For a while now I have been doing all kinds of things on a computer that are of no use for the Fa, like chatting, playing games etc.
I knew this was not good, and not the work I should be doing in Fa-Rectification. Excuses like "that can't harm me, I'm a Dafa Disciple," or "Just a little longer," made me follow my attachments and desires, and believe that it was not that bad. With Master's help, I realized and made up my mind to only do things for Dafa again. That night I had a dream I would like to share with you. I saw a beautiful paradise with people living in it, and I thought about the story of "Adam and Eve" as I saw a man and woman beside a small river there. I don't know if the male person was me, a friend of mine or a caricature, but he suddenly wanted to go into the small river for a swim or something. The river was not at all big, but rather looked like an innocent little stream. When he was in the water, the river suddenly got bigger, and he turned to go up to the shore again. When he turned around there were some small but ugly demons between him and the shore. He then went a little further out in the river, maybe to get away from them. As he did this, the river got even much bigger and a lot more demons appeared between him and the shore. He then went further out, and the further away he went, the more demons and monsters came up out of what had now become a sea. He then decided to swim to the other side, just to get onto hard ground, and as soon as he had this thought, the other side was right in front of him. He got up on land, looked back, and saw that he was standing on a huge cliff, with a large sea under him. The sea was full of big monsters, ugly demons and weird life forms, so he decided to look around there. As he looked at the place, it was all grey and black. It was full of unhappy people hanging from three big columns by ropes around their necks. It was awful there, and a kind of weird silence hung over the place. The people didn't know that other lighter and brighter places existed. I think that if they came down from where they were hanging, some demons would come and scare them up again, so they just kept hanging there, saying nothing.
Maybe the man jumped off of the cliff into the water again. I can't remember much more except that I fought many demons that night. Either way I realized something. That is, it is really important to get rid of all self-interests that blind us to the pure and bright place we were born into. We cannot waste our time doing whatever we would like to do; we are Dafa disciples and must do what we should do according to Dafa. We must be upright at all times, and not go the slightest bit astray, even in small matters. Only Dafa can take us home to where we belong, and truly save us from this blackness and blindness people live in today. We should also tell others about the Truth that can make them see their real homes once again, so that they too can turn away from suffering towards real happiness, and get back to where the flowers grow.
