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.
