I don't have much ability to visualise, mostly I will see just blackness or if I'm lucky a low-res black-and-white image. I generally get more info from feelings or impulses that guide me in the right direction. Keep up the great work Tom & Crew!
Look up prophantasia and watch and read those, someone was able to fix their inner visualizations after learning about and trying to visualize on their field of vision (prophantasia as opposed to hyperphantasia which is rich inner mental landscape)
Excellent conversation. Loved hearing Tom's personal account at the end. I can only imagine what fun it must have been growing up with Tom as a father. Tricky to imagine. But I can feel it :)
Thanks Tom & Donna 🙏🏻 This is very helpful. I can see it as potential limiting belief as well. That could be part of my upbringing and the culture where I’m from. Love what you do. It’s very important work ❤
I have the exact problem. Can't seem to hold a vivid image in my mind's eye while meditating Or really at all. I wasn't aware there was an "official" name for this condition until now... As a child I was diagnosed with ADHD and have always had minor problems with audio / visual processing so I suspect that's what it is.
I don’t think it has anything to do with belief considering I didn’t even know visualization or visual memories were even a concept until I was in my 30’s. It’s also not just visuals but every sense of sound, touch, taste, smell etc. also I can remote view without images. The dim purple light in the back of my eyelids forms the shape as a block of color.
This message is for Tom Campbell and Company. I have an intuition that I feel like mentioning to you. I really have the feeling that if you reach out to the actor Keanu Reeves, he will really resonate with this message and teaching of MBT. He is of course the actor who played Neo in the blockbuster movie The Matrix, which is all about how this world is a simulation. I think he might be interested in helping give Tom and his team more publicity and attention to this topic and all of the work that you guys do. Just an idea. Thought I might mention it. Peace.
I have had the ability to have mental pictures consciously and unconsciously fade away, and then I have been able to restore the ability to have visual dreams while unconscious. And a number 4 out of the 1-5 picture of the apple, the fuzzy outline only. When I suppressed the visuals, it was because I was freshly out of a toxic relationship with lots of gaslighting involved. Over time, my mental health suffered due to the lack of dreams; it has a sort of cleansing function with the brain and organizing data. It became very cluttered in there, very difficult to function.
Nah. Its definitely not that. I found out people could visualize 10 years ago. I always thought it was a figure of speech. So i never had some weird blocker. Its less thsn 1% of the population who are aphants. So i doubt its some fear of failing.

I have “knowing” or sense but very little visuals. But I am successful at receiving data and processing it. I just know.

I have both senses but I prefer one over the other and I predict my use of the preferred sense has strengthened it.
It just healed my aphantasia.... Two headed chickens lol
Sounds a bit like Synesthesia. ✌🏼💫

The dreams of mine that end up being a moment of dejavu (years later, usually), those dreams are always visual.
