Merlin...
has stated that he has very little to do with the descriptions of him in histories of
times long ago.  We have come to know him as the Spark of Creation, and as our
sessions with Merlin have progressed, we have learned that he is the keeper or
guardian of all Akashic Records and is what could be called "long-time friend" of
that called God/Goddess.  It is a great pleasure to feel his certainty flow forth with
clear words, challenging statements, and of course an enjoyable sense of humor.
Merlin:  
   Ah yes, you want me to speak of the year two thousand and eight, this upcoming year, as if it is laid in stone.  And of course I cannot
speak of what will be as if I am ordering it to take form; yet I can and will speak of the possibilities as the energies and patterns flow
within this moment.  Now don’t miss those words.  What do they mean?  Obvious, don’t you think?  Yet I’ll give you an example.
   
    If you were to be walking down a road and come upon two different ways to walk.  One way is quite muddy, the other dry and made for
easy walking.  Your plans, in this example, were to take the way that is now quite muddy.  Right in that moment you have a choice.  While
it’s true that neither choice is correct or incorrect, it seems to me – and hopefully to you – that the dry and easy way might be one to be
considered… that is, unless you are a martyr.  
  
    In a like manner, when I speak of this upcoming year, I am speaking of what might be.  And of course, being magicians, you are able to
change your experience of what might be, by your choice.  Notice I didn’t say that you could change what might be, though you may.  I did
say that you could change your experience of what might be by your choice.  And I’d be belaboring the point if I kept on with the above
example, but humor me for a moment.  If it’s going to rain, it seems to me that the dry road will give you a different experience during
such rain, than the already muddy road.  You aren’t changing the fact that it will rain – though some of you are adept at that practice – you
are simply changing your experience of the rain by whatever choices you make.
  
    In a like manner, if you are accustomed to discovering your own pleasures, your own fulfillments, and your own joys in your lifely
adventure, then you are already making choices that will give to you experiences that will match such choices.  And if you’ve forgotten
how to play or don’t think it’s worthwhile, then I suppose you’ll have a great time discovering stomping around in the mud!  Oh yes, I am
enjoying a sense of humor today, but I am not without point!  All right, then I’ll get on with the speaking of this upcoming year, as it
appears from this moment.

   You have the phrase “the walls come tumbling down” and it is now an appropriate phrase for the structures that have been created to
manipulate the cause and effect as it continues to deliver to those who believe they have figured out this power thing, all the riches and
spoils of this last war.  The people – in all lands – will take no more, will suffer quietly no more, and will begin a sound that will build and
build and build until the entire world is forced to listen.  You, my dears, are most aware of much of the horrific events occurring upon
your earth, as is earth most aware.  And I wouldn’t want to dash your hopeful dreams to the ground, as you say, but the truth is that you
are not quite aware of what is occurring.  There are much more horrific occurrences than are reported in your news, even in your
underground news.  Yet such suffering has a sound and it is that sound that is building.  And it is within the spirit of those suffering that
the words “no more” have begun to form, have begun to dare to form even in the most dangerous moments.  Even those who depart
from physicality have and are carrying the sound, allowing it to vibrate and to build.  

   In addition, there are those who have been observes of your journeys and cause and effect, and they too have begun to say the same
words, no more; they have begun to request a ceasing of the horrific suffering; they have begun to sound a tone.  The tone is whole.  
The tone is unchangeable.  The tone has begun to resonate now and will continue to build.  The tone from the observers is one of love
and wholeness, ever reminding all of humanity of its origins, of its oneness, and of its unity.  As it appears now, the tones from the
observers, uniting with the tones of the suffering saying “no more”; uniting with the tones of those who reside within the earth and who
cause such vibrations to radiate to the skin, vibrations of tenderness and gentleness forgotten long ago; uniting with those of you who
are Forerunners and who have chosen to awaken within your own journey, to choose joy and delight – even amidst the news, the horrific
news; Forerunners who remember wholeness, who celebrate truth, and who know that all beings are one being; such uniting vibrates
throughout the fabric of all existence.  Such vibrating, such tones, such uniting – as it appears now – causes the dissolving of what
could be called quasi power, false power, illusionary power.

   When there is such dissolving, there comes forth those who will dare to guide the people toward healing; there comes forth those
who will dare to care for the multitudes; and there comes forth those who will have within the fabric of who they are manifesting, those
capabilities and seated purposes that can and will turn the events upon earth toward the vibrations and fulfillment of paradise.  Yes, you
might say that the journey would be long within such fulfillment.  Yet even whilst walking toward the garden, the scent fills you to the
brim and overflows, reminding your heart that love is evermore.

   This year, two thousand and eight, has great possibilities toward mirroring the transformation that you have been delighting in
experiencing.  Oh my dear friends, your world is greatly affected by your daring to play, to love, daring to make the choices that give to
you ease of living… even in the face of what has been reported again and again.  Oh I am not saying that you must ignore what is going
on; more so, it is your response that is so very powerful.  When you refuse to dance the anger dance and instead celebrate love and
peace, you are choosing your own venue for experiencing your own divine flowing.  Now that doesn’t mean that anger is a crime; it
simply means that you are always choosing your own arena, your own playground, your own home.

   As it appears, there will most likely be discovered that some of the labeled extinct creatures are actually living and well in the most
unlikely locations.  This will perhaps give some a moment to consider that that means.

   But what you would like to hear, and what I so delight in saying is that, my dears, if you are reading these words, most likely your
suffering will diminish to nothing.  Why?  The answer is simple.  You are more awake than you have ever been before, as a whole and as
an individual; and it is within your awakened state, awakened consciousness that the magic occurs.  That is, that which has always
appears to be impossible, becomes possible.  And it is your saying “yes” that brings fulfillment into your every experience.  I am most
proud of you for all that you have discovered, all that you have uncovered and released – even those beliefs that comprised your very
foundation.  When you found the thread to unraveling such beliefs and then discovered their source, you were most expedient in
discarding them.  Such discarding, such discovery is magnificent!  It is Godly!  It is you, discovering, uncovering the Truth of who you
are.  And I for one am most proud of you for that.  Most proud.

   Until we speak again, I am
Merlin.
