(Clearwisdom.net) Master brought me to Falun Dafa 7 years ago, ending my 45-year search to find what I came to this earth for. I had many premonitions about something grand regarding the meaning of life on earth and having a purpose to be fulfilled. Yet until Dafa I never found any path with heart and deep meaning, even though I searched endlessly and was always disappointed in the paths available.

Having created so much karma in those 45 years, I am so grateful for Master's compassion and arrangement for me to learn the Fa. Each day during study now I learn the Fa principles at my level and can really feel the difference between when I'm cultivating and when I'm not. It's like when Master says we will gradually learn the truths at high levels and we will know how to cultivate.

I am completely surrounded by non-practitioners, as I live in a small town, and have accepted that this is my rich cultivation environment. I have come to understand that looking inwards is the path of cultivation, and that by looking outwards I can see clearly what it is in me that needs to be eliminated. The tribulations that I witness in my environment are a direct mirror of my attachments.

One day I was reading in Lecture Two, "The Supernormal Ability of Precognition and Retrocognition" where Master says:

"Within this field, there is a mirror in one's forehead. A non-practitioner's mirror faces toward himself, but a practitioner's mirror turns over. When a person's supernormal ability of clairvoyance is about to emerge, it will rotate back and forth."

"It lets you see what is reflected within your own dimensional field, and it corresponds to what is in the large universe."

"Yet this mirror in your dimensional field is as big as the entire field of your dimensional field. Thus, when it rotates back and forth, it reflects everything everywhere. Within your dimensional field, it can show you everything, provided it corresponds to what is from the universe."

Why is that we can always see others' problems but never our own?

Master has said when we witness an argument or a problem occurs then there is something there for us to learn or to let go of, too. So we should always unconditionally look inwards to see what we need to let go of. This mirror reflects back to me what my external bodies are corresponding to in the universe. So when I see a problem in other practitioners the reason I see that in them is because I recognize that I have the same problem in me in varying degrees.

So I realized not only how important it is to look inwards, but that because of the mirror flipping over constantly it can show me exactly what I need to let go of. It is a Fa tool that we can use to precisely target our own, yet often obscure, attachments.

Master has talked so much about media this year. With so much Fa teaching on this topic, why do we still have problems in our media projects? If we truly hear Master's words and act on them then we will be truly be improving.

Master has taught to us to cooperate and coordinate better with each other. It is up to all of us now. We can start with a sincere wish to put Dafa and saving all sentient beings first. If we can see problems in another practitioner or a non-practitioner, then we can for sure acknowledge that we have the same attachment that needs to be let go of. If we cultivate inwards to the root of the problem and rationally let go of it will there still be problems with other practitioners or in the management of our media?

Since understanding these principles at my level, my cultivation has become much more simple in my Dafa work and my everyday life.
