Learn about Meru
Foundation's Breakthrough Research on the Hebrew Alphabet through our
DVD Lecture Series and Help Support our Research
Using the objective tools of science, Meru Foundation research has shown that the geometric patterns fundamental to modern physics have existed and were available to us long before physics per se was considered an independent science. These patterns are intrinsic to the Hebrew letter-text of Genesis, and when studied, lead to a deep understanding of the framework of our own existence and ways to access our potential to improve ourselves and the world around us. Meru research demonstrates that the Hebrew alphabet, in its early rabbinic form, is at its core a universal language of gestures. People from all cultures, even those who are blind from birth, and children before they speak, make spontaneous use of this natural language. The gestures of the Hebrew alphabet express universal needs and choices.

"...Using
3-dimensional
hand-held
models,
quotes from the Zohar and other
mystical Jewish texts, and insights from quantum physics, Tenen
takes
us from his original 1968 discovery that the first letters of Genesis,
when placed in a Cartesian coordinate system based on a base-3 counting
system, reveal startling symmetries, to his discovery that various
shadows cast by a stylized candle flame produce startlingly accurate
portrayals of all of the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Tenen
goes on
to explain what these patterns might mean and how they might offer us a
guide to understanding and entering into transcendent states of
consciousness."
DVD 2: A MATRIX OF MEANING FOR SACRED ALPHABETS Lecture given at Arthur
Young's Institute for the Study of Consciousness, Berkeley, CA, January
1991
Meru Foundation
research proposes that the Hebrew, Greek, and Arabic letters are
generated by an idealized human hand, the symbol of our self-awareness
and the self-referential processes of all life.
After a brief
review, this lecture presents a new logical matrix which gives meaning
to each letter in Hebrew and English, and gives examples of how these
letter meanings can be used to decipher word roots. Mr. Tenen suggests
implications of this natural language system for our spiritual
traditions, for visual, tactile, and dance meditation, and for the
study of self-organizing systems including those of biology, language,
physics, and cosmology.

DVD 3: THE ALPHABET IN OUR HANDS, Part 1: The God of Abraham, A
Mathematician's View
Lecture given at Arthur Young's Institute for the Study of
Consciousness, Berkeley, CA, November 1992
From the Colloquia Schedule, 1992-1993:
"Can there be real
meaning - beyond pride and apologia - when a religious tradition claims
discovery of the one true God? If it is not myth and metaphor, is there
a modern sense in which a spiritual text could be Truth, and if this is
so, how could so audacious a claim be proven?
"Stan Tenen of the
Meru Foundation will present the latest results of his ongoing
investigation of the Hebrew alphabet. He will demonstrate a sequence of
hand gestures of an idealized hand that defines the shapes of the
letters and confirms their natural and universal meaning. He then
discusses the philosophical, spiritual, and practical implications of
these findings."
This
presentation includes and expands on Stan Tenen's essay, The God
of Abraham, as published in Gnosis magazine (1993)
and The Noetic Journal (Orinda, 2001), and it includes
portions of The Music of Genesis computer generated
directly from the sequence of letters at the beginning of the Hebrew
text of Genesis by Stephen James Taylor and Stan Tenen.
DVD 4: THE ALPHABET IN OUR HANDS, Part 2: The Alphabet, Kabbalah
and Mythology
Lecture given at Arthur Young's Institute for the Study of
Consciousness, Berkeley, CA, November 1992
From the Colloquia
Schedule, 1992-1993:
"Stan Tenen,
Director of Research for the MERU Foundation, demonstrates how the
toroidal process represents a fundamental unity both in physics and
personal consciousness, how it can be understood to underlie a wide
range of traditional teachings, and how it leads to an elegant, natural
and universal alphabet. He demonstrates his discovery of the hand
gestures that generate the Hebrew alphabet, and discusses the physical,
philosophical, and personal implications of the discovery."
This DVD expands on The Alphabet in Our Hands, Part 1 (1992) and answers questions
from this presentation. It includes discussion of First Hand:
Canaanite and Hebrew - How the Names and Shapes of the Hebrew Letters
Were Determined, by Stan Tenen published in Vol. 2, No. 4 of the
MERU Foundation Newsletter, TORUS.
DVD 5: SQUARING THE CIRCLE: The One and the Many;
Mind and World
Lecture given at the 3220 Gallery in San Francisco, March 1999
Scholars are not
certain how the riddle of squaring the circle – with only a
straight edge and a compass – was understood in the ancient world. Most
believe Greek mathematicians did not know that the problem is not
possible to solve exactly. Other scholars believe that squaring the
circle was a way of teaching about philosophical concepts based on
geometric thinking. Tenen demonstrates that the Hebrew alphabet
solves the riddle.
Posing
the
riddle
of
squaring
the
circle
resolves the riddle of the Bible’s
lost universal language.
Squaring the
circle expresses the transcendental relationship between radius
and circumference. It also represents the relationship between the ONE
and
the
MANY; and between the MIND and the WORLD.
In spiritual
metaphor, the Infinite EXTENT of the ONE-Lord in
consciousness IS the Infinite EXPANSE of the WHOLE-God
in
the
world.
