Today, March 1, 2012, marks the change in Google’s privacy policy or, um, perhaps “piracy” policy would be a better way to put it, as everything you do on Google-owned internet sites, including your gmail account if you have one, will now be tracked and traced in a more invasive manner than ever before. This tracking is not new news—cookies are commonplace on the internet—but the insidiousness of it is.

From a Huffington Post article, linked to below, comes this statement: “But the policy being introduced Thursday will help Google develop richer profiles of its users, cobbled together from data about what videos they’ve watched on YouTube, what their Gmail emails say, what searches they perform and which topics they follow on Google+.”

So what is really at stake here? Well, starting today, corporations are pirating your internet activity with the intention of bombarding you with ads, suggestions, emails, and ploys for your attention like never before. In fact, Google is the wiley Trickster in disguise! And, as of today, you cannot opt out! Since we write so much about the Trickster we thought we’d put out a warning.

Here it is: Don’t be fooled by what you might perceive as synchronicity—something showing up in your email for instance just as you are planning a big event in your life—for it may not be the universe supporting or encouraging you but Trickster Google and the greedy moguls seeking your attention, time and, of course, your dollars.

This has in fact been going on for some time now—it’s how the internet works after all—but even European regulators are questioning the validity of this further invasion in privacy, apparently more concerned with its citizens rights to privacy than here in America.

Note that real synchronicities, real signs from infinity do not come via the internet, they come through you, through your deep and heart-felt knowing that something is right. Trust that and avoid the greedy Trickster.

Who’s tracking you? Here are some links regarding this news from Huffington Post and the concerns from Europeans as well as a note from Firefox that may be helpful.

Chuck’s Blog Chuck’s Place will be posted later in the day at the insistence of the tiger of intent, a Magical Pass that teaches us how to walk into new life like a shaman!

Just wanted to make a shameless plug for The Book of Us, which is on Amazon in a new Kindle version at the very reasonable price of 99 cents. It looks better too now—Kindle having updated their digital formatting process since we first published it in 2008.

If you haven’t read it—Chuck and Jeanne’s story—you might enjoy it! There are some especially great chapters on working through the difficulties in their relationship that I think everyone should read.

To access The Book of Us, click on the icon in the left sidebar which will take you to Amazon and then click on the Kindle version. Easy enough!

Oh, and have you seen our new Main page? I’ll be back in the morning with a new blog post! -Jan

October 29, 2011 brought us a major snowfall. We got 18 inches of snow on our little mountaintop while the village of Red Hook, a mere three miles down the road, got just a few. The other day’s dusting was just a warmup. Our power is out, but with our trusty iPad we should be able to have a channeled message posted as usual on Monday. Readers of Infinity will check in tomorrow. Enjoy the sunny day!

Jan and Chuck

If you’ve been waiting for the paperback version of Jan’s book it was recently loaded on Amazon. Not all details are completed but you can place an order. Here is the link to the paperback version: The Man in the Woods.

Keep in mind that it is an adult book, containing adult content. We’d also love it if you’d be so kind as to write a review on the Amazon page and let others know about the book. It is already benefiting many people who have been in the midst of recapitulating. Jan is very open and revealing. She doesn’t hold back in describing and exploring the struggles of her youthful self at a most vulnerable and painful time. It is, in actuality, a very universal story of the human struggle to survive and thrive, and even more than that.

Thanks for reading!
