I've had a few...
But when realizing you're alone, completely alone in this world. I don't think some people can handle that. I'd say the loneliest moment of my life was spent in a room full of the happiest people I'd ever seen. And I realized I was a stranger to my own family.

I continue to have them...
However my earliest memory that something was wrong on this planet was about 10 or 11...
I was walking along with my mother and trying to figure out what was wrong with the people... "they all have brains so why are they still so confused about life".... that altered my mind and continues to alter my mind. Every day I become better and so every day is a monumental moment!
thanks for your question.

I have had a few. Giving birth to my children is right up there, but I'm a practical person, so the entire process was fairly straighforward for me.
I would have to say one of the most spiritually altering experiences I've had was the first time I heard the audible voice of God.
I was 8 1/2 months pregnant with my 2nd child, and was out playing with my son, then 2 1/2. A storm was coming up so I asked him to tidy up and we would go in for lunch. He decided to climb in my lap because he heard a thunder. Then he asked me when the baby would come. I said in a couple of weeks, and then I asked him if he wanted to pray, and he said sure. So we prayed for the health of the baby, the safety of dad on the road, the skill of the doctors and that everything would go well - As soon as my son said AMEN, I heard a voice over my shoulder - right beside my ear - say "her name is Miriam". I started and looked, but of course no one was there, and I put my son down to the sound of a big clap of thunder. Then I had my 1st contraction. Go figure.
My daughter was born later that afternoon, and her name is Miriam.

Watching my dad and my husband both die from cancer. Watching their fight with this disease. Also dealing with retarded family members who were never around to help but always had something to say and when they did show up that did not help but acted like a bunch of idiots. Then you had people who were wonderful and loving, total strangers who were willing to help you out and give of themselves to help you during this. Then the aftermath of seeing how people will take advantage of you and try to get what they can out of you when you are at your lowest point in life. How people who said they would be there for you don't really want to be bothered with you. You learn a lot about life and yourself, some good and some not so great.

I was anointed with the Holy Spirit in the experience "Joy unspeakable and full of glory". Since then I haven't doubted God's existence and exceeding goodness (despite living in a frankly at some times horrible world), as it was so exceedingly wonderful. This was some time after my conversion to trust in Jesus Christ for my salvation.

When I realized that there is no god.
It showed me that there is more to live for than something that doesnt exist.
It has shown me to do what I can to make sure that Im happy in this life and Im the most important person beside the people I care about.

Being in the presence of and (for a moment) one with the Pure White Light of God (the One).
Why ? . . . Because that experience brought a visual to me confirming to me what I already sensed and knew. Since we are not simply souls...that we are are also humans and as humans we are encouraged more by touch and visuals...that experience awakened my soul even more...and does a " why " need to be explained any more than that ? Brings a smile to me just thinking of it.

The first time I jumped out of an airplane that was flying at 4000 feet and 130 knots.

When my dad died. I was 9 and it made me realize that a person can be gone in a moment. (He was in a car accident) It will be 30 years on the 10th and he still has influenced decisions that I make today, to be strong and work hard.

the first time my heart was really broken. Which, ironically, was after some 5 girlfriends and many flings. Wow. I had never realised what a callous bastard I'd been before that. Soul-crushing. And it did change my life in many ways.
