    Welcome to a whole new world where you can’t do some fundamental form of thinking most people can.

    Theres also people apparently that don’t have an inner monologue and can’t hear words in their mind either. I truly can’t understand how that works. It’s way more foreign of a concept than not being able to visualize. But maybe that’s just because I’ve never been able to do it so I don’t know what I’m missing.

    The people that can’t do either are truly frightening. What’s going on up there?

      I’ve been practicing the rubbing thing today. The only things I think I’ve seen so far are faces, glimpses of and silouettes of.

      It works better if I keep my palms slightly pressed over both eyes. As soon as there’s a lightsource I just see that, light through my eyelids.

      This is amazing and slightly scary.

      How long since you’ve discovered this?
