Honestly hats off to you subclub. I bought minds eye today. To make my shadow work session, Meditation, Metta more effective. And after the first loop I got considerably better at visualising like i could feel heat from the visualsation among other things.
Just wow,
Mindās eye is great. I think everybody should run it because visualization is very important
What is the use of visualization ?
Sorry am a noob in this one .
Minds eye is really awesome. Only played two loops and it works really fast.
No idea why but I am unable to visualize at all
I was hoping Minds Eye would help but so far no such luck
Canāt you visualise sounds or anything? I more audiotory so sound have always been easy for me. But touch have been super hard
Nothing
As @StateOfBeing said I probably have Aphantasia which isnāt difficult to believe as I recently discovered I am on the spectrum
Have to agree.
I used to always make visualisation a thing of the past because I thought I could never do it but one of the videos I watched regarding Law of Assumption said to imagine a golf ball, a football, something else and a lemon in your hand and I could feel all of them in my hands with my eyes open. I could literally feel them.
I could see them, feel the heaviness between them, the look etc. It was crazy. This could be from Alchemist and Sage included but Minds Eye for sure also.
I watched the exactly same video, right before I bought minds eye.
Thatās awesome
I just imagined you two watching that video, holy molyā¦ 
Iām similar @James.
largely aphantasic.
be on the lookout, though, for non-typical forms of imagination. youāve clearly got a sensitive and highly imaginative mind. itās just not expressing itself (consciously) through the typical visual mode that weāve come to expect.
in my case, i find that i seem to download concepts, insights, and āknowingsā. it just happens.
Those Greek ideas of the muses and of the inner daimon, I find really easy to accept. Sometimes, my consciousness feels like an antenna. Like Iām getting insights and contents delivered to me. I think thatās another form of imagination-based knowing. (Thankfully, itās not heightened to the level of psychotic experiences.)
Youāll have your own modes and avenues of knowing. I think that Mindās Eye works first with those. In my year-plus with Mindās Eye, Iāve found some gradual increase in visual imagery-based cognition, but itās been like an improvement from 23% to 34%-40% or something like that. On the other hand, itās still happening now; still continuing to increase and improve over time. So thatās interesting.
In the meantime, though, sometimes Iāve found an even greater spike in that other form of knowing that I mentioned. Itās not visual; itās more like pure conceptual or pure knowing.
Soā¦
I think it may be quite particular @SubliminalUser.
Possibly not a case of simple skill or capacity development.
When I was around 19, I came across the ideas of Dawna Markova. She said that specific sensory modalities were associated with different altitudes of cognition. In other words, deep, unconscious processes were associated with a particular sense channel; subconscious, dream-like processes primarily with another channel, and conscious, problem-solving cognition with another channel.
She said that each individual had his/her own sense-cognition combinations.
That framework has stayed with me over the years, and I think it may explain how my mind uses visual-imagery-based cognition.
Itās there. But I access it more easily when Iām dreaming or if Iām in an altered state. Itās associated, in other words, with some deeper cognitive modes.
Donāt know if this is true for you @James, but even though I donāt really access much visual imagery when Iām consciously alert and awake, I do have visual experiences in my dreaming.
So thatās an example of what Iām talking about.
Mindās Eye has helped me to access visual imagery by helping me to access altered states of consciousness.
But Iām not sure if Iām supposed to just switch visual cognition to be my conscious, alert style of processing. Because those other levels of cognition have their own special purposes and functions. Kind of like how itās easier to do āautomatic writingā, when you use your non-dominant hand. If both hands were equally skilled, automatic writing might become very difficult to do.
Something like that.
I didnāt really quite express the point as I intended, so Iām trying again:
You may find, @James, that you are capable of accessing a state of pure abstraction; accessing knowing, in other words, without the need for a sensory modality.
Do you think this might be the case? Think of your style of relating to concepts and working with ideas.
Itās entirely possible. I was told recently by a good friend of mine that she feels I am on the spectrum so the abstraction aspect definitely makes sense
Oh wow thatās cool. Good to know. Did it help with meditation/metta as well?
Honestly it seems to help with a lot of things. Like visualising people, Circulating sexual energy and more.
@James I challenge you not to visualize a PINK elephant !!
I bet you saw one !! so you can visualize
