Expanded Consciousness:
     We would be most please to be speaking with you upon your chosen topic, a projection of the year two thousand
nine and to do so, we would include what could be called a more expanded understanding of what is called time.
     Firstly, though, we would speak of your two thousand nine in this manner.  There are many now who are placing the
cause and effect of the future upon political events and outcomes; yet we say to you, there is much more occurring
upon your planet.  Again and again you have heard the words that this is the time of a Great Awakening and such
awakening cannot be denied.  
     While there are rulers who can and will cause great strife for their peoples, there are also rulers who deliver to those
peoples, relief.  Who are those rules but you yourselves.  Do you hear those words?  Together, you can affect the
manner in which Truth incarnates into your physicality.  What do we meant by those words?  In this manner do we speak.
     Truth and the purity of Truth are always flowing forth to take form in its most full manner possible.  As we have
spoken previously, your beliefs, fears, and further, your sleep state all affect the manner in which Truth incarnates.  It is
as if there is a thin veil that holds the fullness of Truth from fully incarnating, so that a mere glimpse manages to flow
through.  Yet even this small glimpse has been enough to cause hopes to raise from the dust of trodden ways, and for
your own hearts to be filled with the knowing that you are not only here for a specific purpose, but that you are also
fulfilling that purpose by continuing to dare to set aside olde beliefs and manners of being, by continuing to dare to
emerge from the olde persona which is now complete, and by continuing to dare to place within your manner of living,
Truth.
     When you proceed in this manner, you are actually not only parting the veil which has held back Truth from its full
incarnating, you are dissolving the integrity of such a veil.  Do you hear those words?  By your manner of residing, by
your manner of releasing your attachment to those ways that said to you that if you followed the rules you would be
more spiritual, by your releasing your attachment to be “more spiritual” than others who did not have the secret, and by
your continued declaration to not only seek but to discover your own fulfillment – a daring declaration in the face of
those dogmas that teach that such self-seeking is detrimental to spiritual growth – you have begun to dissolve all that
has prohibited the full Truth from fully incarnating and then manifesting in the lives of all beings.
     Where in the past there was a striving by many gatherings and groups of beings to be spiritual ahead of the
masses, now there is a glorious recognition of the Truth which says that all beings are one being, that you cannot be
“ahead” of any.   And in such recognition, you are coming to recognize that when you awaken to Truth within your own
residing, then does all of humanity feel the ripple of such awakening.  And in a like manner, when there is another who
similarly awakens, your living experience is enhanced.  Do you see?  
     So that when we say that there is much more going on than governmental decisions or leadership, we are referring
to you and all that you do right in this moment.  With regard to the year two thousand nine, we say to you this is a
grande year.  It is the year when beings in many lands join together for the purpose of knowing and celebrating Truth
and Unity.  It is a year when all beings have the opportunity of giving up separateness and of embracing Oneness of
Being.  And you might be thinking that such an embracing is in the distant future; yet we say to you that such embracing
is occurring now, even as you read these words.  The future is the present.
     What do we mean by those words, the future is the present?  As you go forth within your day, you discover many
invitations to participate in the olde ways.  And much to your credit, you have also discovered that your non-participation
within the olde ways has delivered to you not only relief but also an expansion of your own awareness.  Each and every
time that you become aware of the olde way tapping you on your shoulder, inviting you to reside in fear, to effort to be
better than, or to sacrifice your own health and well-being for the benefit of the many; you are daring to change not only
your manner of living, but successfully changing what you call your future.  Each step that you take within this day, within
this moment, to reside within your most expanded consciousness, are you then creating within the cause and effect the
dissolving of the veil which has screened Truth from its full incarnating.
     Why has such a veil been necessary? In order to preserve the integrity of earth itself and the forming of its ever-
changing patterns, encodings and resultant grid, and in order to preserve the integrity of those who have continued to
remain residing within deep unconsciousness.  Always has Truth flowed forth to its fullest capacity according to what
could be received by those incarnate whilst they remained incarnate.  
     As you go forth within this day, within this moment, we congratulate you upon your own choice to create the year two
thousand nine as it would best suit you.  Yet we also say to you, if you do then project the horrors and the fears of the
horrors, you are not necessarily making them happen.  Why?  Because, beloved ones, the power of Truth is grande.  
And it is incarnating more fully with each breath.  Yet if you do project the horrors and fears of horrors within the
upcoming year, you are simply refusing to awaken, you are allowing the magnetic pull of the past patterns and persona
to carry you back to sleep.  And such a manner is not a crime, not wrong.  It simply is.  And, once again, you will awaken
and emerge from that which was.  
     And you might be asking how you can refrain from being affected by such a magnetic pull and we would say that
within this moment there is an invitation to sleep and to awaken, to emerge and to return to the past.  Within each
moment do you choose.  The more that you choose, even in what might seem to be a slight, insignificant choice of
refusing to succumb to fears and negativity,  you are creating a pattern, a new pattern which refuses the magnetic pull
of the past.
     You needn’t fear the magnetic pull of the past.  Instead, celebrate your own awakened state.  When you discover
that you have, indeed, succumbed to an olde manner of being, celebrate that you awareness of having done so and
emerge consciously.  Determine a different way for your own self, for your own journey and you are not only creating a
beauteous moment, a beauteous day, but also a beauteous year.
     And still you would like to know the probable occurrences of your upcoming year.  We release this speaking, then, to
Merlin.  However, we do remind you that you are creating your year… in this moment.  Do not allow others to speak for
you, to determine for you.  It is always a pleasure to speak with you.

Merlin:  
     Ah, yes, the year two thousand and nine.  Let me take a look at that year.  You think, perhaps that I am looking into
the future, but the truth is, I am looking at the distant past.  And you might be sitting on the edge of your seat, saying,
“Oh boy, tell us what you see!”
     Well, I’d hate to disappoint you, but I might when I say that even though I am looking at the past, that which is called
the Time Stream is ever forming itself.  At times it folds upon itself.  What occurs then?  Well, that which was the
projected future merges with that which has been called the past.  Patterns are formed, some new and some changed,
and the Time Stream continues, as it always has.  You see, even in the viewing of time, as we call it, we have the
tendency to think of it as linear, and I am here to tell you that it is not.  Yet you are not asking me for a teaching about
time, are you.  You are asking me if I will speak upon what you are calling the upcoming year of 2009.  All right, I’ll give it
a whirl, as long as you remember that time is not as it seems.  I can speak as if it is as it seems… yet isn’t that most
curious?  However, as I am most fond of you, I will speak as you ask.
     In your year of 2009, there is great upheaval of governments and established houses of great power.  And even
though it comes to the awareness of the global community that what is called wheeling and dealing has caused the
tumbling of establishments, the global community is more concerned with the daily cause and effect of the global
community.  Do you hear what I am saying?  Even as soon as the third or fourth month of 2009 there will be an
awareness upon the planet that the peoples, that is the global community, are quite powerful.  And it is this community
that will begin to solve many of the problems that have arisen as a direct result of mis-governing and mis-appropriation
of funds, and the dishonorable ruling of the masses.  Of course it may be a while before such news is made evident; yet
there will be… I say there will be the reporting of such a change in global unification of the peoples.  And yes, as there
seems to be upon earth, there will be those who will be punished for their participation; yet they will continue to do so
and their punishment will eventually reach the mass media.  Look to the forming of several establishments of media that
will be dedicated to truth, the real truth.  And most surprising to those establishments that currently exist in distributing
purchased and then twisted news reporting, there will be those who will fund the new media establishments.  You see,
the global community is hungry for change.
     It appears that there will be a period of time that many will be without reception of news and what is occurring upon
the earth.  Some will interpret this time as part of the end of civilization; yet I say to you, that is pure bunk.  During great
changes, much occurs that is unable to be correctly interpreted and reported until there is time for reflection and time
for the truth to be made known.  I say to you, there are many who would rather the peoples have no knowledge than to
have the truth.  Yet you are becoming quite powerful in your manner of calling forth Truth.  It is your growing passion,
which I celebrate, my dear friends.
     It seems that the playing board is leveled.  What does that mean?  It means that nearly all countries become nearly
equal.  I say nearly equal because there will rise from the dust of seeming disaster, a ruler who will be unexpected, but
who does have the capacity to truly lead the masses.  Remember, you are a global community, and while there are
borders or lines drawn upon a map, they truly do not really exist.  There is earth and the land and the sea… and all
beings who reside thereupon and therein.  
     There are several visits planned by those who reside upon distant planets.  The visits are purposed with assisting
humanity to lift above the need for the planetary resources for which there are many battles now occurring.  There are
several beings upon your planet who are capable of receiving Truth and the most expanded manner of forming energies
which would supply the masses with all necessary power, and it is to those ones that the visitors will download the
information they so readily deliver.  It is the Universal Wish, so to speak, for all beings to be whole and residing within a
manner of living that provides fulfillment in small and large ways.  The visitors’ schedule enters earthly time keeping
during the month of June.
     Now let me speak with you upon something, something dear to my own heart, and that is you.  Let’s talk about you in
the year 2009.  Let’s face it, you will not be happy with your olde job, your olde ways, your beliefs or any manner of
living that prohibits your fulfillment.  Does that mean that if you are bored with your job, you should quit.  Well, you might,
but that is not what I am referring to.  I am referring to you and your inner knowing of yourself.
     And I am saying, as clearly as I can, that you will change.  For some, your focus on projected plans will dissolve and
it will be as if those plans are no longer important, where in the past they were a primary ingredient in your journey.  
What has occurred?  You have emerged and in so emerging,  you have discovered that firstly, you are no longer who
you perceived yourself to be, and secondly, there is something else calling you.  
     And when I say “something else calling you”, I’m not referring to a specific external thing, event, or purpose.  What I
am referring to is your glorious innate ability to recognize when you are being true to yourself…and when you are not.   
You will no longer be happy with going along with the gang, with going along with what everyone else has decided to
venture forth into… when you feel a different calling.  I would even venture to say that it will be an impossibility for you to
give up your own inner yearning for something that just doesn’t fit.
     Some of you might discover that you are actually fine painters, while others may find that they are giving away their
paints!  And you might be saying, Merlin I can’t paint, or Merlin I will never give up painting.  And I say to you, you will not
be who you have been.  We have been saying those words all along for quite some time and you have been reading
them, much to your credit of an open mind.  Yet when you let those words sink in, what do they mean… really?
     Some of you will move to the country, and some will sell your homes in the country and live in the forests.  Some will
live upon the sea and others who have been on the sea will set foot upon land and never leave it.  Some of those who in
the past determined that they would not have children, determine that even later in life, they will!  
All of these examples are meant to ask you to consider what a change would mean to you.  With all of these examples, I
am asking you to dare to remain open, to dare to allow your own changes to occur, and of course lastly but most
importantly, I am asking you to dare to allow your inner yearnings to be recognized, to be considered, and more so, to
become your new manner of living.  Dare.
     And it is in the year 2009 that there forms a grande community of you all; that is, of those beings who have dared to
become who they really are.  Oh I don’t mean that you will all live in the same town or city, or that you will be neighbors.  
No.  It is most likely that you will not.  Yet you will be, you will exist and you will feel each other.
     In June of 2009, my dear friends, if you are reading these words, you will be asked to become aware of something
that will be nearly unbelievable.  Some of you might even judge what comes to you to be untruth or an impossibility.  Yet
I say to you, wait a moment longer, hear more of the statements, listen with your heart.  You will be in for a great
surprise that I believe will thrill you.  Now remember these words; mark your calendars.  And when it occurs, know that I
am at your side… why?  Oh, I just want to see the look upon your face!  And of course, I am always present to assist you.

     In October of 2009 it appears there will be several upheavals of earthly substance.  I would say that it is not a good
time to be on the sea for any reason.  In addition, the canals will most likely have difficulty functioning.  Stay clear.
I suppose I could go on and on, however, the most important news for 2009 is all about you.  Remember that when
events begin to turn and to give you the opportunity to become outraged or to look within and discover what your own
inner journey is asking of you.  That’s the real journey, isn’t it.
     Remember too that I am most fond of you.  I remain Merlin.

Pretty Flower:
Greetings wondrous beings!  How absolutely wondrous to have this opportunity to speak with you in this manner!  And
you have chosen the topic of the upcoming year, two thousand and nine, of which we will speak in this manner.
     There are many who would like to see great changes occur within the cause and effect upon earth.  And that is most
understandable, as much has been occurring to sadden the hearts of many.  Yet we say to you, as have others, the
great changes always occur within firstly.  Yet let us speak upon the external, as it is currently coming forth.  What does
that mean?
     When we view the upcoming year, we are viewing two thousand and nine as it does flow forth resting upon the
current manner of residing, upon the current consciousness, and upon the current knowing of Oneness of Being.  Yet
you are most aware that this is the time of the Grande Awakening.  If there is anything that is, as you have the slang
vocabulary, “hanging in the wings”, it is the cause and effect and the current flowing forth.  As we have spoken with you
again and again, never underestimate the power of not only who you are but also the focus of your consciousness.  For
as the forerunners expand their consciousness, then so does the awakening increase within the sleeping masses.  What
does that exactly mean?  It means that the more that you release your olde ideas and your olde beliefs, and the more
that you expand your consciousness into the knowing of Oneness of Being, the more that you are affecting the manner
within which the upcoming year unfolds.  Do you hear what we are saying?
     Remember, the future is not written in stone.  The future is seen by many and at times there are most accurate
“predictions”; yet know that even those who are experts at seeing into the future cannot know in the moment how your
expanded consciousness can and does change the nature of the cause and effect.  You are most amazing beings; and
even though you will look to see, to read what has been said about the future, you are still most capable of focusing
upon Truth, the Truth within your own self; and when you do, you are then hearing your own invitation to participate
within this Grande Awakening and the incarnating of Paradise.  
     If you read words of gloom and doom, as they are called, remember that everything is a possibility, even the gloom
and doom.  Yet we emphatically say these words, the opposite of such predictions is true.  There is great hope residing
within the consciousness of those who have been awakening.  Because great hope has incarnated in such a wondrous,
glorious way; then there is the tapping upon the shoulder of the sleeping masses.  The tapping says, “Awaken!  Dare to
Hope.  And then, Dare to reach into those Hopes and Dreams and find a new pathway.  The new pathway will deliver
you into fulfillment!”  And it is your manner of living that provides the tapping, beloved ones.  And that is the Truth.  The
most glorious Truth.
     Then we would speak these words for the benefit of your being, upon the topic as you have requested.
     Within the year of two thousand and nine, there come forth upon the land those who would rule the world.  There
are those who long ago began to gather for the sole purpose of ruling the world.  Yet they have forgotten something
most important.  They have forgotten that the consciousness of the world cannot be dominated when it is residing within
an awakened state.  And the more that the awakening occurs, the more the masses are able to refuse to be
manipulated by those who wish to rule.
     What are the consequences?  Unrest.  Civil unrest.  There are the many who will take to the streets in all countries.  
There are the many who are gathering even as you read these words, gathering for the purpose of wholeness of being,
of love of the whole, and of peace both within and without.  There are those who are holding the expanded
consciousness of Truth.  And they, beloved ones, are the real rulers of the world.  Yet they are not rulers, but are the
saviors; they place into the hearts and minds of the downtrodden, that which is called deep love and recognition that all
beings are One Being.  Yes, the ruler: One Being, All Beings.
     In the month of March there flow forth waves of abundance, as if money is falling from the skies.  Yet it will disappear
before it reaches the hands of those who are outstretched to receive.  Fear not, however, all is as if “play money” and
the real abundance resides within.  Even though you hear these words again and again, nothing can diminish the
Truth.  Real abundance resides within and it is from within your very being that the wealth of peace, of love, and of
monies flow forth.  You have always known this.
     Also in the month of March, there are those who have determined that they will come forth from distant planets and
Universes to assist in the aligning of the cause and effect upon this planet of Earth.  What does that mean?  It means
that the frequencies, grids, and more so that which is called the encodings which have determined the residing within
physicality, have become distorted.  This is not a crime, beloved ones, but is a result of the struggle within the cause
and effect.  
     The beings who come forth do so to assist in the alignment of being so that those encodings can be activated…
activated by the awakening consciousness of the peoples who reside upon earth.  Do you hear those words?  The
encodings have always been meant to be activated by you and by your continued awakening.  Yet the distortion has
placed a density about those encodings.  These glorious beings flow forth to assist by breathing a breath upon the
density [so] that the encodings might be free to be activated, as was created long ago.
     In that called the month of April, there comes forth three children who will speak the words of the Mother, the Divine
Mother.  Their journey begins in that country of Bolivia and they will be hidden for a time; yet know that their speaking
will become known and it is likely that they will travel about different countries so that  the many can hear the words and
feel the energies as they flow forth through the children.  Fear not for the health and safety of the children.  They have
determined, long before entering this life, that they would reside upon earth but a short time.  It is their purpose to flow
forth in this manner, to allow the speaking of the Divine Mother, and then to depart.  Remember these words when your
heart wants to ache at the loss of the children; they have determined such departing.  Their departing will assist to clear
much pain and sorrow from the earth.
     In the month of May there comes forth from that country known as Russia, a leader who will affect the nature of the
way beings view the world.  This leader is of the olde school, so to speak, and has known suffering and struggles.  This
leader is determined to change his country’s ease of living.  Yet his words will not speak such determining, as he will be
courting other nations’ wealth.  He has his own people’s deliverance in his heart.  Yet such deliverance may be at the
expense of what might be called, a Pact for Peace.
     In the month of June there comes forth an invitation for another war by two large countries.  In this instance, the
United States is mostly likely to refuse, much to the applause of its peoples.  Yet those countries will ravage each other
while, once again, the world watches.  Be not judgmental, beloved ones.  Instead, breathe your breath of love to all
beings, ALL, even those who are presented as ones you may despise.  Instead, breathe your love.  You cannot
conceive how powerful your love can be in this instance.
     There are also those, in the month of June, who will present for the world, a discovery of healing, healing for the
great diseases.  There has been much competition to cure the world of ailments, each individual in nature; yet this
healing has brought together a common denominator, so to speak.  Then resides the question if such discovery and
understanding of the whole will be allowed to surface, will be allowed to assist beings, and will be allowed to remain
incarnate.  Yet do not be discouraged as you read these words, for much has changed since the last time such a
discovery was made manifest and then quickly destroyed.  You, the forerunners, have participated in the change.  We
are in the hoping, so to speak, that you are aware of all that you have done!  The more “need to be right” that you have
released, the more that you have embraced the Truth of that which you are:  All That Is flowing forth to form in all
manners of expression.
     In the month of July there is a lifting of oppression from the hearts of many.  Though there may not be evident the
reason for such lifting, the hidden reason resides within those rulers who have been communicating regarding world
peace, world wholeness, world health, world love, world unity, and more so, the cessation of poverty in all manners of
being including that which is called soul-poverty.  Even one communication centered upon such a purpose affects the
entirety of humanity in amazing ways.
     In the month of August in the year of two thousand and nine, there come forth upheavals upon the earth as she
does then realign herself with the new consciousness.  There are those land masses that will change their descriptions.
     In the month of September in the year two thousand and nine, there is birthed upon the earth the next leader of that
called the United States of the World.  This is not to be confused with the United States of America.  However, as the
cause and effect occurs now, the being will be birthed within that country.  This leader, a woman, will go forth with much
power.  Even those who are present at her birth will feel the energies incarnate.
     In the month of October in the year two thousand and nine, the creatures of the sea rise to the surface of the sea
and speak with many beings.  What does this mean?  As the cause and effect arranges itself in this moment, it is as if
the creatures of the seas rise to the surface and speak loudly.  There will be those who will say that they understand
what the creatures are saying; yet do not believe them.  None will truly know until the month of November.  The speaking
will require one month – or so – to be fully understood.
     In the months of November and December, the peoples of earth are at rest.  What does that mean?  These are the
months wherein the peoples cease from residing within the projected cause and effect and begin to reside within this
one moment called eternity.  What does this mean?  It means that the illusion is parting, beloved ones, and those who
are here upon earth to begin the celebration of Truth will begin by residing quietly within their own lives, within their own
pleasures, and within the great deep peace that flows forth from their inner beingness out into the lives of the many.  It is
a time of celebration, beloved ones.
     Remember, dear ones, that all that is spoken of the upcoming year is residing upon the frequencies… as they are
currently residing.  Remember also that you are causing the nature of your physicality to change, you are causing the
nature of the cause and effect to change, and you…  YOU are participating in this called the Grande Awakening.  Again
we say, never underestimate the power of that which you are, that which you do, and that to which you awaken.  The
Truth, beloved ones, is amazing and your journey within such discovery will most definitely bring joy to all who reside
about you.  Joy is your inner celebration of innocence of being residing within Truth.  
     Remember, letting go of the need to be right is the great beginning, the great middle, and the great opening to what
you call the blessed future within which you reside.
     We are always with you, even beyond the end of time…  Blessed are you, beloved ones.  Blessed are you.
