I woke up with the power out,
Not really somethin to shout about.
Ice has covered up my parents hands,
Don't have any dreams don't have any plans.

I went out into the night,
I went out to find some light.
Kids are swingin from the power lines,
Nobody's home so nobody minds

I woke up on the darkest night,
Neighbors all were shouting that they
Found the light - "we found the light." -

Shadows jumpin' all over my walls,
Some of them big, some of them small.
I went out into the night
I went out to pick a fight with anyone.
Light a candle for the kids,
Jesus christ don't keep it hid!

Ice has covered up my parents eyes,
Don't know how to see, don't know how to cry.
Growin' up in some strange storm,
Nobody's cold, nobody's warm.

I went out into the night, i went out to find some light.
Kids are dyin' out in the snow, look at them go - look at them go!

And the power's out in the heart of man,
Take it from your heart put it in your hand.
What's the plan? what's the plan?
Is it a dream?
Is it a lie?
I think i'll let you deceide.
Just light a candle for the kids,
Jesus christ don't keep it hid!
Cause nothing's hid,
From us kids!
You ain't foolin' nobody - with the lights out!
And the power's out in the heart of man, take it from your heart put it in your hand.
And there's something wrong in the heart of man,
You take it from your heart and put it in your hand!
Where'd you go?!

We know a place where no planes go
We know a place where no ships go

Hey!
No cars go
Hey!
No cars go
Where we know

We know a place no spaceships go
We know a place where no subs go

Hey!
No cars go
Hey!
No cars go
Where we know

Hey!

Hey!

No go!

Hey!
Us kids know
Hey!
No cars go
Where we know

Between the click of the light and the start of the dream
Between the click of the light and the start of the dream
Between the click of the light and the start of the dream
Between the click of the light and the start of the dream

I don't want any pushing, and I don't want any shoving
We're gonna do this in an orderly manner
Women and children!
Women and children!

Women and children, let's go!

Old folks, let's go!

Babies needing cribs, let's go!

@Thought Art I have not listened to the song yet, but the lyrics out of context is very enlightening.

Embracing ambiguity in how you feel, think and what you know, is an important aspect of mindfulness. 
 

As you sit, notice how emotions come and go. How thoughts come and go. 
 

Notice during a sit moments of deep peace, when old memories arrive, when the mind is busy, when it’s calm, when it forgets, when it remembers, when it has insights, when it jams out to a song that the mind remembered. Notice how the mind goes, without anything.
 

Just feeling the body, noticing its sensations, noting aches and pains, noting a thought and an emotion. Acknowledging what is there. Being open, light and curious. 

Being the stillness that exists at all times while things come and go. 

Being aware of the breath. Allowing yourself the right to relax, to feel joy, loving awareness, inner smile, to feel what is there negative or positive with a curious, open embrace. 

Finding deep states of stillness, calm, peace, balance, serenity, forgiveness, acceptance, kindness, vision, possibility, presence.

Loving consciousness for no reason at all.

How and when did you discover Arcade Fire? What about their music connects with you deeply?

True power… is not physical strength but a healthy, stable, mind-body, and a well refined vision and long term, daily execution on the task at hand. True strength is persisting over a long period of time. It largely has to do with your intelligence , knowledge, awareness, perception and ability to align your thoughts, actions, and perceptions with what is actually true.
 

The more truth oriented you are, the more wise and mature you are, the more experienced you are, the more healthy you are, the more patient you are, the more organized you are, the more you think well, act well, do well. The more powerful you are. 
 

 

To really build a deep foundation requires time, thinking, planning, calculating, feeling, doing, visualizing, measuring, creating, readjusting, refining, continuing, adapting, overcoming, learning, organizing, cleaning, maintaining, growing, pruning, letting go, healing, etc

 

Ultimately a powerful person is an Actualized person.

True power for a human is to be well adapted to human existence through experience, education and self reflection. A truly powerful person is the result of a generally long term process of work, dedication and refining of one’s whole process and being. They have refined their cognitive processes, had many awakenings, developed sufficient life experience including success and failure, they have done shadow work, they have observed and contemplated in great depth beyond the average of what the human predicament is. They are loving, fully experiencing and One. 
 

A truly powerful human is deeply loving, grounded in Teotle, loving, wise, educated, integrous, mature. From this deep root ness they partake in the world of business and human affairs and work to bring more balance and harmony to the world around them. True power stems from a place of wisdom and love, it sees things in wholes, its systems thinking, it works for the greater good of all. It is not foolishly selfish, nor foolishly selfless. It has found and embodies a sublime balance.

To build something of great value that will ripple through humanity for hundreds, or thousands of years is to create something which is fully holistic and encourages the increasing of consciousness, wisdom, health, maturity, long term thinking, ecology, longevity, respect, integrity, truth, peace, Godliness, etc

This great value need not be noticed, seen or recognize as something “I” did, or “you” did but something which exists, is the case and really is if authentic value to society.

Feeling fear and anxiety this evening. There is work to be done. The anxiety is from a change I feel coming in my life. Healthy, normal. Will go through it mindful.
 

I also had a bit of perfectionism around a sleeve that was longer than the other in one of my videos. It’s okay, I say to myself. On to the next video. I want to produce high quality Qigong videos, but, also avoid perfectionism
