                                                                       Can they Converge? 

                                                            Questions from Nimi Wariboko

                                             A Compilation of Quotations by Oluwatoyin Vincent Adepoju

                                                                                  from

                           Nimi Wariboko's The Depth and Destiny of Work: An African Theological Interpretation

                                                                                               

                                                                                 

                              The Hindu Sri Yantra, a sublime symbol of human, cosmic and divine dynamism and unity

Is it possible for human creativity to participate in divine creativity, contributing to human well being and facilitating personal meaning, enjoyment, and satisfaction for the individual?

Is ultimate reality knowable without human expression?  

 

How may we penetrate through the organizational and collaborative use of time, talents, and treasures for the production, reproduction, and control of life and the distribution of the rewards thereof that is work into that luminous darkness, the brilliant dark of the ultimate?

 

Can work be actualized as the unfurling of humanity towards a whole, the groundless ground of human existence, an ultimate reality, a divine creativity in which all selves are inextricably connected?

Quotations drawn between pages X and  4 and adapted to indicate a questioning rather than the assertive tone of the original with various lines from different sections brought together  for continuity.

Can work be actualized as the unfurling of humanity towards a whole, the groundless ground of human existence, an ultimate reality, a divine creativity in which all selves are inextricably connected?

A participatory depth in which each form of human creativity represents a face of the sacred? 

A means of linking immanence, divine presence in the world, and transcendence, the source of existence beyond space and time?

How can we enable work as creativity  that sees connections and relatedness between apparently disassociated matters, ideas or phenomena,  making visible the tightly interwoven threads of the cosmic tapestry?

The worker building their own universe of perception and relations correlating self, product and community as the potter connects clay, water, human expertise and spirit and heat to create the pot.
