The Nordan Symposia is inspired by the human capacity demonstrated so well in Nordan, the Kenite who lived in the 5th millennia B.C.E.[1] and with his "band of earnest students"[2] residing at Salem under the tutelage of Melchizedek, posed such brilliant questions as to earn an expanded revelation of truth that transcended the time in which they lived.
Likewise, this Symposia is dedicated to advancing the study of humanity[3] that is inseparable from the discovery of our indwelling divinity. Such an inquiry celebrates the limitless range of fact, meaning, and value available to us whose exploration is the joy of everyone regardless of religion, race, gender, nationality, or political affiliation.
One material result of our shared discovery in this Symposia is the Nordan Corpora. This is composed by a Primary and Secondary Corpus derived from the work conducted within The Daynal Scriptorium [4] that is a workspace serving as a virtual counterpart to the dialogue transpiring beyond any observable range as well as the more familiar ways of everyday 'matter of fact'. Otherwise, the Primary Corpus contains work attributed to divine sources while the Secondary Corpus consists of work attributed to human sources.
Of course, finite distinctions between the human and divine are somewhat arbitrary given the 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 the evolving 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. No doubt, there will ensue the collaborative work whose elements may someday be found in either the Primary or Secondary Corpora.
