  Noetic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In philosophy and religion, the word noetic, from the Greek νοῦς (nous) is usually translated as "mind", "understanding", "intellect", or "reason".
Walter J. Ong and James A. Berlin used the term noetic to describe a "noetic economy", "noetic processes" and "noetic field." The Institute of Noetic Sciences defines noetic as, roughly, 'relating to consciousness or intuition'.
Mystical, cosmic and holistic connotations are why the New Age movement has embraced the term noetic and used it to refer to the exploration of individual or cosmic consciousness.

 Noetic Mastery - Keys to Unlocking Our Holiness
Noetic comes from the Greek nous, which is the wind of spirit that emerges from the void as the first emanating spirit of creation.
Noetic mastery intrinsically requires that our minds act from the center of our essence and dissolve any tendency to be against the essence of others.
In this noetic universe of energy, consider that healing and understanding are a location where souls meet and in which impersonal intimacy reclaims its forgotten selves until all exists in a sea of holiness.

 Institute of Noetic Sciences page
Perhaps it is somewhat inaccurate to speak of it as though it were totally new; it might be better to refer to a noetic emphasis in the human sciences.
Because the noetic sciences are partially a process of rediscovery it is possible to anticipate what some of the essential characteristics will be.
A noetic science &emdash; a science of consciousness and the world of inner experience &emdash; is the most promising contemporary framework within which to carry on that fundamental moral inquiry which stable human societies have always had to place at the center of their concerns.

 Noetic Science
The result was the development of noetics, or the science of the psionic mind.
Awareness of psi inevitably led to the discovery of an entire subquantum realm of corresponding fundamental particles, dubbed "psions." Joining photons, gravitons, leptons and quarks, these psions proved to be the missing pieces of an elegant foundation for the universe.
Noetics also faces the challenge of understanding the biotech devices that psions use.

 Pauline Tiben, Noetic Science
From the first page of their magazine, I learned that Apollo astronaut Captain Edgar Mitchell founded the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) in 1973, to explore the inner cosmos of the mind with the same level of rigor and commitment that scientists had applied to understanding the physical universe.
Noetic sciences further the explorations of conventional science by rigorous inquiry into aspects of reality – such as mind, consciousness, spirit – that go beyond physical phenomena.
In the article about ‘What are Noetic Sciences?’ I was struck by the following formulation: “For the first time in history we are beginning to create a growing, progressively funded body of established experience about humanity’s inner life – and particularly about the perennial wisdom of the great religious traditions and gnostic groups.

 Prayer, noetic studies feasible; results indicate benefit to heart patients
Noetic interventions are defined as "a healing influence performed without the use of a drug, device or surgical procedure," said the researchers.
Patients who received noetic therapies showed a 25 to 30 percent reduction in adverse outcomes (such as death, heart failure, post-procedural ischemia, repeat angioplasty or heart attack) than those without such therapies, according to the researchers.
"These noetic interventions help a patient achieve a state of calm equilibrium, or homeostasis, which puts them in a better state to help in their own recovery process," said Jon Seskevich, a Duke nurse clinician, who along with Crater, designed the non-prayer interventional therapies.

 IONS - About: What is "Noetic"?
Noetic sciences are explorations into the nature and potentials of consciousness using multiple ways of knowing—including intuition, feeling, reason, and the senses.
Noetic sciences explore the "inner cosmos" of the mind (consciousness, soul, spirit) and how it relates to the "outer cosmos" of the physical world.
These are the complementary elements of a "noetic science." All three perspectives value and employ multiple ways of knowing—including intuition, reason, and the senses in varying combinations.

 Noetic Form
One noetic form in the Universal Mind is the human being, the soul of the human being.
Now that soul, that noetic form of soul, one of the universal concepts that truly exists, is different from all other concepts in the sense that it has the capacity to think and conceptualize and create its reality and determine its own perception of things.
Noetic forms that were initially inseparable components of an infinite pattern, constituting the oneness of Being, end up in the mind as separate objects, composing a dismembered world.

 Toward a field theory of journalism
Again, a noetic field is an epistemological system defining: 1) what can and cannot be known, 2) the nature of the knower, 3) the nature of the relationships among the knower, the known, and the audience, and 4) the nature of language.
It is this characteristic of the noetic field that creates (and is created by) the fairness bias--one the the structural biases I mentioned earlier..
The noetic shifts, and, therefore, changes in journalism and rhetoric education, appear to occur to varying degrees during the "secular crisis" and "spiritual awakening" parts of the cycle.

 Duke Magazine-Whole-Person Health Care-Sep/Oct 2002
Noetic therapies, what the National Institutes of Health call "frontier medicine," are widely practiced medical therapeutics for which there are no plausible explanations, including spiritual- or prayer-based practices, says cardiologist Mitch Krucoff.
Patients receiving noetic therapies including off-site prayer in addition to their standard treatment had 30 percent fewer complications overall; those who were treated with the double-blinded, off-site prayers from eight prayer groups around the world had 50 percent fewer minor complications and 100 percent fewer major complications.
Krucoff stresses, however, that while data consistently suggested that noetic therapies are beneficial, the pilot study was too small to be statistically definitive, and may not be generalizable to other health-care settings.

 Hyponoetics - Essay: Noetic Patterns of Exonoesis
Noetic patterns manifest themselves in our beliefs, interests, in what we like and do not like, in our personality, our character, etc. Other, more subconscious patterns can be found in our behavior (neurotic or pathological) and in the archetypes of our collective unconscious.
However, a single noetic pattern can be found in a multitude of other individual entities as part of their set of patterns.
Noetic patterns exist in two basic modes: a) persistent noetic patterns that don't change basically over a long period of time and b) transient noetic patterns that change frequently or become part of a coherent set of noetic patterns or are unlinked from a coherent set of patterns.

 Foundations of Noetic Medicine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Noetic medicine refers to the study and practice of the mental aspects of healing.
The term noetic is derived from the Greek noun, Nous, meaning mind.
The scope of noetic medicine is much broader than the study of clinical techniques, for it is a field which faces its own unification problem.

 How Sin Affects Scholarship
This essay intends (1) to examine two influential models of the noetic effects of sin, and (2) to propose a new model which purports to be the most adequate of the present alternatives, though not the final word on the subject.
In section IV a new model is proposed which extends beyond previous views by relating the noetic effects of sin to the complex interactions between the object(s) of study and the person(s) engaging in the study.
Because the present study is focused solely on the noetic effects of sin, it may convey the impression that all of the errors and limitations of human thinking may be ascribed specifically to sin.

 The Lazy Logician: Noetic Glue: Dead in the Water?
My previous post dealt with the concept of 'noetic glue.' An interesting comment on the topic was written by Andy, and he linked a slightly longer version of the comment to his blog, Under The Sun.
I think it is evident that this is false because noetic glue and the idea of noetic glue are two different things.
Noetic glue can hold a belief in noetic glue or a concept of noetic glue in place without resorting to question begging.

 The Noetic Absolute
The Noetic Absolute is Infinite Being and Truth-Consciousness; the First Emanantion, the Logos of the Absolute; the Shiva tattwa of Kashmir Shaivism (Shiva and Shakti are polarised but still in total unity and identity), the Supermind of Sri Aurobindo.
The Noetic Absolute is the Creative Cosmic Godhead, is the Infinite in Its mode of Self-Creation of the Cosmos and finite existence.
In the Noetic Absolute there is a Becoming, a Manifestation, but it cannot be a Manifestation caused by something else, for the Noetic Absolute is still by Its own nature infinite and uncreated, inseperable in essence from the Unmanifest Absolute of which it is the eternal Self-Becoming Self-Expression.

 Review of the book Noetic Magic
But Wick demonstrates that reason and magic are not exactly opposing categories, and in the second part of his book he creates a number of links between Noetic Magic and differing philosophical and spiritual views of consciousness.
Through his revealing book, "Noetic Magic", we discover that we have but to throw off the chains of the supernatural and embrace the power of will and imagination.
Dr. Wick's most erudite and insightful examination of the Western magical tradition from its originator, Pythagoras, through G.I. Gurdjieff and Carlos Castaneda, leads us to the certain knowledge that magic's secrecy and elitism must be discarded if humanity as a whole is to attain the transformation of consciousness made possible by emerging cosmological paradigms.

When I say that journalism is an under-theorized practice (as I have many times), one of the things I mean to suggest is that most journalists practice their profession without understanding their role in the noetic field.

 Studies in Occultism by H. Blavatsky "Psychic and Noetic Action"
The actual fact of man's psychic (we say manasic or noetic) individuality is a sufficient warrant against the assumption; for in the case of this conclusion being correct, or being indeed, as the author expresses it, the collective hallucination of the whole mankind throughout the ages, there would be an end also to psychic individuality.
The higher noetic character of the Mind-Principle is entirely ignored, and even rejected, as a "superstition" by both physiologists and psychologists.
From the first proceeds all the noetic element, from the second, the psychic, i.e., "terrestrial wisdom" at best, as it is influenced by all the chaotic stimuli of the human or rather animal passions of the living body.
