The Nordan Symposia is inspired by the capacity demonstrated by persons in every time and place when they serve as host to that unique wonder leading all to examine more deeply what it means to live as a human being. While such questions, along with any ensuing dialogue, may become enshrined in the celebrated literature of any civilization acting then as inspiration to further study, too often these can be found serving the illusions of power wearing 'authoritative' answers more than representing a genuine authority that shows the need for deeper inquiry.
To mitigate this 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 ourselves the name -
[homo sapiens ]?
One result of this Symposia's discovery is the Nordan Corpora that is comprised of a Primary and Secondary Corpus derived from the editorial work conducted within The Daynal Scriptorium [1]. The Scriptorium is 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 recognized to be 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 the 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 varied bodies of written work emerge which may become part of one or perhaps both the Primary and Secondary Corpora.
Welcome as we learn the greatest of lessons - working together!
