(Minghui.org) Quite a few practitioners in my local area were recently arrested or died from sickness karma. I couldn't understand how this could have happened.

I shared my confusion with two practitioners, and we came to the conclusion that failure to completely eliminate the communist specter from our minds probably played a role in the arrests and deaths.

They suggested that I read Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party a few more times.

I had listened to the audio version several times, but had never read the book. I usually listened to the recording while doing other things, so I did not really pay full attention.

After sharing with the two practitioners, I decided to read the book.

When it was time for sending forth righteous thoughts, I had read ten pages or so, so I put the book aside. I saw the following with my third eye towards the end of my sending forth righteous thoughts.

The scene of me reading the Nine Commentaries flashed back in my mind. As soon as I opened the book, a golden ball of energy emerged to shock a red dragon that was behind my back. Nine swords later flew out of the book and disintegrated the red dragon. As I kept reading, an angel emerged from the book to wipe out the hammer and sickle (the symbol of Communism) on my forehead.

What I saw with my third eye reminded me of Master's teaching in “Stay Clearheaded,”

“Don’t harbor any false hopes about the evil CCP. This sinister demon came here to destroy mankind. As you clarify the facts, you must get the world's people to see its nature clearly. Dafa disciples shouldn’t harbor any fantasies about it. It has taken the lives of millions of Dafa disciples over these years of persecution. And over the course of a century, the wicked Party has, around the world, murdered hundreds of millions all told. The evil specter behind the wicked Party has used people in this world to harm others. If those who live under the wicked Party’s rule can manage to see it for what it is, there is hope for them. Those who refuse to forsake it will disintegrate together with it in the mass elimination. Dafa disciples need to stay clearheaded while they do their best at the three things.”

I suddenly understood what Master meant by “it has taken the lives of millions of Dafa disciples.” Those numbers not only included practitioners who died as a result of persecution, but also those who lost their lives after suffering sickness karma.

Close to 50 practitioners in our area have died from “sickness karma” since the persecution began. Some of them actively did the three things, but they couldn't stop reading newspapers or watching TV programs that were filled with CCP propaganda.

Though these practitioners said that they did not acknowledge the communist specter, their actions indicated otherwise, which may have eventually cost them their lives. After all, the evil will relentlessly persecute practitioners when it is given an opening.

I suggest that we read the Nine Commentaries more carefully and more frequently, assuming that it does not interfere with the three things. We will not be able to return to heaven bearing the communist mark. I hope that we will all pay more attention to this matter in this last stage of the Fa rectification period.

As a postscript to my above sharing, I experienced discomfort in my throat right after I finished writing the article. I began coughing, and felt awful the next day. I knew that the evil had attacked me for fear of being exposed, so I talked to some more practitioners about the importance of eliminating the communist specter. I soon recovered.
