    ECM = Experiencia cercana a la muerte. Basically NDE (Near Death Experience)

    • “Vi el futuro de la humanidad” = “I saw the future of humanity”
    • “Estamos más vivos que nunca, al otro lado” = “we are more alive than ever, on the other side”
    • “Estaremos con los nuestros en otra vida” = “we will be with ours in another life”
    • “Hay esperanza nunca morimos” = “there is hope, we never die”

    Just based on the captions / titles, this seems to be a channel about Near Death Experience.

    From my experience with other channels about NDE (I don’t know about this one), It’s less about encouraging suicide, but more of providing some spiritual comfort, that when you die it’s not complete void, and about how some people becoming better person after experiencing NDE, e.g. ego death.

    NDE is of course, from recent article that I read, mostly about neurons firing trying to recall moments (thus life flash before your eyes). But if it provides comfort for those who are anxious about death, it’s so far harmless. It’s not as bad as antivax / alternative healing (yet).

    Eventually you and I will be curious of what would happen after our death, and people talking about seeing their lost loved ones during NDE, being engulf by warm light, are source of comfort.

    I don’t believe in those. For me, there’s no second chance, no reincarnation, no afterlife, no spiritual stuff, just complete void, no consciousness, and no need to deal with another shitty human in life ever again, which makes me excited about it.

      Yup. I grieve, I grieve so often for the people in my life I’ve lost - both parents, my brother, and my mentor - in the last 10 years. But promising people bullshit based on sketchy suicidal shit is fucking vile - they’re preying on people who are at their lowest and shoveling dangerous, near suicidal ideology and pseudoscience. It’s gross.

        ah, then it’s the same as all religious organizations then. I could understand your anger. I had a brother who jumped off from 8 floors when I was younger, partly thanks to superstitious family.

        Let’s stop at that. I don’t want to get into what I wish would happen to every single one of those fucks.

    For people asking what it means, my Spanish is not great, but I think the first sentence is something like “These are stories relating to ECM(? don’t know what that is) of experiences surrounding death (I would assume near-death experiences?)”

    Not directly concerning on the surface if they’re just talking about near-death experiences, but I have no idea what the content of the videos is.

    EDIT: Found the English version of the channel. Definitely some woo-woo shit, but I wouldn’t go so far as to call it a suicide cult.

      I would say the channel has at least cult vibes. “Truth about Wormholes”, “meets the Creator”, “visits different Realms” and other similar titles.

      I did not watch the videos so it would be premature to call it a cult. But their rhetoric would fit a cult. I’d agree though, that the titles are not really abt suicide. So maybe more general cult, than suicide cult?
