The Elyrian Emergence by Dannye Williamsen

Located in the Andromeda Galaxy, the planet Galen is unique in that it hosts only one country: Elyria. The principles on which this civilization was founded many centuries ago is demonstrated by the choice of names for the planet and their country. Galen means calm, and Elyria blessed place.

Escaping from their ancient planet before it imploded as the result of the destructive policies in place, the mission of the Founders, those who orchestrated the means of escape, was to develop a civilization based on the philosophy of Self-Emergence.

On the surface, it seems to be working until the Karons, the sensitives who monitor the global energies, detect a negative shift in consciousness. The Karons’ visions wake those in charge from their complacency and send them scrambling to curb the decline engineered by someone with an inordinate amount of power.

The questions this team of people find themselves asking are these: Can we stop this before it’s too late? How could we have not seen how vulnerable we are?
​
The ultimate question, however, is whether Elyria will wake up and realize that Self-Emergence is a forever journey, one where fear of the mistakes of the ancient planet have no place.

On a personal note...
The Elyrian Emergence is science fiction, but the psychological struggles of the main characters, Milo, DeLana, Dylan, and Humphrey, are as real as those with which you and I often struggle. The darker forces will always be there in our lives, and conscious choice is required to avoid their influence. Unfortunately, we can sometimes, in our complacency, fail to understand that good and evil create a balance. The power, the shift in the balance, comes from our choices: choosing good over evil or evil over good.
