(Clearwisdom.net) The evil has been persecuting Falun Dafa and Dafa disciples for six years. During this time, the brutal persecution has not made Dafa disciples give up their beliefs. On the contrary, through clarifying the truth to countless people, the field established by Dafa has become significantly larger and the evil is diminishing.
Before the Fa rectifies the human realm, we, the Dafa disciples, are the only ones who can end the persecution. The experiences of the last six years have shown us that wishful thinking or placing hope on other people is not practical.
The world's people are under the influence of the old forces. They are also isolated by elements of the old cosmos. All of this has caused people to remain insensitive towards Dafa and the persecution. At the same time, people nowadays are more concerned about their self-interests. Many of them are making deals with the evil government against their consciences while ignoring the persecution of basic human rights.
We cannot simply blame the world's people, however. How they behave is their choice. They are also choosing their own futures. We can only think about saving sentient beings.
Clarifying the truth is to save sentient beings and to eliminate and restrain the evil. Sending forth righteous thoughts is to dissolve and purge the evil. All of the above are the methods disciples are using to stop the persecution. However, that is not enough. While sending forth righteous thoughts, disciples can eliminate evil in different dimensions using supernatural abilities. This is also an effective way to stop the persecution and save sentient beings in the current situation.
Let us study Master's teachings:
"Right now, due to the partition and interference brought about in human society by the old forces' factors and the factors of the old cosmos, gods cannot openly appear here, and the interfering demons and how they are struck down and destroyed can't be shown to sentient beings. The ways in which cultivators are completely different from ordinary people have always been blocked from view by the partition. The evil has been doing harmful things during this time before the Fa's rectification of the human world arrives. The purpose of doing the Fa-rectification in this human world here is absolutely not to put Dafa disciples or Fa-rectification in delusion. The setting of the Three Realms was created for the Fa-rectification, the purpose being to make this the place for Fa-rectification and to not disturb the divine realms. That's why we use this setting and use these human approaches to validate the Fa. But that doesn't mean we approve of the old forces interfering with the Fa-rectification, it doesn't mean we approve of the things they arranged. Human society is in delusion, and people cannot see how the cosmos truly is or the real situation of beings. That's how beings are at this level, but the situation during the Fa-rectification is presided over by Dafa and it changes according to what is required so that Dafa can save sentient beings. The fact is, at this time Dafa disciples have to do divine things, because for Dafa disciples their personal cultivation is no longer first and foremost. Saving sentient beings and reconstructing the colossal firmament during the Fa-rectification are the purpose. You have to do Fa-rectification things and things to save sentient beings, so you need to clear away the obstacles presented by this environment and validate Dafa." ("Teaching the Fa at the Western U.S. International Fa Conference")
"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")
In addition, Master also taught us about supernatural abilities. When we use our supernatural abilities, "...you have strong righteous thoughts, no fear, and no human attachments, apprehension, or hatred; only when you're in that state will it be effective, and it will take effect as soon as your thoughts emerge." ("Stop the Evil Acts with Righteous Thoughts")
Fellow practitioners, what is keeping us from using our supernatural abilities? We should carefully think about it. Is it human notions, an attachment to fear, apprehension, or hatred?
Master said in "Teaching the Fa at the 2004 Chicago Conference,"
"When you Dafa disciples develop even stronger righteous thoughts among you, that will be what's most magnificent. Starting with each person, let's truly make our environment a very righteous one, and then all the unrighteous factors will dissolve, and all the students who haven't conducted themselves well will see where they fall short, and it will make them do better."
In the current situation where there is very little evil left, why are practitioners still being persecuted? Is it because we are not in a solid state? Or is it that we have accepted the evil in some areas?
Among all the hindrances Master told us to dissolve, the major part of it is the partition and interference from the old forces' factors and the factors of the old cosmos. They are not only blocking ordinary people from getting to know Dafa; they also keep the disciples from using their supernatural abilities. Shouldn't we intentionally break down and eliminate the blockage? At the very least, we need to break through it in our minds. Perhaps some practitioners think we do not have the ability to break through the blockade. Regardless of whether or not we have such ability, can the Fa not have this ability? Perhaps once we recognize this, the interference and partitions will dissolve in the Fa.
Fellow practitioners, we should really enlighten in this area. Let our divine sides resurrect quickly and let us be more god-like.
