New here also. I don't have the ability to visualize or hear sounds in my mind. I do, however, feel things internally. So when I dream or recall a memory, I recall/dream essentially in feelings and ideas. For me, it didn't occur to me that people actually visualize and see God! *laughing* (I'm not laughing at you. I'm laughing at me still struggling to understand that visualization isn't metaphorical.)  When it comes to faith (for me, that's God), I've accepted that I do not need to see or hear His voice to know He is there. I take it on faith. I know He is listening. I know He hears me. I know He answers my prayers. I feel Him - most notably through a sense of calm or peace. Or I might stumble upon an article to read that tells me what I need to know. Or I get a phone call or an email from an unexpected place. God talks to us in the ways we can hear Him best. He knows those ways better than we do. And I take that completely on faith. He said He is there. Always. And I believe Him. No proof necessary.
