Cosmos Café: Less Time, More Space, & Hebrew Letter Gestures
Channel: Cosmos Co-op
Date: 24/01/2018

This talk is a follow-up to the Cosmos Café of 1/9/2018 (ep. 6), “Space, Time, and the Hebrew Alphabet,” which featured a presentation by Ed Mahood on Stan Tenen and the Meru Foundation’s research into the underlying structure and deeper meaning of the Hebrew alphabet, by looking at the first verse of the Book of Genesis. In this talk, we noodle the potential implications of the Meru findings, relating them to genetic science, linguistics, mysticism, and cultural evolution, including a connection to the recent film Arrival, directed by Denis Villeneuve and written by Eric Heisserer.

Questions:

* What is the relationship, for you, of the Book of Genesis (given its multi-dimensionality we’re discussing here) and the Ever-Present Origin? Do you believe that Origin is coded in the various ways we find in Genesis?

* What is the relationship between encoding, shape, and information? And, is there anything you believe to be inherently ethical about shapes or numbers?

* How does the beginning of the Gospel of John ("In the beginning was the Word… ") in the New Testament relate to the geometry of the Old Testament origin story we are exploring?
