    Dear RM,

    >> If I had to guess, I'd say that questions about the visualization
    exercise of step 2 win the prize for the most commonly asked
    questions on the list. It also makes searching the archives an
    experience in information overload. So please forgive me if this has
    already been answered. <<

    ;-) Yeah and for me it's been a matter of writer's cramp instead of
    information overload! ;-)

    >> When I work on visualizing something I seem to have two distinct
    modes. Mode 1 feels like it is deep inside --- it's like remembering
    an image. Mode 2 feels like it is a projection of an image on the
    insides of my eyelids. Mode 1 images seem to have better texture and
    color and mode 2 images are more vivid (they seem to glow).
    Please note that the images that appear to be projected on the
    inside of my eyelids do NOT appear to be just a fading after-image
    from whatever I looked at before I closed my eyes.
    Anybody have any suggestions about which of the two modalities is
    the correct one for IIH? <<

    This is absolutely amazing, RM, you've come up with a *new* question!
    ;-)

    The second mode is what you're aiming for, but the first mode is a part
    of the process of reaching the second. Your second mode is the truly
    creative mode which is not dependent upon memory and this is the ability
    that these Step Two exercises strive to teach -- *creative* imagination.

    These are not merely memory improvement exercises. This becomes
    especially evident when you're creating an image that you've never seen
    before -- in such a case, there's no memory to rely upon.

    There's a similar corollary with the other sensory concentration
    exercises as well. For example, with the auditory exercise it's
    important that you are *creating* the sound, not just remembering it.

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
