"Out of sight, out of mind" 

If only, we could reverse time

and ask of this proverbial testimony;

was the author aphantic,

or just musing memory?

Zeman Labs | The Changed Definition of Aphantasia

Beyond Deficits: Unlocking the Uniqueness of Our Mental Perception Imagination in English, comes from the Latin imaginatio , which translates the Greek term phantasia . Defined in the 14th century. Before this, we had mystics who understood mind far better than modern science does, listing seven mental senses (clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, claircognizance, clairtangency, clairgustance and clairaliance) and the daimon.  Phantasia in Greek, derived from phainesthai (meaning "to appear" or "to become visible"), refers to mental imagery formed without sensory input. Originally, Aphantasia  referred specifically to the absence of mental visual imagery. All the terms mentioned above pertain to types of imagery, focusing solely on one sense: vision. None of these terms encompass mental senses that are not image or vision-based. The full scope of mental sense perception is not detailed in these definitions, what they do is define the subheading that encomp

A Marriage of Science & Mysticism

Dysikonesia, Aphantasia and a Sophisma: Uncovering a Key to the Minds Mental Mixing Deck.

Clairvoyance,  literally means ' clear seeing ' or the ' foreseeing light of mind ' - the minds vision.

Smell  -   Clairalience   clarity of thought in smell. Taste  -   C lairgustance ,   clarity of thought in taste. Touch  -   Clairtangency , clarity of thought in physical sensation or

A Terrain Theory

Terrain theory asserts that health, whether individual or planetary, depends on the internal environment's balance. Disease arises not from a single external invader but from disruptions within the system. Earth, like any living organism, maintains an internal terrain that must be kept in balance. Humans play the role of its immune system—our intelligence and adaptability are part of Earth’s natural defense mechanisms. However, the system has been compromised by the toxic information and technology spread  through us;  vi-r-us. As the human immune system of Earth, we were meant to respond to threats and maintain planetary harmony. But the viral influence has altered our behaviour, turning us away from our original role of stewardship. Now, instead of working for the planetary body, we unconsciously serve the needs of the virus, spreading it further and deepening the imbalance. The Earth’s immune system—us—is now behaving autoimmunely. Confused and overwhelmed, it attacks elements
