"Five Minutes of Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts Together"

By a Western Falun Dafa practitioner in Australia

Master said,

“Then if every student is able to do that, I can tell you, with five minutes of sending forth righteous thoughts together, the evil in the Three Realms will never exist again--that's how important this is.”(“Fa Lecture at the Conference in Florida, U.S.A.”)

How have we Dafa disciples from around the world not managed to all send forth righteous thoughts together for even just five minutes in all of these years?

I am ashamed that I have contributed to our global righteous thoughts not having their full effect yet because I have let myself be distracted time and again. I want to admit and expose this so as to encourage myself and others to improve.

Given how powerful our combined righteous thoughts are, it's inevitable that the old forces would be desperate to stop us by any means necessary. Recently I noticed that the old forces had been using "inspiration" to interfere with me.

About inspiration, Master said,

"Let’s look at why inspiration comes then. When a person’s brain is governed by his rational, conscious mind, there is little chance for the subconscious mind to get involved."

"Or it might be that you are thinking the subconscious could be utilized to benefit humanity and the world. But that too is out of the question, since what your subconscious knows is still limited—limited to the dimension it exists in."(Zhuan Falun, The Ninth Talk)

I had been writing a sharing and I wanted to find a particular piece of Fa but couldn’t remember enough of the words to do an effective search for it. I had asked a couple of other practitioners who tried to help but we still hadn't found it. I decided that if I was meant to find it I would, and if not, so be it. I put it out if my mind.

Master said,

"Today’s society has already reached the end of the end, and all the bad phenomena are inevitable."(“Wake Up” Team Blue Translation)

A day later I came across an article which reflected some of the bad phenomena that are unfolding in the human world at this time. It was misinformation and may have fooled many people. My heart was pained.

At the next global righteous thoughts time I was very determined to help Master eliminate evil and I had a sense that I was sending very powerful righteous thoughts, but then I suddenly remembered a couple of key words from the piece of Fa I had been looking for. The words appeared in my mind as if they were suddenly inserted there.

I immediately became distracted. I was sitting in my office chair with my laptop on the desk in front of me so I stopped sending righteous thoughts and typed the words into the search bar. When the exact Fa that I had been looking for came up I felt excited and pleased.

I was so happy I copied the short paragraph of Fa and messaged it to the practitioners who had tried to help me look for it. A few minutes later one of the practitioners replied, “Did you forget righteous thoughts?” I was mortified. I had messaged her during global righteous thoughts.

In my understanding, no righteous being would give me inspiration during the global time for sending righteous thoughts.

To the old forces, my finding that particular piece of Fa was less harmful to them than my sending strong righteous thoughts.

Master said,

"The truth is, anything that is not consistent with Dafa or the righteous thoughts of Dafa disciples results from the old forces’ involvement, and that includes all of the unrighteous elements that you have."

(“On the Responses to the Piece About Assistant Souls”)

Afterward, I realized this has happened to me before during righteous thoughts at times when I've been writing an experience-sharing article. And every time I have been foolish enough to stop sending righteous thoughts in order to jot down the inspiration.

I am now alert to this and will strive to do better.

These are just my own understandings at my limited level.
