that's a different practice though, just uses the same tool (visualization). The goal is not happiness/serenity/inner strength but powering up your memory.


It's fundamentally the same thing, at first I was pretending. Now when I have to access positional memory I see it in my mind and it doesn't feel artificial at all. I can walk through places I've been and remember small environmental details if I focus on them, which is very convenient when I get lost (I have no sense of direction). It's real in a way that it never was before, which is not dissimilar to what we're talking about.
