Rising As One Mission Statement

Rising As One is a group of individuals who came together, to create opportunities through awareness for communication and education between the Human race and their Universal family.
Rising As One, through preparation, will be focusing on promoting responsibility, accountability, understanding and respect through the Human race when interaction takes place during mass contact.
Rising As One acknowledges that mass contact has already taken place on Earth.
Rising As One acknowledges from the heart that we are members of the Universal Family.

   How It Began
Rising As One was formed in the earlier part of 2009 by Virginia Cervantes, Stacey Wright and Jim Mann.  All three founding members have had galactic experiences in one capacity or another.  All were passionate about having a free and safe dialogue to discuss our universal connections.

Since they all believed we have been and continue to be visited by extraterrestrials, their objective was to provide support and understanding for people to share these experiences as well as to determine how we could prepare earth for mass contact that will be accepted by the masses. They believe that earth needs to raise its consciousness for the benefit of all beings in the universe.

Inspired by this realization, a friend suggested to her that a conference could benefit the general public by allowing them to speak freely of their extraterrestrial experiences without being ridiculed, harassed or made to feel embarrassed.  Virginia shared this idea with Stacey and Jim who enthusiastically embraced it especially given their longstanding work in the UFO field.

On April 26th,  2009 their first meeting took place. This would eventually lead to organizing a group called Rising As One. There are now eight members of Rising As One and their first conference will be taking place April 10, 2010.

Rising As One is on a Galactic journey.
We hope you will join us!

Embrace the stars, they shine for you
let the Light of their being set a blaze
Create your black diamond Universe anew
set a sparkle of Light against the craze

Mirror Lightpoints canopy of amber hue
pinpoint reflections on iris gaze
A flash across the rich coal hue
distant families arc hellos from future haze

Echo messages, rare and true
hyperspace text on crop fields graze
Here's looking at me, Kid, looking at you
your shrouded magnificence we praise

Appreciate life as Mother Earth crew
Stellar families observe truly amazed
You think you are alone in the primordial dew
You are not, we are here for always

Look to the Stars, our Lightships flew
kindred patience forged eon's maze
Our desire to return home to the us that is you
At long last there will be better days
