(Minghui.org) I have seen jealousy coming alive in two different forms when I sent forth righteous thoughts.
One day before the Chinese New Year, I noticed jealousy move through my mind continuously. I told it in my mind, “I will eliminate you since you finally made yourself seen.” As soon as I had this idea, I saw a big worm wrapped in black energy try to retreat into my abdomen. “Stop! You are doomed!” I said. It was dissolved as my righteous thoughts arose.
When I was doing the fifth exercise a few days ago, I noticed jealousy and sleepiness sneak up on me. I felt exhausted. I could have easily fallen asleep while I was sitting in the lotus position. I told them, “I won’t fall into your trap. You aren’t part of me. Don’t try to interfere.” I opened my eyes and forced myself to stay awake. At that moment, four or five figures who looked like me flew out of my forehead. Following them were three figures in sleeping postures and two with their left arms curled. I used to have trouble controlling my left arm and left leg. After these beings left, my left arm and leg felt strong and well-controlled within a couple of days.
Master Li (the founder of Falun Dafa) has told us,
“If a Buddha worshiper wants to get money, once he bows before a Buddha statue or a statue of Bodhisattva Guanyin or of a Tathagata and says, “Please, please help me get rich,” uh-oh, a complete idea forms. Since what he sends out is aimed at the statue it gets on it instantly.” (The Fifth Talk, Zhuan Falun)
I was shocked and scared on seeing these beings come out of my forehead. Cultivation is so serious! Any thought deviating from the Fa could invite bad beings. If we don’t eliminate them on time or don’t realize the importance of eliminating them, they will grow stronger and become more and more like us, and even control our thoughts and behaviors. We then will believe that they are our own thoughts and behavior. How terrible!
I used to ignore my little bit of jealousy I felt in my mind and hadn’t eliminated it, because I didn’t put enough stress on the serious nature of cultivation. I ended up breeding them and didn’t realized that they had been in control. How dangerous! My cultivation state improved a lot after they left.
