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.
Clairvoyance = Clarity of thought in visions (100%, Hyperphantasia - 0%, Aphantasia)
intuition, muscle memory, genetic memory and fight or flight responses)
reflex cognition - ah-ha moments, Clairsentience = Clarity of thought in feelings (0%, Alexithymia)
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.
rprint, unique to us all? A mixing deck of senses; that we all have different levels and combinations for, in order to achieve balance?

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