Sending forth righteous thoughts means using our supernormal abilities to eliminate evil elements in other dimensions. Our level of cultivation determines our supernormal abilities. The higher our cultivation level is, the stronger our energy will be. Increased practice could conceivably strengthen our energy and transform it into supernormal capabilities. If we practice more and use our supernormal abilities frequently, we can perhaps use them at will.
Recently, I saw many practitioners sending forth righteous thoughts around the clock. At that time I was a little bit doubtful. Does this involve too much intent, sending out righteous thoughts with such frequency? I thought that if our cultivation level was not upgraded and our energy was not powerful enough, then it might not be useful to rely only on sending forth righteous thoughts. It appears that some practitioners only pay attention to sending forth righteous thoughts. This makes me feel that they have missed the key to cultivation practice, which is to study Fa and cultivate one's heart.
So, how can we strengthen our righteous thoughts? My personal experience is this: first of all, we must put down completely our individuality and put cultivation in the first place in our daily life. Only when we reach the state of an enlightened being can our righteous thoughts come out. This is what we should be clear on and live up to. The essence of cultivation is to study the Fa and to look inward more in daily life. The level of cultivation may not be upgraded in one day. Moreover, cultivation is a long and hard process, and there is no shortcut.
The tremendous force of Fa-rectification does not wait for us. Those who did not strive hard enough for cultivation before and those of us who could not make breakthroughs should catch up with the majority, make up for missed lessons, and keep up with the progress of Fa-rectification as soon as possible. It is very urgent! But, at the same time, we cannot neglect the importance of sending forth righteous thoughts with increased frequency. On the contrary, those who have not kept pace should pay more attention to sending forth righteous thoughts and do so even more than others. Let me draw on an analogy to rowing a boat. The practitioners who cultivate well can go further with one stroke of the paddle, but those who didn't do well will not get as far. They drop behind. What should they do? Paddle more and do more. Rome was not built in one day, as the saying goes. If one does not have a bulldozer but only a hoe, then one has to dig every day. If those who did not do well fail to pay more attention to sending righteous thoughts, the evil will persecute them more insanely, and their tribulations would be bigger. If they do not do well, they may not overcome it.
I once heard a practitioner in China talking about his experience. In the detention center where he was imprisoned, the only thing he did was to constantly send forth righteous thoughts and recite the formulas. He was the first person to be released. It stands to reason then, that we must pay more attention to sending forth righteous thoughts. Recently, it has become very important to send righteous thoughts at frequent intervals to eliminate as soon as possible the evil forces behind the head evil. We should not shy away from our responsibilities as Fa-rectification disciples.
