Discerning the False Scenes Created by the Old Forces
By A Falun Dafa Practitioner in the United States

(Clearwisdom.net)
The evils in the other dimensions are full of tricks. The
most common is to create false scenes and false messages; their ultimate goal is
to distract Dafa practitioners who are still in the maze with external things so
they slack off and cannot display the mighty power of their righteous
thoughts at critical moments, giving the evil a chance to catch its breath and
extend its feeble existence.
I saw some fellow practitioners suddenly let up
today, and felt that we needed to talk about it and remind each other. A Minghui
net (Chinese version of Clearwisdom. Net) article today specially mentioned:
"Eliminating the evils with righteous thoughts by Falun Gong practitioners
around the world should not let up, but should continue unabated." For the
next few days, whether we can continue to maintain high frequency and intensity
righteous thoughts is critical. Practitioners who can see some things in other
dimensions relate that in the past few days there has been a very intense battle
waged between the good and the evil. Countless evils have been eliminated.
However, in the human dimension, everything seems to be calming down. Actually
this "superficial calmness" is in fact a serious test on our collective
righteous understanding.
Recalling last time after the European trip, some
practitioners mentioned in an article that the fight has come to a standstill,
and if practitioners had continued to firmly send forth righteous thoughts, it
would have been hard for the evils to keep going. However, as is often the case
during such critical moments, the evil uses the trick of spreading false
messages and appearances to confuse us. Often during these important moments,
the human side of many practitioners has become confused. They started to slack off
and they suddenly stopped sending forth righteous thoughts. This would manifest
in other dimensions as the practitioners' side losing its strength. The evil
side, which was on the edge of collapse, is given time to catch its breath. The
possessing spirits practically in rigor mortis get a chance to gradually
recover.
I have an experience about sending forth righteous thoughts
to share with everyone. When we were in Houston this past week, we wanted to get
on the Internet, however the server suddenly was not running. We sat down and
sent forth righteous thoughts. I felt that my righteous thoughts were very
strong. After a relatively long period of sending forth righteous thoughts, we
stopped and found that the server was still not running. We sent forth righteous
thoughts again but it was still not operational. Some practitioners were
discouraged and stopped sending forth righteous thoughts. I then recalled a
practitioner's experience-sharing article talking about the evils in other
dimensions, and likened them to a burning stick of incense nearly extinguished.
If we continued, it would have extinguished, but if we gave up, it would ignite
again from the dimming ashes. When I thought of this, I conjoined both hands (Jieyin)
again and seriously said to the evil and the old forces that "even if
practitioners have omissions, you are not apt to test us." After holding my palm
erect for 5 minutes, we were able to connect to the Internet. Through this
experience, I realized that if we are persistent and not moved by external
appearance, that's what the evil is afraid of most. At the same time we need to
examine ourselves and see if we have any problems within ourselves. We should
follow the Fa and firmly reject the old forces' excuses to "test" us.
