    I know people that say they remember gaining consciousness at old ages such as 9 or 12. I don't remember gaining consciousness, but I have small memories being maybe 2. Remember events my dad thought no one knew lol. I remember thinking and being myself. I always had the same voice in my head as in myself. Even when I didnt know as much I was still myself. Almost makes me feel like our body is just a shell we can shed.

    I remember waking up, everywhere is dark, I couldn't hear nor touch anything, but I could see. I don't know why I'm there, and I didn't feel anything wrong, I feel normal and peaceful. I didn't think of anything, I didn't get bored, it was calm and empty.
    I don't know how long the time had passed, but I woke up again. But at that time, it was different.
    I remember opening my eyes as if for the first time. I remember little, vague and fragmented memories in the past (Some of them were like in third person). I remember how bright the world was, as if it really was the first time I awake. Like the first time I saw the world.
    But I was already a child back then, about two years of age. I remember standing up and walking around the corner, where I saw two people eating breakfast.
    I remember feeling uneasy and unfamiliar while looking. The two called me in a familiar way, and I learned that they were my parents. Its just, I was hesitating feeling very nervous, I feel as if something is wrong. Even now I feel the same.
    But at that time I didn't know what to do, I was lost and confused and just walk towards them. And that's what I remember.

    My earliest memory (at least I think it was a memory and not a dream) is being in a dark room, kinda like as if I’m lying down in a crib at night. I’m looking around and I remember seeing a sort of purple hue on the walls, maybe a night light of some kind, and just analyzing what little I can see. Anytime I think of it, it doesn’t seem like a dream. I remember my dreams vividly, but this almost feels like a flashback.

    I remember looking out from my mothers womb as I was being born. It was in a warm and damp/moist place and I could see a crucifix hanging on the wall of this very well-lit (white light) room that I KNEW was a "hospital" room. From the inside I also heard the voices and mumbling of nurses and doctor in the room, I remember feeling "activity" in the room. I was born in a Catholic hospital (St. Luke), so the crucifix on the wall probably validates what I saw. I KNEW where I was and what was happening, or about to happen. I KNEW who the voices belonged to. I was born FULLY CONSCIOUS. I am a gifted person who was born in the "wrong family". I have had every kind of experience: from time-traveling, overlapping dimensions, NDEs, OBEs, levitations, apparitions (angelical, family and unknown) clairvoyance, sentience, audience, gifted in dreams and interpretation and most recently (last 20 years) what I call "dimensional facilitator", for people asking for "permission to die". All of them spontaneous and thru no effort or "discipline". That's the way I was born. Didn't apply for it. Btw... my name is ALSO Louis, like your baby.

      This feels like a copy-pasta. I was skeptical, but I gave you the benefit of the doubt until, "Like your baby."
      That was what killed it for me. Also, I would recommend being a bit more subtle with how you describe time traveling, overlapping dimensions, etcetera. Your tone seems a little bit nonchalant for what it is.

      Ya know I was just thinking about the same thing as well. I exactly remember flashes of moments threw out my life when I was born.
      Thinking back on it, I exactly remember the moment when I realized I was alive. It was on an open field, they're we're buildings surrounding me. I was sitting in the grass but it was only me there, I was looking off towards these buildings. Ofc I didn't know to much at the time because I was just a baby, but I knew for a fact I was Aware.
      Later on in life my mom told me that we use to live on a part of town with apartments that I saw as a baby, and it fascinates me because as I baby I was aware of me being alive.

      David Thornton Thst is an awesome story about your experience. My son also remembers just the day of birth I also know two other people but in different variations. As fir me it’s been a full conscience experience since birth. It was foretold that this would be happening and it is. I was scared to talk about it in the past and I am not anymore. You should see the people’s faces when I tell them they cannot believe it they go into disbelief immediately. It’s been a lonely 46 yrs. I am thinking about expanding possibly starting a channel. I tried but I got scared. I am no more.

      David Thornton Thanks a lot for believing in me. I did contact a few Universities but nothing cause of Covid. I started to tell more people and they cannot believe it at all. I Did not tell you but my 24yr Son remembers his birth also and I validated him. He only remembers that. I know three other people who have had similar experiences also at different degrees. It was foretold that this was going to happen and it is. I did make a few videos but I took them down because it’s kind of scary (People). Understanding humanity from the beginning is a beautiful experience both the good and the bad. I have always tried to live a good life understanding this and I think I have. I also had an after life experience which was beautiful in itself. I can tell you this for sure. We all have angels protecting us at all times. God is real🙏.

    I've been a consciousness researcher since before I could write ... a pretty stressful life when you can tell that the adults around you assume you don't know what the heck is going on haha after 28 years (i sadly do not remember being bourne lol)
    I have finally understood that I wasn't insane - I was just aware of being aware and that's hard to deal with for adults who study in this field image for a child who's conscious of not even being able to express themselves yet but don't wanna worry their parents at the same time 😇

    • @minair8278
      @minair8278 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I also have a theory that the more books you read / the more you study someone else's words but literally your own, you'll have a harder time realising you were actually conscious the whole time.
      If everything affects everything, I can tell you that I despised, very early on, being told what to do. How could someone who's not in my brain tell me when and when to not feel safe, because guess who's gonna have to latch on to the other edge of the ladder when mommy's taking a pic of daddy and daddy's too happy and not paying attention? Baby. And then those same people who didn't even notice baby could have fallen on head assume they have to teach baby math and stuff like okay help me by feeding me and making me as pretty as possible and I'll take care of my own thoughts that you assume I'm not having since I can't even express myself yet. Geeze! Being a baby and toddler is definitely hard.

    • @Iris-vo5gd

      That's funny, I was thinking about the same thing today since this is how I always felt even as a child and I had no way to express what I was feeling or conveying into words what I was thinking and I've had adults around me that didn't even bother with these questions or awareness and I felt incredibly lonely and weird.

    Steven Laureys is a top scientist defending the best concept of consciousness.
    He relates consciousness in babies with the capacity of feeling pain and enjoying
    feeding, but not with high cognitive capabilities - as so many other scientists and
    philosophers unfortunately do.

    • @franklance9167
      @franklance9167 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Consciousness is a cognitive awareness of the things around you. It isn't just pure chemical responses. A fetus may possibly be able to feel pain and perceive it, but it can't think in terms of "I don't want this to be happening" because it hasn't developed a cognitive perception of these acts yet.
      I also don't see why a fetus consciously perceiving pain necessarily means abortion should be illegal at this point. We kill animals who do understand what pain is all the time, and to hold a biased standard for a fetus just because it is human in my mind is bigoted. Allow abortions throughout the 9 months and regulate the act so that people will end up not wanting to abort.

    Idk about y'all but I personally was "conscious " at around after 2 years and already 3 years old and couple months on my timesheet.
    I find it weird for a few or couple main questions I've asked to high school peers that were born in my year(1994 Feb 21).
    I personally like I've said my conceived year(94), have asked those peers in high school of same conceived year, "what year do y'all remember after being born, or when did y'all just suddenly get your consciousness?".
    Their replies always surprised me but I dont base my early consciousness or late one, to these people.
    Out of all I asked, no one of them remember the final 90s years and said they only remember the 2000s and forward.

    • @chivas1994117

    • @chivas1994117
      @chivas1994117 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Consciousness is a topic that I personally feel can not be well touched on.
      For one, many people are asked about their earliest memories but see them as a blur. (That answer has always made me aggravated, because I feel like an outcast at my 27 years of life.) I can personally remember every day that occurred once i conceived consciousness with full deatail up until this day and i swear can detail every day that God has blessed me of life, I can write a whole book of every day I experienced page by page and by day and day, I find it weird that I can remember every day since I got consciousness but others have difficulty.

    • @chivas1994117
      @chivas1994117 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Idk it was weird that I was barely conscious and just new language already, I tell my sis im thirsty, she gets so surprised and tells my older brother and dad that I just spoken my first clear words also surprised them I was walking by myself.
      It's a big trip as to that day because you come into this world not knowing anything but I believe when you are newborn its crucial you talk and have physical contact like holding the baby so that they come prepared into the world.
      I found it weird I new English nd Spanish when I woke up with consciousness, idk what I was saying but it was what I needed and they understood.
      When you have children speak to them and hold them, those are the most important years.

    • @chivas1994117
      @chivas1994117 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Also last words I want to say that hopefully explain my doubts on the study of the subject on consciousness.
      I am personally spiritual but you are able to call me Christian because I read the bible before I go to bed every night. (But I'm not catholic)
      In one of the chapters I forget which one but God said he sent 1/3 of the Angel's that teamed up with Lucifer because they wanted to overthrow the creator himself because Lucifer had convinced them to rebel.
      God said he sentenced them to live among his children on earth as a punishment to live like us "humans" (human life consists of short life, pain, suffering, death, questioning our exsistance , where are we, and constant tests against our own freewill, us humans decide our fate because he gave us freewill.)
