> Why am I experiencing this person right here instead of another person in a different place? One of my earliest memories was experiencing that question - as I laid in my crib, too young to yet know language. It was terrifying to me and I was so disturbed by the confusion of not knowing why I was who I was, and why I was experiencing things from "my" perspective as opposed to that of another person. Thoughts and questions around that subject have "haunted" me since. Though, I've generally "accepted" that my consciousness and experiential reality is an emergent result of the complex mechanisms of my brain and sensory input, and my sense of self is essentially an "illusion" of sorts. When I die (or am severely incapacitated/maimed), that's all gone. Thus far my experiences in life have supported this stance and made that perspective of mine more solidified. Unfortunately no experiences have worked against that belief thus far.
