This is all something I can relate to. I have thought this way long before I understood what thinking was. There is something I would like to point out and disagree with, however. You mentioned that you weren't here to experience the world before you were born...that isn't true. You were here, just in a different form. Think about it, what made the person you are? One sperm, one egg. What created those? Chemicals, nutrients, matter, energy... you are all those things. You were here long before you existed and you will be here long after you're gone. The only thing making "you" "who you are" "right now" is consciousness -- awareness of Being.
nothing exists outside of my mind?
