MERLIN
I bless you each one as I enter, and I give you greetings from my world.
From my Kingdom, I am the one called Merlin, who was an advisor to a King and
his followers. Together we spent many days, many years, working with each other,
assisting each other, helping to bring about a change in the Consciousness of
all of those who came to hear and to see.
Down through history, the myths have placed me in the character of a magician.
But I can assure you that I was far more than a magician. Although I did
understand the fine art of alchemy and was able to convert metals, I always did
so for a purpose. For at the time of my sojourn upon the Earth, history was
being made, battles were being fought, not so much over territory and those
things physical but rather over ideology and how people should think and raise
their families.
The Knights of the Round Table—though symbolic they might be—indeed that was the
manner in which, sitting around the table, and it was a round table, discussions
were entered into. First were those discussions involving Arthur himself and his
confidantes, those who were chosen. And then the rites of initiation which were
to lead others in approaching their objectives in a positive manner. Oftentimes
Arthur and his concepts were attacked, Arthur being physically attacked by those
who thought they knew more about how the affairs of the time should be run.
Arthur was a Kin—his domain extended far and wide—and lesser Monarchs would send
their favored, their lieutenants, their young soldiers to Arthur to be trained
as Knights and to be returned back then to their own Principalities to help and
to assist and carry forth the teaching.
One could say that which I represented was a Mystery School. For there were
certain Knights who were brought forward around the Round Table for deep
discussions—about philosophy, the mysteries of life—and the course of events for
them was no different than that which you seek today: to understand self, to
understand why it was necessary to move into battle, to defend the principles of
trade and education and not allow the despots to overrun the Kingdom and destroy
the Soldiering and the Principality.
So Arthur’s Knights were keenly trained and intelligent and they understood,
first of all, the spiritual aspects of what battle and fighting in battle
meant—realizing that in some instances they would lay down their lives for that
cause they believed in, but always fight with honor. And the moral character and
the fiber of their character was something that was constantly dealt with in the
Knighthood, that army of Knights who represented the front line of the Kingdom,
both in fighting and in protecting.
Arthur always felt it was important that those who were brought forward from the
various Principalities should be screened. In some instances, they’d come
forward because there was family pressure or peer pressure to go into battle,
and it was rightful for them to lose their lives if that was necessary—the honor
of the family was all-important. But Arthur was a sensitive man and a leader,
and in working with me felt that there were those that did not belong in the
army to develop as Knights, but rather should develop their sensitivity and
enter into the Mysteries, and in some instances enter into the monasteries,
where they would receive much instruction and read and be counseled, and move
out again then throughout this vast region to serve as Spiritual Advisors,
Counselors, Healers, helpers, and defenders of the Faith. It is such a desire
that we have, as we work with those such as yourselves, who—in a way, though
some of you be in feminine garb, nevertheless were all Knights—are moving
forward, protecting those who are less fortunate, helping those who are less
fortunate, hopefully bringing about a better Kingdom upon the Earth.
But let it be understood that the legends of King Arthur, of Merlin, of
Lancelot, Guenevere—all of those principals within that time and place—were
real, as legend is real, and continue to exist in the realm of Spirit.
It was a kindly time and much was accomplished, but then, even as today, there
were those rivals who could not understand why that which Arthur preached and
taught and advocated was so successful. Many attributed that to magic. It wasn’t
magic. It was indeed attuning to the Higher Law, allowing that Law and that
Energy to express through the individual. That was the true story of what
happened in this magic time.
I place it before you and I wish you each as good an experience in your journey
as those who come forth from the period of Arthur.
And I bless you, each one.
