Here's another nice quote from Li from the Essentials:

Most fundamentally, you all still need to establish your great mighty virtue in the process of shattering the old forces’ persecution, and return to your highest positions. So this isn’t a matter of reaching Consummation in ordinary realms, nor is it achievable in ordinary Consummation. It might seem that you have done what you should do for Dafa, when actually, you are doing it for your comprehensive Consummation and return. If during this period you cannot do well with what you should do, this Consummation stage can only be a cultivation process, and it cannot fundamentally be a Fa-rectification disciple’s true and final Consummation. If during the evil’s persecution a Dafa disciple doesn’t do well or slacks off, it’s very possible all his previous efforts will have been for nothing.

In other words, if you can't live up to the challenge of "shattering the old forces's persecution" you can't consider yourself a Fa-rectiication disciple.  And what distinguishes a "Fa-rectificatrion disiciple"  from an common ordinary disciple?  Well, it's what you do to protect the Master's Fa against the evil forces, isn't it?   Elsewhere the Master actually says this is you duty as a practitioner.  If there any practitioner/editor on this site who has the decency and honesty to acknowledge that these teachings are real and important for your salvation?  Olaf,can you at least intervene and spare us from another endless series of endless discussions on this topic?
