(Minghui.org) I could access Minghui.org without much trouble for many years, even on those so-called sensitive days (designated by communist officials to describe periods of time when they intensify surveillance and information censorship). Occasionally, I could not access it, but I would overcome it quickly. However, last November, I could not access the website for half a month, and this was unprecedented. No matter what methods I tried, I could not get through.
Master said,
“They have never been able to block the Minghui website!” “When we break this blockade we are negating the old forces’ arrangements. We just won’t accept this persecution or the blockade.” (Teachings Given on Lantern Festival Day, 2003)
How was my access to it blocked? Did such a long blockade mean that the old forces’ arrangements were not negated? Did it mean that I recognized the old forces’ persecution and blockade? No matter how reluctant I was to accept it, in fact, at least I had not negated the old forces’ arrangements during that period.
I thought of many methods to overcome the blockade during that time, and I looked within for my shortcomings and attachments. But the problem remained. I sometimes thought that it was the last ditch effort of the evil factors and that I should ignore it and the problem would soon be resolved.
I studied the Fa for one hour one night. When I prepared to do something else, the word “treasure” suddenly appeared in my mind. I thought of the word and suddenly realized that I did not treasure the Minghui website and fellow practitioners’ experience sharing. Though I often browsed the Minghui website and downloaded articles, I just quickly read the articles without much focus and seemed to be downloading them for others. I glanced at the titles sometimes and did not read the Minghui Weekly carefully. I did not treasure the website. This was a big loophole. After I realized this point and made up my mind to change, I tried to access the website and it was easily done. When I recalled this incident, I realized that my loophole was taken advantage of by the old forces.
Later, I occasionally could not access the website. I looked within and noted my impatience. I would not rush when trying to access the website. I would get online and open the Freegate software. Generally, I have accessed the website quickly lately. It is stable with fast internet speed after opening. I have downloaded the movie Once We Were Divine and other videos without issues.
I think that the widespread internet blockade during this time is also a change in the current situation. The requirements for us to go online are higher. The requirements for Dafa practitioners to improve our mind nature is higher. Looking within is a treasure that Master gives to us. But we must know how to use it well. If we just look within generally and list all of our attachments, we might not find the attachments that block us and currently need to be removed. It would then be hard for us to improve. The internet blockade would not easily be broken through. Of course, Master is always protecting us and will give us hints. We must have righteous enlightenment.
