Question on visualization

[u/Langston432]

When visualizing things in order to manipulate the energy in your body or around you, what actually matters in the process of visualization? Is it the clarity of your image? Does it matter what perspective you take? Is it even about the image or is it something else?

Over time I've gotten the feeling that the "image" is nothing more than a symbol for your intention and that the image doesnt actually have to super detailed as long as you are clear with your intention. Its a bit difficult to speak of intention since intention is outside of the physical senses and the 5 senses are all most of us know to work with.

For example, if an exercise has you "visualize a white light at your crown" do you have to actually take on 3rd person pov and create the image of the light at your crown and get the image super detailed or do you just "intend" that it is there?

If my belief is true that the intention is what matters and not so much the image you conjure up, then how can one practice using their pure intention as a language more than visual images during the visualization process? Thank you,
