Day 2 question- see things
Quote from Traci Hoffman on December 16, 2021, 7:36 pmI'm one of those people who don't "see" things when I close my eyes. I don't ever and haven't ever been able to picture something. I can think about it, I know it, but I do not see the image. So the elephant exercise doesn't work for me. Where does that leave me?

I'm really surprised at how many people are unable to do this. I've never even heard of this until the last 2 or 3 years.
Skip it. It's not important for the lesson you need to learn.
Which is: find out what is arising from your less-than-fully-conscious mind.
If you can identify what is arising from the mysterious place that isn't your conscious mind, by watching your awareness and seeing when thots or emotions or whatever pop up, then you will be accomplishing the same thing. Notice that you cannot choose what arises. That you don't really know where this mysterious place is. This is what is important about the Pink Elephant.
