Deeper truths -- Is the 1:st book of the Torah, the Genesis = The Beginning, a mathematical code for our physical universe?
Sat, May 30, 2009 - 6:06 AMStan Tenen: "This isn't a jealous God of a petty people who says, 'My God is bigger and better than your God because it's my God and it's the one God because I say so'. That's not what we are saying here. I'm saying that we are starting with a definition of singularity and wholeness. Definitions are not the basis of prejudice. It's a postulate. Putting it down to see how good it is. Does it give us anything? And if we look for the means of spanning between the one and the many, we have a path that includes everything in the universe. Now, modern physics attempts a bottom-up reconstruction. To take all the diversity we find, all the forces in the world, and pump the energy up until things merge together and eventually we can extrapolate and find the Big Bang.
The one, from the many.
And I'm saying we can do this abstractly. We can do this topologically, in principle. Without any electron microscopes, and cyclotrons and super computers. We can start top-down by definitions. Start with singularity, break it up by minimal first distinction, and end up with all there is. And it's my guess, and this is still a guess, that one way or another, in an extraordinary elegant way, perhaps the most elegant possible, that's what the sequence of letters in the Hebrew Bible really represents."

"The Hebrew Alphabet, Genesis, and Kabbalah: What is The Meru Project? Using the objective tools of science, Stan Tenen has studied the mathematical structure underlying the sequence of letters in the Hebrew text of Genesis. His research has shown that the geometric patterns fundamental to modern physics 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 were known to traditional Kabbalists and sages. Studying these patterns leads 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.
The Meru Project has discovered that the sequence of letters in the Hebrew text of Genesis reveals a simple yet extraordinary and unexpected series of geometric models whose intrinsic meaning describes processes inherent in fields as diverse as embryology, modern physics, and consciousness studies. 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. The benefits of using this extraordinary and uniquely elegant model range from personal and spiritual growth to the expansion of scientific knowledge.
Meru Foundation is a non-profit organization formed to support this research. For more information, go to www.meru.org/ . To order Meru lectures by Stan Tenen on DVD, go to www.meetingtent.com/ "

Fundamentalism as a time-container that has now served it's purpose
I posted about this at leiferlingsson.wordpress.com/ as well ( Direct link: leiferlingsson.wordpress.com/200...ths/ ). As I had just 'debunked' the Torah as read in a fundamentalist sense in my previous blogging there, I ended the new blogging there with this comment:
Note that if Stan Tenen is right about the Talmud as an encoding of ancient truth, and about the Jewish religion as ['just'] the container for this inner truth, this in no way contradicts my earlier blogging leiferlingsson.wordpress.com/200...ing/ Something seismic happening. Though it does give credit to the fundamentalism as a time-container that has now served it's purpose, and can be pensioned off with a gold a medal for long and faithful service, or something. |

The theme of creating a religion as a Time-Container for knowledge recurs in Isaac Asimov's "Foundation Series"
In it, the scientist Hari Seldon using mathematics foresees the fall of the Old Empire, and a dark age lasting thirty thousand years before the arrival of the Second Empire (The Domain? (Airl, Matilda O'Donnell MacElroy, Lawrence R. Spencer)). To shorten the period of barbarism, he creates special designed religions as Time-Containers for all human knowledge, on opposite ends of the galaxy.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundation_series QUOTE: The Foundation Series is an epic science fiction series by Isaac Asimov which covers a span of about 500 years. It consists of seven volumes that are closely linked to each other, although they can be read separately. The term "Foundation Series" is often used more generally to include the Robot Series and Empire Series, which are set in the same fictional universe, but in earlier time periods. In total, there are fifteen novels and dozens of short stories written by Asimov, and six novels written by other authors after his death, expanding the time spanned by more than twenty thousand years. The series is highly acclaimed, winning the one-time Hugo Award for "Best All-Time Series" in 1966[1]. The premise of the series is that mathematician Hari Seldon spent his life developing a branch of mathematics known as psychohistory, a concept devised by Asimov and his editor John W. Campbell. Using the law of mass action, it can predict the future, but only on a large scale; it is error-prone on a small scale. It works on the principle that the behaviour of a mass of people is predictable if the quantity of this mass is very large (equal to the population of the galaxy which has a population of around a quadrillion). The larger the mass, the more predictable is the future. Using these techniques, Seldon foresees the fall of the Galactic Empire, which encompasses the entire Milky Way, and a dark age lasting thirty thousand years before a second great empire arises. To shorten the period of barbarism, he creates two Foundations, small, secluded havens of all human knowledge, on opposite ends of the galaxy. The focus of the trilogy is on the Foundation of the planet Terminus. The people living there are working on an all-encompassing Encyclopedia, and are unaware of Seldon's real intentions (for if they were, the variables would become too uncontrolled). The Encyclopedia serves to preserve knowledge of the physical sciences after the collapse. The Foundation's location is chosen so that it acts as the focal point for the next empire in another thousand years (rather than the projected thirty thousand). |

PS: I read the series in the 1970:s and 1980:s, so I didn't get the religion as a Time-Container for knowledge theme from Wikipedia but rather from memory of the plot from my own reading. Let's just say that it made a lasting impression. :)
