(Clearwisdom.net) There is less than a week until the trial date over the Eutelsat incident. The European Falun Dafa Association organized a sharing recently. I will summarize here to share with fellow practitioners globally.
The basic facts are that Eutelsat shut down NTDTV's signals to China using the excuse that it had technical difficulties on June 18, 2008. They were under pressure from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and were seeking more financial benefits. NTDTV has begun legal proceedings in Paris. It has hired a lawyer, and requested the judge of the Paris Commercial Court to organize an independent committee to investigate. The first scheduled trial was delayed, and the next scheduled trial is at 11:00 a.m. Thursday, November 5, 2009.
Practitioner A's thinking was that practitioners' thoughts would determine the outcome of this trial. Everything occurring in our time space is from our own minds. He used an example of when we sold 2000 Shen Yun tickets out of 30,000 total, with only one month left. We carried strong righteous thoughts, and established new ticket selling booths in malls. Some practitioners' thoughts were that we only needed three booths, so then the mall only allowed us three. Later we enlightened that it was our thoughts that limited the mall administration. We broke through the limitations of our own minds, and then we had more booths as we had wished.
Practitioner B shared that the judge was not in favor of our holding up banners and passing out fliers during the first scheduled trial. He believes this exactly proves the evil elements are afraid of our doing so, as they can be destroyed by our righteous thoughts, and they used ordinary people's mouths to try to stop us. We should have a clear understanding of the judge's attitude, and not be moved by ordinary people's thinking. We were too late at the last trial, but this time we should all be there early to send forth righteous thoughts.
Practitioner C enlightened that the first scheduled trial was delayed due to Eutelsat submitting their material late--around midnight--and that they were being manipulated by meddlesome demons. We must eliminate the evil elements behind Eutelsat with righteous thoughts.
Practitioner D observed that we were not very focused when sending forth righteous thoughts at the first scheduled time, with some of us chatting outside the court. This allowed us to be interfered with because of not having strong enough righteous thoughts. Do we truly realize why we are here? If we fail to maintain pure righteous thoughts, we cannot eliminate the dark minions and rotten demons manipulating Eutelsat.
Practitioner E said she had inadequate righteous thought from the beginning of this incident. She thought from a human angle that it was very hard for Eutelsat to give up the benefits offered by the CCP. We later successfully clarified the truth to the European Council, enabling these officials to position themselves correctly. She thought that was as much as we could do. The Chinese people can still watch NTDTV through its Asia-Pacific branch, and it wasn't until the Asia-Pacific branch's signal was interrupted later that she awakened. Master taught us in "Fa Teaching at the 2009 Washington DC International Fa Conference,"
"At times when your human attachments are severe and there is interference from evil and bad factors, however, it will instead be the case that when you get stronger it becomes weaker, and when you get weaker it becomes stronger."
The evil was able to block NTDTV's signal first, as we failed to rectify this thoroughly, but now it is similar to "give it an inch, it wants a yard." Therefore, we must rectify our own minds in order to reach our goal, and restore the NTDTV signal to China.
Practitioner F said that by sending forth righteous thoughts we are using our supernormal abilities. Ordinary people are very weak in front of us, and we should use righteous thoughts and supernormal abilities to guide their minds and lead the judge's mind. We are cultivating on the path to go back to our original true selves, so believing we have supernormal abilities is a manifestation of our faith in Master and Dafa.
Practitioner G enlightened that NTDTV is saving millions and millions of Chinese people, so recovering the NTDTV signal is part of fulfilling our vows to save sentient beings.
Practitioner B added that after the trial, we still have to maintain strong righteous thoughts to enable us to obtain satisfactory results, and for the court to establish an independent investigative committee.
