Hi Joe Helen Keller comes to mind. In her autobiography, she writes about the epiphany she experienced when her teacher ran water on one of her hands while signing "water" on the other hand. It was as if the whole world opened up to her that very instant. And yes, she was very able to define her experience, afterwards. Before that moment though, no. Still, we are all like Helen Keller in a way. We are born not knowing what it is we are seeing and hearing. Only later do we make a momentous discovery like Ms. Keller. But it is very rare for anyone to recall that moment.
