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] who, 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 a supreme joy for 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 now composed of a Primary and Secondary Corpus derived from the work conducted within The Daynal Scriptorium [4]. The Scriptorium is a workspace serving here as a virtual counterpart to the dialogue transpiring beyond the 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 consists of work attributed to human sources.
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 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. Through such dialogue, a collaborative body of work emerges that may be found in either one or both the Primary and Secondary Corpora.
