For years after I left Christianity I had recurrent nightmares of being left in the rapture. I recognized that my mind was just replaying the scenes the church programed me to feel. So I told my mind to stop doing that to me because I would not be frightened into believing stuff I knew was not true. You can speak to your mind and bring your feelings in line with your will.
I enjoyed talking with you, too. No need to apologize.
It was an important step that I should have taken ten years ago or more. I already feel different just after one day. I feel better and I don't think I'm going to have nightmares about it so perhaps I was further along than I thought. What is this "rapture" you're talking about? That's the second time I've heard that word this week but never before.
