We need more moderators. However; it's important to understand that this sub is heavily moderated, and we have pretty specific rules. There are certain types that come here because they know that NDEs have a kind of unique legitimacy that they can attempt to capitalize on for their own agendas.

The learning curve is a bit steep to learn how to moderate on Reddit to begin with, and more so when there are such specific rules.

When I began moderating, the sub basically consisted of atheists and christians arguing with each other or others in pretty much every post and comment thread. It was a battleground. The reason it's so heavily moderated is to prevent that, for the most part. The other consistent issue that had overrun the sub, though, was suicidal ideation or fear of death (often related, believe it or not).

That being said, however, a great many people with serious mental illness end up coming here as well. We must often ban people with OCD because their compulsions end up spilling onto the entire sub. This is a difficult and deeply painful thing to do if you have compassion and empathy, so moderating here is often not easy.

With these encouraging disclaimers in mind, please let me know if you're willing and interested in putting in the labor and risk the mental health challenges of moderating here, lol. Cheerful this morning, aren't I? :P

We have one pending new moderator already, u/Eastern-Peach-3428 and I would like to start a new 'team' or group of moderators to learn together. Onboarding just one at a time adds to the difficulties, and it's good to have each other to turn to and discuss moderation questions together.

Thank you for reading, and please modmail us if you are interested. Ideal candidates will be willing to enforce the rules, so familiarizing yourself with all of them before volunteering would be an excellent idea.

It's interesting that the Bible says this: But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, is to be put to death (Deuteronomy 18:20)

But they never murder their pastors when the rapture doesn't happen when predicted.

SDA (Seventh Day Adventists) are aggressively anti LGBTQ. They would, if they could, bring back the death penalty for them.

Yet they, including their founder, Ellen G. White, constantly predicted the second coming. Ellen made more than seven clear prophecies of the second coming. Spoiler alert, none of them happened.

Many preachers right now, all over the internet, have multiple failed dates of the second coming under their belts.

How many of these "prophets" prophesied Trump would win in 2020? Why are they still teaching and preaching? Why are Christians still baking cakes for them? Why no pickets and death threats for these false prophets? Why don't any of them spend every other Sunday condemning this "prophetic lifestyle" choice!?

I mean, it's a rhetorical question, I just wanted to say it out loud.

Here are the steps of Neville manifestation summarized:

1. Live in the state you would be in if your desire were fulfilled.
2. Persist to live in the state you would be in if your desire were fulfilled.

#Route 1

Let's say you wish to own a Ferrari. You wish to own a Ferrari because of how you think you would feel if you did. You do know already how it would feel, or you wouldn't want it.

Now, you can live in that feeling, that's one way to reach the state. You can think that if you owned a Ferrari, you would feel sexy, alive, and free. So you can live in that state as one route to the Ferrari.

#Route 2

Here's another route to the end state, though. If you owned a Ferrari, you would be sitting in it sometimes and driving. So let's say you currently drive a beat-up station wagon. In your mind, when you drive, you superimpose the image of a Ferrari over the station wagon. You feel the heated seat. You feel the fine leather of the steering wheel. No matter your emotional state when doing this, you are in the state of owning a Ferrari.

Just because you own a Ferrari doesn't mean you'll never be annoyed. It doesn't mean you'll never lose another loved one and grieve.

You can be living your 'current' life while building the experience of your desire around yourself. You simply fit your feelings into your desire.

When I was manifesting my car, I simply imagined I was in the car I wanted instead of the car I had.

#Route 3

Another way to live in the end is to reframe your feelings or experiences in the current "3D". Crying because you got a parking ticket? Tell yourself that you're actually crying out of joy because you just got a nice big check deposited in your bank.

When I was manifesting said car, my other broke down. I was sobbing brokenly because my car was breaking down and I could lose everything, even custody of my kid without a way (in that area, no buses) to get him to school. It was more than a crappy situation, it was potentially horribly life-altering.

So? So I told myself these were tears of joy because of my new car.

Neville told the story of the woman on the trolly, and she was weeping. She reframed and told herself the rainwater and tears on her face was spray from the cruise ship. She went on her cruise and stood in the spray of the cruise ship.

#Route 4

You can live in the initial experience of learning of the "good news" that your desire is now yours. This is Neville's Annunciation method. The angel of the annunciation is when the angel Gabriel tells Mary she is pregnant with Jesus.

You imagine someone announcing to you that your wish is fulfilled. One example is holding the lottery check. Another is accepting the keys to your house or car. Another is shaking the hand of your new employer.

#The real point of all of this?

To live as yourself, but with The Thing.

You don't need to become a completely different person. You can make faster progress if you can fully convince yourself that you are already the changed person, but most of us don't change completely.

Even if you had that Ferrari, you'd probably still worry. You might be irritable. You might be tired. But you would be surrounded by the Ferrari. What would that be like? What would it look like? Sound like? Smell like? Would you notice the Ferrari steering wheel logo while you cried? But you'd still be crying if you had just gone through what you went through today that made you cry, you'd just be doing it in a Ferrari.

You might still be crying, but you'd have the arms of someone who loved you around you.

#The change doesn't need to be huge.

You might be only a slightly changed version of you. Maybe even with your new job or new partner, you'd still worry about politics or have forgotten to pay that bill.

Change NOW through imagination. Imagine the car around you. Imagine the arms around you. Yes, even while you carry on yelling at your mother over the phone for calling you a twit. Or whatever.

Nothing is big. Everything is simply divine energy.

Chances are that you won't be all that different tomorrow. You can still have the Thing if you simply do the mental discipline to Live in the End.
