So, the inspirational capacities of Adinkra could be related to a conjunction between human and Cosmic Mind, if one were so inclined. Or they could simply be related to the evocative power of Adinkra’s conjunction of line, colour and idea, in harmony with the mental configurations of the person contemplating the Adinkra symbol. 

This harmony of Adinkra’s visual and ideational form with human mental configuration could be seen as shaping the contents of the person’s mind in terms of patterns that are already implicit in that mind, clarifying those patterns and bringing them to the foreground of the mind.

Or could the process be understood as expressive of both human centred and nonhuman activity? Perhaps the human is not simply merely human but also participates in that which is not human or completely human?

How is one to examine how true or false this notion is?
