We can know what a concept is by 'visualizing' it, or imagining it inside our minds. For example, even if there is nothing orange in the room, you can still understand what 'orange' means by visualizing it in in your mind. Some things can only be conceived of through 'visualization', since they can't be seen directly (for example, God).

I lost the ability to visualize a couple of specific concepts, a few years ago. I have a vague understanding of what these concepts are, as I can't really think about them. Over time the concepts have grown more vague to my senses.

The entire structure of my psychology has remained the same, the only difference is my loss of ability to conceptualize two specific things. This seems to be a very unusual phenomenon, and I've failed to find anything about it through research.

Does anyone know why this happens, or how it can be reversed?

Edit: The things I can't visualize are :

1. I can't conceive of mathematical concepts, I can only think about the symbols and representations

2. I can't think about a divine God, I can only think about an anthropomorphic God.

Are there any psychological techniques or interventions that can lift these 'mental blocks'?
