(Minghui.org) Since the U.S. election, we have been experiencing an influx of overwhelming and ever-changing developments. With the mainstream media and big-tech companies joining forces that blatantly denied the President of the U.S. the freedom of speech, the political arena is even more turbulent and frenzied.
This reminded some Dafa disciples of the situation before July 20, 1999, when the Chinese Communist Party formally began its persecution of Falun Dafa. I was in Beijing in 1999. Back then we heard all sorts of information from various channels: some from television, some from sources inside the government, and some from overseas disciples. This situation persisted until I left China in 2000. I had to admit that I was affected and disturbed a great deal by all the various claims.
The current situation in the U.S. is somewhat similar to what happened in China in 1999 right before the persecution began. We may have a Constitution expert who said this today and a senior Congressman who said that tomorrow. Some practitioners also analyzed the situation on their social media and speculated what could happen next, or what changes or surprises are on the way. Others said we should start to prepare for certain scenarios, etc.
After so many years of cultivation, we need to keep in mind what Master has taught us,
“Everything that happens on Earth is overseen by, and in the hands of, divine beings,...” (“Fa Teaching at the 2015 West Coast Fa Conference”)
“The situation in Mainland China seems chaotic, when it's actually very well-ordered.” (Teachings From a Tour of North America)
“...during the last ten-plus years, with all those trials and hardships, things have appeared quite chaotic. Dafa disciples have been persecuted by the wicked Party, with it arresting people everywhere, creating terror, and oppressing and attacking people, making quite a mess. But do you realize that there is an arrangement behind the chaos? And the thoughts and each and every move of every practitioner, of every person in the world, are being watched very closely and seen clearly. There is order to the “chaos,” and it was arranged.” (“Fa Teaching Given at the 2014 San Francisco Fa Conference”)
We knew that the persecution in 1999 was a celestial phenomenon and the old forces insisted on testing Dafa disciples through the harsh persecution. We also know that the current situation in the U.S. is yet another celestial phenomenon. But as Master reminded us:
“...the evil’s persecution of Dafa disciples is reaching a dead end, and the evil can hardly sustain itself anymore...” (“Fa Teaching at the 2019 New York Fa Conference,” Team Yellow Translation)
When the evil intended to launch the persecution of Dafa disciples in China in 1999, it mobilized all kinds of corrupted substances and factors from top to bottom across various levels of the cosmos. After so many years of purging and elimination by Dafa, it is completely impossible for the old forces to launch another persecution like that in 1999, much less a larger one in the United States.
Some people think an accident had happened in the election process that resulted in the current situation. In fact, we know that was not the case, as Master has taught us:
“The human mind is restricted and people’s intelligence is limited. So they are unable to realize these things, and they think that all of this is natural and coincidental. I say that nothing is “natural,” nor is there any such thing as “coincidence”—everything has its cause.” (Teachings at the Conference in Europe)
The reason for a situation like this to exist may be a thorough screening or a process of selection. With all the plain facts laid out in front of everyone, it’s up to them to decide what attitude they are taking toward the matter. In the process, the Divine only looks at the hearts and minds of the people regardless of race, party affiliation, class, or nobility.
The communist specter that has played a negative role in the persecution of Falun Dafa is now also interfering with the U.S. election. The tactics used in the persecution and the election are almost identical. Since the communist specter has almost been completely destroyed, it is impossible for it to reproduce the same level of evil in the election as in the persecution. The Chosen One, and those who walk with the Divine, are protected by the Creator. In my understanding, the process of the Fa-rectification will not allow any chaos in the world to continue for many more years, or even several more months.
When we alert the American people of the evil nature of communism, many sincere and honest Americans cannot imagine the evil deeds carried out by the communist regime. They think that communism is an experiment of a social system. A small number of people even think that it is not a bad idea to practice communism in the United States. It is even harder for them to imagine that they would be personally affected by the evil communist elements in the United States. The fact that this chaos and disturbances are happening right now directly shows the American people the evil nature of communism.
When the American people are awakened and truly recognize the evil nature of communism and when the Chosen One sits where he should, the next stage of the Fa-rectification will begin and all the dregs of humanity will be reckoned with. The remaining time before that takes place is left for Dafa disciples to clarify the truth.
In the past, there were always obstacles for the media run by practitioners to bring awareness of the persecution of Dafa to Western society; some people with a sense of justice will support it from the moral perspective of human rights, while others think that it is something that happens in China and has nothing to do with them.
The general election is related to the vital interests of almost everyone, and yet, people are not able to get truthful information from the mainstream media, not to mention how high-tech and social media are blocking, censoring, and deleting information.
Only the media established by Dafa disciples persevere in telling the truth on a large scale. Now people have realized its importance and sometimes hundreds of thousands of Americans come to Dafa disciples’ media on a daily basis, seeking the truth. Isn't this the best and most ingenious arrangement?
Above is my understanding at my current level. Please kindly point out any shortcomings.
