Answer from Master Kosen

It is solely the brain that defines what reality is for each individual. Reality is not at all something objective, as people would have us believe. There are realities you are incapable of perceiving simply because you are incapable of conceiving them, so your eyes do not see them.
Visualization means focusing your intention and concentration while forgetting everything else. It has nothing to do with hallucination; it is creative work, just as God is a creator.
