Alec Figuroa

April 6, 2026

Alec Figueroa | Independent Researcher, Coach, and Consciousness Explorer

What if the line between imagination and perception is far thinner than we’ve been taught? In this episode, Hunter Bobeck sits down with independent researcher and coach Alec Figueroa to explore aphantasia, prophantasia, subtle perception, and the hidden mechanics of inner vision. This is a conversation about consciousness, human potential, and what happens when we finally get the language to describe experiences many people have been having in silence.

Alec shares how his purpose unfolded through years of experimentation, reverse-engineering perception, and helping others better understand the difference between the mind’s eye and what he calls prophantasia. Together, Hunter and Alec dig into spiritual practice, energetic training, and why language is not just descriptive, but developmental. The better we can name inner experience, the more we may be able to recognize it, reproduce it, and grow it.

This conversation moves through the distinctions between aphantasia, hyperphantasia, and prophantasia, while opening a much bigger question: what natural human abilities have been ignored simply because we never had the words, frameworks, or cultural permission to talk about them clearly? Alec’s work sits right at that edge, mapping the territory between imagination, perception, and expanded consciousness.
