Major corporations are working right now to install tiny tracking devices on all consumer products, find if we fail to oppose these practices now say authors and activists Albrecht and Mclntyre, our future may look like something from a terrifying sci-fi novel — it will be 1984 in 2010.

Combining massive amounts of research With firsthand reporting. Spychips explains the new RFID technology [which couples radio frequency with highly miniaturized computers] And reveals the history and future of the master planners' strategies to imbed these trackers on everything — from postage stamps to shoes to people themselves — and spy on Americans without our knowledge or consent. This seemingly innocuous commercial maneuver will inevitably turn our society into a Big Brother nightmare.

Analysts envision a time when the system will be used to identify and track every item on the planet, including you. This book is a clarion call to take action now—to protect our privacy and civil liberties before it's too late.

KATHERINE ALBRECHT is the founder and director of CASPIAN [Consumers Against Supermarket Privacy Invasion and Numbering]. A Harvard doctoral researcher. Albrecht has emerged as one of the leading voices for privacy in today's fast changing, high-tech world, providing over a thousand media interviews and testifying on RFID before lawmakers around the globe. Executive Technology magazine calls Katherine "perhaps the country's single most vocal privacy advocate" and Wired magazine has dubbed her the "Erin Brockovich" of RFID.

LIZ MCINTVRE is CASPIAN'S communications director and the master strategist for many of the organization's most successful campaigns. As a former bank examiner and CPA, Mclntyre brings meticulous research skills and a keen investigative eye to her reporting on corporate policy-making and bureaucratic misdeeds. Mclntyre is perhaps best known for her lively, accessible treatment of technical topics as the MoneyMom, a family money writer and columnist.

"A masterpiece..."

From the foreword by Bruce Sterling

Big Brother gets up close and personal

Do you know about RFID [Radio Frequency identification]? Well, you should, because in just a few short years, this explosive new technology could tell marketers, criminals, and government snoops everything about you.

Welcome to the world of spychips, where tiny computer chips smaller than a grain of sand will track everyday objects — and even people — keeping tabs on everything you own and everywhere you go. In this startling, eye-opening book, you'll learn how powerful corporations are planning a future where:

· Strangers will be able to scan the contents of your purse or briefcase from across a room.

· Stores will change prices as you approach — squeezing extra profits out of bargain shoppers and the poor.

· The contents of your refrigerator and medicine cabinet will be remotely monitored.

· Floors, doorways, ceiling tiles, and even picture frames will spy on you — leaving virtually no place to hide.

· Microchip implants will track your every move-and even broadcast your conversations remotely or electroshock you if you step out of line.

This is no conspiracy theory. Hundreds of millions of dollars have already been invested in what global corporations and the governments are calling "the hottest new technology since the bar code." Unless we stop it now, RFID could strip away our last shreds of privacy and usher in a nightmare world of total surveillance — to keep us all on Big Brother's very short leash.

Its commonly accepted that science and spirituality are not compatible. Science is considered our reliable way forward, while spirituality often regarded as a sentimental relic of our past we cant quite let go of. So to say it is necessary for the two to work together may seem unrealistic. For centuries, science has led our progress; spirituality, as indicated through participation in orthodox religion has been in steady decline. But the unorganized, personal aspect of spirituality is the subjective pursuit of value, reality, and understanding through individual experience or consciousness. This aspect of spirituality has not declined. Instead, the drive to find external solutions to global problems that have value to our interior world is more powerful than ever. The scale of our planets problems is too great to be solved without an integrated approach of science and spirituality. The power of consciousness needs the systemization of the scientific method, and the tools of science depend on the wisdom and creativity of individual consciousness to guide it in a meaningful direction.

More and more scientists are recognizing this need. In part because fundamental science has come to a place where the ultimate questions of matter and creation cannot be understood unless consciousness is accounted for and factored in. Consciousness may well be the common ground on which the objective and subjective worlds are derived and united. With this vision, scientists have begun to meet and discuss solutions to global issues of health, hunger, conflict resolution, climate change, and economic injustice from a perspective that joins science and spirituality.

The Sages and Scientists Symposium sponsored by the Chopra Foundation is just one of these gatherings and it will be held August 22-24, 2014 in Carlsbad California. It will bring together not only eminent scientists but also leading lights in spirituality based in the development of consciousness. Spirituality is rooted in the idea that a transcendent reality exists beyond the external realm of the senses. This is pure consciousness, the source of the subjective world or the mind as well the objective world of matter.

But the symposium talks are not focused on abstract questions of what preceded the Big Bang, or what is the nature of dark matter. Presentations are aimed at finding practical solutions for pressing issues like Alzheimers, clean water, obesity, womens rights, hunger, and diabetes. Our future depends on the concerted effort of science and spirituality working together, because separately, neither has been up to the monumental task. Science works fine in everyday affairs without dealing with spirituality. And on the other side, spirituality can continue serving peoples spiritual needs as they go through their individual insights, crises and awakenings. However, unless the two views join forces, we wont be using our full human capability to solve problems. Such a comprehensive human effort is precisely what global solutions require. Beyond providing a platform for addressing humanitys problems, the joint efforts of science and spirituality promises to be the foundation for the next evolutionary leap in human potential.

The First Step to Finding Your Identity - A New Earth - Oprah Winfrey Network - Video

By Anthony Meindl | Posted May 7, 2014, 3 p.m.

Ive lectured about this innumerable times and yet life keeps showing me (and therefore I must keep reminding myself), that when we wait, were really just postponing possibility.

Possibility for what? For everything!

For the life thats waiting for us, once we take our finger off the pause button.

I think the general rule of thumb is that if youre still talking about doing something a year after you originally thought of it or expressed it or shared it with a friend, then youre postponing for some reason, and sometimes it takes some self-awareness to realize why that is.

Fear. Fear can be quite stealthy and seductive. It can mask itself in many different ways, and if were not vigilant in staying awake to it, fear can take on forms that give us a good explanation, excuse, or out clause for not doing something.

And not only not doing something right now, but not doing it potentially ever. Before we know it, months or years go by without us taking any action, and we seem to move further and further away from what we want because of lots of reasonable-sounding rationalizations.

You know the ones: Youre not ready. You dont have enough money. You need new headshots first. You have to lose 10 pounds. You dont want to appear desperate. You need to let the other person call you first. Youve never done it before. You cant do it alone. You dont know how its going to turn out. Its too hard so why even bother? Your parents dont think you should. Youre not even sure how.

When you start to moveliterally move your body, your spirit, your thoughts, your paradigms, your conversations around the things you desirepossibilities come into focus. All of a sudden, that which seems so far away magically appears tangible and real. Things may still take time, but by getting active and actually doing the thing that scares you, you start to put into motion a whole series of serendipitous events that move you forward in the direction of what it is that you want.

But its up to you; No one can make the call for you, or go to the audition, or ask someone out, or take the vacation, or sign up for a gym membership, or decide that you can do it.
