Changes

The [[Nordan Symposia]] is inspired by the human capacity demonstrated well in one known as [[Nordan]], the [[Kenite]] living in the 5th millennia B.C.E.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Era] who, with his "band of earnest students"[http://mercy.urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/mfs/usr/local/www/data/papers?link=http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper93.html&file=/usr/local/www/data/papers/paper93.html&line=60#mfs] 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.

"To the rank and file of his followers he made no effort to present teaching beyond the fact of the rulership of the [[Most Highs]] of [[Edentia]]--Gods of [[Urantia]]. But to some, [[Melchizedek]] taught advanced truth, embracing the conduct and organization of the local universe, while to his brilliant disciple Nordan the Kenite and his band of earnest students he taught the truths of the [[superuniverse]] and even of [[Havona]]."[http://www.urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/webglimpse/usr/local/www/data/papers?query=nordan&submit=Submit]

Likewise, this [[Symposia]] is dedicated to advancing the study of [[humanity]][http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanities] 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.

Likewise, this [[Symposia]] is dedicated to advancing the study of [[humanity]][http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanities] co-evolving with the discovery of our indwelling [[divinity]]. Such an inquiry celebrates the limitless range of [[fact]], [[meaning]], and [[value]] available within us whose exploration is the joy of every child of God.  

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]] [http://www.nordan.daynal.org/forum/] 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]].
