(Minghui.org) I went to bed as usual last September 25th. Before going to sleep, I had a clear thought, that I must get up at midnight and send forth righteous thoughts.
In order to get up on time for sending righteous thoughts, I didn’t go to the bathroom before going to bed. I woke up at 11:30, but had trouble getting up. I finally stood up with great effort, but I lost control of my bladder. I also found that I couldn’t stand steadily. I changed my wet pants and thought about practicing the exercises.
As soon as I practiced the first set of Dafa exercises, I lost control of my my hands and feet. I had no choice but to sit on the bed and send forth righteous thoughts. My right hand and right leg also shook uncontrollably. I then recited Master’s Fa:
““I’m Li Hongzhi’s disciple, I don’t want other arrangements or acknowledge them”—then they won’t dare to do that. So it can all be resolved. When you can really do that, not just saying it but putting it into action, Master will definitely stand up for you.” (“Teachings Given on Lantern Festival Day, 2003”)
I kept asking Master to save me: “Master, save me, Master, save me!” Then I looked inward and found that I had been browsing on my phone too much in the past few days. I even used it for 40 minutes before going to bed. This was wrong and so scary. I continued to call out, “Master, save me, Master, save me! I will never look at my phone again.”
My husband woke up from my tossing and turning and asked, “What are you doing?” I didn’t say anything and just continued silently calling out to Master to save me, “I will never look at my phone again.” My husband didn’t understand, so he said I must be completely insane, turned over, and went back to sleep.
He eventually felt something was wrong and asked me what was going on. I told him that my hand was not working properly. But I felt that telling him this was not right. So I corrected myself and told him that everything was fine.
I then started murmuring, “Master, please save me. Master, please save me. Nothing is wrong with me and everything is working fine!”
I kept saying this until my throat was dry, then I asked my husband to bring me some water, and alas, my hand started working fine. I could put the cup of water on the bedside table. It was exactly midnight, so I began to send righteous thoughts.
At 12:10, I felt a little nauseous, and my hands felt out of control again. So I started calling out, “Master, save me, Master, save me, I will never look at my phone again.” At about 12:30, my hands felt better. I took another sip of water and was able to get up and stand steadily. I burned incense to Master’s picture and bowed three times, thanking him for saving my life.
My husband had been watching me the whole time for fear that I might fall. When he saw that nothing was wrong, he returned to the bedroom. I practiced the first and third sets of the exercises again and was indeed fine. It was exactly one o’clock in the morning when I went back to bed.
It took only one hour from the appearance of the illness to its disappearance. During the whole process, with Master’s strengthening, my thoughts were very righteous and focused on the Fa. Dafa is so miraculous!
In looking back, my falling down two years ago, suddenly losing my memory in May, and my irregular heartbeat in August were all triggered by looking at my phone too much. This had been an ongoing problem for me.
Another example of this same attachment occurred in August, when my husband was away for a class reunion. I was at home reading but feeling unwell. After lunch, I drank two cups of coffee, but it didn’t help much. I then thought that if I had my phone, I could browse on it for a while. It happened that my husband came back, and I asked him to let me look at my phone. I was like a drug addict seeking a fix!
After looking at the phone for a while, I put it down and started reading Zhuan Falun. I planned to clarify the truth in the morning and study the Fa in the afternoon, but I couldn’t get up at midnight to send forth righteous thoughts. Not only did I fail to validate the Fa, but I couldn’t behave in accordance with the Fa’s principles. It was terrible!
If it wasn’t for Master’s compassionate salvation, the consequences for this attachment would have been unimaginable. Master has saved me time and time again.
In order to not let Master down, I will do the three things well, walk out of my human attachments, and walk steadily on my path to the divine. I wrote this article to warn myself and remind other practitioners that we should not play with our phones. They’re like a drug and what the old forces want us to do to.
