Ditto here. I do not 'see' I sense it... mainly falling back on my memory of it and that's how I construct images. In order to visualise I have to focus my awareness at an imaginary spot about 6 inches in front of my forehead (yes outside my physical body) in order to visualise. Most of the time I couldn't be bothered. When someone says what is a tangerine? I know what a tangerine is and just go with the facts that I know what it looks like. IE fruit from the citrus family, orange in colour, that I distlike the taste and smell of. I know it looks nothing like a watermelon. In order to remember thes facts I must have had an intant visual representation of it in my mind to know these facts about it.
When some one says now image you are holding a tangerine. I just say OK and imagine since I know I'm only imagining it. I see it no different than fantasising what I would do with a million dollars. I've learnt not to sweat the details since I cannot compare how images look in someone elses mind I figure that's good enough for me. If you can tell me anything about where you grew up I say you have enough visualisation ability to survive.
That said, Frank, do the course once through first just to understand the principle of it let the details take care of themselves once you start using the system. Some aspects of the course you will adapt to suit you and that will be easier to do once you understand the general procedure.
