The '''Nordan Symposia''' is inspired by the capacity demonstrated by persons in every [[time]] and place when they host the [[wonder]] leading them to inquire more deeply into the [[nature]] of being [[human]]. While such questions, along with their ensuing [[dialogues]], may become enshrined in the celebrated literature of any civilization acting then as inspiration to further inquiry, too often these can be found serving the illusions of [[power]] wearing '[[authoritative]]' answers more than a genuine [[authority]] showing the need for deeper inquiry. These facades of certainty stand in contrast to what remains an uncertain but intriguing process of discovery that underscores the value of a course of learning exceeding the limits of any [[space]].

To mitigate the inevitable tendency implicit in [[cultural formation]], the [[Nordan]] Symposia eschews presumptions upon authority even as its participants seek to identify, incorporate, and integrate what are found to be the most helpful resources freely available throughout this world that is slowly becoming a real [[cosmopolis]]. Through the means of this [[Open Source]] platform, it is hoped that the common threads of inquiry woven through every field of human endeavor might become more vivid and seen as they are in truth, meaningfully related to the enduring question of "who am I" or "who are we" to have taken upon ouselves the name - ''homo sapiens''?

One result of discovery in the course of this [[Symposia]] is the '''''[[Nordan Corpora]]''''' that is comprised of a Primary and Secondary [[Corpus]] derived from the editorial work conducted within ''[[The Daynal Scriptorium]]'' [http://www.nordan.daynal.org/forum/]. The [[Scriptorium]] being a workspace serving as a virtual counterpart to the [[dialogue]] transpiring beyond any observable range as well as the more familiar methods of everyday 'matter of fact'. Otherwise, the [[Primary Corpus]] contains work attributed to [[divine]] sources while the [[Secondary Corpus]] features work of [[human]] origin.

Of course, [[finite]] distinctions between the [[human]] and [[divine]] can be somewhat [[arbitrary]] given our limited experience of the [[divine]] living within [[humanity]] and the [[human]] dwelling within the Source of all that is [[divine]]. Indeed, it is the expanding [[consciousness]] of an evolving and indivisible union of [[humanity]] and [[divinity]] that is the primary objective of this endeavor knowing that as we engage in sincere and sustained [[inquiry]], an expanded [[revelation]] of [[truth]] unfolds. It is from such [[dialogue]] that the varied bodies of written work emerge that may be found in either one or both the Primary and Secondary [[Corpora]].
