(Minghui.org) The most difficult thing in cultivation is to change one’s existing notions. For example, I realized I was almost 70 when I looked at the calendar one day. I felt that time had passed by very quickly and I was getting old. It was only after I read sharing articles about this issue that I realized my thinking was based on a human notion.

We know from the Fa that Falun Dafa is a system of cultivating both mind and body. By improving one’s character, the body will be transformed into high-energy substances, which will slow down aging and transform the body into a more youthful state.

I have read the Fa every day for 24 years, and have recited Zhuan Falun many times. So why is it that I still cannot truly learn and understand the Great Law and still maintain a human way of thinking when I encounter problems?

The same is true in other areas. Human notions will pop up as soon as a specific problem is encountered. Some practitioners who are suffering from illness due to karma payback for a long time just can’t get past it. Although Falun Dafa adherents have a lot of discussions and share ideas with each other, their understanding is not elevated. I believe this happens because we do not truly understand the Fa.

Another example is that some practitioners have long since realized that it is Master who truly saves people and we are only aiding this process in our human form. I recently realized something about this. On the surface we tell people the facts about Falun Dafa and help them quit the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliates. In reality, Master has laid the groundwork for these things to happen in another dimension.

It is Master who brings predestined people to us and cleans up all the interference, resistance, and factors that hinder people’s salvation and the salvation of the entire cosmic body they represent. Only then can they understand the truths of the Great Law and have a chance to be saved. It is Master who really saves people, but Master gives the mighty virtue that is earned to his disciples.

Once we understand this, we will cherish the opportunity that Master has given us to establish mighty virtue and only then can we maintain a state of diligence. On the contrary, it is completely wrong and dangerous if we only look at what we have done on the surface and think that it is to our credit. That would be stealing credit from the heavens and opening the door to demonic interference in our hearts.

So why do we always look at things from the human perspective? Why can’t we see the Fa or understand the Fa when we always study the Great Law? Why can’t we look at everything from the perspective of the Fa?

I realize now it is partly because I have been influenced by atheism and the concepts of “seeing is believing” and “not believing without seeing” since I was a child. I consciously or unconsciously refuse to understand and accept everything beyond the human dimension. I cannot easily believe in things I cannot see. Therefore, I cannot understand the principles of the high-level Fa, and I am hindered by human notions. Hence, my xinxing elevates slowly.

As we know, every moment of a Dafa disciple’s life is guarded by Master Li (the founder of Falun Dafa). Without Master Li’s divine influence, we would not be able to cultivate for a single second. Our lives would be in danger at all times, because there are so many different beings in other dimensions. There may be lives that we have hurt before. They can see us, but we can’t see them. Wouldn’t it be easy for them to interfere with us? Judging from this point alone, we can say we are able to do things only because of Master’s protection.

Therefore, we must always maintain a grateful heart and be grateful to Master and to Dafa for reshaping and saving us so that each of us can return to our true selves. I am grateful to fellow practitioners and the articles in which they share their cultivation experiences and Minghui and Minghui Broadcasting. I am also thankful to my family, friends, and others who have created cultivation environments and tribulations for my elevation.

In almost every poem in Hong Yin VI, Master talks about the dangers of atheism. It seems that we must not and cannot wait to get rid of the concepts of atheism and evolution. We need to truly realize that it is serious and completely deny and eliminate it. We can’t allow it to hinder our assimilation of Dafa or hinder our divine and original side. Let us all stay on the path through this last stage of the Fa-rectification.
