The New Year, New Renaissance: Incoming Ray 7

0

RisaNewS

We are in winter now in the northern hemisphere— a deeply interior moment of time. As 2015 unfolds humanity begins to understand its true identity (World Server), and realizes the old cannot be restored, as the last of seven Uranus/Pluto squares occurs. Uranus—all things new. Pluto—complete transformation.

A new world is emerging as the old passes away. The world’s economic adjustment will continue. It signifies the  first initiation for humanity, a new birth into new awareness and responsibility in the new Age of Aquarius. As new awareness grows, there will be a simultaneous emergence of new entrepreneurs (Uranus in Aries). The year 2015 will be the Game-Changing Year. We will remember and recover the renaissance which ended the Dark Ages for humanity (with Ray 7—the new rhythms coming in). A new electrical energy (Uranus) is coming into the Earth. The young ones will discover this energy, coining new words describing the new energy. It is beyond “alternative.”

Ancient teachings of science, long suppressed, will create breakthrough energies giving hope to humanity and the will to shape a different future. The political, governmental and financial landscapes will also change. The young will no longer be interested in government breakdowns and partisanship. We will no longer need oil, gas or coal. Without these our Mideast focus (wars) ceases. From our ancient past will emerge a renaissance.

The renaissance began as Ray 3 (divine intelligence), Ray 5 (concrete and scientific knowledge), and Ray 7 (new rhythms) entered Earth. These are once again sweeping into Earth and anchoring new archetypes. They rule the new Aquarian Age, the Age of Humanity. The old can no longer be restored. Epiphany is Tuesday. The Three Kings with their three gifts found the Holy Child.

Best Meals of 2014

Our critic recalls the most memorable local meals of the year The top slot for 2014 goes to Shadowbrook Restaurant, where we enjoyed the classic trifecta of great service, great ambience, and chef Roger Gowen’s exquisite food. A sophisticated version of fried calamari was followed by a dreamy dish of salmon cakes with ponzu sauce and...

Blubber Lovers, Glad Tidings

BLUBBER LOVERS Sea otters have had a pretty good year. One of California’s youngest captive otters, for instance, was whisked away to a cushy Chicago aquarium just this year.   The otter pup was just days old and less than 6 pounds when she was discovered by beach-goers at Half Moon Bay. After relaxing at the...

Mylo Life

Having helped to establish the Santa Cruz Americana scene, Mylo Jenkins returns with a new approach The members of Santa Cruz’s Mylo Jenkins played together for the first time in three years this past August at the Crepe Place, and were surprised at how well it went. “What was trippy about it was that it felt...

Paradise Beach Grille

Chef Scott Cater on contemporizing his already-popular menu Downtown Capitola’s Paradise Beach Grille has quite a bit going for it. There’s the ocean view from their patio, the vast selection of California wines, and let’s not forget the food. The focus is on seafood, with a style that’s a mixture of American, Hawaiian and fusion. The...

The Water Squad

Committee looks for innovative water solutions that could make Santa Cruz a model for other communities When Sue Holt heard in 2013 that a new Santa Cruz city water committee was in need of members, she wanted in. The retired Cabrillo College instructor felt she could bring a unique perspective to the city’s Water Supply Advisory...

The Fight for Selma

Local activist recounts her experiences in the most violently segregated county in Alabama during the civil rights movement Forty-nine years ago, a white 19-year-old girl from Sonoma County got into a rental car with a small group of college students and drove to the most violently segregated county in Alabama. “It was a war zone,” Maria...

Too Soon?

The Year in Review In 2014 Santa Cruz stunk. Not in metaphorical way, either—from fish die-offs to a drought-induced bathing downturn, we literally smelled bad. Hopefully one day we can all look back and laugh about it, so why not today? Yes, as is our dearly held tradition, our staff went back and collected the strangest...

Santa Gets Real

In a rare interview, pop-up artist of the year Santa Claus reveals what he really thinks of reindeer When I interview Santa Claus in his winter workshop, he still has remnants of the tan he acquires each year in Hawaii, where he spends the summer and fall reading trashy novels and surfing. He is surrounded by...

Let My People Go

There’s a lot to like in Ridley Scott’s maligned ‘Exodus’ It’s a Biblical epic done the George Bernard Shaw way—throw the agnostics a bone, and suggest that religious zealots are a threat to an orderly functioning society. Exodus: Gods and Kings is a rich, gilded, crisply digitalized pagan spectacle in sharp 3D. Haters are blind to...
