is manifest
for you.
Then just be and allow. Your mind might want to
go to town over all of that; your mind might want
to jump right in and decide what that was all
about, but don’t let it. Just be… inside. Just be
you.
After a while, begin to view what had been interpreted
as grave difficulties. Don’t allow yourself to
be pulled into the energy that you once resided
within. Instead, just look at how it moved you
around. And then allow yourself to see clearly the
pathway that has and will continue to reveal itself
to you. Remember, you don’t have to see the destination
because you are it.
Remember that the creation of the false destination
is all part of the illusion, the dangling of a
carrot in front of you – for the sole purpose of
causing you to expend your energy, your power
within the illusion. And I for one say that you have
had enough of that.
Yes, it is true that all of this might take some practice.
What is the practice? It is refusing to be
enticed by the illusion; it is refusing to react to
what may appear as grave difficulties; and it is
parting the seas of such illusions and remembering…
who you are, what you are, and that you
have amazing abilities and capabilities… and they
are not meant to be used in the struggle; they are
meant to deliver you from the struggle. And that is
what this is all about.
Remember, I am not asking you to ignore the
grave difficulties. On the contrary, I am asking you
to really look at them for what they are: part of
the illusion that asks you to surrender your ability
to choose, to create, to part the seas. I say, don’t
do it! Don’t give up that which you are! And don’t
suffer over the grave difficulties a moment longer.
It’s as if you have been keeping your hand in frigid
water and you are complaining that your hand is
always cold. Ah, yes it is a poor attempt at humor,
but there it is. Remove yourself from that which is
causing you harm; remove your participation, your
emotional excitement from the seeming difficulty.
Get a good look at it – once you’ve returned to
the real you, once you’ve taken a moment to go
inside and to remember… who you are.
I am most pleased to be speaking with you on this
topic or upon any other. I am most fond of you.
Until we speak again, I am Merlin.
Will that do, my dear? (Yes, thank you Merlin.)
