A curious mind.
Looking for the truth.
It is no small victory to find inner peace and I truly believe this is the first battle a man must fight before going to spiritual war.

Genocidal Globalist would love us to believe that we are all stupid and bad. It falls nicely into their eugenics program. We can see the world through their filter...or through the one we were born with. People are sentient strange beings capable of building empires, taking us to the moon and also capable of crying because a dog dies in a movie. You're beautiful.

United to Support Falun Gong Practitioners' Freedom of Belief
General Information
Falun Gong is an ancient Chinese spiritual discipline in the Buddhist tradition. Pronounced "Fah-loon Gong," it consists of moral teachings, a meditation, and four gentle exercises that are a truly unique and highly effective way to improve your health and energy levels.
At the core of Falun Gong are the values of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance (or in Chinese, Zhen ē Shan å Ren åæ). Falun Dafa teaches that these are the most fundamental qualities of the universe, and takes them to be a guide for daily life and practice.
In the words of Falun Gongās founder, Mr. Li Hongzhi, āassimilation to the highest qualities of the universeāZhen ē Shan å Ren åæ āis the foundation of practice. Practice is guided by these supreme qualities, and based on the very laws which underlie the development of the cosmos.ā
Falun Gong is also commonly known as āFalun Dafa.ā
By 1999, Falun Gong had grown to become the largest and fastest growing practice of the sort in Chinese if not world history. In just seven years since its 1992 introduction to the public, an estimated 100 million people were practicing Falun Gong.
Cultivating Oneself with Falun Gong
In Asia, spiritual practices of this variety are often referred to as ways of ācultivation,ā or āself-cultivation,ā and form an integral part of classical Chinese culture. Various Daoist, Buddhist, and Confucian practices fit this rubric.
Through consistent and dedicated practice, the student of Falun Gong comes to achieve a state of selflessness, greater insight and awareness, inner purity, and balanceāthe deeper workings of what might be called true health. Ultimately he or she approaches a state of spiritual attainment that in the Asian tradition is known as āenlightenmentā or āattaining the Dao (Way).ā
Unlike monastic paths of cultivation, Falun Gong is practiced in society, with students marrying, raising children, and pursuing a wide variety of careers. As such, while Falun Gong aspires to inner transformation of the self, it nevertheless typically translates outwardly into positive change in the world, insofar as the practitioner becomes a more patient family member, a more conscientious employee, or a more active member of society.
Awards in China and Beyond
Falun Gong has thus been the subject of many citations, awards, and proclamations, conferred by government officials and a variety of organizations. Many who practice Falun Gong have been the recipients of service awards in their communities and at their workplaces.
The practiceās founder, Mr. Li Hongzhi, is a five-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee and was nominated by the European Parliament for the Sakharov Prize For Freedom of Thought. He is the recipient of Freedom Houseās International Religious Freedom Award.
Eschewing the spotlight, Mr. Li guides the practice through his writings and occasional speeches, typically at Falun Gong conferences.
Mr. Li has always insisted that the practice be taught for free and available to all, and as such, all Falun Gong books, video recordings, and the like are available for free viewing online.
Few people today are aware that Falun Gong and its followers received much in the way of official recognition in China during the 1990s, prior to a dramatic and violent change in political winds in 1999 which saw the practice persecuted.
In 1993, Mr. Li was named the āMost Welcomed Qigong Masterā in Beijing and bestowed by an official body with the Award for Advancing Frontier Science.
The same year, The Peopleās Public Security Newsāthe official newspaper of Chinaās Ministry of Public Securityāpraised Mr. Li for his contributions āin promoting the traditional crime-fighting virtues of the Chinese people, in safeguarding social order and security, and in promoting rectitude in society.ā
By 1999, Chinese officials went so far as to quantify Falun Gongās benefits, such as when one official from Chinaās National Sports Commission, speaking with U.S. News & World Report, declared that Falun Dafa ācan save each person 1,000 yuan in annual medical fees. If 100 million people are practicing it, thatās 100 billion yuan saved per year in medical fees.ā
The same official went on to note that, āPremier Zhu Rongji is very happy about thatā.
Today Falun Gong is practiced in more than 70 countries around the world, with clubs and associations existing in a range of cities, companies, universities, and other settings.
