Power, power, power… 🙂 What is it, where does it come from, and what do we do with it?
力量、力量、力量…它究竟是甚麼，它從哪裡來，我們可以用力量做甚麼？
When you think of power, what immediately comes to mind?
Make a list of people who you think are powerful:
當你想到力量，你立刻浮現腦海的是什麼？
列出一份你認為有力量之人的名單:

🙂 Beautiful work. 做得很好.
Here is a list of 10 people considered powerful by Forbes:
以下是＜富比世雜誌＞認為有力量權勢的十個人:
- Vladmir Putin (Russian president) 普丁(俄羅斯總統)
- Angela Merkel (German president) 梅克爾(德國總理)
- Barack Obama (American president) 歐巴馬(美國總統)
- Pope Francis (Roman Catholic Church) 教宗方濟 Imagine… Still?
- Xi Jinping 习近平 (Chinese President) 習近平(中共總書記)
- Bill Gates (Microsoft) 比爾蓋茲(前微軟總裁)
- Janet Yellen (head of the Federal Reserve) 葉倫(聯準會主席)
- David Cameron (Prime Minister of the UK) 卡麥隆(英國首相)
- Narendra Modi (Prime Minister of India) 莫迪(印度總理)
- Larry Page (CEO of Google) 佩吉(谷歌總裁)
When you read this list, how do you feel?
Notice that the common denominator of each of these people, who are the top 0.0000001% (that’s 7 people of 7,000,000,000), is that they really do have the power to change the physical and economical lives of the general population, and any one individual. After reading this list of powerful people, do you feel any inner stirrings? Any buzzes, elation, inspiration? Can you feel your own body and soul come alive and fill with a sense of power?
當你讀完這份名單時，你感覺如何？
注意這些人的比例，他們都是最頂端的數十億分之一(也就是70億人中的7人)，他們真的有能力改變普羅大眾或是個人的物質或是經濟生活嗎？當你讀完這份有力量之人的名單後，你是否發現一些隱藏其中的蛛絲馬跡？一些靈感、悸動、啟發。你是否能感受到你自己的身體和靈魂重新甦醒並充滿了一種力量？
Their powerful positions are all about how to run, manipulate, and direct humanity by using human resources and earth resources. And this isn’t all bad. But how do they lead and teach? Are we all one family to them? Are they working together with us? For us? Their official title, after all, is civil servant.
他們有力量的位置都是關於如何驅動、操作並運用人類或地球資源導正人性。而這些不一定都是不好的，但他們如何領導及教學？我們和他們都是一家人嗎？他們和我們一起工作嗎？為我們嗎？畢竟他們的官方頭銜是「公僕」。
This is José Mujica, the ex-president of Uruguay. He’s a beautiful and wise man with the strength to endure hardship for the betterment of society and community. Enjoy the video! 🙂
這位是烏拉圭前總統穆希卡（José Mujica），他是為美善且正直的人，並有力量去忍受艱困，以改善社會與群體。請欣賞這段影片！
Is there anything that comes up as a result of the video? Jot down your thoughts here:

In addition to sacrificing for the land and the people, José also has the courage to live fully and freely. But isn’t that how it is? Living fully is living freely despite fear of harsh repercussions, and in turn affecting massive positive change for others? I’m not advocating a full self-sacrifice for the cause of the earth and humanity, although this has been the chosen destiny of some. But certainly at least for our one life, let’s live fully in our power, unrestrained at least by our own fears!
除了為土地和人民犧牲，穆希卡也有勇氣去活得完全及自由。但不在於它是如何的？活得完全就是儘管害怕惡劣反響仍活得自由，並反過來對他人造成巨大的正面影響？我不鼓吹為了地球及人類的福祉做完全的自我犧牲，雖然這已是少數人註定的命運。但確定的是至少在我們自己的生活裡，讓我們在自己的力量中活得完全，至少在自己的恐懼中活得自在。
Back to the subject of power, here’s an audio-visual of another kind of power; vibrant inner presence expressing itself via voice, face, and body. You will love watching this video. You will love how you feel afterwards. 🙂 You will want some if this. Enjoy!
回到力量的主題，這裡有另一種形式力量的視聽影片，是藉由聲音、表情及肢體展現內在的活力。你會喜歡看這影片的，你看完後勢必會愛上它。你將需要一些這樣的氛圍，享受吧！
How did you feel while watching it? Does it move you? 當你在看這影片時有何感受？它是否有撼動你？

Does it make you feel powerful and want to participate in gatherings like this with fiery aliveness and energized people? Does it make you want to become more alive and energized yourself? Unleashed, untamed, wild and powerful! Imagine a country full of people who made things happen, who actively worked towards making a city, a country, a world they wished to live in? And dear leaders, does this threaten you? Or excite you??? 🙂
這影片是否讓你覺得很有活力並想要加入這樣朝氣蓬勃的群體？是否讓你想把自己變成更有活力及生氣的人？躍動、不羈、野性及充滿力量！想像一個國家充滿了這樣的人，積極地工作組成他們希望居住一個城市、一個國家、一個世界。親愛的領導者，這是否有讓你倍感威脅，抑或倍感興奮呢？
As you can tell, dear readers, this is not written for you peaceful majority. This isn’t written for the rebels, the free thinkers, the intellectuals, or the enlightened, either. This isn’t even written for abusers, terrorizers, haters, and war mongers. This is written for leaders of countries, world leaders. This is written for you, the 0.0000007% (that’s 49 people of 7,000,000,000). 親愛的讀者，如你們所知，這並不是寫給你們和平的大多數人。這也不是寫給叛亂者、自由思想者、知識分子或開明者。這更不是寫給濫用者、恐怖分子、憎恨者及軍火販子。這是寫給國家和世界的領導者，這是寫給你的，那幾十億分之七（70億人中的49人）。
When a people collectively have been used to something for so long, they often don’t ask for change.
當一個民族集體性地習慣一些事太久，他們通常不會要求改變。
Think about the nearest river to you. How polluted is it? Who are the main polluters and what are the main pollutants? How long has it been this way? Do you consider this rivers yours? Or a part of you? Or do you consider the apartment you own or rent yours, or a part of you?
Has it occurred to you that this Earth is yours, and you are the Earth’s? That the Great Mother whose dust you came from, and will return to, is apart of you, and you of her? And with this in mind, you are of the earth and the earth is of you. And so it is that this place is truly YOUR home, and you are HER beautiful, deserving child.
想一下離你最近的一條河流，它的汙染有多嚴重了？誰是主要的汙染者，什麼又是主要的汙染源？這樣的情況有多久了？你認為這河流是你的嗎？或你的一部分？你認為你的公寓是你所擁有的或是你承租的，或你的一部分？你是否曾想過地球是你的？而你也是地球的？你生於萬物之母的一縷塵埃，將來亦須回歸塵土，是你的一部分，或你屬於她？將此銘記於心，你在地球之中，地球亦在你之中。所以這個地方確實是你的家，而你也是她美麗、熱切的小孩。
The majority of people don’t think change is possible. They don’t think the “dirty-river-reality” will ever change to “clean-river-reality”. They might not even know such a change could exist… I mean, who has ever seen a clean river these days?
And so currently a person may be adversely affected by the smelly, dirty river; they may complain; they may even know and list the causes and harms. But only the minority ask earnestly and ceaselessly for this change until it happens.
大部分的人不認為改變是可能的。他們不認為骯髒的河流有朝一日會變回乾淨的河流。他們甚至不曉得這樣的改變是可能存在的，我的意思是，誰曾在現今看過乾淨的河流？現在人們可能會受惡臭的、骯髒的河流影響，他們可能會抱怨，他們甚至會知道並列舉出原因及傷害。但卻只有少數人努力積極地尋求改變治理的方法。
Who are these people who ask for change?
– People who deeply feel the harm done,
– people who are awake,
– people who are accessing their power and bravery, and
– people who want better for themselves and others, including plants, animals, rivers, oceans, streams, forests, ecosystems, and Earth as a whole.
是哪些人尋求改變呢？
–那些深刻感受到傷害造成的人
–覺醒的人
–體現力量及勇敢的人
–想為他們自己及他人，包括植物、動物、河流、海洋、河流、森林、生態系統以至於整個地球尋求更好環境的人。
Often when change happens in people’s immediate environment people are either pleasantly surprised and go about their business, or they’re dismayed and go about their business. But how often do we make changes both in our own lives and our outer world. Are changes happening to us, is life happening on us, are we just going along with what we’re delivered without question, or, are we active participants in creating a life we would like to live?
Again. Power… What is it, where does it come from, and what do we do with it? 🙂
大部分的情況下，當改變發生在人們立即的環境時，人們要不是非常喜悅驚訝地參與其中，便是沮喪地勉強執行。但我們多久一次為我們自己的生活和外在的世界共同帶來改變呢？改變發生在我們身上，是否就如同命運降臨般，我們是否就是毫無疑問地順從，或是成為一個積極的參與者，創造一個我們想過的生活呢？
再重問一次，力量…它究竟是甚麼，它從哪裡來，我們可以用力量做甚麼？
Much love and encouragement, that we all would get better acquainted with our own individual fire, that inextinguishable and unending source of power within us that we can refill from being in connection with the earth below us and what is above us, which altogether propels us towards our own, and collective, greatness.
豐沛的愛與鼓勵，能為我們的心火注入力量，在我們體內永不消滅且無止盡的力量，將使我們重新建立與腳下土地和頂上芎蒼的鏈結，驅使我們成為一個完整的、集體的偉大。
How?
For those who, no matter how hard you try, you fall back into the same patterns: you leak your power; you give it away; you have relationships that drain or suppress your power; you are one to steal power from others because you think power is finite… Resultingly, you lose your direction, you have less energy, and you are living for others, you aren’t living your purpose, then: get a coach and regularly see someone who facilitates healing in the energy (chakra) system to clear blocks. It’s extremely effective and sometimes takes care of physical health problems while you’re at it, for overall improved vitality, and increased joy in life.
I highly recommend Julie Williams. Her email: juliequantum@gmail.com and website: www.quantum-evolution.com.
該如何辦到呢？
對你們而言，無論你們再怎麼努力，你還是會落入原本的相同的模式，你漏失你的力量，你將力量交出，你的人際關係會抑制你的力量並使你的力量用盡，你從他人那竊取力量因為你認為力量是有限的。結果，你失去了你的方向，你擁有較少能量，你為他人而活，你沒有為了自己的人生目標而活。所以，找一個導師定期地審視你、治療你身上的能量（查克拉）流動系統吧。這非常地有效，有些人甚至在這樣的治療過程中改善了身體的問題，並增加了活力，提升了生活的喜悅。
我高度地推薦茱莉．威廉斯（Julie Williams），她的電子郵件：juliequantum@gmail.com及網站：www.quantum-evolution.com.
And then, spend time with individuals and groups who positively feed and encourage strong, happy energy! Create better days for yourself.
並且，花時間與那些正面傳遞能量及鼓勵的個人或團體相處，快樂的能量，為你自己創造更好的日子。加油!
P.S. Taiwan is getting 95% or more of her energy from imports of unsustainable, dirty energy sources. The creation of programs for renewable resources could help Taiwan and her citizens become energy independent, and therefore boost a sense of power and self-determination for politicians and citizens as they become less dependent on other nations.
註一：
台灣百分之九十五的能量來自於進口不環保的、骯髒的能源。創造再生能源的計畫能使台灣及其公民達成能源獨立，並在國家無法完全獨立自主時，為當權者及公民帶來力量及自我決定權。
P.P.S. Additionally, as number 20 on the world list of Gross Domestic Product, Taiwan has great potential to lead the world in being even more modern and progressive by being primarily reliable on the sun and wind. This will catalyze Taiwan being less affected by the oil and gas economy and less dependent on other counties. Henceforth, instead of getting dragged down by the domino effect of the world economy, how can efforts be applied to increase renewable sources of energy, simultaneously boosting Taiwan’s economy via manufacturing and installing solar panels, and implementing wind and hydro energy technology? How can politicians on all levels be motivated to decreases air, land, and river pollution for the people of Taiwan, and the world at large, by decreasing the use of coal-burning thermal power plants?
註二：
除此之外，身為全球國民生產毛額（GDP）第二十名的國家，台灣其實有發展替代性能源，領先全球的潛力。這會使台灣成為對石油和天然氣需求較少，對他國進口依賴降低的國家。因此，該如何增加再生能源，並同時藉工業製造、太陽能板安裝振興台灣經濟，且實行風力及水力發電，不讓台灣被全球經濟的骨牌效應影響呢？所有位階的政治人物該如何被激勵，為了台灣人民以減少碳排放量的方式，降低空氣、土地及河川的汙染，為了全世界的福祉？
I thank you deeply for your kind attention! 謝謝您的閱讀
Much Love, 事事順心
