New Currency (Aurum) To Replace Dollar [Video]

Understanding the Aurum

aurumA fractional gram’s worth of gold is affixed to layers of polyester, creating a note called an “Aurum” similar in dimension and thickness to a U.S. dollar bill. This gold (usually 1/10th or 1/20th of a gram) is commercially recoverable. So an Aurum offers similar potential as a coin or bar, in terms of providing a vehicle for storing and exchanging known, dependable increments of precious metals just in much smaller (and more affordable) amounts than commercially available to date.

The big idea here? In a world where a 1oz coin of gold costs over $1,200, an Aurum will let you hold a few dollars’ worth of gold in a single note. If you’ve got pocket change, you can be a precious metals owner.

And you don’t have to change your behavior. You can store and transport an Aurum in your billfold along with your dollars.

India To Plant 2 Billion Trees Along Highways, Employ 300,000 Young People

TreesIndiaNow this is one jobs plan I can get on board with! Are you reading, Congress? Of course you aren’t.

India’s Rural Development Ministry has recognized two problems: youth unemployment and bad air quality. But they’ve decided to kill two birds with one stone – to plant 2 billion trees and hire up to 300,000 of the nation’s youth to do it.

“The length of National Highways in the country is one lakh kilometer [about 62,137 miles]. I have asked officials to come out with a plan to plant 200 crore [2 billion] trees along these stretches which in turn would create jobs for the unemployed on the one hand and protect the environment on the other,” said Shipping and Rural Development Minister Nitin Jairam Gadkari.

Recent studies have shown that tree leaves can capture a surprisingly large amount of particulate pollution. From TreeHugger:

Joe Martino ~ 8 Things To Remember When You Think You’re Not Good Enough

“When you understand how your belief systems work, you can also learn how to kick them.” – J Martino

WomanAthleteNotGoodEnoughNegative self talk is something that seems to affect all of us at one time or another. I know I can say myself that it has been a problem in my past, and even now still creeps up on me from time to time.

We all have different reasons as to why we might think we are not good enough inside, whether it be because we think we can’t do something, we haven’t achieved enough or that we simply don’t have all the skills to make something happen. We may go through hard times or challenges and make them even harder as we start telling ourselves a series of stories as to how we got in this “mess” to begin with.

“I always have this happen to me.” “I will never be able to achieve what I want.” “It’s too hard for me to change.” “Others have it easier than me and are capable of more.”

The bottom line is, no matter what stories we tell ourselves, we can overcome any challenge we face as we wouldn’t be in it if we couldn’t overcome it. But, like you, I have been through a number of challenges in my life and have learned a lot along the way about overcoming these stories and that’s what I want to share today.

1. Your Mind Will Trick You & Even Scare You

I think back to when CollectiveEvolution (CE) was first getting started. I was still working a job and I wanted to take things full time and really expand CE to the next level. Many of my friends and family already thought much of what I shared through CE was “weird” simply because it was different and challenged them. Leaving a good job to run a website wasn’t something many thought could work and because of the constant words of discouragement, I believed that at times too.

Simion ~ Eight Gateways 2015

SunRadiatingLinesWe will speak of the significance and energy behind 2015 as a numerological Eight year which is determined by adding the numbers in the year together.  There is deep meaning in the way this energy of 8 will play out in the events of the year and you can consciously use the eight trends to your advantage.

As an 8 year, 2015 is a gateway to 2016 that follows as a number 9 year of completion, followed by 2017, a number 1 year for new beginnings.  What happens in this 8 year will influence what is completed next year and hence what is started anew in 2017. Thus, it is of particular importance to your lives ahead.

In order to keep you focused and yet open to creative thought as to how the 2015 frequencies of number eight can unfold, we will give you eight considerations to ponder related to this potent number and its meaning.

The corresponding number associated with each of the eight energies is significant.  If you observe the relationships therein, and how the ideas relate to the way the number 8 is written, it may help you reference the 8 insights

  1. Eights the Gate.  Eight is a Gateway for the future, but determined in the now and influencing the past.  What is brought to the forefront now will determine what is completed through the cycle of nine.
  2. Eight is a Paradox.  8 encompasses the paradoxes of the Law of Two.  Meaning one can see that opposites are simply alternate angles of one cycle, or a circle.  This can be seen in the way the number 8 is written.  It appears as two parts, but they can easily be twisted and opened into a circle, where what seemed separate and opposing becomes all the same.
