Welcome to a whole new world where you can’t do some fundamental form of thinking most people can.
Theres also people apparently that don’t have an inner monologue and can’t hear words in their mind either. I truly can’t understand how that works. It’s way more foreign of a concept than not being able to visualize. But maybe that’s just because I’ve never been able to do it so I don’t know what I’m missing.
The people that can’t do either are truly frightening. What’s going on up there?
It’s been about a year or so. You shouldn’t have to constantly apply pressure. When I first started I just kind of took whatever was there and tried to pretend it was a specific thing then hold that thought then as it morphed and changed just quickly identified a new thing and held that thing as long as possible. I think the article calls it image streaming. Then when all the sparks fade from pressure maybe do it again.

I’ve been practicing the rubbing thing today. The only things I think I’ve seen so far are faces, glimpses of and silouettes of.
It works better if I keep my palms slightly pressed over both eyes. As soon as there’s a lightsource I just see that, light through my eyelids.
This is amazing and slightly scary.
How long since you’ve discovered this?

Dude. I had to revisit your comment. This is amazing.
Thank you 1000 times!!!
Awesome I’m glad it’s doing something for you, getting better at visualizing at all?
Not at all, as in, intentionally creating an image.
But I see visuals, usually faces, or silhouettes of faces.
Most importantly is the sleep. Thank you.
(I’ve always been able to sleep easily being a passenger in a car, observing the world go by. I think this is similarly soothing.)
