THE BIOLOGY OF KABBALAH PROJECT
"... that the Judaic tradition contains truths of the Spirit that secular Western culture can ignore only at its own peril."
From the Introduction to Martin Buber's Hasidism and Modern Man:
In an early lecture on "Judaism and Mankind" (c.1910), delivered in the conviction that the renewal of the Western spirit lay in the appropriation of Asian models of mystical unification, Buber identified the essence of Judaism as an effort to "evolve unity out of the division of the world." "This", he argued, "is the primal process within the Jew, the process manifested in their personal lives with all the forcefulness of their Asiatic genius by those great Jews in whom the most profound Judaism came alive: unification of the soul. In those Jews the great idea of Asia became exemplary for the Occident - the Asia of boundlessness and of holy unity, the Asia of Lao-Tse and of Buddha, which is the Asia of Moses and of the Isaiahs, of Jesus and of Paul." While the "Oriental" character of Judaism ceased to be a prominent theme in Buber's more mature writings, he remained convinced throughout his life that the Judaic tradition contained truths of the spirit that secular Western culture could ignore only at its own peril.
Like Buber, we believe that the mystic Jewish tradition contains truths of the spirit that secular Western culture can ignore only at its own peril. We want to apply ancient Jewish wisdom to modern problems.
We believe that many of the concepts of the theory and of the grid can be found in the ancient Jewish Kabbalah, such as, the phi proportion, the idea of seasonal changes in the earth's magnetic field, the role latitude and the magnetic dip angle, the idea of a pulse ley line, and of a re-union ley line.
In terms of seasonality, we already know that the mystic Jewish calendar starts with Aries (March 23 - April 20). We believe that this corresponds to the spring equinox and the alignment of the sun's and earth's magnetic fields.
One fertile area to "re-search" is the connection to water. Water in Hebrew is mayim, which is plural, suggesting that water and the flow of water have multiple spiritual aspects.
We also want to see if the concept of hydrogen bonds that pair opposites is in the Kabbalah. Again, hydrogen bonds are what hold DNA together, and are involved in the folding of proteins - now implicated in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Lou Gehrig's (ALS), Mad Cow, C-J, and prion dis-eases.

Another approach to Hebrew Spirituality involves the Gematria.
From pages 98-99 of Martin Buber's Hasidism and Modern Man:
From time immemorial speech was for the Jewish mystic a rare and awe-inspiring thing. A characteristic theory of letters existed which dealt with them as with the elements of the world and with their intermixture as with the inwardness of reality. The word is an abyss through which the speaker strides. "One should speak words as if the heavens were opened in them. And as if it were not so that you take the word in your mouth, but rather as if you entered into the word." He who knows the secret melody that bears the inner into the outer, who knows the holy song that merges the lonely, shy letters into the singing of the spheres, he is full of the power of God, "and it is as if he created heaven and earth and all worlds anew." He does not find his sphere before him as does the freer of souls, he extends it from the firmament to the silent depths. But he also works toward redemption. "For in each letter are the three: world, soul, and divinity. They rise and join and unite themselves, and they become the word, and the words unite themselves in God in genuine unity, since a man has set his soul in them, and worlds unite themselves and ascend, and the great rapture is born." Thus the acting person prepares the final oneness of all things.

Each of the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet has been assigned a numerical value, so that any word is the sum of its letters. We believe that many truths of the spirit are embedded in this "Arithmetic of Hebrew Spirituality."

One application of the "Biology of Kabbalah" project will be to...
The BRCA DNA Mutation Project: "Searching for the God of BRCA"
From pages 175-176 of Martin Buber's Hasidism and Modern Man:
Why do we say: "Our God and God of our fathers"?
There are two kinds of men who believe in God. The one believes because it is handed down to him by his fathers; and his belief is strong. The other has come to his belief through searching. And this is the difference between them: the superiority of the first lies in the fact that his faith cannot be shattered no matter how many arguments one may bring against it, for his faith is firm because he has taken it over from his fathers; but it has a defect: that his faith is only a human command, learned without meaning and understanding. The superiority of the second lies in the fact that because he has found God through searching, he has arrived at his own faith; but for him too there remains a defect: that it is easy to shake his faith through proof to the contrary. To him who unites both, however, none is superior. Therefore we say: "Our God," because of our searching, and "God of our fathers," for the sake of our tradition.
And thus also it is explained that we say: "God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob," but we do not say: "God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob" -- by this is said: Isaac and Jacob could not rest on Abraham's tradition alone, but themselves sought the divine.
One in forty Ashkenazi (East European) Jews has the the BRCA breast cancer/prostate cancer DNA mutation. The only solution to this genetic problem is to re-move the mutation, which is a spelling error on the DNA.
