I read once that bodhisattva do not come to us as golden Buddhas, but dressed as people in our everyday life. That we only notice and respond to that which we are most familiar with. The actual appearance of a golden Buddha would be so far out that we might not think it pertained to us.
One visualization is to imagine that everyone around you is an enlightened being, and they are all showing up to help you along on your path. Whether it's the guy that just cut you off in traffic or the one that has saved more for retirement, the emotions they invoke in you are to shed light, to enlighten you, to the truth of what you're feeling inside.
