That is an interesting question. My age appears to be ageless frequently. But if I had to guess, in my 30's maximally mature, usually younger, but never older. I've talked to my Dad about this and he says that he feels that inside his mind, the consciousness is ageless and that his body image is much like when he was a young man. This came up in one of our discussions maybe 5 or 6 years ago. As for me, age is hardly ever in my mind. I don't think about my age when I'm awake, nor do I when I'm asleep. I am almost always first person, more rarely seeing myself from an external POV like I'm followed by a Steady-cam. I discussed my life-changing hunting event with my Dad who was with me when it happened. I was the one who pulled the trigger and although he urged me to do so, it was MY decision. I told him that the deer died for a reason that was important in another context a year or two later. I really believe that. He also remembered it, thought it would be life altering, but different things bothered him about the incident than me. requiring the monster to give a gift that you can use to better your life This kind of thing goes on in my waking life. I really think I have a mission here based upon actions I did when I was young. These may have been part of eternal journey, but that I can't refute or support. I don't have any "past life memories" that I know of, so whether this is part of some spiritual progress or not, I'm not sure. However, I'm sure as I am of most of my engineering work that there is a reason for it. I know that now and am working to redeem myself in this life. On another note, circling back to my Tire God. It turns out that I was telling my brother and mother about my Tire God theory that I half-believe. Mom is 72 years old and has only had 3 flats in her entire life. 2 involved me (1 indirectly). My brother has had 2 flats and when he borrowed my car to take his wife and her kid on a vacation in Arizona, had a tire delaminate at 70 mph (I don't buy retreads). I forgot about that one.
