Your post makes me angry. This arrogant “everyone is just like me, and if their not, they just need to learn!” is so patronizing I could spit! Now thats out of the way, let me argue the semantics of “conceptualize” vs “visualize”. I can conceptualize your lemon, I can feel it, sense it. I just can’t “see it”. I have no minds eye, and you know what? I don’t care. Seriously, is this what you say to people born blind? “the truth is, everyone can visualize.” No, not everyone can “picture things in their head”.

To assume everyone is wired the same way seems presumptuous. I’ve never been able to visualize images in my mind, and some people can not stop to the point it is a disability. Some people can visualize numbers as shapes, allowing them to “see” mathematics in their mind.

I can not visualize on demand. However I do occasionally see a picture in my mind, but I can neither create or control it and in fact, as soon as I try to focus on it, the image disappears. When I try to visualize on demand, I see nothing. I agree with many of the posts, feeling and imagining is not the same as visualizing.

I have to disagree. I have been unable to mentally visualize my entire life. I can “know” something without seeing it at all in my mind. I mentally know what a lemon looks/tastes like, but if I close my eyes I cannot mentally envision a lemon at all.

I cant visualize things when i close my eyes. like my friends say that they can but nomater how hard i try i cant. I found a web site about this and it says that about ten percent of people canot visualize things with their eyes closed. The only way i can is to smoke alot of weed. if you cant visualize things like me than you should try smoking weed so you can see what it is like.

You are absolutely wrong in associating visualization with imagining. A lot of people are capable of imagining sensory input, such as taste or emotion, but that is NOT VISUALIZATION. Visualization IS “VISUALIZING”. That word has a specific meaning. It means TO SEE!! Not TO FEEL or TO PRETEND or TO WISH. And it is a critical component in manifesting. I believe your intent to help people may be sincere, but your advice is fundamentally inaccurate.

even following your prescription for visualizing the lemon etc. did not help. I am convinced some , like myself can not visualize. Honestly , I believe my muscles have better memory and ability than my mind. I can pick up a dance or physical skill much easier than I can use my brain and either converse or even reason .I believe it’s just how God wired me.
