Camelot: A dimension of Power

    The destiny of the world is guided from inner dimensions. That guidance
has sometimes been called The White Brotherhood, which is somewhat
inadequate, for it conjurs visions of monks. The best way to understand it
is as a non-judgemental, compassionate light/energy that does not infringe,
yet supplies inspiration to the earth plane.
      The physical planet, that lump of rock hurtling through space, is a
manifestation of an inner energy, as your body is an outer physical
manifestation of your inner emotions, feelings, and thoughts.
     It has a destiny and that destiny is assisted by the non-judgemental
light/energy. But that does not mean the energy is there to make things
comfortable for man; quite the reverse.

Balance and Imbalance

Negativity, war, famine, disease, are a part of the learning  process of the
physical plane. They are good. They serve us. They allow us to understand
balance and imbalance and that is the key to setting us free. For it is
difficult to appreciate freedom until you have been a part of restriction.
    The way that you go beyond that restriction is to dominate the
physical on an energy level. This means going beyond the limitations of the
mind, controlling the health of your body, and having enough money so
that circumstances do not control you.
      Because tribal belief patterns are so strong and the negativity of the
physical so prevalent, from time to time in the history of man the
spiritual evolution of the planet has literally wound down. Man, feeling no
inspiration beyond day to day living, has descended into barbaric ways. 
     The light/energy, or Brotherhood, understanding the need for the
evolutionary cycle to continue, has arranged for energy infusions. They
are times of power coming from inner dimensions through to the physical
plane to assist mankind beyond his limitations.

Energy Infusions from Other Worlds
 
     The first of these energy influxes was in 3300 B.C., in China, in the
reign of the legandary Yellow Emperor. It was a time of great learning. The
people developed the rudiments of study and writing and they had many
sophisticated beliefs. The shamans, or priests, would warm tortoise shells in
a fire and then pour cold water on them. The way the shell cracked
allowed the shaman an extra-sensory perception which he used to fortell
the future.
      The next significant energy input was in 700 B.C. There appeared in
Northern Italy a group of people known as the Etruscans. They developed
plumbing and heating and became famous for their pottery and art. Among
them were three initiates who developed healing temples based on 'etheric'
energy, which is more sophisticated than any healing we have today. It
was the Etruscans that allowed the Roman Empire its great glory - they
changed the destiny of the known world.
         Around 500 B.C. a number of masters all appeared at the same time;
Lao Tzu, Buddha, Zoroaster, to name a few. They laid the groundwork for
what was to come later and gave the world its metaphysical perceptions.
From then on man believed in the existence of a divine presence beyond
the harshness of every day living.

England in 600 A.D.
 
     The next major energy infusion came in late 600 A.D. There appeared in
what is now Southern England an initiate. He came out of the forest. He
understood metaphysical energy and had a power that had not been seen
for a thousand years.
     He travelled from town to town looking for people that showed a spark
of individuality - people that would basically not be missed by society. He
began to teach this unique group metaphysical laws and he subtly changed
their attributes and perspectives without infringing on them.
     The initiate was called Merlin.

The Foggy Valley called Camelot

    He created a society in Southern England, that the writers eventually
called Camelot. It was not a castle but a foggy valley surrounded by briar
bushes. In the valley was a crystal cave that Merlin used as his energy
base. 
     The people he pulled to him entered into the valley as a dimension of
learning. They became strong and very disciplined. They spent their time
training horses by blindfolding them and running them in and out of the
bushes. As Merlin's students became more powerful they were sent out into
the land. They became the healers, the leaders, and they taught the
people chivalry and law.
     They righted injustice and overthrew tyrants, and in spite of the
chaos of the Dark Ages they brought to England a tranquility that was
felt; that inspired others.
       The leader of the group was called Arthur. He did not become the
king of the country, he just led Merlins's small band. But, because of the
power that Camelot created, Arthur became a legend in his own time. Great
exploits were credited to him and he was revered as a great knight and
leader.

Arthur, Lancelot and Guinevere

     The initiate, Merlin, told Arthur of the coming of Lancelot. It was a
vital factor in the balance of Camelot. Lancelot represented that little bit
of acidity or negativity that is needed as a part of all positivity. Lancelot
was to challenge Arthur in every way, for they were equally strong. And
it was Lancelot's energy that eventually caused Camelot to fall - a factor
foreseen by Merlin.
    When Arthur was ready, Merlin sent him to find a wife, Guinevere. 
And once that union took place, Arthur had completed his training. It was
then that Merlin provided Arthur with the sword, Excalibur.

Excalibur and its Power

     Excalibur became the source of Arthur's strength. The sword symbolizes
the power of the Higher Self, that 'all-knowing' that comes  forward
provided you are in control of your emotions. This is represented in the
story as the sword coming out of the placid lake.
	    The power that developed through the teaching of Merlin is felt to
this day. He taught a respect for nature and he believed in the equality
of all men and women. The concept of the 'fair maid' and the respect that
the knights show for femininity came as a result of Merlin's teachings. He
re-established an enthusiasm in people and he gave them law and chivalry.
The knights word became his bond and that power allowed the country to
become one of the strongest trading nations in the history of the world;
and Empire of knights trading on trust and honor.

Merlin's Energy Today

     Merlin's energy exists today. The search for his power is basically the
search for his power is basically the search for the Holy Grail, that
metaphysical power that allows you to perceive dimensions beyond the
earth plane, the power of the silent initiate ...
