I was between 2-3 years old. I was lying down for a nap and suddenly thought “why am I here? How did I get in this body?”. It was such an overwhelming thought I got nauseous. It has been emblazoned on my mind for my entire life. I have always wondered about this experience as it was like sudden remembrance. It must have been my earliest memory. Later in life I had a profound spiritual awakening and it reminded me of the shock I felt as a child to awaken like this as an adult. It also felt like sudden remembering something I had forgotten.
I was 3 years pld
I've sat here reading many of these and I still haven't seen any experience like my own. It's completely unique. It seems that everyone else gained consciousness while in the body. Maybe I shouldn't even post this cause it may cause me to disappear but I must. My faith is in God almighty. I was about 4 years old when it happened. I was in soul form being carried through the air by an unseen but gentle force, and I saw my body in motion and walking home from head-start along a sidewalk with a fence right next to it. Then, the next thing I knew was that I was placed inside the body and guided home to my mother and brothers and sister. whatever the force was whether God himself or an angel, it departed from me and I felt a sense that everything was going to be alright. I still remember where this took place and it's all still there to this very day. It has been the sole reason for my belief in the God of the bible. I knew from the start that he created me and loves me. That's the truth and I've only told 3 people in my life about this. They are all astonished by this
Mine started very early
I think I was 8 years old, standing in front of our bathroom mirror and thought "ok, I am I … interesting".
Mostly Hogwash
I was 19
Yasssss omggggg it is beautiful and horrible at the same time… I would never go back though i am what i am
I remember being in a void, just pure consciousness. I knew where I was going (Earth) was a difficult place and I was afraid. I remember the darkness around me speeding up and then suddenly time passed rapidly. I recall being in my crib knowing I had the ability to walk like the adults around me because I was what they were yet I couldn't force my legs to stand up or to walk and I became frustrated and angry and began to cry. My older sister came and picked me up to soothe me. I remember a memory later when she let me sit on her leg and pretend it was a horse I was riding. Then at 4 years old I was laying in bed. I woke up both physically and mentally. It was like all the memories and experiences I had absorbed as a baby informed me of who I was and where I was. I remember seeing my mom and dad and siblings and grandmother that day and the information of what those labels mean't in relation to me clicked the moment I saw them. It was like the first real day of settling in to being me, the me in this world, in this body, right now. It was so the day that time stopped passing rapidly and settled into a set flow and rhythm.
From that day forward I was fully and completely in this world. But I suspect when I die I will return to whatever that void was in the beginning, not nothingness, still fully consciousness but in transit to the next experience, the next life, the next me. I believe that we have always existed, consciousness has always existed, but when we enter this world it is a shift in that consciousness and when we leave this world, that too is just another shift.
What is the reason for it? The purpose behind it? I'm not sure. But we exist. I am…and so are you. And we always will be.
There's no "I," as much as we project one. We're all a wild combination of causes, conditions, complete impermanence.
Incredible.
I was 5, I remember thinking, what can’t I remember…. Nothing. When I was 6 I tried to explain to my dad that one day we wake up and we are truly alive. Not just living, but remembering and alive. My small mind couldn’t find the words and his feeble mind couldn’t understand. But it was as clear as any memory. I was in the corridor, probably skipping down
I was 5 and I saw Halley's comet and shortly after watched challenger explode on tv.
Realization…
I looked up at “him/Narc” and said; “you are the trickster.”
..and I’ve not been that person ever since..💜
For Jung to have realised this at 11, just goes to show how smart the man really is
Seven years old. In our family room. A distinct voice within…loud and clear, said exactly that “I Am.” Have always interpreted this as God’s voice, telling me of His existence.
I have the complete jung works book! Then,I have fydor dostevski(?)the brothers karamosov! With those 2 books you can figure out ALLLL of lives deepest questions. Really quiet amazing
This is creepy, I think I was about 14, I was in a tunnel just outside of the school and secretly smoking a cigarette and just as the nicotine rush hit me I was "Where am I? Who am I?" I've been living this life on auto-pilot and suddenty I was thrust into the awaress of being well, I didnt know at the time, anyone else had this?
I was 16
Some people never come out of that mist
And I was 15 years old when I realized that I had neglected myself because of manipulation.

Thank you for this video of the master of the psyche. It wonderful to see him and hear him. So gentle and humble.
I had this realization at 32.. I am. Not good. Nor bad. I simply, am.
I remember when I woke up I was at my parents house sitting down at the dinner table coloring while my mom was washing dishes listening to the radio.
If anybody doesn’t mind, what is the song/music playing in the background? There’s just something about it. Much appreciated. 😊❤
I was very young, maybe around 5 and I asked my mom "where do you met me, how do you met me?"
To lose a body part doesn't make you any less you. You are not your body. You are a spiritual being living in a material body.
