Hello peeps! 👋 I’m really curious about how all of you eat, so I decided to start a little poll. I’d love it if you could take a few seconds to vote and let me know what kind of eater you are. If you follow a specific or unusual way of eating, feel free to drop a comment. The same goes if you’ve had interesting experiences with food, like health issues that improved or even disappeared thanks to a certain diet. I’d be really happy to read about it! And please: no food shaming 🙃 ✨🫶✨

I’ve been engaging with the topic of near-death experiences (NDEs) for several years now, and the more I read and listen, the more striking it becomes how consistent these reports are across cultures, ages, and backgrounds. There are thousands of firsthand reports available online. On nderf.org (the Near-Death Experience Research Foundation) alone, there are over 5,700 documented reports. Thousands more can be found in books, interviews, and YouTube channels where people openly share what they experienced. What stands out to me is not just the sheer number of reports, but how remarkably similar the experiences and sequences often are. Because of this frequency and consistency, I personally find it hard to dismiss these experiences as mere coincidence, fantasy, or hallucination. Many people also report that they were afraid to talk about their NDE for decades, only realizing later in life that they were not alone and that others had experienced almost the exact same things. From a scientific standpoint, near-death experiences are still not truly explainable. The existing explanations—such as lack of oxygen, brain chemistry, or hallucinations—do not convincingly account for the clarity, structure, and depth of these experiences, nor for the verifiable observations some people report while clinically unconscious or in cardiac arrest. Because of this, I think it’s worth looking not only at whether NDEs happen, but also at what people experience during them—and what these experiences might tell us about life itself. A commonly reported sequence goes something like this: Many people suddenly find themselves outside of their body, often floating above it. Interestingly, they frequently say they no longer identify with their physical body at all. They see it as a dead body below them—and they feel completely fine with that. There is no panic. Instead, they describe feeling more alive, more aware, and more real than ever before.

I am Starlight. I haven’t figured out how to speak without using “I” statements yet, but background/introductions are important. This might be choppy and awkward. I will try to keep it short :p I have been searching (a very long time it feels) for others that understand what is happening. My ego legitimately started to make me feel insane. Everyone in my family labeled me with various mental illnesses, as well. So, I have gotten NO true spiritual guidance. Then (growing up Catholic) you have everyone around you telling you God is outside of you, in the sky, and only reachable through a priest :’) It never resonated with me and repulsed me from the idea of God. Although, I remember vividly what is before this existence. I have memories of before I was born. So, it was chaos for many years. Misdirection from unconscious human beings. What is occurring with me, and from what I believe Rey is describing online, is not taken well by some people. However, I carried on with a secret knowing. Finding Rey’s channel on YT has solidified to my awareness that I am not crazy. I just haven’t found the right beings to be around. Thank you all for being here and I look forward to being a part of this group. Sending you all much love and peace <3
