By the author Jules Kennedy: After the September 11, 2001 tragedy it came to my attention that I had been channeling short pieces (articles) throughout the previous three years, which related to the consciousness that people will need to attain in order for life on this planet to evolve, thus preventing total annihilation of the planet and her people. These are simple yet informative dissertations about consciousness and how we must change to fit the new perceptual schematic. The Risen: Valuable Information for Present Day Consciousness is a compilation of these articles that I have channeled over recent years. The first section of articles, "Knowledge Of" pertains to processes that each individual needs to look at within Self in order to understand and determine how to go about this next phase of living in our day. Section two, "Messages Over Time", is a series of channelings given to provide a timeline of information leading up to this day, and also into our future. And the last section, "Energy and Light Work Initiation", takes the individual to new heights of awareness, causing energy shifts and fluxes important for living in our present day consciousness. One cannot overlook the fact that we are in a new era. We are traversing from a world consciousness that is competitive and hungry for power and rulership, to a world consciousness construct requiring peace, love and harmony among the people. It will be a grand time to be here on this earth, to discover the joys of living a peaceful existence together. It is my hope that, with messages like these to spur certain people into action, those that have not yet been allowed to act upon the inspirations within the heart and soul. My first article within "Knowledge Of" section explains the channeling process. Many energy sources (voices, groups, from beyond my personal consciousness, yet within my consciousness) are represented in this text. Please enjoy with an open mind and an open heart.
