Being able to visualize clearly is a precursor to all kinds of spiritual work. Just the act of visualizing in itself is a form of magic. I've often heard "I just can't do it." but it only takes a little practice and I would highly encourage anyone wanting to do any sort of work in consciousness to learn to visualize clearly. Start out by thinking of a simple object, like an apple. If even that is too difficult, think of a shape, like a circle, and practice holding that image in your mind. When you can do this for a few minutes, then start turning the image around and viewing it from different angles. Change its color. Change its size. When you can do this and continually hold the image, pick a more difficult object. When visualizing with your eyes closed becomes easy, try doing it with your eyes open. It is an ability that comes very quickly for most people, and is very, very useful.
