At the age of 14, while camping with her family near Tillamook, Demi experienced a near-death encounter while playing in the ocean. Pulled into a sinkhole by a strong current, she found herself engulfed by an overwhelming sense of peace and love as her soul seemingly left her body. She described being surrounded by vibrant colors and music in a tunnel-like space, moving toward a bright light where she felt a profound connection to all things and received messages about the importance of love and the interconnectedness of all beings. Despite the allure of staying in this blissful state, she was gently urged to return to her body by an unseen force, eventually being pulled to the surface by a companion. Over the years, she grappled with the messages received during her near-death experience, particularly the concept of being the same as every blade of grass. It wasn't until encountering string theory on TV years later that she found an explanation, understanding that all matter, including humans and plants, is composed of energy. This realization affirmed the profound insights gained during her experience. Her subsequent readings, such as Anita Moorjani's "Dying to be Me," further validated her experience, reinforcing the belief in a higher power and the importance of love. Despite the challenges of daily life, her goal is to remember and share her transcendent encounter with those open to hearing it.
