Lord Ganesh The Hindu ICON
for the human’s Problem Solving Function
The biological problem solving
function, and which the Hindus have imagined (i.e. formed, simulated) and
named as the deity Ganesh, is a sub-function of the Basic Biological
Operating System of all living creatures. As basic, hence vital sub-function,
the Ganesh problem solving function is ever present and ready for action. The Ganesh function activates (or is
intentionally activated) whenever a problem needs to be resolved or an
obstacle overcome. In order to be able to intentionally
access and activate one’s problem solving function, and which operates in the
pre-conscious and is, therefore not directly accessible, it is imagined (i.e.
imaged or symbolised, i.e. simulated and projected upon the screen
experienced as consciousness) in a personalised and somewhat irrational form.
That fantasised form (or arbitrary name-as-sound-bite), i.e. as image or
icon, serves as (hyper-) link to the (formless, nameless, because operating in
biological ‘machine’ language, hence) inaccessible because unconscious
problem solving sub-function. In the case of the Lord Ganesh, the
iconic (or symbolic) form (i.e. as hyper-link) is theriomorphic
(i.e. having animal features), hence deliberately made irrational. The
irrational form (i.e. of Ganesh) is superimposed on the formless innate
problem solving function to create downtime in (that is to say, to disable or
halt) the human’s rational, critical function, thus facilitating easier
access to that unconscious function (and which operates as part of the
human’s Basic Biological Operating System (or Bio-Turing Machine), elsewhere named Brahman,
or Atman, or Prajapati in the speculations of the 2nd
to 5th Brahmanas of the Brhad-aranyaka Upanishad. |
