"Have righteous thoughts and righteous actions, dissolve all hindrances, and spread the facts widely. Divine beings are among men."
("To the European Fa Conference in Stockholm")
When I read "Divine beings are among men" in Master's most recent article, I was shocked. These words awakened me to such an understanding: Countless cultivators have cultivated for hundreds, or even thousands of years, yet they don't deserve to be called "divine beings." Among Dafa practitioners however, the longest cultivation has only been thirteen years. Our great, compassionate Master has bestowed the laurel of godhood upon us, has borne many, many sins for us, and has given us unimaginable powers. Having the glorious symbol of godhood, we are also bestowed with historic missions and responsibilities.
Do we deserve the laurel of godhood? How are we worthy of it? I asked myself these questions repeatedly. Tears blurred my eyes. I held back my tears and controlled my excitement. While waiting for the bus, I recited this new article over and over again, each word weighing thousands of pounds, each word shaking layers upon layers of cells and layers upon layers of dimensions.
At midnight when I was sending righteous thoughts, I sat straight as usual, and first started to cleanse my environment. I erected my hand and recited the Fa-rectification verse. I focused on the word "eliminate (mie)" and expanded it infinitely, while asking Master to strengthen me. Immediately, my dimension was illuminated with bright lights, and everything was very solemn. The evil demons, rotten spirits, dark minions, and deviated gods in the Three Realms that have interfered with or damaged Dafa were running away. Among the ones that didn't run away in time, some fell into hell, some melted away on the spot, and some burrowed into the ground, but were hooked back by golden needles. Tens of thousands of golden needles then stabbed it repeatedly, every time it was stabbed, it shrunk a little bit, until it was as small as a frog. It was then thrown into hell.
After I came out of tranquility, I sat still and thought about the rotten spirits that were running away. This was the second time I had seen rotten spirits escaping. The first time was Halloween last year. Six or seven practitioners rented a minivan to attend a small experience sharing conference in the countryside. Everything went smoothly that day, and we distributed all the materials we had taken with us. On the way back, it was dusk, and I saw evil demons and rotten spirits in other dimensions. As soon as they saw our van, they started running around. Some were crawling on the ground trying to escape. I told everyone, "Hurry up! Let's send righteous thoughts!" We sent righteous thoughts all the way. When we arrived, it was already completely dark. I thought if our divine powers were greater, the rotten spirits wouldn't have been able to run away.
Now Master has bestowed gods' laurels on our heads and gods' scepters in our hands. The power of gods is so strong, how could the rotten spirits run away? Where did they go? They ran to hide in the dimensions of the practitioners who are not so diligent and those of the so-called "cultivators" who only want to take from Dafa but not to seek justice for Dafa.
Fellow practitioners, studying the Fa is the most important. Master told us,
"Lay down your human, mundane mind,
The Fa gained, you now stand divine"("Salvation Far and Wide" from Hongyin)
Every ordinary people's attachment will be a huge gap and become a hiding place for the rotten spirits and evil demons. When they are being restored, they not only endanger those practitioners who are not diligent, but also harm others around them.
We should follow Master's teachings, break through our notions, and remove the obstacles on the path to godhood. Let us use well the treasures Master has bestowed upon us to validate Dafa and save sentient beings.
