Why Is Visualisation Important? Options

Is it possible to manipulate some energy flows through visualisation only?

If so, what's the direct effect of visualisation?

Does it somehow land onto the subconscious which makes out of the images a rouhly matter thing?

Or does it somehow land into the astral? or is there something else?

sorry for my silly questions

Visualization takes place strictly in the brain. The usefulness of visualization extends only so far as ultimately learning to actually manifest, which does not require visualization or any other pseudo sensory activity.

To get to this point, visualize something, then strip every sensory element away from it. There is 'something else' left behind. This is the something that you want to develop. It is not always there with visualization, however, and in the long run visualization will hinder this 'something'. We don't have a word for it because it isn't within the range of the five traditional senses. It's a kind of knowing or raw information that transcends the brain based intellect we are used to dealing with.

You can manipulate energy through visualization, but only to a point - more likely you will get caught up with the visualization itself and lose touch with the energy. The best way to manipulate energy is to do so directly with your energetic anatomy, which can be felt as a sixth sensory organ capable of manipulating energy the way the hands are a tactile organ capable of manipulating physical matter - and with similar limits and a grander scale.

This reply was perfect. Thanks Vagrant Dreamer. Im quite new to the occult and have been reading a doing what I can here and there but was quite lost as to the direction I should head. I think this however has opened up my eyes (As you said "visualization will hinder" things at times). I especially like your class guide on "developing the astral senses". Thanks again.
