Great post, Bill--and brilliant observations, Krena!
I'm a solid Kryon/Lee fan and have been for about three years or so. I've listened to scores, if not hundreds of his channelings, read nearly all his books, and even met Lee in person. I attended one of his weekend "workshops" last year when he presented in my area and had a
wonderful time. It wasn't until I actually met Lee and listened to a channeling in person that I truly gained a full appreciation for Kryon and his work. Lee is a very kind, approachable man and I have no doubt that he (and Kryon) are the genuine article.
Like you Bill, I had some initial skepticism and reservations about the material and Lee's delivery. There were times in the beginning where I felt his tone and energy seemed a bit like a TV evangelist...LOL!

In fact, at the time I was very suspicious about channeled material altogether. As I grew more confident in my own discernment however--that is, my own ability to pick out the things that felt true or accurate to me, I began to open more and more to the possibilities presented by the material. Like Krena so wisely suggests, it wasn't long before I was able to see past my own biases and open myself to not just the wisdom of the messages, but their energy as well.
The thing that resonates so much with me about Kryon's material (and Lee's delivery--now that I've gotten used to it), is that his messages are always quite supportive and loving. Lee (and Kryon) have a good sense of humor and there's a gentle humility about both of them that I really appreciate. I've never heard a message from either that doesn't empower, inspire, or encourage the readers or listeners to move beyond their own limitations. I also find a great deal of comfort in Kryon's frequent acknowledgment that we are
all family and that we are all known to one another on the other side of "The Veil".
While there is a some material that I don't fully appreciate (some of the technicalities regarding DNA, etc.--those details just aren't "my thing") Kryon's material has helped me find a much greater understanding of the concepts of multi-dimensionality, non-linear thinking, and the flexibility of time.
Lee will be back in my area early next year and I'm very much looking forward to seeing him in person again.
If you have any questions about Lee or Kryon's material, please feel free to ask. I'm pretty familiar with most of it and I'd be more than happy (as always--<GRIN>) to share my thoughts if I can be of help!
