Continued from Phylos.
Greetings to you, my friend. My name is Merlin. Well actually that isn't really my real name; my name Ambrosius; Merlin is what I am called though. And Merlin was actually a shortened version of the word Merlinius which is how it was said in my language — Celtic — or Myyrddin depending on where one was from, and that is a title more than a name. I was called Myyrddin Ambrosia or Merlinius Ambrosius, either one. But you may call me Merlin; put aside all that confusion. I am also an old friend to you although we haven't always been friends. We have been rivals at one time. However, we have subsequently, let us say, put our affairs in order on many occasions. And not only here in the physical world, when you were here before and I was here before, but many times in our dimension we've become quite close, as a matter of fact, and we… you have often helped me on matters even after you have left this world and come to the other aside and dwelt in the spirit. And so for that reason we have made a little pact that when either one of us happened to come into this world for any incarnation, for one reason or another, that we would give each other a hand. So, I've returned to do just that. Thank you, Merlin. I'm very glad to meet you again. Well, I'm very happy to be able to speak with you in this way.
Let me say one thing: First of all, regarding creating our own realities. Do you know for centuries you and I have been in a debate around this and not always on the same side of the debate — switching sides alternately? But, in essence, let me simply say this: That whoever decides to create their own reality had better make certain that it's in harmony with the reality beyond their own creation. Because there is always the reality you create and the reality other than the one you create, which usually tends to rule over the reality you've created. And, you see... Let me put it like this: You can be master of the reality of your creation but you cannot be the master of the Creation, as many may find out over and over again, because a particularly difficult thing happens. Without their intending it, one of two things happens: one is good and the other isn't.
The bad thing is this: without particularly intending it, one becomes a controller and a manipulator. Now the word human actually means... Do you know what the word human comes from the word… the Latin root hu or divine and manus which means manipulator? So, the actual word human means divine manipulator. Are you aware of that? No. Yes, well, the thing about... You are meant to move and manipulate a few things in life. However, the thing that you are not meant to manipulate is the will of others. And it's very hard to try to create a reality that does not come into conflict with what others intend to create. So that, before you know it, you are in a battle of wills with others that don't agree with you. And I don't mean that you need their agreement, but… For example, a relationship.
Let us take a relationship as an example: You have a particular idea of what you might want in a relationship which might be different than even your partner's idea in some respects and you find yourself in a battle with them. And it's not only with a relationship but with every aspect of life until people end up creating karmas with each other, or causes and effects which end up entangling them and they forget all about what they are trying to create at the highest level. Because they've created so many causes and effects, they're so busy straightening those things out they become involved in a whirlwind of effects that tie them up. And this is what many find.
The other thing that tends to happen when people tend to try to create their reality — and this is a good thing — is that, as a result of having so many conflictual experiences, that they realize that the Universe has its own flow which is probably wiser that any one they could think of. And they end up seeking their place in that flow. And as a result of seeking their place in it they find a higher reality.
Now, this a nigh unto impossible to find while people still hold fear. And this is what you and I — as well as many others — have found as the final resolution to this great argument which we had been carrying on for centuries. And that is, the creation of one's own reality rarely happens on a higher level, at the highest of possible realities. (It happens on a smaller level.) But the reason why we have found that that rarely is realized — or shall we say, the creation, the intention to create a higher reality from one's own will — we have found rarely happens because... What we have found instead most often happens is that people end up trying to create a reality based on what they fear won't happen if they don't try to create it. In other words, fear turned out to be the ruler.
Even though many, including ourselves, have found that we were trying to get beyond the fear, and base it on love, we found that fear ended up ruling. In other words: because we, for example, thought we could never really have a relationship we tried to create one based on the idea that unless we do it we won't have one. And that as the motivation ended up thwarting it. And the fear ruled out again and again. You and I have both found this — and this is why you're caught in it right now, in a debate about it in your yourself, because it's hard for you to remember what we've realized. And instead, what we have found is that when we released ourselves from the fear that there wouldn't be one or that we didn't deserve one or couldn't have one; rather than trying to make ourselves feel worthy and create a psychological whole perspective, we just found that: why don't we let the Spirit address our fear as an energetic principle or as an energetic experience. Acknowledgement that we were… had concern or doubt that the Universe could take care of us and to let the Universe reveal to us how safe and how wonderful we are and how wonderful life is. And also let it remove from us...
So, a little thing I want to ask, to suggest to you, that Merlin… that rather, not Merlin, that... I forgot. Ah, two, that the others were joined in with Phylos, Phylos? Yes, but it was also Jeshua and John. Jeshua? Yes, the thing they forgot to mention is that in your morning, when you're asking to be received and guided, also say: Remove from me all the obstacles that stand in my way of what I am here for. Every day ask for the removal of those obstacles. And, letting the Spirit address that is wonderful.
So, with regard to a relationship: How do you create your relationship? Listen... it is very simple. You... I did it like this: I simply said... Well, first of all, I must tell you, I wasn't all that good at relationships and perhaps you shouldn't listen to me, heh, heh. But this is how I did it: I said, Creator, You know what I want. I'm a man. You know what I want! And, You know what I want better than I do, so please, bring it to me! And Creator did. In fact, in one instance, the very next day someone came to my door and just said: Merlin, I'm supposed to be with you. So I said, Well alright, since I had just asked. [Laughter.] Now you might think this sounds very strange, but it happens. It wasn't very strange at all; it happened on a regular basis.
And after we had a relationship for a while I started to get rather annoyed. I was not a patient man, and I didn't know what to do. It occured to me: Well, Creator; well, thank You for having brought me this gift but will You please take it away now. [Laughter.] And within a few weeks she came to me saying: You know, I sense it's time for me to go. Now, I could have just said: Ah, I can't stand this rejection. Why? And try to work it out and all that sort of thing. But I remembered that I did ask. And Creator let her go from me. And I found that was the best way to do it. I had the Creator address my needs. And an answer always came — if I was willing to do certain footwork. And the footwork is the work that Phylos, Jeshua and John just gave you. If you are willing to do that footwork, what you ask will be given.
That footwork is important because it makes you do certain house cleaning. There are certain characteristics of your mortal nature that will never go away and need constant attention. And these characteristics are usually instincts… related to instincts that have gone awry for one reason or another. Like, for example, a social instinct. A desire to relate to your peers in particular way and have them understand you in a particular way. If that instinct wasn't there the human race could not survive as a species. So, Creator puts in everyone a desire to relate to their society. And so, this will often turn into… to be held in high esteem by the society because that will give you the greatest power and influence over your destiny which otherwise, if you don't have a certain amount of power and influence, you tend to think that it will over-influence you and... fear again is the motive sometimes. But that instinct cannot be removed, which means you will always seek that on some level. But to have it in right balance is a challenge. And that, for example… what you've been given is a way to keep that in balance: Remove from me the obstacles and show me the way.
And, also a sex instinct, and an emotional security instinct and a physical plane security instinct regarding money, clothes, shelter — things like that. So, an instinct for security — emotional, physical — an instinct for sexual and emotional relations and an instinct for a place in society can all… are all instincts given to you by the Creator which can go awry if those things are not met. And so, if you keep them in right placement, then nothing shall stand in the way.
And what is right placement? Not what I tell you what it is, not what any book, any scripture tells you what it is. It isn't any of that. It's not what you tell yourself, either, because if it were what you told yourself you'd be happy, joyous and free right now. So, it is what comes from your seeking it from the Source regularly. Not just once, because what you sought from the Source yesterday may be a little different today. So that's why humility is needed: to keep seeking. Because this is what I, personally, have found is that I thought that once I sought an answer and got it, I thought I got it. That was it, forever. And then things would go wrong and I said: Wait a minute, I sought this from the Creator, how could I have possibly ended up in this mess? And, furthermore, I used to tell people: This was what God wants! And I would do it and many good things would happen. Then I'd get myself into huge, complex problems that I couldn't get out of and I'd say: How did this ever happen? I sought the answer! But what I did not have was humility, you see. The humility to keep seeking daily, and sometimes many times throughout each day.
And so, I found that I had a tremendous bombastic ego. And I also found something else, that even in spirit I have that ego. And Creator once sought me ought, brought me into the light and said: Merlin, you will never get rid of your ego, so keep seeking My guidance. And so, I said: What a fabulous answer, thank You! And then It booted me out of the light, put me in the world, and said: Teach people what I have shown you. And so, this is what I do and I love it! And it flows in the light of... Creator flows through me in every dimension I journey to. And I can go... I no longer have to go through birth and death; I can show up wherever I want. Now that's not true of everyone, that's just been my gift. Many have it, many don't. But others have other gifts that I don't have.
So, what I am saying is this: you must seek every day and it will be given every day. You will have an awakening. And, it may be gradual on some days, it may be incredible on others. But if you keep seeking, the answers will keep coming.
Forget about, brother, creating your own reality. Between you and I, leave that for the others. That's not what you and I are about. You and I, we have other business. I know this because we have shared lifetimes together. Others may have the business of creating their own reality — that may be a part of their spiritual path — it isn't part of yours. Yours is surrender, surrender to what is revealed to you according to your best understanding of what that is. And now you can test that and see if that's true. And I recommend that you do. But I will personally, as well as the others, we will personally work with you and we will show up in the veil between the two dimensions which is currently being lifted, shall lift even further. Does this make any sense to you?
Yes Merlin, it makes great sense, and I just want to say that I love you.
Ah, I know you do, I feel it! And I love you to and I shall always be with you. We've gone through so much together. Well, my love, I must go now. Ah... the medium only gives us 50 minutes. If you have one last thing I shall answer.
Okay. Oh, a question? Yes. Let's see... What… what one thing can I do right now to help someone else? Ah, well, alright... Oh, If it's a long answer don't worry. Well, let me… let me... I have a hard time... Well... You say... Well, the best thing that you can do… Well of course… Well since, you might say, the Creator has given me special dispensation to hold my ego as long as I keep checking in, I'll just say pass on what we're telling you. Pass it on. Pass it on. When the opportunity comes, pass it on. The more you pass it on, the more free you will be.
And one final thing. Work with your dreams. Find a person whose name is Dr. LaBerge, L-a-b-e-r-g-e. He may have some writings on the subject of dreams. You must become lucid so we can talk with you. Okay, I'll do my best. Alright? Laberge, Dr. Stephen Laberge, L-a-b-e-r-g-e. This will help us contact you directly. I will do my best, Merlin. Thank you very much. You're very welcome, my friend. Blessings. Thank you.
Addendum
I followed Merlin’s advice and eventually met him in a dream. This is a likeness of how he appeared to me in the dream:ez
And, so that you may resonate with his being, if you desire to, here is a recording of his voice as it sounded through my medium from a session in Hollywood, Florida in 1997.
