Permit me to add: contemporary physics recognizes four basic energies binding

together the cosmos: weak force (sub-atomic), strong force, electromagnetism

and gravity. It does not require too much of an imaginal leap to sense a

parallel with air/fire/water/earth (or their Sanscrit equvalents, which, I

gather, are far more subtle than our Western view). I often flash on these four

basic energies when glancing at Ganesh's four arms, remembering that in the

cauldron that is his belly resides All-That-Is. aqesa <aqesa >

is an association between Ganesha and Hermes or Thot.About the number 4, well,

we have the Cross as basic symbol representing the 4, up down left right, 4

elements etc...but also, inside the 4 as inside the cross there is an invisible

number we tend to forget, the fith element wich is the crossroad between the 4

lines, wich sends us once more to the most important part: THE HEART.Indeed, in

Buddhism also we have the 5 skandas, that transformed become the elements or

qualities of an enlightened being, and the vajra of the heart, represents

exactly this, the transformation, the enlightenement. Always we come back to

the same central point, the heart.Ganesha also has as symbol the star of six,

star of David, wich also is the symbol of the heart chakra, at least I have

seen some images of ganesha with this star, wich is also a tantric symbol,

specifically the star with the OM inside.The star of David, forms 2

tetrahedros, wich is the Merkaba our vehicle in other realms.The merkabah has

apparently a connexion with the purity of our hearts. the star of david, or

star of six points, has aswell a central point, 7 points, the six points of the

star, plus the central point, the heart, that wich unites all, wich is in

geometric shapes, the hexagon.Anyhow, all this is amazing perhaps one day all

this is discovered completely....LoveBarbara
