(Minghui.org) I am a practitioner in China and have been persecuted by the evil Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for years. I am penniless and have only a few old clothes at home. I used to enjoy some fame in my local area. After I fell victim to the persecution and lost everything, I didn't know how to go on with my life. Fellow practitioners who learned of my situation gave me clothes, food, and money. Some helped me look for work, and others sent me Master's new article. Soon, I became dependent on their favors and grew attached to comfort and saving face, and I feared hardships. I thought that it was appropriate for me to live like that, as long as I just filled my stomach and did the three things. I didn't realize that I was actually validating the Fa conditionally. Today, I read Master's new article “Stay Clearheaded.” My mind became more clear, calm, and balanced. I made up my mind to study the Fa with a sincere heart and do the three things in a down-to-earth fashion. Now that I clearly see the direction of my path, I feel very calm. Thank you, benevolent and great Master.
The day before the CCP's 18th National Conference, Master published the new article “Stay Clearheaded” on the Minghui website. I believe this was not a coincidence, though it may have seemed so. At this crucial moment, Master gave us another “stick warning” to help us to stay clearheaded. I would like to share my understandings in three areas.
1. Subconscious Reliance on Non-practitioners
Through Dynaweb (an anti-censorship web service) and New Tang Dynasty TV, practitioners were informed that CCP Prime Minister Wen Jiabao had, on several occasions, brought up the issue of clearing Falun Gong's name and reputation. I thought that he was a good person, and this gradually turned into respect. I even talked about it (rather zealously) among practitioners. Hidden behind my behavior was a human attachment to hoping that he would do something to help us. Although the human attachment may have been a minor one, it was very dangerous for a practitioner. I trust that fellow practitioners already know what is at stake; there are too many examples to list.
If there are people inside the CCP regime who want to do something for Falun Gong, they must first clearly recognize the evil Party's bloodthirsty nature and quit it (either using their real names or aliases). Only after they have done so can the things they do be more righteous and generate more divine support. As Dafa practitioners, we should be happy to see a person doing kind deeds and being saved, but that is all we should feel. We should clearly know that Dafa has created—and is creating—everything and that people are choosing their future in this process.
2. The CCP Is the Biggest Demon
Master pointed out,
“It has taken the lives of millions of Dafa disciples over these years of persecution. And over the course of a century, the wicked Party has, around the world, murdered hundreds of millions all told.” (from “Stay Clearheaded”)
I was shocked at the number—millions of practitioners persecuted to death by the evil Party. Master is fundamentally against the persecution brought about by the evil CCP and Jiang Zemin, even as they make use of each other under the overall arrangement of the old forces. Therefore, from the very day the persecution started, all practitioner deaths are attributable to the evil—regardless of the cause (death from beatings, a victim of live organ harvesting, or illness karma).
3. Fa-rectification Principles Remain the Same
Master also pointed out in the article,
“The principles of the Fa-rectification won’t change on account of things that occur in the human world.”
Along with the progress of Fa rectification, the evil in other dimensions has been disintegrated and eliminated. The CCP's shocking skeleton in the closet has been extensively exposed, especially the organ harvesting issue, which is now well known to the international community. Many people with a sense of justice have stepped up and spoken out for Falun Gong practitioners, and some high-ranking officials within the CCP regime have expressed their support of Falun Gong. Furthermore, some websites in China have gradually lessened their censorship on topics the CCP deems sensitive. On a superficial level, the CCP appears to be reformed, as if it wants to pursue good instead of evil. It's fundamental goal, however, is solely to deceive people and extend the life of the dying Party a little longer.
In this current time of great historical change, everyone faces a choice. Those with clear minds: Please see through the the evil that is the CCP, an entity that even dares to harvest organs from the living, and don't harbor any fantasies about it. Either you choose to go with the CCP and be eliminated, or you choose Dafa and eternal life. There is no alternative, middle ground, or any room for ambiguity.
The above is merely my personal, limited understanding. Fellow practitioners, please kindly point out anything inappropriate.
