THIS BOOK IS A
SCIENCE-BASED STUDY
OF THE HEBREW LETTERS OF GENESIS
THAT UNITES THE HIGHEST SPIRITUAL
PRINCIPLES
WITH A RATIONAL UNDERSTANDING OF
CREATION
Rabbinic
tradition asserts that every letter of
every word of the Torah is a word in
itself. Author Stan Tenen demonstrates
that each letter is also a hand gesture,
and it is at this level that Hebrew
forms a natural universal language. All
people, including children before they
speak and people without sight, make
natural use of these gestures.
In
The Alphabet That Changed the World,
Tenen examines the Hebrew text of
Genesis and its relationship to the
alphabet. He shows how each letter is
both concept and gesture, with the form
of the gesture matching the function of
the concept. There is thus an implicit
relationship between the physical world
of function and the conscious world of
concept. Using over 200 color
illustrations, Tenen demonstrates
geometric metaphor as the best framework
for understanding the deepest meaning of
the text.
Such
geometry models embryonic growth and
self-organization and the core of many
healing and meditative practices. Many
subjects in contemporary science were
derived from the methods and means
available to the ancients; The
Alphabet That Changed the World
makes this authoritative recovery of the
"science of consciousness" in Genesis
accessible for the first time to the
contemporary reading public.
