You come to know you are ‘Truly’ alive…
The day a loved one dies!!
The minute your told: your about to die!!
When you jump from the plane, and the shoot does not open!!!
When approaching a bend at 150mph, and the steering goes!!
When your fist true love tells you…’its over’!!
When you come to have your first child!!!
When your in debt up to your eye balls: as you have just bought that new car, and your boss says.. ‘Your Fired’!!
When we stop sitting on Yahoo Answers, & get out into the real world: and realises YES there is life beyond the computer screen!!!
Most of these will wake you up to the reality of being alive…personally I just like to KNOW I’m alive…and live each day as if it were my last…With Christ as my Saviour... as you never know…one day it will be!!!

These days, all the time. Its just constantly apparent, should one wish to check. It took me a few months to get the fact that I'm separate from the rest of the universe, and then a while to realise I'm part of one big tree of life. If I'm a bunch of feedback loops weaving order out of chaos, alive means one thing; if I'm the creation of a divine being, it means another. If I'm a figment of my own imagination then... well I'd have to give it a bit more thought.
Have a good day.

i do not know. i guess we just assume that we are alive. i feel alive. but am i really? this could all be a dream. maybe not even my own dream. DAMN MATRIX!!!!!
but i know im alive, truly alive because i am loved. more than what i thought i was. and because i can, and do love. and all those other corny stuff.
but i have a friend that feels alive by partying every weekend.
so i guess you feel alive when you are happy.
so there, im happy, and therefore, alive.

Just because you are alive...doesn't mean you feel alive...and it seems to ebb and flow in intensity. When I am joyous...I am alive. I feel it in every cell of my body, every beat of my heart, and deep in my soul. The source of my Joy varies...but it's like a drug...and you will do what it takes to feel it again...and once it is felt, you are never the same. It could be song, dance, God, Love, a new birth, a sense of wonderment, creative endeavors,etc. I do not feel joyful every minute I am alive...but I am alive every minute I feel Joy.

When you revive your eternal Spiritual identity, that is temporarily covered by a gross material body, consisting of gross elements and a subtle or astral material body consisting of mind, intelligence and ego, beneath these temporal energies is the eternal self or soul, which has individuality, personality and form.
The temporary material body is subject to birth, old age, disease and death, but the Spiritual body is constituted of eternality, knowledge and bliss, when this original consciousness is revived you experience life, real life and pleasure beyond your wildest dreams.

when you wake up in the middle of the night and try to stagger to the bathroom only to trip over the vacuum cleaner that your wife left in front of the door... then you fall headfirst against the door facing and you see a burst of stars in the dark.... then you lie on your back on the floor and watch little birdies circling over your head...
then you know you are really, truly alive.....

When someone hurts you - breaks your hart.. and for a while there, you wish you were not really and truly alive.

Rene Descartes had the only real answer to this question in his "Discourse on Method" in which he sought (ultimately unsuccessfully, I believe) to prove the existence of God.
He realized the only truly knowable fact in the universe is the he himself existed; and he knew this simply because there was a "him" thinking about the question.
Thus his answer, "I think, therefore I am."
So your life is affirmed simply by wondering about your life. Convenient, no?

When you visit a mountain range, feel the wind in your face and see beautiful sights, you feel alive and feel awesome...
