Ganesha is known as the Lord of New Beginnings, as the Initiator, Guardian of Gateways etc.. (dmt-nexus)
Quote from “Elephanta: The Cave of Shiva” :
“Another variant emphasizes Ganesha’s ambivalent, liminal character as a doorkeeper. The gods complained to Shiva that by granting boons to demons to become his devotees, he was making it impossible for the gods to conquer the demons; they asked him, therefore, to create obstacles for the demons. Shiva then created Ganesha as the Lord of Obstacles (Vighnesha) to create obstacles for evil people (like demons) and to remove obstacles in the way of good people (like gods). The elephant is well suited as a remover of obstacles, as his vehicle, the rat, who can gnaw through any obstacles to reach food or find his way out of any maze. Ganesha is worshiped at the beginning of any undertaking and so is appropriately stationed near the periphery of the Elephanta complex.”

“I saw Ganesh who was at the time encircled by these beings which were just orbs of light. They parted and allowed me to walk to Ganesh who told me everything was gonna be alright and gave me a hug. The hug felt as if I was just bathed in all the love in the universe…. it gave me the courage to quit a job I hated and go to University… I’ve just completed my masters :). As an aside I then learned at university that Ganesha is the god of overcoming obstacles… had no idea of this before (studied anthropology).”

“I remember seeing this half elephant half Buddha like creature I don’t remember much of a “conversation” just remember him and bright orange light around us, felt like I’ve known him already for a long time, mind you I’m a jew so was never interested/read about Hindu gods and Ganesha in particular, so as soon as I came out I searched “elephant dmt” on google and found alot of stories about Ganesha So I know for sure it was him”
//
“This was a positive (I think?) encounter with something resembling the face of Ganesha, who wordlessly indicated that I was permitted to “pass through” something that I can’t quite remember.”
//
“I’ve seen him too but he was a wall mural being woven / sung by hundreds of small ant-like entities. His image was a gateway which dissolved to reveal the breakthrough.”
//
“Saw him on a breakthrough dmt trip.. He seemed quite cheerfull and danced, he made clear he wanted to show me something.. Started to twist and bend my whole conciousness through some wormhole kind of thing and on the other end was something heavenlike.. I was beyond good and evil and everything was as it should be.. it was one of 25 trips but one that I can still recall the feeling of.. Later i saw an image on google of Ganesh skipping and smiling and leading two people through some magical looking world which represented the whole experience quite well.”

“Had Ganesh appear before me with a praying mantis above her head”
//
“Then, in the middle of the clear mayan tiled ‘wall’, was a figure sitting in lotus position. Its hands were holding a glowing heart in front of its chest. In amazement, I blurted out in a whisper “i love you”… It began to move towards me, then centered itself above my heart, then lowered itself and sank into my heart as I watched in awe. I then looked up to see its face as this was happening, and saw that it was Ganesh. Then all the visions disappeared, and I lay there with tears in my eyes saying thank you, thank you, thank you.”
//
“At this point, there was an orange interwoven tunnel, SWIM traveled this tunnel for a moment and then was lead to a figure that resembled Ganesh, though the Elephant head was not very distinguishable, the pose of the body was obvious. Now, this part seemed incredible to him because Swim is not a very “spiritual” or “religious” person. SWIM has NEVER thought about Ganesh for probably more than 2 seconds his entire life, so seeing this figure was very surprising because it simply appeared out of nowhere.”
//
“Between the flowing fractal petals were small figures of elephants which resembled Ganesh, he was dressed in full ceremonial gear and was adorned with gems.”
//
“I can remember thinking, ‘hmm could do with this stopping now’ and at that point what I can only describe as an elephant headed being appears to the left of my vision. Its made of the same tron like light/patterns but I can clearly sense/see it. It was wearing a kind of cloak, and basically communicated by saying/through thought that everything was alright, and reached out and touched me. It was then that I gradually started to come back to reality.”
