Previously, “following the course of nature” during individual cultivation was always stressed. It was important not to make things worse due to not seeing the predestined relationship and thus affect our cultivation as well as improvement. Then, precisely what is this “course of nature”? Actually, from my point of view it’s the high level being’s level-by-level arrangement, invisible control, existing condition, environment and requirement imposed on the lower level being. In addition, it’s the reflection and embodiment of the principles of the heaven at this level. In fact, the will of high-level beings becomes “the course of nature” for low-level beings. When a being at a low level isn’t sure about the true reason behind this “course of nature”, it becomes its so-called “natural path” and therefore is able to avoid violating the “laws” of high-level beings. Therefore, individual cultivation and ordinary people in the maze should conform to the principle of “following the course of nature”. In truth, the cultivation of Dafa disciples also has an arrangement, the arrangement of the old forces. Master just makes use of this “arrangement” in order to arrange the path for Dafa disciples.
We’ve passed through the individual cultivation phase and have progressed with the period of Fa rectifying the entire cosmos with the new cosmos subrogating the old one. How should we deal with this “following the course of nature”? The cosmos is undergoing the Fa rectification process so everything’s going through fundamental changes. All corruption, aberrance and impurities will be rectified; from our eyes this is now all “nature”. The “arrangement” of the old forces before it is rectified, doesn’t tally with the standard of Dafa and the new cosmos, and should be completely rejected. If everything goes along with “following the course of nature”, you’re already bound by the old concept. You are virtually tolerating the old forces “arrangement ”, providing “soil” for their survival and existence, as well as having a negative effect on the Fa rectification. The law of the old cosmos is the present and Dafa and Dafa disciples are creating the future “course of nature” at this time. Thus, for those phenomena, traditions and concepts apparently coming from the “course of nature”, we must judge from Dafa with our wisdom, analyze, discriminate, find out the true reason behind the “course of nature”, and eliminate it with our divine side. This then, eliminates, one by one, corrupted beings at the high levels, breaks through layers upon layers of arrangements made by the old evil forces which are in fact just illusions that appear to be “natural,” and awakens the beings who have been deceived by these illusions. From then on, “nature” is thereby changed and a future is thus created.
At present, if we still contain the notion of “following the course of nature” in our minds, we’ll unavoidably fall into the old force’s trap and artificially dampen our divine side.
This is my personal understanding for your consideration. If anything is incorrect, please point it out.
