Completely Denying the Old Forces' Arrangements for People

By a practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net) After the big Sichuan earthquake, I at first thought that the prelude to weeding people out had begun, and that it was time for the last prophecy to be realized. By studying the Fa and sharing understandings with fellow practitioners, I felt that I had followed the old forces' arrangements for quite a while regarding this topic. I would like to share my understandings with fellow practitioners.

During these years of persecution, I used all kinds of prophecies as examples to clarify the truth. These prophecies are almost 100% accurate in comparison to what has happened, and there is only one last prophecy which has not yet happened. It goes: "In the year of the pig and mouse, one thousand will be left among ten thousand poor people, and two or three will be left among ten thousand rich people." Although this last major disaster has not yet happened, I believe it certainly will. Teacher also said in the Fa teachings that mankind would experience a "major event" in the future. In these years, I have often thought of when a big weeding out will happen. Is it in Spring?, Autumn?, or before the Olympics? In fact, I was already following old forces' arrangements in thinking that way. The old forces arranged a series of prophecies to make us have an attachment to "expecting the final prophecy," and it did arouse many people's attachments. It not only made us recognize its arrangement, but also recognize the old cosmos's reasoning. I didn't clearly understand from the Fa that this is a meticulous arrangement made by the old forces - the old forces intended to eliminate more people. But we want to save more people.

We should not value the things of the old forces. The old forces want to eliminate people, but we want to save sentient beings. As practitioners we should not only deny all arrangements by the old forces, but also go beyond its thinking. Everything is based on the needs of the Fa-rectification and what Teacher needs.

In recent years, fellow practitioners and I have consciously and unconsciously talked about the topic of catastrophes, but I didn't realize how bad that can be.

Teacher said,

"But when the punishment is just for the sake of punishing people, it only weakens people's belief in gods. Those things done by the old-force factors do nothing positive for mankind; when people grow bad they just weed them out. The tsunami's occurrence at this time was a warning to people--three hundred thousand people were gone within a matter of seconds. Back when the big Tangshan Earthquake struck China, didn't hundreds of thousands perish in a flash?"

"The old forces' factors don't care about human beings one bit. Only Dafa disciples are saving people."

("Teaching the Fa at the Western U.S. International Fa Conference")

Dafa practitioners should pay close attention to the various ways of saving people, deny the old forces' arrangements, and maintain this mentality while meeting the needs of Fa-rectification.
