Influence Behind Obstacles
Let’s make this a little more experiential shall we? Understanding Ganesha can be easily approached by understanding the human history with elephants. In the pre-industrial age, elephants were really never a threat to humanity, and the cultures that learned to live with them even came to see them as beneficent allies. They never really domesticated…

I have seen people use silence as a way to get someone to say things they don’t want to. They just ask a question and stare at you, not saying a word and letting you stew in the silence. That is the way of Ganesha also, and the way of the genuine guru. If you…

Identity is Integral
Shall we risk taking a step away from normal human experience for a moment to do some deconstruction? This shows up in the case of autistics (which includes myself). Below your normal level of awareness (and in this case I mean neurotypicals) is the system they are calling the default mode network. This coupled with…

This also seems descriptive for a type 3 indigo. I do have many of these traits that alternate but know…
