“… The Shift in Human Nature

You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.

In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?

Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.

What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. …”

Road that cleans the air

Paving stones, asphalt or concrete that clean the air above them. It sounds too good to be true, but it does seem to work. Mono-nitrogen oxides (NO and NO2) represent a danger to public health particularly in busy city centres. And these harmful substances could be removed almost completely from the air due to a Dutch invention.

After two years of tests in the south-eastern city of Hengelo, scientists from the Technical University of Eindhoven have heaved a sigh of relief. Their air-cleaning street paving, which was greeted with scepticism at the time, appear to work. The new road surface turns almost half of the mono-nitrogen oxides from car exhausts into harmless nitrates.

Mono-nitrogen oxides are responsible for acid rain, smog and respiratory illnesses. Ever stricter European regulations are forcing busy cities to do something about the problem.

Red brick road

The Castor Road is a very ordinary street in Hengelo. Two years ago, it was paved with red bricks. There are millions of roads made this way in the Netherlands. The red bricks may look ordinary to the naked eye, but as their inventor Götz Hüsken, who is of German origin, explains:

"The upper layer of the brick contains titanium dioxide, which is a photo catalyser essential for breaking down mono-nitrogen oxides more quickly..."

Narrow streets

In lay-man’s terms that means that it quickens the natural process in which the sun breaks down mono-nitrogen oxides when they come into contact with the titanium dioxide in the road surface. This happens by itself: the wind and turbulence caused by passing vehicles ensures that polluted air continually passes over the air-cleaning bricks.

The new road surface is therefore very suitable for cities with narrow streets and relatively high buildings. Here pollution lingers between the buildings and the busy traffic provides a lot of air turbulence so that the mono-nitrogen oxides can be treated properly.

Measurements

Professor Jos Brouwers, leader of the air-cleaning road surface project, proudly talks about the good results of air quality measurements:

"Up to now, we have made three extensive measurements since the road was laid like this, and we have measured between 25 and 45-percent reductions of mono-nitrogen oxides..."

Mr Hüsken explains what happens to the poisonous mono-nitrogen oxides:

"They change into nitrates and are simply washed off the road by rain."

Algae growth

However, nitrates are not totally harmless. Isn’t extreme algae growth in lakes caused by too many nitrates? But Mr Hüsken quickly dismisses this idea. For a start, mono-nitrogen oxides in the air are far more harmful than nitrates. Secondly, the quantity of nitrates produced are tiny. And finally, it is washed away by rainwater via the sewage system which has been coping with nitrates for many years.

Price

So at the end of the day, there are only a few disadvantages. The road surface performs just as well in terms of sound production and durability, and the air-cleaning layer of titanium dioxide can also be applied to concrete or asphalt. There is only one drawback and that is the price: an air-cleaning brick is one and a half times more expensive than an ordinary brick. But on the other hand, the material costs of a square metre of road only make up a small part of the total costs of building a road. The rest consists of digging costs, sewage, and more than anything else, man hours.

Professor Brouwers draws a clear conclusion:

"So, it is a little more expensive. But at least it is practical to apply and produces much cleaner air. That’s allowed to cost a little, isn’t it?"
