Clairvoyant Appropriation

I have aphantasia and anauralia - scientific definitions for a blind and silent mind. It is a Clairvoyant world, when only 2-5% have aphantasia - in that, most can 'count sheep' in their minds eye, to various degrees.

I am unable to see images in my mind - I can't 'count sheep' like others - my minds eye is blind. I am just counting, knowing the numbers represent sheep. I lack what may once have been called clairvoyance, which can be defined as; 'clear seeing' or 'minds clarity of vision'.

Etymology of Clairvoyance:
Clarity - the ability to think clearly / brightness of mind (Latin)
Clair - clear (French), Voir - to see (French)
Clairvoyant - clear sighted perspective (French)

Aphantasia and anauralia come under 'voyance' and 'audition' of the mind, some of my thinking senses others don't understand, that I find hard to explain (and that compensate for this lack of mental vision), seem to come under the other Clair's mentioned in history. 

This is how this useful language breaks down for me, and why it might be helpful to those of us who think in ways not yet fully understood by science:

Clairvoyance = Clarity of thought in visions (100%, Hyperphantasia - 0%, Aphantasia)
Claircognizance = Clarity of instant thought (reflex cognition - ah-ha moments, intuition, muscle memory, genetic memory and fight or flight responses)
Clairaudience = Clarity of thought in sound (0% Anauralia)
Clairolfaction / Clairalience = Clarity of thought in smell
Clairgustance = Clarity of thought in taste
Clairtangent / Clairtactile = Clarity of thought in touch
Clairsentience = Clarity of thought in feelings (0%, Alexithymia)

Are there scientific definitions for the lack of these other senses in the mind? Like aphantasia (lack of mental imagery), anauralia (lack of mental sounds), alexithymia (lack of ability to sense your own or others feelings) and dysikonesia (multi-sensory aphantasia - a lack of many mental senses)?

"Because there is currently no English word denoting an absence of auditory imagery, we propose a new term, anauralia, for referring to this, and offer suggestions for further research."

The body has more than just the basic 5 senses, the current research indicates 53, but the Egyptians thought there were as many as 360. It is possible the mind has a version for these others also? 

Could there also be a...

Clairchronoception - Clarity of thought regarding time?
Clairspatial - Clarity of thought regarding spatial awareness?
Clairthermoception - Clarity of thought regarding temperature?
Clairnociception - Clarity of thought regarding pain?
Clairproprioception - Clarity of thought regarding body movement, force and position?

Maybe there are people who can see the past and future at one end of the extreme?

It also makes sense to me now, why some people with Parkinson's can see Machine elves, why patients with PTSD can have visual or emotional flashbacks, how schizophrenia patients hear voices and see visions, how tulpamancers can create tulpas, why dementia patients can mentally 'time hop' uncontrollably, why some people suffer psychopathy and how psychogenic drugs can cause trips. Even why some people can smell colours or taste numbers and maybe why some people get phantom limb pain.

Are our individual minds like a fingerprint, unique to us all? A mixing deck of senses; that we all have different levels and combinations for, in order to achieve balance?

The new and growing understanding of the human mind is fascinating to one that is silent and blind. I look forward to there being accepted language to discuss it all.

    Others also wondered, even the Vatican had its rumors of the Chronovisor; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2KtaOjsv_M

    1. Could also explain all the so-called "modern" depictions of things seen in ancient artifacts, drawings and stonework. They trusted there were those who could perceive such things more than we do today. Maybe it is a rare or lost trait in today's population?

Anauralia and Anendophasia

"In the silent tenebrous abyss, feelings ebb and flow. Thoughts swim like fishes, in the eternal depth below the surface of my mind, where knowing likes to grow " - Impossible Language . The vocabulary for mental perception is expanding. It is satisfying to see the  key is holding out as science works to categorize this new frontier: Aphantasia (Vision/Eye) "The inability to form mental images of real or imaginary people, places, or things." Alexithymia (Emotion/Heart) "Alexithymia is when a person has difficulty experiencing, identifying, and expressing emotions." Anauralia (Sound/Ear) "Anauralia is the phenomenon of an absence of auditory sensory imagery - not hearing anything in one's inner ear" We can now add; Anendophasia (Speech/Voicebox) "Recent research introduces 'anendophasia' as a term for the absence of inner speech, revealing that not everyone experiences internal dialogue. The study compared adults with low and hig

A Marriage of Science & Mysticism

Dysikonesia, Aphantasia and a Sophisma: Uncovering a Key to the Minds Mental Mixing Deck. It occurred to me one day, that taken for their literal meaning only, the psychic concepts of the  Seven Clair's and the Daimon, provide handy language framework for all the main mental senses. 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  -   Clairtangency , clarity of thought in physical sensation or
