Explain this one to me
How does it work?

Your prayers need not be limited to voice alone, for God is the ultimate source of soul and all thoughts lead back to Heaven
A prayer could be anything, as long as it is sincere
Reverence of a pleasant scent, the beauty of a sunset, the bitter taste of old wine,
these are all fine prayers

You associate one bodily function to one stimuli aka visualization then whenever you want to manually do that bodily function you just have to evoke the visualization you assigned

Imagine you're not a human but some sort of mechanical android. It helps!
>>18745502
How do you discern between you being able to do that, with an entity possessing you and using supernatural abilities to evoke that function?
In essence, how can you prove humans are able to influence external things via their own thought?
Through which mechanisms would these things work?

Through the recognition of miracles

And, take that picture unironically for a moment.
Let us analyse the potential things "wavy grey claw" could be:
>potentiation between energies harnessed by the mind?? somehow??
>a literal demon claw, meaning a demon residing in the mind
>an impossibility, just an ironic drawing

Each act of visualisation, is then a 'miracle'? Meaning, recognition of higher powers working their graceful plans in our realm?

>Each act of visualisation, is then a 'miracle'?
I never thought of it that way, but yes, indeed

Sounds shady af.
It's not right.

This question is essentially how to prove consciousness exist

Well... how do you?
Is there at least a means of differentiating between self-generated thoughts, and perhaps, thoughts generated from a separate consciousness?
I suppose the answer is in mindfulness.
But how do you find the limitations or extents of the capabilities of consciousness?

I've finally found a thread where I'm able to tell my things about visualization. After writing a huge ass brick of text I realized it won't be of anyhelp and deleted it so I'll try to condense it to something easy and clear.
From my experience as a young man with sight as my primarly developped sense :
Imagination is important. faith too. Sight must be linked to other senses, like Touch. Sight and visualization can be trained and forced. It can even hurt if practised too intensely and without a final goal. Concentration is important, though langage won't be of any help. Don't think in terms of logic and logstic if you want to develop sight. Meditation helps because less is more and you can achieve overstimulated states of sense where sight blossoms like a flower. Sight can be influenced by thought or langage but itls tight af.
Better see clear than deep. Seeing both is possible but hard. Good luck. Follow light.
