Enlightenment on the Verses of the Third Exercise and Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts

(Minghui.org) I would like to share two understandings that my wife, a fellow Falun Dafa practitioner, and I enlightened to recently.

New Enlightenment on the Verses of Exercise Three: Penetrating the Cosmic Extremes

When I was practicing the third exercise one morning, “Penetrating the Cosmic Extremes,” I heard Master saying,

(“jing-hwa bun-tee”) The Body is Purified(“fah-kye ding-dee”) The Law Unlocks the Top and Bottom Energy Passages.(“shin-tszz ee-mung”) The Heart is Kind and the Will is Strong.(“tong-t’yen chuh-dee”) Reaching the Zenith of Heaven and the Nadir ofEarth.(Chapter II Illustrations and Explanations of the Exercise Movements, The Great Way of Spiritual Perfection)

I suddenly gained a new enlightenment. I always believed that “penetrating the cosmic extremes” happened in this time and space within this human body. However, the true zenith of heaven Master was referring to might be in more microcosmic levels in other dimensions, which are far beyond the sky of this dimension.

With that enlightenment, I had a new understanding of “cosmic extremes,” what it means by “The law unlocks the top and bottom energy passages,” and “reach the Zenith of Heaven and the Nadir of Earth.” They do not happen in the utmost depth and distance in our dimension, because the real “cosmic extremes,” the “top and bottom energy passages” and “reaching the Zenith of Heaven and Nadir of Earth” all take place in the extreme heights, depths and distances in the even more macrocosmic and microcosmic levels of different dimensions. All of these reach an extreme height, depth and distance.

I understood that when we do the third exercise, the different layers of our bodies also penetrate the cosmic extremes at the same time, from microcosms to macrocosms. Under the mechanisms arranged by Master, our bodies are constantly purified, evolving, and elevated. With this revelation, I felt that my body underwent great changes all at once.

New Perspective on the Verse for Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts

When my wife sent forth righteous thoughts one day, she was enlightened that her former understanding of the verse of sending forth righteous thoughts was incorrect. She used to believe, consciously or unconsciously, that “I” was sending righteous thoughts and “I” was extinguishing the evil. Because “I” was sending righteous thoughts, the power was limited and the effect was small.

As a matter of fact, what really is at work is the Fa. It is the Fa that rectifies everything that has gone astray and the Fa that cleans up all evil forces. When she realized this, she calmed down and reached a state of unprecedented strength.

The above are two understandings we enlightened to recently. Please point out anything that is not in accordance with the Fa.
