Meru Foundation findings have strong
philosophical
implications which can shed light in many fields – approaches to
science,
spirituality, and even social and political issues. Inspiration for
these
articles can come from halacha, philosophy, and even mathematical
functions.

Informal
Essays and e-list Postings
The Meru Foundation participates in a number of electronic discussion
lists focused on science and consciousness, or science and
spirituality.
From time to time, in process of responding to questions posed on these
lists, Mr. Tenen writes impromptu mini-essays, discussing focused
aspects
of our work in greater depth than is possible in a more general essay.
Alternatives
to Biblical Scholarship e-list posting, December 1999
This essay was first published in the e-list Meta-Reiterations,
in December 1999, as part of a discussion of
the methods and assumptions of current academic
Biblical
scholarship. Specifically, Stan Tenen argues against the assumption that the Hebrew Biblical text was edited
together over centuries. He offers an alternative thesis, and presents examples of meaning that can be uncovered
once the scholarly assumptions of an edited, redacted text are set
aside. This alternative way of examining the Biblical text --
as one whole unit, where each letter and word has meaning in its place
-- is central to the Meru thesis about the origin and
nature
of the Hebrew alphabet and the Biblical text.
When is
the Textual Approach Not Appropriate? e-list posting, April 2000
This essay was first published in the e-list
Meta-Reiterations,
in April 2000, as part of a discussion of the methods and assumptions of current academic Biblical
scholarship.
In this piece, Stan Tenen argues that the Five Books of Moses should be analyzed using different tools than those
used
to study other writings which are considered to be Western sacred texts, because the nature, and structure, of
those
Books differs in a profound and fundamental way.
On Immortality e-list posting, May 2000
The essay below was first published in the e-list
