GANESH
This is a short video meditation on Ganesh. As you mediate on Ganesh's image
focus inwardly upon the Ganesh within.

Ganesh is know as the god that removes obstacles in our lives. By
praying/focusing on Ganesh he removes the obstacles out of our life. This is
a complete internal process, for we (ourselves - our
perceptions/expectations/beliefs) are the obstacles in our own lives. Ganesh
is not an external God even though he may manifest in certain aspects of
outer life.
Ganesh represents an actual physical part of the human/animal anatomy - the
reptilian brain.
Brain.........................Ganesh
Pons..........................Face
Medulla......................Trunk
Cerebellum..................Ears
Trigeminal Nerves.........Tusk
As kundalini rises up the sushumna channel if our consciousness is not
clean/clear Ganesh blocks it from rising into the higher brain. This
prevents poisonous minds from possessing true power.
Temples were built to represent the internal process. Pyramids (fire in the
middle) represented the enlightened mind: the king chamber (pineal) and
queen chamber (pituitary). Elephants were used to mark the entrance of
old temples. You had to get past them to enter the sacred temple.
