One scary thing is to realize there must be people out there who never walked out of the mist...

[LVXMagick]

When I was 7 years old I remember looking around at the stupid things adults were doing and thinking, if every person had to say everything they were doing outloud, would they still make the same choices. It confused me because I knew people were not completely unaware of what they were doing, yet it was like they were unaware at the same time. It took until I was 17 to find Jung's work. It finally helped me to make more sense of these strange ideas in my head I intuitively knew to be true, but just couldn't find words for. I still think we need better words to differentiate normal consciousness and awareness from a deeper mindful understanding. So grateful for all this man's work.

Carl Jung eternally romp in Paradise. What a great teacher you have been to me 🙏🤗

[tTantPisForFrance]

I remember being in bed, waking up and seeing the curtains moving in the gentle breeze of a open window and I remember the very eerie feeling of being an individual. I must have been 5 or 6. I'm 29 and still see those curtains waving.

his memory is so clear and so fast. It is amazing. He just went back to his childhood memories in a split of a second. It is remarkable

[tolgauzmanoglu]

I had the same experience when I was 4 years old. Even though I'm 51 now, the memory has never faded. I vividly remember standing in the middle of the street, looking up at the cloudy sky, and thinking the same thoughts as Jung had

[laurelsoderholm]

I love his face and eyes. When talking he looks thru you. It’s more personal and really tranquil and beautiful. A man of very deep thoughts for sure. When reading the Boulanger series, I am beside myself in the thought provoking spaces he brings you to.

[tomkatpc]

imagine C.G. Jung stepping out of the mist singing: "I am what I am
I am my own special creation
So come take a look
Give me the hook or the ovation" ..
It's my world that I want to have a little pride in
My world, and it's not a place I have to hide in
Life's not worth a damn till you can say
"I am what I am"

I was 6 yo walking down a sidewalk with my mom when such questions came to mind.

[TrillVilla]

I remember being in my backyard as a toddler no more than 3 maybe 4 when I just started acknowledging the thoughts in my head and wondering if others were able to hear them too, not mine but their own. Growing up in the desert it was even better when I was just able to star gaze and not do much but connect with these thoughts and the beauty of nature around.

[RicinSoup]

Is it weird that i have had several moments like this? As a child as a teen and a few as an adult.

[carolina_is_free]

My God, how grateful I am for the internet & all the development of technical things. We are able to hear this beautiful man talk about his experiences and thoughts. It's just amazing.
R.I.P. Carl, you are still such a great light in this world! 🤍✨🕊️

I rather think I was always self-aware. The idea of being so wrapped up in my environment that I was merely a consciousness within it, or not formally distinguished from it is strange to me. In fact, I think I always felt myself contending within my environment on behalf of the self, very clearly. I always knew that "I" had to be something... good, strong, smart, likeable, etc. The idea of a 'eureka' moment that I exist as an individual is utterly foreign to me, especially so late in life as 11!

[anthasya]

People wonder how I have such early memory of myself, but Ive been self aware since I can remember about myself and I was frustrated that I was not treated as an equal to everyone, but rather just a child and nothing else. My opinion didnt matter, and my reasonings were never heard. I remeber the thinking process i had, and thats the only thing I remember sometimes, tge feeling i experienced when certain thoughts crossed my mind. And i was 3-4 years old back then. Maybe 3.. but i became conscious at around 3 years old. That i am a person and a self and that continued. And some people are like.. i dont remember anything from my childhood..?? How?? I remembered alot of details and things, smells, moments, peoples looks, peoples characters

[GwenWoolfolk]

I am one thing connected to all things

[demonicsweaters]

Jeez, I think I was like 3 or something. I remember being under the table eating a piece of cheese. No I'm not a mouse, but that's where I just suddenly realized my inner awareness. It was also the first time I tried cheddar cheese and thinking it was the most amazing tasting thing I ever had, I think that's what woke me up!

[dimitridiakovasiliou]

I have a similar experience of self-awareness being distinct from my mind. My mind was always present, constantly observing, judging, and separating me from everything around me; my mind and ego felt like one. Then one day, I became aware of myself in a new way. I saw what I was doing and feeling, but this time, I was observing myself from a distance, detached and without any connection to who I was in that moment. It was so eerie it felt like someone else was watching. It is not that I have memories of myself or awareness of myself it is that I have an awareness of my awareness from a none self centred perspective.

[UstaJin]

It was decided who I am before I even had a grasp of who I am...

[mariamurerean]

I think it was when I was 12. I was at school, during class. Until that moment my thinking worked with images and memories, then I started thinking with words, which felt like having an inner active voice. It was new and weird for me. This happened because I realised I wasn't the same person I used to be in elementary school, because I'd learned new things.
