    In this episode I welcome several guests with aphantasia or hypophantasia to share their outside the norm experiences with visuals. Lindsey shares her experience with a spiritual vision, Edward shares his experiences with psychedelics, Kristin shares her experiences with hypnagogia, and Donna shares her experiences with possibly all three.

  • Discovering the Mind of Kali Walsh
    Oct 28 2025

    Send us a text

    In this episode we discover how Kali Walsh's mind's eye works using the Discovering Your Mind Protocol. Kali has hyperphantasia and visualizes multiple videos in her mind at the same time from many different angles. Her mind's eye tends to overpower her actual eyes but usually in a very optimistic way. For example, she sees vividly the potential of something more than the reality of it. She says her inner monologue is more like an inner "visualogue" because instead of hearing the words, she sees them or she lip reads what people are saying in her imagination. Also, we stumble upon our different experience with the question "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?".

    Check out Kali's thoughts about psychological and spiritual growth, well-being, relationships and neurodiversity on @eternally_learning on both Facebook and Instagram.

  • Aphantasia, Grief, and Artificial Intelligence.
    Oct 21 2025

    Send us a text

    This is a mini episode derived from a discussion that a few of us from the Aphantasia, Visualization, and Grief panel discussion had about the possibilities of using AI as a tool for grieving the loss of a loved one. We talk about the potential upsides, downsides, ethical concerns, and more.
