Aphantic Wisdom


We all know more about things than we understand,
like we all know we breathe,

Clairvoyance,  literally means ' clear seeing ' or the ' foreseeing light of mind ' - the minds vision. This understanding was a very helpful key for me in pondering the differences between people with regards to mental perceptions in the absence of defined language, even if it was not suitable for long-term use.  Explaining Mental Perception with The Seven Clair's a nd The Daimon: Vision  -  Clairvoyance , clarity of thought in vision.   Sound  -   Clairaudience ,  clarity of thought in sound. Smell  -   Clairalience   clarity of thought in smell. Taste  -   C lairgustance ,   clarity of thought in taste. Touch  -   C...
