Yeah, welcome back.

I’m very much interesting in finding other people who think the same way, so if you’re worldview is anywhere close to that, I’d really like to hear from you. I’m happy to make contact with any non-materialists out there. Glad to be back.
Let me get this straight - you're not just recommending that we not subject a materialist interpretation to our subjective experience, you're actually suggesting that subjective experience has no need of a physical, supporting substrate? If that is what you really think, would you care to elaborate on why? (Preferably on a new thread so I can express my approval or disapproval more fully.)
