Regarding "Keep Firm Righteous Thoughts, Maintain a Determined Mind, See Through the Evil and Do Not Be Deceived" By a Dafa practitioner in the U.S.
(Clearwisdom.net) I remember that after our trip to Northern Europe, when
we discussed the topic of sending forth righteous thoughts to purge the
evil, we mentioned the issue of not being deluded by superficial phenomena. We
felt that elimination of the evil elements controlling the head of the evil in
other dimensions with righteous thoughts was an unprecedented battle between the
righteous and the evil. In the past, Dafa practitioners had several chances to
concentrate their power to send forth righteous thoughts to purge the evil
which manipulates people and events in other dimensions, and each time the evil
tried desperately to protect itself. The head of the evil also behaved
abnormally in the human world, such as suddenly disappearing for periods of time
or using stand-ins, etc.
Some young practitioners saw that the battle often came to a stalemate, but
if Dafa practitioners could persist longer with determination, then the evil
would no longer be able to sustain itself. However, during these critical
moments, the evil often created fake news to deceive us, like claiming that the
head of the evil was doing such and such at a certain place, and everything
about him was normal, etc. The human side of Dafa practitioners would be
deceived and ease up in their minds, and their righteous thoughts would decline
instantaneously. As a reflection in other dimensions, when Dafa practitioners
would ease up, the evil that had originally reached the edge of destruction would
gain the opportunity to recuperate for a moment, and the frozen stiff spirits
would gradually recover. The head evil in the human world would then appear as
presented in the fake news, which deluded many practitioners further. The evil
has escaped several times in such a way, so from the discussion, we all agreed
that we really must learn from past lessons.
This time, Dafa practitioners again concentrated their power to eliminate the
evil. We must be clear in terms of Fa principles and see through the evil's
trick of creating fake news to delude the human side of Dafa practitioners. No
matter what tactic the evil uses, their purpose is no other than to slow us
down, undermine our determination and weaken our righteous thoughts.
At this critical moment of the great battle between the righteous and the
evil, there is no need for the majority of our practitioners to spend their
precious time on analyzing and validating anyone's itinerary. The key point is
to keep firm righteous thoughts, maintain a determined mind, see through the
evil and do not be deceived. If we can truly achieve the state of, "Do but
pursue not, ---Often stay in the Dao," [From Master's poem, "In the Dao"]
then we will not be interfered with by superficial things or human notions such
as "seeing is believing." What we must do now is to persistently and
determinedly send forth righteous thoughts until all evil elements and evil that
persecutes Dafa in other dimensions are completely cleaned out, until the real
news can no longer be hidden.
Up until yesterday evening, dark clouds and rain were persistent in Houston.
Some local practitioners and practitioners from other regions stood outside the
Chinese consulate compound everyday and night to send forth righteous thoughts.
After traveling through Chicago, Houston and Mexico, many practitioners became
tired. In order to continuously send forth righteous thoughts well, some
practitioners from Toronto held a discussion right after their return, and they
realized that they should continue to send forth righteous thoughts at the top
of each hour, maintaining their determination. Those who can will send forth
righteous thoughts together in a small group in order to remind and encourage
each other. We felt that this was very good, for we can then fully utilize the
power of an entire group and purge the evil from its root at this critical
moment of the battle between righteousness and evil.
We hope that all of our Dafa practitioners will not miss the opportunity at
this crucial time of eliminating the evil with righteous thoughts, and remember
Master's teachings and encouragement, "To reduce the losses, and to save
sentient beings, put your Dafa disciples' powerful righteous thoughts to full
use! Show your Mighty Virtue!" ("Righteous Thoughts")
