By a practitioner in North America

(Clearwisdom.net) As evil has been eliminated in large quantities by Dafa disciples through sending forth righteous thoughts, the scope that the evil can control has been reduced to very small. Dafa disciples are making great progress in saving sentient beings through clarifying the truth. At the same time, the importance of clarifying the truth to governments has become even more clear. I have two points to share with fellow practitioners as my personal understanding. Please kindly correct any of my mistakes or misunderstanding.

First, clarifying the truth to governments is one of the important components in our efforts to save people.

In his 1997 lecture in New York, Teacher talked about "predestined relationship" and told us that human beings "reincarnate as a group." In The North America Lecture Tour, Teacher told us that in China's history, "one dynasty after another, every dynasty's people are one dynasty of people from the heavens. They are representatives from faraway cosmic bodies, representing countless sentient beings from there and coming here to form predestined relationships so that those sentient beings would not be discarded during the Fa-rectification." And for those people who formed predestined relationship with Dafa, "most of them reincarnated and scattered all over the world, waiting until recent times to return to their places." They are the people in every country of the world. These people came to the human world to wait for the Fa. Whoever is chosen to head the governments of these countries at this critical time cannot be just a coincidence. It's likely that "predestined relationship" is playing a big role. If so, when a country's elected leaders make important decisions, the decision stands for all the people in the country. When a government chooses how to treat Dafa and how to treat the evil persecution in China, it's not simply the concerned individuals in the government choosing their own individual future. Rather, they are deciding the future for the whole country and people. As we know, people who came to form predestined relationship with Dafa are representatives of remote cosmic bodies. How they choose their future is very important. Choosing for a whole country is even more important, because the decision affects an enormous extent of huge cosmic bodies. Therefore, it is very important to clarify the truth to the governments around the world.

My second point is that clarifying the truth to governments is important to break through old force arrangements.

In Teaching the Fa at the 2002 Fa Conference in Boston, Teacher told us "Of course, a lot of things aren't as simple as everyday people think they are." "I've said that the old forces have made very detailed, thorough, and systematic arrangements in history for the entire Fa-rectification period and everything that manifests during the Fa-rectification."

At present, the old forces, in the name of "testing," are still trying to block the Fa-rectification and sustain the evil persecution. Outside of China, a typical manifestation is that the old forces play a "balancing" game. When and where the legislature and the people of a country are very supportive of Falun Gong, the old forces use evil matters to control government leaders with weak righteous thoughts. This limits the government administration from speaking out against the evil persecution. In some situations, governments even went so far as to side with evil and use government powers to deprive practitioners of their rights. For example, during the evil head's visit to Iceland in June, the Icelandic people widely supported Falun Gong and demonstrated against the evil persecution. However the old forces still arranged for the Icelandic government to ban practitioners from entering Iceland. The Icelandic government did what China's evil force could not do.

The purpose of Teacher's Fa-rectification and of practitioners' clarifying the truth is to save people. However, as Teacher said in The North America Lecture Tour, "The old forces do not place any importance on human beings. They can kill off whoever they want to kill off. During Fa-rectification they are only attached to their own arrangements." What happened in Iceland indicates that the old forces place no importance on the future of a country and it's people; they don't care about ruining the future of more sentient beings just to hold on to the evil persecution.

Regarding such evil arrangements by the old forces, we should not think of it as persecution of ordinary humans against people. If we see this from the Fa, we can see the importance of clarifying the truth to the government officials around the world.

Master has told us several times, "I don't acknowledge the old force arrangements and don't acknowledge this persecution." We Dafa disciples should break through the old forces' arrangements and save sentient beings. The people came to the human world for the Fa; they all have a side that's aware and they all have a kind side. When they hear the truth about the evil persecution, they are shocked. As long as we follow what Master told us, "validating the Fa with rationality, clarifying the truth with wisdom, and spreading the Fa and saving people with mercy," we can break through the old forces' arrangements. Once governments from all over the world stand up against the evil persecution, the evil in China can no longer be sustained. When the governments and the people know the truth about the evil persecution, it is the time of Fa-rectification of the human world.
