Nothing really exists. It's pretty shocking stuff that our brains can't handle easily. I keep pulling out of this sort of thought as a reflex.

I remember having a few but can't recollect what the hell they were...

Gahh! That's going to irritate me, I should have a notepad by my bed to write down stupid shit I think and will never remember.

I realized that god was an illusion based on ignorance and emotion. Hardly earth-shattering, I know. Everyone already knows that.

I realized that debating is useless.

Edit: The Escapist made me realize this.

It was actually while I was first playing Assassin's Creed and Altair and his master were discussing the meaning behind "nothing is true and everything is permitted." My ephinany was when I applied this philosophy to my faith and that was when I lost it. Funny, a game made me become an atheist.

My first was probably when I was in hospital after coming within an inch of death at only 14 years old. My epiphany was realising the delicate state of life and how it should be cherished. Also seeing how my near death experience had affected others really put my own life in perspective.

I seem to get them every couple of weeks, and then forget them.

Lifts me out of depression for like a week, and then I forget why I was so excited. Eh.

For me the epiphany came about 2 years ago when watching a falcon kill a cat. What i realized whas thats everything is going to die, that there is no god who cares and finally that all politicians are corrupt.
all that from a cat!

I've had moments that felt like epiphanies, though they were brought on by sleep deprivation and, after sleeping, I realise that whatever ideas were divined from them are completely ridiculous.

I get epiphanies occasionally. Usually they are just realizations of the the futility of existence or something similar. However my latest one happened about 30 hours ago and it involved my work, specifically my boss. It wasn't an epiphany per se, more of a realization of sorts.
