(Clearwisdom.net) After the persecution started, many fellow practitioners stopped practicing Falun Dafa and have not returned. Facing this situation, some practitioners have experienced feelings of regret and helpless anxiety.
All those feelings are precisely what the evil wants, aren't they? Aren't those feelings acknowledgments of the persecution? Teacher doesn't acknowledge this persecution, so how can we be moved by the evil's arrangements?
Eliminating the evil with our righteous thoughts and clarifying the truth with our mercy is the only choice for practitioners, and only by doing so will the results be as Teacher says:
"The Fa-rectification moves through the world, the grand manifestation of Gods and Buddhas unfolds, and all of the chaotic world's unrighted wrongs and karmic relationships are settled with benevolent solutions. The ones who do evil against Dafa go down into the gate of no-life. As for all the others, people's hearts return to righteousness and they cherish virtue and do good, all the myriad things are renewed, and every single sentient being reveres Dafa's saving grace. All of the heavens and the earth celebrate together, congratulate each other, and exalt together." ("Foretelling the Fa's Rectification of the Human World," from Essentials for Further Advancement II)
All issues will be automatically resolved by Teacher's arrangements for the persecution's end.
Dafa practitioners' righteous thoughts come from their sides that have been well-cultivated. These righteous thoughts are the manifestations of great gods' divine power.
Teacher had already pushed all of the pre-July 20, 1999, students to their highest positions. With strong righteous thoughts, post-July 20 students can also sufficiently protect themselves. My understanding is that Teacher pushing disciples to their highest positions refers to the divine level you belong to. Your bodies in other dimensions are already at that level and have all the abilities needed to handle any situation.
Nevertheless, practitioners still must have strong righteous thoughts to believe in Teacher's Fa and let our own abilities manifest. We shouldn't let the human side restrain the godly side. Only then can we use the divine powers at will to immediately stop the persecution.
