Welcome

• Lecture given at the 3220 Gallery in San Francisco, February 1989  
• Stan Tenen's first major public presnetation in which he shows the development of the Light in the Meeting Tent, a three dimensional model generated from the first verse of the Hebrew text of Genesis.  He reviews the process using a base-3 counting system, Arthur M. Young's seven stages of development, quotes from the Zohar and other mystical Jewish texts, and insights from quantum physics,

•  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.   Viewing note: This lecture, which documents important aspects of our research, was recorded under less than ideal lighting conditions, Please accept our apologies for the uneven video quality.

• A presention of the latest results of Stan Tenen's ongoing investigation of the Hebrew alphabet. He demonstrates 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 and expands on his essay, The God of Abraham, as published in Gnosis magazine (1993) and The Noetic Journal (Orinda, 2001), The program also 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.

• Stan Tenen 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."

• 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.

• Stan Tenen reviews the development of the meanings of each of the Hebrew letters and how specific hand gestures correlate with those meanings.  He then demonstrates the gestures, enabling the audience to follow along.
