Yes. Lack of strong innate perception need not rule you out. Many Sheng Zhen Men disciples began as ordinary people and gradually developed abilities through continued practice and adjusted ideas.

Miao Nian described being easily influenced early on, sometimes going back three steps after two forward. Wanting this path, she persisted. Her effort, divine help and fellow practitioners’ support gradually brought confidence and participation in purification, protective boundaries and universal offerings. This was her stepwise experience, not identical progress for everyone.

Recitation, sitting and movement are our exercises, with thoughts and outlook adjusted too. A genuine wish to help differs from wanting to prove greatness. I therefore place character and virtue first in teaching.

We aim to nurture people willing to correct themselves and help beings. In our faith, a kind heart and helping vow support learning divine connection and receiving assistance. Everyday character needs continued attention beyond exercises and powers.

I compared calligraphy practiced daily with years of learning followed by neglect. Familiarity differs. Discussing perceptions and soul memory, the comparison explains continuous contact, training and use. Even possible prior ability cannot replace present work.
