Over the many years I collaborated with the Merlin Energy I was always aware of the constant vibrational changes occurring within me and the effect of that resulting transition to my relationship with the outside world. This heightening and expansion took me through numerous periods of rewiring to fine tune my bodies subtle energy systems to the new frequency that was now working through me.
 

With these dynamic alterations occurring on a pretty regular basis, I began to recognise that they were actually coinciding with a particular challenging painting that was being undertaken at the time. I realised that the execution of a particular art piece was literally a reflection of the moment. As I engaged on the painting it highlighted and as if to make the point very clearly, it often intensified an uncomfortable situation I was going through. I began to accept the challenges as grace and this grace would help to release me from perpetual experiential cycles that had been associated and dogged me through most of my life.
 

Rather than listening to the constant ramblings of the thought process I had taken as who I was, through a new awareness that was drawn from a still space within and a greater acceptance of the guidance that came from a deeper attunement to my bodies guidance and advice. With this clarity it was clear that although Courtney had been on his 'spiritual path' for many years, as the embrace of the Beloved deepened so Courtney's part in this clearing shifted, the association to the physical world altered from a position of deep involvement in its complexity to a point of deeper awareness and a greater detachment from the grip of the drama of the world outside that can so easily can draw you in. 
 

In the darkest moments, at no point do you become detached from stillness, the whole point is not gaining anything, it's remembering what you are that's the key, and the awareness of the fact that you are one with everything. Experiencing that connection is truly magical. After years of the urge to gain some kind of enlightenment, at its flowering, Courtney loses out and with realisation, relinquishes his hold to the Universal Spirit, God, the Beloved. Of course this is an ever changing scenario as the ego doesn't give up easily without a fight, so random thoughts will catch you and build upon a simple incidental thought in a very creative manner and hook you in. For your development many situations will arise that will shake any complacency that you have reached some plateau beyond reach of any unresolved patterns, there's nothing that can be swept under the carpet, hidden in some secret place that's insignificant enough to be brought into the light and resolved. The process of a closer union is the shedding of that which doesn't serve you.
 

Dodging re- occurring obstacles impede growth and at some point they will be addressed. Viewing them as a grace rather than an a painful challenge and obstacle to your peace of mind will turn the situation from something that is to be feared to a blessing that can be liberated. The key that resolved its eventual liberation seems to be embedded like a microchip into the art itself and connecting with the painting seems offer an invitation to anyone who is particularly drawn to it, the ability to facilitate  their own clearing and healing to anyone who becomes hooked by its presence.
 

Merlin was insistent throughout our time together that I didn’t absorb additional knowledge from books, but keep this channel clear for the illumination to flow purely. I can certainly attest to numerous ragings on my part over the years and much shaking of fists into the air, as situations befell me and frustrations at the supposedly lack of support where needed. Of course in hindsight it was me that needed to side to the challenge and to complete the task rather than the wave of some metaphysical wand to clear my way.
 

At the beginning of our relationship I often tried to incorporate what I thought was a neat bit of design into the work, firstly the small blue lights that always accompanied our joint effort would stop and if I was still insistent there followed a distinct poke in my back. Purity of the energetic connection was paramount and when the piece was finished, all the creative instructions in my head were erased like chalk being wiped off a blackboard and I retained very little of the description of the specific work.
 

It's this disengagement from need to know to a point where you are opening to a clear position that's uncomplicated with irrelevant facts that only obscure the opening of the portal embedded in the painting. People think I am the wellspring of knowledge of all things Celtic and are amazed at how little I actually know.

The Merlin energies practise of guiding me away from any outside influences and I deeply resented, actually encouraged a deeper appreciation of our collaboration together. Each day as the energy drew close and overshadowed me and recognised subtle changes according to the subject of the art piece. It's easy to say it was the Merlin Energy each day but the movement of these external energies and its effect on this physical frame made me aware that trying to pigeon hole the name became increasingly more difficult. 

​

I became mindful over these past few years that the understanding was coming from a place truth as I had actually experienced and perceived rather than from some second hand source. This vehicle that we claim as who we are, isn’t some solid mass but made up of layers of vibrating energy, each of those layers have a specific vibration and purpose and are important to the bodies overall balance and well being. The physical body only appears to our physical eyes as solid because the energy vibrates more slowly. Merlin altered my focus from seeing my form in a purely physical way and recognising that it is actually created from the same source as the Universe itself. There was no division but everything was a whole.
 

I realised that I had been waiting for this new door to open. Waiting for the chance to be in service to others.
I didn’t realise that my art had already both opened the door and led me through it. So I set to work planning
the format, creating workbooks, and promoting a series of events focused on attunement.

The Merlin Seed attunement happened purely by chance. One day while I was accepting healing from friend, I
realised that the energy was slowly shifting and that now I was healing him. The effect on my friend was profound, causing major shifts in his energy body over the next few days which both enhanced his healing capabilities and his Merlin connection. It became clear that activating this attunement creates a direct connection with the Mage which in turn works in a creative, self-healing, and inspiring way. Healing and creative abilities become enhanced and this power can be drawn on through daily life. This dynamic energy is very potent and when people open up to accept it their lives are filled with a deeper awareness of who they truly are.

The Merlin Star attunement followed the Merlin Seed. Yet I was very cautious about working with and sharing what I sensed was an enormous awakening power. Where the Merlin Seed works on a level of dealing with the physical world the Merlin Star seems to almost shift planets! “…after receiving the Merlin star, I have found considerable guidance from Merlin. Perhaps one of the best attributes of the star is the clear communications with Merlin, increased connections. The star for me can be used to connect with Merlin to receive blessing, healing and manifestations of magic and transformation. There have been clear signs of change, involving healing, manifestation, clairvoyance and clairsentience. Merlin may even go so far as to open new pathways for you, everyone’s different, so how this may be experienced is entirely individual. For me this is exciting times, I look forward to seeing future communications and thoughts on what Merlin has given us in the Merlin Star.”
