Why? Because it can make your life not just a lot easier, but also very profitable. It can lead to success and fulfillment.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">But there is a conflict here, especially for those of us living in the age of science and technology because God is invisible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\"><b>God is both visible and invisible<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">Part of understanding God is to know that he is invisible, whether it was for the prophets, Yogis, or other God men. God has been invisible, but also visible. It all depends upon the religion that you know about, progress in, and practice. I do not want to complicate this issue. Let me put it very simply: God is both visible and invisible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">I am going to talk about it at some length in the initiation that I will be doing on Ganesha\u2019s birthday, where I will explain the visible and the invisible aspects of Ganesha.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">He is also inside the subtle body and in your first and third chakras. That is why an understanding of God in the Hindu tradition is comprehensive. This is what I did for my PhD. God has to be understood inside the body, outside the body, as with a form or as with no form.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">All of them are true and are profitable. In any religion, God is conceived as a hero, a superhuman being, or Divine Being who is omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\"><b>Whatever problems we cannot solve ourselves, these Gods can help us do that<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">That is why Jesus, at the end of his lifetime on the Earth plane said, \u2018Nothing is going to work. I did miracles, but then I am just one person who can be doing miracles all the time for you. I am going to go from here and send you the Holy Spirit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">The Holy Spirit will do all the miracles for you.\u2019 This is not to say that the Holy Spirit is not within you now. The Holy Spirit is also within you. Why did Jesus say that I had to go and send a Spirit? I am going to talk about how the Holy Spirit is also a real person and is within you already.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">I am going to combine all this and then give you a mantra, perhaps several mantras, to awaken the Ganesha within you in the physical and astral body, learn the methodologies to see him in person, understand why the use of having an image of God Ganesha with the elephant head and potbelly is necessary,\u00a0 and how it goes beyond the symbol.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">When you put all these things together, they are very useful.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\"><b>A statue is not just idolatry, it is a device<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">It is a technology like the fire ritual is a technology.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">I will also lead you with a candle worship because the candle as fire is able to facilitate the divine being, (in this case, Ganesha), to come and be present and establish a connection with the people who are praying to him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">All this knowledge will be revealed to you. An initiation will be part of it. That is what I intend to do. In the meantime, the best way you can benefit from this initiation and lecture on Ganesha is to go back to at least thirty, forty, or even fifty videos I have done on Ganesha, including the neurotheology of Ganesha and how he is localized in your anterior cingulate in the form of the neuron called Von Economo Neuron.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">This is a very special neuron, which you find in humans and in only very few animals like dolphins, elephants, and monkeys. These are super-intelligent beings. I have done many videos on this before; just if you can watch them, then that will prepare you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\"><b>It is a matter of establishing a relationship with Ganesha<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Gana-Esha\u2019 means the Being who is very powerful, has a super intelligence, and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the ability to help you in a very remarkable way.
