My awareness has always existed. There has never been a time nor will there ever be a time when my awareness does not exist.
How does this theory hold up against people who are quite literally brain dead, as in, no neurological functions what so ever, no sensory interaction, and thus no actual self-awareness?
I've always asked the question of "before," when your dad was a kid and your mom was a kid too. Neither having any idea that they would meet and have a child. For your theory to hold up, it would mean that half of your awareness was in your mom and the other half in your dad (I went with 50-50 to make it easy).
Further more, that would mean that your awareness was somewhere in your grandparents too, and their parents and grandparents, and so on.
But how? Where even? In the DNA? I don't get how it could be so.
Unless your going with the philosophy that we are all one consciousness experiencing life subjectively and there is no difference between your consciousness and mine, they are both the same, we simply have different subjective interaction with our environment. If that's where you're going with this, then allow me a few minutes to take some Psilocybin mushrooms and I'll be with you shortly.
