It is incredible how much progress has been made in the aphantasia space in a half decade. For anyone looking for anecdotes: I have acquired aphantasia. During my time of trying to understand myself, I started meditating. Around a year or so, I had an intense experience (Jhana with Nimitta for your meditation folks out there) and I regained my ability to visualize. The quality of my thoughts did not change. It is possible to regain your visualization ability if you want if you have acquired aphantasia in my experience but it’s just different; I don’t think you’re missing out on anything by not being able to visualize and I still enjoy being able to think without visuals
