Code of Conduct
AwakenHz is a community built on curiosity, respect, and genuine exploration. These guidelines exist to keep this space safe and welcoming for everyone — whether you're a longtime explorer or just beginning to ask the big questions.
Our Core Values
- Respect — Treat every person here with dignity, even when you disagree.
- Openness — Be willing to consider perspectives different from your own.
- Honesty — Share authentically. You don't need to have all the answers.
- Kindness — Remember there's a real person behind every comment.
What's Welcome
This is a spiritual and consciousness exploration space. The following are not only allowed but encouraged:
- Sharing personal experiences with NDEs, OBEs, meditation, dreams, or altered states of consciousness
- Discussing death, the afterlife, entities, spirits, and non-physical realms
- Exploring topics like astral projection, consciousness, and alternate dimensions
- Respectful disagreements and alternative viewpoints
- Asking questions — no question is too basic or too far out there
- Discussing psychedelics in an educational or experiential context
- Sharing resources, research, books, or podcasts that have helped you
What's Not Allowed
- Hate speech or discrimination — No attacks based on race, gender, religion, sexuality, disability, nationality, or any other identity. Zero tolerance.
- Threats of violence — Any direct or implied threats against another person will result in immediate removal.
- Harassment, bullying, or personal attacks — Disagree with ideas, not people. Name-calling, mocking, or targeting individuals is not acceptable.
- Spam and self-promotion — No promotional links, scam content, phishing attempts, or unsolicited advertising.
- Dangerous medical advice — Do not tell others to stop taking medication or make medical claims that could cause harm. Share your experience, but don't prescribe.
- Aggressive or abusive language — Casual language is fine. Using profanity as a weapon against others is not.
- Trolling or bad faith engagement — If you're here to mock, disrupt, or belittle others' experiences, this isn't the space for you.
How Moderation Works
Comments are reviewed to help maintain a respectful environment. Here's how it works:
- Comments that clearly follow these guidelines are approved automatically.
- Comments that clearly violate these guidelines are rejected automatically.
- Borderline comments are flagged for manual review by an admin.
- If moderation is temporarily unavailable, comments remain pending until they can be reviewed.
We're not looking to silence anyone. The goal is simply to keep this a space where people feel safe sharing their experiences and asking honest questions.
Disagreement Is Healthy
You don't have to agree with anyone here — not the author, not other commenters, not any particular worldview. Healthy skepticism and respectful debate make conversations richer. Just remember: challenge the idea, not the person.
Reporting Issues
If you see something that violates this Code of Conduct, please reach out. We take reports seriously and will review them promptly.
Changes to This Policy
This Code of Conduct may be updated as the community grows and evolves. We'll always aim to keep the spirit the same: be kind, be curious, be real.
