Living A True Life with FALUN DAFA

Greetings! Once upon a time around two years ago it all started for me. The Magic brought on by the "AWAKENING" and "CULTIVATION" of this little universe, or Being I reflect on when I look into a mirror and call it my Self. Let me begin my story with the explanation that I died in a car accident 8 years ago. I've been told that I would not be alive today if the accident did not take place in the yard of a doctor who was backing out of his driveway at that moment (talk about destiny), who managed to get me breathing again and a helicopter to take me to the hospital where I lived for a year. I have a left hemisphere brain injury which has taken much of my memory of the last 30 years of my life away. It took me about 7 months to learn to walk again. I could not read or write for over 6 years, what a boring, useless, and lonely life this turned out to be. So I would spend my days drinking, smoking pot and taking drugs just to tolerate my wasteful and useless existence. Then along comes destiny trying to catch my attention and lead me through and out of this maze of confusion we call life. A book known as "ZHUAN FALUN" (Revolving Law Wheel) is wonderfully powerful, anyone who's read it will tell you it explains and leads one towards and down the path of the cultivation of our individual being or self.

This book is overflowing with the "Truths" of reality and the existence of our 'Being' in and as a part of "LIFE". It is written and presented to us by the Master teacher Li Hongzhi with a compassionate understanding of the need to help us with the guidance through this MAZE of misunderstandings that we find ourselves lost and temporarily trapped in. I wish to try to express and explain the adjustment my Being's been undergoing since I have awakened to the reality of my Life and the purposeful cultivation of such a gift. I think one would have to live in my shoes to experience this short-term memory loss I suffer from, did I eat breakfast yet today? I couldn't remember in those days. And I could not read well enough to tolerate the challenge of trying to learn again. Drugs and alcohol would camouflage my loneliness so as to tolerate the wastefulness I felt. Some would call it coincidence. But I prefer to look at it as a miracle involved with my cultivation. When I opened the book "Zhuan Falun", I could read all of a sudden. I felt as if I was waking up. And at the same time when I started reading, I forgot all about smoking and drinking, and had no thought or desire to do so anymore. Now to those who would say that these first two miracles are just all in my mind, I would say we all have 'Free Will' and are allowed to choose what we settle for when we mold our belief systems.

However, this third event in my ascension through the cultivation of my Being's development was nothing less than a full-blown miracle (the type of seeing it to believe it). One morning, when I was working in my garden, I accidentally dropped a big log on my finger, broke and cut it pretty badly. I was in a lot of pain. At that time, my wife was ready to do the Falun Dafa exercises. So she suggested that we do these movements together which she had been involved in already for a few months, but I had not taken very seriously as of yet. These movements apparently adjust our Being's development and change our bodies on a subatomic level by cleansing the bad karma from our bodies that we have earned and developed throughout our lives. Not that I necessarily had a lot of blind faith, or expectations in the event about to take place, I was just looking to try and calm down. I was told just do the movements, remain tranquil with no mind intent. 10 minutes later, my finger felt a little better. 10 more minutes later, a lot better. 30 minutes later, by the time we were done, there was no sign of any damage to my finger anymore. No longer black and blue, no longer felt broke. The inch long cut was miraculously healed. It's hard to believe but absolutely true. That experience turned out to be truly a magical event, I still find it hard to accept as reality but I have a witness in case I forget. Next I find myself more diligently practicing the movements and keep in mind that for the last 6 years I've had no feeling in my right arm due to the operation done on my brain that caused me to have a stroke. One Saturday, I was practicing on the Mall in D.C. While I was holding the Wheel, my back began hurting real bad, then all of a sudden, -POP- a loud pop sound came from the middle of my back. Seconds later, -POP-, another loud pop sound came from my wrist, suddenly I had feeling in my arm once again. I was told that my charkro must have been unblocked. Of course, some would simply call that a physical alignment. But I call it another miraculous event.

I could go on and on about these miraculous events happening to me. Instead, I'd like to try and explain some realizations I've been awakening to, which are helping me solidify the construction or development of my everlasting and eternal "Being". All the great Master teachers have periodically appeared throughout the ages, and have been trying to guide us through and out of this maze of confusion. As we are children of our "FATHER-CREATOR", the only way for us to return to our originality is by assimilating with the nature of the universe-Truth Compassion Tolerance. But due to the confusion brought on by -Our Own- free will which is no one else's fault but our own, we have lived in a short-sighted view of life and build on -belief systems- with untrue or shaky foundations. The book of "ZHUAN FALUN" can and will give those with the desire and destiny for life filled with enlightenment a chance to cultivate your Own True nature that is not filled with loads of attachments, which drag you down into this maze of misunderstanding, which Eternal Beings do not hold on to. What makes Falun Dafa so appealing to those seeking after the truth about life is simply obvious to anyone who will look with an open mind and heart of understanding. While observing these Falun Dafa practitioners, you will notice the Truthfulness that flows in a natural way from their Being. You will also sense the kindness and compassion being transmitted with their presence. And they seem to project a certain tolerance, forbearance, and endurance towards disharmonious situations. These coincidentally and by no accident just happen to be the foundation underlying the teachings of Falun Dafa, (Zhen Shan Ren) - Truth Compassion Tolerance. I've never felt more at home and comfortable since I've taken part in this cultivation. This book is waking me up from this maze and has completely changed my outlook of life. In this so-called reality, as long as we surround ourselves with all kinds of attachments, and live in unbalanced and unjust ways of dealing with life as if it were some kind of accident, we will continue sleepwalking through this maze of misunderstandings. One of the most beneficial lessons I learned from my teacher Master Li Hongzhi was when reacting to incidents, dealing with people and circumstances, we should always check within ourselves, think why is this happening, what can I learn from this, don't jump to judgment. It's only happening to teach us some lesson, it's our own free will that will manifest our reaction, hopefully we can always remember Zhen Shan Ren, and try to realize we are a multi-dimensional form of animation that is alive, awake, and aware of itself. Life is no accident. WAKE-UP!! If you need help with waking up, read the book of ZHUAN FALUN, by Master LI HONGZHI (SHI FU). Thank you.
