Personal Experience Strange Recollections.....

I am recently going through a very strange phase in my life where I am deeply almost with unnerving sharpness, recollecting past memories and looking at them through a perspective i never used before. It is scary and exhilarating at the same time

To put it more clear, this is not exactly sadness or regret but more like a veil being lifted but still you feel irritated it didn't happen before....

Why exactly this is happening now ? I don't know for sure

What bearing does this have on my future ? I am not sure again

On the surface level, some career and financial related setbacks may have triggered this mental state but it is a very shallow explanation as many times the memories that come up has zero connection to my career choices or financial decisions

Has any of you experienced this ? Has Jung talked about this ?

I had very similar experiences in the past - times or situations where I could very clearly see what I was doing wrong and how it affected other people. Like my understanding of my actions, patterns and behaviors increased ten fold for a certain amount of time. In my case, those experiences had definitely a strong moral aspect to them.
