(Clearwisdom.net) Recently, an acute pain unexpectedly spread from my chest to my lower abdomen. It was then that I took a serious look at myself, aiming to find out where I had gone wrong and what gaps were being taken advantage of.
This year I watched a lot of TV dramas when I had the time and even rented videos and spent hours watching them. I was well aware that this wasn't right, but I often found excuses to comfort myself, telling myself I had organized well the three things Master told us to do and done them, and was just watching a little TV when I had some free time. Master hinted to me through my son, who said, "Mom, your face is dark." I thought my son was just playing a joke on me. How could my face be dark? I am a practitioner and my face looks very good. My son told me twice that my face was dark, but I ignored him. I didn't think deeply about it. I had been watching TV for such a long time that I had become buried in it.
On the surface it might look like a trivial matter, but it's not. While I was watching TV, those evil factors from the old forces and the Communist Party that I had once eliminated again entered my space in the other dimensions, giving off dense dark substances continuously. As a result I was totally unclear as to who was interfering with whom. I used to love watching Korean soap operas and often watched whole series, one episode after another. My heart was so filled with human sentimentality that, for instance, when my son, who had been busy with his work, couldn't find time to date, I pitied him and felt extremely sorry for him. My heart was filled with selfish love, but I honestly thought it was kindness and care. The truth was I couldn't let go of my attachment. Before, I could clearly remember Master's teaching after studying the Fa. My space in other dimensions would be pure and clean after the first five minutes of self-cleansing before sending forth righteous thoughts. After watching so much TV, I couldn't remember much at all after Fa study. My space in other dimensional fields was dark gray when sending forth righteous thoughts. Only with painstaking effort could I cleanse those spaces.
Master said in his article "Melt Into the Fa",
"A person is like a container, and he is whatever he contains. All of what a person sees with the eyes and hears with the ears are: violence, lust, power struggles in literary works, struggles for profit in the practical world, money worship, other manifestations of demon-nature, and so on. With his head filled with these, this kind of person is truly a bad person, no matter what he appears to be. A person's behaviour is dictated by his thoughts. With a mind full of such things, what's a person able to do? It is only because everyone's mind is more or less contaminated to some extent that people cannot detect the problem that has surfaced." (Essentials For Further Advancement)
After studying this article, I once again came to realize that watching a lot of TV and other things like that are not "minor matters" for a practitioner. Having realized this, I sent righteous thoughts to eliminate all the interfering factors from other dimensions. My spaces in other dimensions have once again become clear and bright like they were before, with all those dark grey substances cleared away. During the period when the dark minions persecuted my physical body, I didn't stop looking inward, and my body felt lighter every day. Six days later, I felt as if a broad pathway had opened from my chest to my lower abdomen. I once again received Master's merciful protection.
I will treasure the precious time to help save more sentient beings with righteous thoughts and actions, study the Fa well and melt into the Fa, and do well the three things that Master has asked us to do.
