The identification of geometric metaphors as suggested by Meru research enables us to unify and transcend our many current cultural, political, and geographical limitations. Meru’s models are snapshots of a natural ongoing process of embryonic growth. By applying these models at many levels, we can view the “big picture” of how our universe and our planet work as whole systems, where each element shares and interacts simultaneously, for the benefit of all.
