− | 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 far transcended the time in which they lived. Likewise, this [[Symposia]] is dedicated to advance the study of [[humanity]][http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanities] indivisible from our indwelling[[divinity]]. Such inquiry celebrate the limitless range of fact, meaning, and value before and within us whose exploration is the joy of every child of God.

− | One material counterpart of our shared discovery in this [[Symposia]] is the [[corpora]], consisting of the [[Forum]][http://www.revisionscontrol.com/forum/], a [[Primary Corpus]], and a [[Secondary Corpus]]. The Forum is an arena where discussions may ensue, and for this purpose, an electronic platform is provided as a virtual counterpart to our respective dialogues transpiring 'on the ground'. The Primary Corpus is composed of work attributed to [[divine]] sources while the Secondary Corpus is comprised of work attributed to [[human]] sources.
| + | The '''Nordan Symposia''' is inspired by the human capacity seen well in one known as [[Nordan]], the [[Kenite]] that lived in the 5th millennia B.C.E.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Era], who, with his "band of earnest students" residing at [[Salem]] under the tutelage of [[Machiventa]] [[Melchizedek]], posed such brilliant questions as to earn from [[Machiventa]] an expanded revelation of [[truth]] that far transcended the [[time]] in which they lived. ([[93:3|93:3.4]]) Likewise, this [[Symposia]] is dedicated to advancing the study of [[humanity]] as one evolving proportionate to the discovery of our indwelling [[divinity]]. Such an inquiry celebrates the limitless range of [[fact]], [[meaning]], and [[value]] around and within us whose ongoing exploration is the joy of every [[child of God]]. |

− | Often, finite distinctions between human and divine are arbitrary to some degree given the observation and 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 this 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, and inevitably, the co-creation of work whose elements may be found in the Primary and Secondary Corpora.
| + | This work eschews presumptions upon [[authority]] even as its participants seek to identify and incorporate what are found to be the most helpful resources freely available throughout this world that is slowly becoming a real [[cosmopolis]]. Through such means as 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 are we" to have taken upon ourselves the name - ''[[Human|homo sapiens]]''- the [[wise]] and knowing one? |

− | [[Welcome]]! | + | While the [[Primary Corpus]] contains work attributed to [[divine]] sources with the [[Secondary Corpus]] featuring work of [[human]] origin, [[finite]] distinctions between the [[human]] and [[divine]] can be somewhat [[arbitrary]] given the limited experience with 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. From such [[dialogue]], varied bodies of work emerge that may become part of one or both the Primary and Secondary Corpora. |
