(Clearwisdom.net) During our local Fa study group sessions, as soon as we start sending righteous thoughts, some practitioners doze off or fail to keep their hands upright. My body is not sensitive, and this happens to me sometimes as well. I write about this today in order to improve my own state for sending righteous thoughts and also so that others may offer valuable insights.
What on earth causes this to happen? I realized that there are two main reasons. First, some of our practitioners' main consciousnesses are not very strong. Because they do not feel anything, they don't take sending righteous thoughts seriously, so they fail to concentrate when sending righteous thoughts. Even after realizing that they doze off, they don't try to find the cause of the problem. Instead, they are apathetic and leave the matter unsolved. Second, it is caused by interference from evil elements. After Master's new article "Thoroughly Dissolve the Evil" was published, the elements of old forces, dark minions, and rotten ghosts, afraid of being eliminated, began to create serious interference when we send righteous thoughts.
During this long seven years of persecution, through studying the Fa, we understand that this persecution is not humans against humans, it is the dark minions and rotten demons in other dimensions manipulating people to persecute cultivators. Master told us that the dark minions and rotten demons could be eliminated in an instant by Dafa disciples' pure righteous thoughts. In cultivation articles published on Clearwisdom.net, many practitioners shared how they eliminated the evil elements behind people. They stopped evil policemen using righteous thoughts and escaped from the dens of evil. There are also many practitioners who, upon finding sentient beings who refuse to listen to the truth, keep sending righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil beings behind them. When they clarify the truth again, these people listen, understand, and withdraw from the Party. These examples should be sufficient to encourage those practitioners whose bodies are not sensitive to take sending righteous thoughts more seriously.
At the same time, we must constantly clear away the evil interference that stops us from sending righteous thoughts and eliminate all the evil elements that target us while we send righteous thoughts. For example, some practitioners missed sending righteous thoughts at midnight for a number of days because they did not hear the alarm clock. Also, we must keep a clear head before we start sending righteous thoughts. If we try to send righteous thoughts at midnight when we are still sleepy, we will not be able to enter the proper state for sending righteous thoughts, and we may even doze off. A simple thing that can help you wake up, is to wash your face with cold water before sending righteous thoughts. Some practitioners do not maintain the proper posture and sit slouched with the head down. Some practitioners send righteous thoughts in their beds covered with blankets. When sending righteous thoughts, I often imagine myself as a mountain, standing lofty and firm, like a huge rock. Strong righteous thoughts then come from the bottom of my heart.
Let's go over Master's words:
"This is how to do it: (1) You should focus your attention and your effort, your mind has to be absolutely clear and rational, the force of your thoughts needs to be focused and strong, with an air of supremacy and of destroying all evil in the cosmos. (2) The disciples who for the time being aren't able to see other dimensions can focus powerful thoughts in saying the word Mie (滅) after they finish saying the formula(s). The Mie (滅) word need to be so strong that its as large as the cosmic body, encompassing everything and leaving out nothing in any dimension. (3) Those disciples who can see the evil beings in other dimensions can handle things according to the situations they are aware of. Their righteous thoughts need to be strong and they should fully use their wisdom. One righteous thought itself subdues a hundred evil things. (4) Closing your eyes and not closing your eyes both have the same effect when you send righteous thoughts. If you keep your eyes open you need to reach a state where you don't take note of anything you see in the dimension of everyday people." ("Righteous Thoughts")
