the poetry of madness

seeing

It is said that energies can be controlled by "visualizing" the desired response.  A problem arises because the visual metaphor is too narrow - sight is only one of our senses, vision is but one of our interpretations.  Instead, I say  "imagine the response was truth."

To raise the temperature of your hand, imagine your hand is in ice water.  Imagine all your senses - imagine your emotional response.  Believe it is true and your body responds.  To sleep, imagine yourself falling asleep.  To relax, imagine yourself relaxing.  Don't just visualize the scene.  Feel it in every way you can.  The relaxation follows naturally.

Visualizing was probably chosen because it is more concrete than imagining.  Proper administration might instruct us to visualize, smell, feel, taste, hear, the whole nine yards.  Imagine yourself as you want to be and become.

more specifically, we are diverting our mental energies from the left to the right (as the case may be) - braking our analytical chatter, an internal power generator that can overwhelm our senses and reduce our analysis to fear projection

people sell us things by scaring us

don't let them scare you

there is nothing wrong with being risk averse, but don't let fear take your reins

what was the question again?
