Template:Proofread Existential self-realization can be described as a sudden realization, revelation or reaffirmation of one's existence within this universe. This feels like a sudden and profound "waking up" or "realization" that results in an intense sense of motivation, a sudden comprehension of one's situation, an appreciation for life and a sense of urgency to make the most out of it while it lasts. During this state, no new knowledge is learnt but the previously known information regarding one's existence is reintegrated in a sudden and profound manner that results in a deep sense of appreciation for the unlikely circumstance of one's existence.

This component most commonly occurs at moderate dosages of dissociatives. It also occurs during particularly positive psychedelic trips and after near death experiences.
