As a perspective for MYTHSEEKER, we believe that the Meru Project has discovered fundamental and important processes that shape our inner and outer worlds of experience. The latter processes are related to natural psychological realities within myth. Starting with encoded structures of sacred meaning expressed within the Hebrew alphabet, Meru Project discoveries generalize to other "sacred" languages as well - including Arabic, Archaic Greek, and probably Sanskrit and some other ancient languages. We believe that Pharaonic Egyptian -- on the level of participating with archetypal levels - should be included as well.

In its own statement, the Meru Project is based on 25 years of research by Stan Tenen into the origin and nature of the Hebrew alphabet, and the mathematical structure underlying the sequence of letters of the Hebrew text of Genesis. The Project is sponsored by the Meru Foundation, registered California 501(c)(3) private nonprofit research and educational corporation founded in 1983.

From the Introductory Text:

"The Meru Project has discovered an extraordinary and unexpected geometric metaphor in the letter-sequence of the Hebrew text of Genesis that underlies and is held in common by the spiritual traditions of the ancient world. This metaphor models embryonic growth and self-organization. It applies to all whole systems, including those as seemingly diverse as meditational practices and the mathematics fundamental to physics and cosmology...Meru Project findings demonstrate that the relationship between physical theory and consciousness, expressed in explicit geometric metaphor, was understood and developed several thousand years ago."
