Vision is an objective lens by which everyone perceives the world, thus allowing for an embodied and universal viewpoint on matters in the sciences.

  • Visualization, as a tool, allows individuals to become more in tune with their spiritual selves, thus allowing for the embodiment of a rationalist mindset

  • Visualization is necessary for our understanding of the physical world, but not necessary in the abstract world, as embodiment is a purely superficial concept
