No, but life with no SENSE seems to exist on this site, don't you agree?

First of all ,let me point out, that you couldn't " visualize" anyhting without senses. As far as answering the question.... Life without senses would be a waste of that life, also would probably be a short one. The waste of beauty and sound , that couldn't be experienced. The enjoyment of taste and aroma that would be missed. The pleasure of the flesh that would be lost. The senses help us to enjoy our lives to the utmost potential. However, the most basic reason for senses is to keep us alive. Seeing a threat or danger, hearing a threat or the direction of that threat, smelling an adversary, tasting bitter or rancid food. Feeling keeps us from getting hurt or lets us know when we are. Pain , fear and awareness are what govern the way you react to things in the most animalistic way.
Life without senses is no life at all.

the only things i know are because of what i can see and hear and taste and touch and smell... how could i possibly imagine anything else? but to say a life without these things is not a life, well thats rubbish. of course its a life. its just very different. and none of us can visualize it in the same way that we can't visualize colours other than the ones we've seen or textures other than the ones we've felt.
the lives we live are not the be all and end all.

Sure, if you mean going from life with senses, to life without. It'd be just like dreaming - you'd start with total sensory deprivation, and imagination would start to fill in the blanks until you were living a dream.
If you never had had any senses, I can't really imagine what that would be like. Because I don't know what it is like to be a newborn baby with no memory, no awareness of time, and no ability to perceive through senses. We learn all that stuff in the first few months of life.

Senses are the conectors of your mind with world you live in, the enviroment, your body, memory, predictions, current thoughts and so on... It depends what you mean about "life". If you mean alife organizm you are then you and no one other of us can not do a visualization of your "life" without using at least one sense... However if you mean a spiritual presence of you then we still have a problem, because it means exceeding level of presence of simple mortal human. It is too difficult to handle I think. I cant even try to try, at least it would mean "turning off" my mind what means death. This way you can propably gain the answer, but is it worth the cost. I guess not.

I can not. At the moment I have a life with senses, and life with no senses makes me think of just sitting in the dark with no sound, but again this is a form of life with senses because i would have to have a sense of sight/light to know i'm in the dark and a sense of hearing to know there is no sound at the moment, and a sense of touch to know i am sitting on something. so a life with no senses is probably no life at all- if you cannot sense you are alive, how do you know you are alive? and if you do not know you are alive, can you call that life at all?

visualizing is a sense of seeing something. But I belive in a soul, which has no senses, and that the soul is alive. So in a way I can visualise a soul which has no senses.

Hmm... Good question!
I used to wonder how on earth one might manage being a deaf, mute, blind person. That seemed tough! But no senses at all?
Our entire 'being' is surely the sum of our sensory experience. So I think you'd 'exist' but in a hellish 'non-existence' if that makes sense. You'd have no relationship with your surroundings and so no means to develop what we think of as 'consciousness'.
If you were born like that your existence would be 'vegetable' like. Your body would automatically breath and your heart beat but you'd be unaware of anything.
And if some terrible accident rendered you 'sense-less' I doubt you'd survive, since I think the experience would be surely be so traumatic you'd go insane.
What an awful idea! I doubt I shall sleep tonight for thinking about it. (Though thank you for 'provoking' my thoughts!)

If I had no senses I couldn't visualize anything.

No because thats impossible. You cant visualize it becuse you wouldnt have the sight sense. I think it would be like sleeping though. Because when your asleep it feels like everything shuts down and you dont feel (depends on your sesitivity), see, hear (except really loud things), smell or taste things but then again who knows maybe you do in your dreams. Hard question.

it makes no sense to visualize life with no sense.
