After a period of time, Practitioner B found Practitioner A, and A told B what had happened to her. Practitioner B didn't understand the situation and the story was spread amongst some practitioners in the area.

Meanwhile, when I sent forth righteous thoughts, I saw that the situation had turned very serious in another dimension. Initially, there were several practitioners in danger, and later I saw that others had been arranged by the old forces to play a negative role. Finally I understood that the old forces hadn't just made the arrangement to persecute a few practitioners, they wanted to persecute many practitioners and drag them down.

While sending forth righteous thoughts, I saw that the old forces had arranged for several practitioners to play a negative role. Initially, at a very high level in the old universe, these practitioners signed a contract with the old universe's gods to interfere with Dafa. As they descended to earth, they signed contracts at each layer of the universe, and in the process of descending they discussed how they would coordinate with each other to play this negative role. When manifested in the human world, the incident with Practitioner A would spread among this group of practitioners, and they would criticize me. Some practitioners who didn't understand the real situation also helped spread what had transpired.

Looking at the situation in another dimension, the practitioners who were confused believed those who were interfering, who were grouped with the bad elements, and their cultivation levels dropped. I saw the following scene while sending forth righteous thoughts. A group of practitioners who had the image of a Buddha sat on lotus flowers. Those who interfered with Dafa had a black substance on their bodies, and some of them tried to approach the ones sitting on the lotus flowers. When the practitioners who were sitting on the flowers firmly pushed them away, the practitioners who were seeking to interfere retreated immediately. When some of the practitioners who had been sitting on the lotus flowers got down and joined the practitioners who were trying to interfere, their bodies immediately turned black and their cultivation levels dropped. The lotus flowers they had been sitting on also disappeared, as if they had never existed.

We can't look at this incident with human sentimentality and understanding. Those who were involved, as well as those who saw or heard of the incident, should think about it with rationality. For example, when Practitioner A was carrying out the old force's plan to interfere with the Fa and persecute other practitioners, avoiding contact with Practitioner A would have been the most righteous way to negate the old forces arrangements and stop the persecution. The best way to approach the situation was to handle it with good intention and kindness. The practitioners who had interfered weren't rational, so their words and actions were not righteous at the time. They continued to walk the path the old forces had arranged for them.

This incident was not the usual kind of conflict that occurs among practitioners, and neither was it an arrangement by Teacher to provide an opportunity to raise our cultivation levels. It was an old-force arrangement to destroy and persecute practitioners.

While sending forth righteous thoughts, Teacher allowed me to see the following: The intention of the old forces was to destroy half of the practitioners in our area. We were one body in another dimension, and this manifested in the shape of a pagoda. The pagoda was gold and shiny. During this incident, the old forces' arrangement was to destroy half of the pagoda, that is, half of the practitioners. I saw how this happened. The old forces dragged down some of the practitioners. Their primordial spirits are now in hell and their human bodies are full of serpents and low level spirits. If they don't seize the moment and continue cultivating in Dafa, the old forces may soon destroy them.

Early last year, those practitioners whose arrangement was to interfere with Dafa continued to spread their unrighteous opinions. As their opinions and remarks spread wider, more practitioners were involved and their cultivation levels dropped. The situation became more serious. In another dimension, the evil forces were a frightening black color that covered a portion of our local area. The dark area became larger. Not too long ago, while sending forth righteous thoughts, I saw a gigantic lotus flower that represented the one body of the local practitioners. The center of the lotus flower was on fire, indicating that the situation was very dangerous. Some of the practitioners fell. After I finished sending forth righteous thoughts, the fire was extinguished, but one of the petals was partially destroyed. The flower was now missing about two petals, symbolizing that more practitioners had fallen. Teacher has pointed out that as long as these fallen practitioners awaken and restore the losses they have caused Dafa, they will still be able to return, and the lotus flower could be perfect again. Teacher also pointed out that once the practitioners who had interfered with Dafa understood the real situation, they should not do any Dafa work, but should only study the Fa, practice the exercises, and send forth righteous thoughts. This would be the best thing for them to do, because as soon as they did something, they would be on the path arranged by the old forces. They should not attempt to restore what they had destroyed, because the old forces are still controlling them. In another dimension, they are still under the control of the bad elements and they would play a negative role as soon as they did something. Teacher also indicated that other practitioners should not contact them or give them the opportunity to do anything negative.

While sending forth righteous thoughts, I also saw that some of the practitioners who had fallen were caught by a gigantic lotus flower. A gigantic golden Zhuan Falun also appeared on the flower. I realized that more practitioners were supposed to fall, but Dafa saved some of them and reduced the number of practitioners that had fallen.

I saw that the practitioners who had fallen had signed a contract in the old universe, agreeing to be dragged down by those who interfered with Dafa. They also signed contracts at each level as they descended. As I broke through each level, I destroyed the contracts they had signed. Later, Teacher gave me a golden pen. I used the pen to void all the contracts, and they became white sheets of paper. I got rid of the white sheets of paper, too.

The contract signed by the practitioners who were dragged down was different from the contract signed by the ones who agreed to interfere. Those who agreed to interfere came to persecute other practitioners, whereas those who agreed to be dragged down were being persecuted.

Some of the practitioners who came to interfere are already in hell. Their human bodies are full of serpents and low-level spirits. Although some of them are not in hell yet, they are in a perilous situation. Of the ones who signed the contract, a few negated the old-force arrangements as they cultivated. They stopped interfering and have become true Dafa practitioners.

Teacher gave me hints to help me write down what I saw when I sent forth righteous thoughts. Although what I saw was partial and limited, I hope this insight will help practitioners look at issues with more rationality, and completely negate the old forces arrangements. Of course, what I saw cannot guide practitioners in their cultivation. We should always treat the Fa as Teacher and look inward when encountering problems.

When I thought about this incident afterwards, I realized that things happened for a reason. The practitioners who interfered with Dafa didn't know about the specific circumstances I saw with my celestial eye. They added their speculation, imagination, and judgment to what they had heard, and spread their irrational understandings to others. It would not be difficult to see their strong human attachments if those around them looked at the issue with rationality. The key is that everyone should look inward, raise their xinxing level, improve themselves, and coordinate and support each other well. Personal attacks don't help anyone. Why couldn't some of the practitioners distinguish the words and actions that were not based on the Fa, or that were not practitioner-like? Why did practitioners give those bad elements the opportunity to interfere? This incident should be a reminder that it is time to reflect and raise our levels. Let us look inward and not be attached to others' attachments, be kind to each other, and truly break through the old forces arrangements.
