this is an email that i’ve just sent out to my local council here in london and to related agencies in order to further clarify the situation of persecution and cultivation. i thought the general public deserves to know at the same time. hope you appreciate …
[ some addendum on the GREY ZONE paper, an open letter to my local government ]
A lot of people aren’t quite clear what this really means, ‘persecution’, or what cultivation in a secular setting (as it is for instance practiced with Falun Dafa) is all about. While much of this confusion is actually part of the entire cultivation process and considered also a major part of the cultivation environment that this place of the Three Realms is providing, it also has meant that throughout the dissemination of the Fa, everyone – from top to bottom, bottom to the top – has been taking their true position amidst a framework of delusion.
As things have been progressing since 1999, most people have come to understand that Falun Gong is persecuted in China and a lot of them have been inclined to think that it’s simply a situation of a repressive government being scared of its political stronghold over a sheepishly led populace. That this persecution is performed with the most sinister and evil atrocities hitherto known to man is less well known. It is utilizing thousands of years of practice in psycholgical, social, physical and cultural oppression and coercion while new technology enhances reach, scope and depth by a thousandfold. If it is indeed known, then most of the time it’s simply ignored for its uncomfortable darkness and for the sake of practical benefits that lie right in front of unfettered Western (even some Eastern) day-to-day lives.
Some people might’ve heard about practitioners’ particularly healthy organs being removed while the victims are still alive (in order to ‘donate’ them to sick members of their sick party or trade them to fortune-paying recipients worldwide), not many are aware that the persecution of the Great Law of Heaven is actually happening all across the world – through lies and slander and a large-scale suppression of publicly available information. Yes, that’s right. It involves enormous issues. While cheap steel from China is great to bolster the lucrative bubble of a property frenzy and high-margined sneakers or micro-chipped gadgets perfect to keep Western people’s lifestyles ‘happy’, not many know that the persecution has resulted in the methodical torture and a death toll of many thousands – if not millions – of Buddha Law cultivating Jesuses, Lao Tzus, Saint Marys, Avalokitesvaras and Shakyamunys.
Throughout the modern world, while quite a few people sense that sticking their heads out for Truth might easily result in losing it, only very few know that in reality hundreds of millions have been killed worldwide since the last century or so, to uphold the grand Deception and Lie of what the world – Reality – is supposed to mean for us. What history is like. What the united world’s ministry of truth deems disinformation. What is allowed and legal to think and feel. What the only official great leap forward must be.
In other words, while on the surface things seem to have been progressing and moving forward into a sophisticated, technologically advanced and culturally diverse, civilized worldwide bee-hive transhumanist community of peaceful cohabitation – seen from a higher level, countless entries in the infernal ledger of eternal damnation have been happening meanwhile behind the scenes. Didn’t Jesus and Yahweh talk about what would happen to those persecuting prophets and saints? Doesn’t true power always work covertly and use deception and lies to hide, abuse and manipulate?
Now, bringing this back down from the perception of a cultivator to that of a writer – for those who don’t believe in the Divine, some of the above might as well sound like a crazy story. However, for everything (except of course the ‘ledgers of hell’) there exist tangible mundane records and references. Most intellectuals know about the reality of our present world government. Many are aware of its shadowy communist / revolutionary / masonic backgrounds. Some might’ve had a chance to make themselves knowledgeable about the actual reasons behind it. However, very few were allowed to take on board implications of higher denominations. “Like some ancient Hebrew prophet, he cried, ‘I offer you living or dying;. ;Hasten’, he cried.” A little quote of Mr. Bernard Baruch’s world views in front of the League of Nations right after Hiroshima and Nagasaki, recorded dutifully by Douglas Reed, just to give you some hints and pointers.
As to the entires in ledgers, I’d like to refer to the Buddhist saying that Buddhas would never punish people but merely feel pity for anyone so ignorant to transgress the Law. The ‘Law’ being of course the Dao or Fa – or Nature as we usually call it in the West. In the Dao school it’s always been clear that Matter moves within the scope of space-time (aka dimensional planes) along certain Trajectories, and that if there are Trajectories there must also be a Law. It’s pure Logic, no? And instead of ‘Gods’ you might also look at Reality in more Aristotelian terms of Higher Matter will always ‘control’ Matter that lies ‘below’. One Unmoved Mover.
Anyway, my work talks a lot about these things, using notions of Psychology, analogies of Scriptures and the language of Common Sense – apart from the obvious Art and Humour. That I’m shedding a bit of light into deception is one of the reasons why I’m blacklisted, oppressed, ignored and thus persecuted.
Coming back, then, to cultivation and persecution. What I’m trying to say is that we cultivators are actually well aware (and this is particularly the case with Falun Dafa practitioners) that we cannot truly be persectued. Who can persecute us? Even if we lose our lives, gong has still grown on our bodies and we carry on cultivation in our next pre-arranged entry (or maybe even reach consummation while ‘shedding’ our mortal ‘skin’). It’s already been such a blessing to begin with, to be allowed to be part of such a high-level school, as in the past, finishing cultivation in only one lifetime seemed nearly impossible. Should we be persecuted, even tortured, all it means that our stature (‘Attainment Status’) would rise even higher than what we had originally. However, we Falun Dafa practitioners don’t try to increase our statuses. We’re primarily practising maintaining virtue. Chances are that we’ve gone through many lifetimes of hardships and persecution already, just to be finding ourselves here, in this particlar period of human history, with the fruit status that is required to cultivate Dafa, the Great Law, during the Fa-rectification period. What we’re doing is assimilate as much as we can to ordinary society and while we’re doing this, we’re doing our cultivating (rather than go off to monasteries, forests or mountains). And while we’re cultivating here in this world, we’re also helping people see the truth. In my own example, this entails following my line of work and turn the business that lies underneath it into a viable, profitable one. Financial hardship is not what we need for cultivation (as opposed to many former beliefs about cultivation). On the contrary, if our line of work is predestined to generate cash, then that’s only another cultivation state that we discern while at the same time it would, of course, also facilitate any of our truth clarification activities. Wouldn’t it be great to shoot-up a satellite that can jam the venomous anti-dafa propaganda in China?
In other words, persecution of Falun Gong should never have happened. But it did. And the massive forces involved are what I’d like to call ‘unspeakable’. They’re spelled out a little more clearly for us cultivators. I can and do not want to do it. Yet I’ve hinted at them throughout my work and those who truly want to know, can certainly do so. Separate pearls from the fish-eyes. It’s a matter of insight.
Thus – those who’re really persecuted are in fact the world’s people. It is mankind that’s not allowed to know what Falun Dafa is all about. And it’s numerous high-level beings who’ve expressly come here, at this particular moment in time to obtain the new Fa, who’re actually being persecuted.
Sounds hard to believe? How could an event of such enormity possibly remain hidden? Am I not just a nut-case zealot? A mad end-of-the world prophet? Am I trying to scare or impress or pretend to posses knowledge by acting overly confident?
Well to be honest, in order for me to be allowed to spell things out like this already means two things:
First, we have now come to the final stage. Truth has surfaced to this very extent and this is also mirrored in the more grounded spelling-out that my work, particularly draft magazine, has meanwhile reached.
Second, none of this spelling-out could’ve been achieved – not even attempted – without being ‘guarded over’ or ‘sanctified’ by ‘heaven’. So for example, it’s perfectly clear to me (and I believe to most of you) that this email (like any other email sent through the information super-highway) is transparent to every secret agent in the world. Nothing can be done or even thought of without being monitored by higher levels of beings. The fact that talented kids can hack into your CCTV systems is only a practical joke in regards to this matter. Which levels of heaven do the kids come from, even if their statuses are outcasts here in this world? Which bedroom and secretly performed deed is not ‘somewhere’ recorded? Who’s recording the recorder? Who’s using the black-op operators? Who’s pushing the buttons of those in charge of pushing the buttons?
So to round up this exposition, the stakes of the end-game have been raised to the extent that the culture of struggle that lies underneath most people’s purpose in life now compels those that are subscribing to it push the buttons of a Machine against their fellow men. The Machine has been inserted to increasingly separate us from each other. Somehow money can be said to be the bloodline of this machinery. Although this might not really have to be the case. The intricacies of trade and ownership go much deeper than just the issuing of legal-tender currency.
While existential removal has been almost accomplished – black-lists and dead-end jobs for those who know – the last step of physical removal seems to have been launched as we speak through diminishing water, food and accomodation supply.
As I’m sure you’re aware, I’m perfectly clear about the fact that no matter which profession someone is in, whichever line of work or status in society, it’s only the human heart that really matters in the end. So the key to keep standing while the Machine is being disintegrated, is to follow one’s own conscience, rather than blindly obey orders. The key is to find the individual Grey Zone (see paper of the same name) and abandon all hopes for a continued collective advancement.
Of course, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to know one’s own conscience as we’ve all been swept into the dye-vat of our surrounding modern society – however warped it may be. Seen psychologically, survival within a system is a matter of following prevailing group canons. It’s important to understand that there are groups within groups within groups within groups. Who’s black? Who’s white? It better be a Grey Stance. Seen spiritually, survival is a matter of remaining steadfast in one’s righteous beliefs even while in an increasing chaos everybody else tries to bring you over to their side.
