(Minghui.org) When I sent righteous thoughts one afternoon, I felt a strong energy around me. I thought I had done well, but the young practitioner next to me saw that the energy came from the old forces.

I said to the being generating that energy: “You take advantage of a Dafa practitioner's human side (in order to live in the human world, we have to have a human body), and prevent his divine side from using supernatural powers. How despicable. It is shameful to do that as a divine being. If you don't realize the shamefulness of your deed, you no longer qualify to be divine.”

The being remained silent but still covered me with his energy. I negated that feeling. And Master helped me negate the old force's energy shield.

Master told us:

“Some people go by how they feel in practicing something. What does your feeling account for? It is nothing.” (Zhuan Falun)

We should not be fooled by our feelings. Such feelings in the human body can easily trigger or trap us in human attachments. The main spirit is then misled to believe that the feeling is real.

In fact, it is not so. For example, take the feeling of drowsiness. One time when the young fellow practitioner was sending forth righteous thoughts, he said that he was very tired and sleepy. I said, "It might be that you are sleepy, but it might be that someone is interfering in your field."

He took a look and, sure enough, there was a being with a “bitter melon face” shooting “bitter pellets” at him. An ordinary person would be felled by just one pellet. Falun Dafa practitioners can withstand many more.

When the young practitioner saw that, he eliminated the “bitter melon face” and snatched all of the pellets. He instantly became more energetic. That “bitter melon face” is tiredness. It has many layers and it can replicate itself. It was not easy to eliminate it completely. As long as we do not acknowledge that drowsy feeling, Master will help us eliminate it.

There is another feeling that interferes with cultivators a great deal—the feeling of lust. It is not what you really feel, but something attached to you by a lust demon. If you believe it is coming from you, yourself, it will be hard to control.

If you refuse to acknowledge it, firmly negate it, and eliminate it, the feeling won't last long. If your ability is not high enough, as long as you are firm, Master will help you eliminate it. Some fellow practitioners have not done well in this regard. This is because they did not realize the core issue behind their feeling.

I've only discussed a few feelings, but there are a lot more.

What causes human feelings are the low-level substances in this environment, which are used to anchor human beings in this world and prevent them from elevating. If a cultivator is not able to break through their shackles, he will never achieve consummation.

For us Falun Dafa practitioners, our feelings also include what beings beyond the Three Realms generate for us. If we can break through those restraints, doesn't it mean that our realms have transcended that of those beings?
