(Clearwisdom.net) I remember that after our trip to Northern Europe, when we discussed the topic of sending forth righteous thoughts to purge the evil, we mentioned the issue of not being deluded by superficial phenomena. We felt that elimination of the evil elements controlling the head of the evil in other dimensions with righteous thoughts was an unprecedented battle between the righteous and the evil. In the past, Dafa practitioners had several chances to concentrate their power to send forth righteous thoughts to purge the evil which manipulates people and events in other dimensions, and each time the evil tried desperately to protect itself. The head of the evil also behaved abnormally in the human world, such as suddenly disappearing for periods of time or using stand-ins, etc.
Some young practitioners saw that the battle often came to a stalemate, but if Dafa practitioners could persist longer with determination, then the evil would no longer be able to sustain itself. However, during these critical moments, the evil often created fake news to deceive us, like claiming that the head of the evil was doing such and such at a certain place, and everything about him was normal, etc. The human side of Dafa practitioners would be deceived and ease up in their minds, and their righteous thoughts would decline instantaneously. As a reflection in other dimensions, when Dafa practitioners would ease up, the evil that had originally reached the edge of destruction would gain the opportunity to recuperate for a moment, and the frozen stiff spirits would gradually recover. The head evil in the human world would then appear as presented in the fake news, which deluded many practitioners further. The evil has escaped several times in such a way, so from the discussion, we all agreed that we really must learn from past lessons.
This time, Dafa practitioners again concentrated their power to eliminate the evil. We must be clear in terms of Fa principles and see through the evil's trick of creating fake news to delude the human side of Dafa practitioners. No matter what tactic the evil uses, their purpose is no other than to slow us down, undermine our determination and weaken our righteous thoughts.
At this critical moment of the great battle between the righteous and the evil, there is no need for the majority of our practitioners to spend their precious time on analyzing and validating anyone's itinerary. The key point is to keep firm righteous thoughts, maintain a determined mind, see through the evil and do not be deceived. If we can truly achieve the state of, "Do but pursue not, ---Often stay in the Dao," [From Master's poem, "In the Dao"] then we will not be interfered with by superficial things or human notions such as "seeing is believing." What we must do now is to persistently and determinedly send forth righteous thoughts until all evil elements and evil that persecutes Dafa in other dimensions are completely cleaned out, until the real news can no longer be hidden.
Up until yesterday evening, dark clouds and rain were persistent in Houston. Some local practitioners and practitioners from other regions stood outside the Chinese consulate compound everyday and night to send forth righteous thoughts. After traveling through Chicago, Houston and Mexico, many practitioners became tired. In order to continuously send forth righteous thoughts well, some practitioners from Toronto held a discussion right after their return, and they realized that they should continue to send forth righteous thoughts at the top of each hour, maintaining their determination. Those who can will send forth righteous thoughts together in a small group in order to remind and encourage each other. We felt that this was very good, for we can then fully utilize the power of an entire group and purge the evil from its root at this critical moment of the battle between righteousness and evil.
We hope that all of our Dafa practitioners will not miss the opportunity at this crucial time of eliminating the evil with righteous thoughts, and remember Master's teachings and encouragement, "To reduce the losses, and to save sentient beings, put your Dafa disciples' powerful righteous thoughts to full use! Show your Mighty Virtue!" ("Righteous Thoughts")
