    Dear "Crimson Tea Biscuit",

    >> While I can visualize confidently and successfully with my eyes
    open - I have quite a bit of difficulty visualizing with my eyes closed.
    When I visualize something with my eyes closed, such as a banana - it
    tends to appear quite vague and only part of it is in view, after a
    little while it fades altogether. It appears correctly and accurately
    when I have my eyes open. When performing closed eye visualizing, I have
    tried duplicating the mental process that I perform with my eyes open -
    but without much success. The images are simply not 'summoned up'
    easily. <<

    I don't know if this is the "answer" per se, but I'd like to offer this
    as something for you to ponder. :) One difference between working with
    eyes-open and eyes-closed is that with eyes-open you have some sort of
    defining background upon which to project your visualization. In other
    words, there's a surface which has depth, etc. With eyes-closed on the
    other hand, there is no surface but only a depthless blackness. Your
    brain therefore isn't able to say, for example, "okay, I will create
    this visualization three feet in front of my face". It has no automatic
    judgment of *where* to place the visualization.

    Furthermore, in the eyes-closed visualization one doesn't *use* the eyes
    in the same way that one does when eyes are open. It forces one to work
    with the mental creativity alone, separate from normal sight.

    Over all, I recommend that you keep working at it. :)

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
