V. The big wave of civilization's returning
Science itself
takes up the challenge
Western Science has developed rapidly in the
last 300 years. Based on observation and experiments of the tangible material
world, it is called “empirical science.” The biggest limit of this empirical science
is that it is not able to verify the existence of the spirit, the movement of
the spirit, the relationship between spirit and substance, and the effects of
spirit on substance. However, the human body is a unified whole of spirit and
substance. In addition, empirical science has left us, and even our descendants,
with too many unsolvable difficulties, such as shortage of resources, environmental
pollution, extinction of species, etc. The crises have come one by one.
Under
this circumstance, some bold scientists have begun to explore the fields that
empirical science has been avoiding, and their research results have broadened
people's perspectives. Scientist Ian Stevenson (M.D.) has produced a lot
of amazing results in his research on reincarnation. His work, such as Twenty
Cases Suggestive of Reincarnation, Children Who Remember Previous Lives:
A Question of Reincarnation, and Reincarnation and Biology: A Contribution
to the Etiology of Birthmarks and Birth Defects, with their high academic
reputation, won acceptance for the research on reincarnation in a large segment
of the population. Moreover, research on near death experiences has strongly indicated
that living beings have activities after the flesh body dies. It has also pointed
to the existence of other dimensions and other forms of living beings. Many published
books, papers and research results have already broken through the boundaries
and conclusions of conventional empirical science. Although they cannot
be explained by empirical science, these results challenge atheism a great deal.
Namely, other dimensions do exist, there are higher-level living beings, and human
lives reincarnate according to the “relationship of cause and effect.”
Looking
back at the process of this research, we find that the methods used are not those
of conventional empirical science, such as experimenting, returning to original
state, analyzing and proofing. Instead, researchers study lives and the human
body directly, and this is very close to the way the ancient Chinese science studied
the human body and living beings. Actually, the concepts of other dimensions and
reincarnation exist everywhere in Chinese traditional culture.
Most people
who have near death experiences have a very remarkable experience, which is, at
one single moment, they can see clearly everything they have done in their whole
life. This is because activities that did not leave any mark in this dimension
are clearly recorded in another dimension. At that moment, people feel guilty
and repent for every wrong deed they have done in their lives. The research also
pointed out that most people who have had a near death experience change their
worldview afterwards. They become more compassionate, positive, and no longer
seek fame and self-interest. This is solid evidence from modern science that validates
old traditions which value virtue and compassion; it is certainly not the Chinese
Communist Party (CCP)'s atheistic propaganda of “opiate of the masses” or
“spiritual mind-control.”
Meditation becomes popular in western society
In this century, the field of frontier science has become broader. The American
magazine Newsweek, on September 27, 2004, reported recent scientific evidence
of the relationship between the spirit and physical health. Actually, the United
States government spends 16 million dollars every year on research in this field.
According to a government survey, 50% of Americans are trying some spiritual methods
to bring about physical heath. The Massachusetts Medical School offers a course
in which people are taught how to reach physical and spiritual health via meditation,
and more than 15 thousand people have taken this class. The research found that
meditation is useful to reduce pain and anxiety. A psychologist at the University
of Kentucky, Ruth Baer, said that, in the past, the modern scientific community
ignored this field, but now more and more researchers are starting to pay attention
to it.
Meditation, such a simple method, has not been recognized in western
society until recently, but in ancient Chinese society, every educated person
was taught to meditate and was expected to do so. The Washington Post reported
new research results from Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,
which say that being psychologically stressed out speeds up the aging process.
Most Chinese people would smile at this “news,” because anyone with a bit of superficial
understanding of Chinese traditional culture would not feel that this is something
new.
VI. The returning of lives, the conqueror of atheism
As
part of a worldwide movement of returning to tradition, research on Qigong began
in China in the 1970s. Research institutes recorded a large amount of evidence
of supernormal phenomena and human supernormal abilities, such as the supernormal
ability of clairvoyance and the ability of teleportation. Thus, practicing Qigong
reached its peak of popularity. Some practiced Qigong just for healing illnesses
and keeping fit, and later, many people saw that they could gain fame and money
through Qigong, so they started to pursue supernormal abilities. However, some
people lost their supernormal abilities as a result of showing them off. Many
people were confused as to what was the truth and what was illusion, and were
torn between the concepts of materialism and idealism. Although many high-ranking
CCP officers had been enjoying healing illness and keeping fit with the help of
a Qigong master, they still argued over the issue of “Materialism and Idealism”
inside the CCP.
In 1992, Falun Gong was introduced to the public. Master
Li Hongzhi told people at the very beginning of his lectures and in his book,
Zhuan
Falun, that the primary purpose of his coming to the public was “to guide
people to high levels.” He also told the Qigong practitioners clearly and directly
that Qigong was simply called cultivation practice in the past, and it existed
in traditional Chinese culture. Falun Gong is cultivation practice, and its practitioners
follow the principle of “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance,” improve themselves
by upgrading their xinxing
and doing five sets of exercise. Cultivators' bodies will be transformed
completely, and finally one can reach enlightenment. Master Li Hongzhi revealed
the mysteries of cultivation practice in Chinese culture in simple, clear language.
In
just seven years, and by word of mouth alone, Falun Gong spread to nearly one
hundred million people, from everywhere and every level of society in China. Under
several decades of the CCP's brute-force control, which destroyed Chinese
traditional culture, many people had become stubborn atheists. However, after
practicing cultivation and witnessing the miraculous healing of illness, which
could not be explained by modern physiology, and even seeing the other dimensions,
several decades of atheism's influence disappeared at once. The traditional
culture of thousands of years was awakened once again in China. Man's wish
to return to his true self is natural and good, however, it perturbed the CCP's
evil spirit.
In seven years, although the number of Falun Gong practitioners
had become very large, they never tried to build up any business or enterprise
in Chinese society, where money is highly valued. They did not try to open a super
company, despite the large number of practitioners. They did not even have an
office. This shows that Falun Gong practitioners do not seek influence and power
in society. What they consider important in their lives is practicing the exercises
and reading Falun Gong books, which guide practitioners to practice cultivation.
So, when the basic right of doing the exercises and reading Falun Gong books were
violently taken away, Falun Gong practitioners adopted the most peaceful ways
to appeal.
However, Falun Gong practitioners' peaceful appeals made
Jiang Zemin, an ambitious and narrow-minded person, jealous and angry. On the
evening of April 25, 1999, after the Falun Gong practitioners' appeal, Jiang
wrote a letter to CCP's Politburo members stating, “The number of the participants
in this incident is the second largest after the one in 1989 in Beijing. Cannot
Marxism, materialism and atheism, in which we in the Communist Party believe,
defeat the beliefs of Falun Gong? If not, it would be a big joke.”
It is
really a big joke that the 50-year-old evil spirit of the Communist Party, which
has maintained control in China for 50 years by beating, destroying, robbing,
killing, and deceiving, tries to challenge a 5000-year-old culture which was given
to man by gods. Low level spirits may control and enslave humankind, but they
are afraid of gods. When people have righteous belief, all the gods above will
help them–this is common sense in the community of cultivators. The evil spirit,
which has brought harm to China for 50 years, has now met its conqueror.
The
evil spirit was anxious, so Jiang Zemin screamed, “Eliminate Falun Gong within
three months!” The evil spirit tried to not only eliminate Falun Gong from the
land of China, but also stretched its tentacles to every corner of the world.
It used all the methods and experiences of torturing people, which it had developed
and used for the past 80 years.
It has been five years since the persecution
of Falun Gong began. The CCP has exhausted all the methods they can think of,
still its goal has not been reached. On the contrary, the murderers who participated
in the persecution of Falun Gong are afraid of Falun Gong practitioners now. The
number of Falun Gong practitioners is increasing. There are practitioners in more
than 60 countries and from all ethnicities and walks of life. Master Li Hongzhi's
books, which are banned by the CCP, have been translated into more than 30 languages
and published all over the world.
How did this happen? Facing the most shameless
evil and unscrupulous political criminals, a group of unarmed kind people, who
just want to be good people in society, peacefully resisted, and they have not
been eliminated. What power is supporting them? Actually, it is the manifestation
of the gods' power and wisdom in the human world. If one still does not believe
it, then please think about it. Why is the Communist Party so afraid of all the
theists? From killing Tibetans to killing Falun Gong practitioners and underground
Christian church members, one sees that kindhearted people with spiritual beliefs
are always the objects of the Communist Party's cruel killing. This is because
the conflict between gods and this low level spirit is unavoidable. Gods are the
conquerors of this low level spirit. A normal society is not afraid of any thoughts,
and a country that is advancing will allow different beliefs. Only the Communist
Party irrationally tries to control people's thoughts with brutal and outrageous
methods, and only this evil spirit has such a desire. However, it has already
failed. In fear, it is waiting for the judgment and punishment from gods.
VII. Conclusion
Chinese traditional culture has gone through a lot
of difficulties, and in the past fifty years it has been severely damaged by the
CCP. However, the greatest perception of Chinese culture is its understanding
of the principle of mutual-generation and mutual-inhibition, a principle which
posits that things reverse when they reach an extreme.
In five years, Falun
Gong practitioners, through the sacrifice of their blood and lives, have proved
that righteous belief is solid and unshakable. The great character of the Chinese
people has been manifested by ordinary Falun Gong practitioners, and the stories
of the great Chinese heroes told for generations have also been embodied by Falun
Gong practitioners.
History has selected the Chinese language and culture,
and assigned its broad content and responsibility. Chinese culture will be purified
and restored to its original nature, and all mysteries will be revealed. After
the current disaster, the light of the universal law will shine down from heaven.
