Noetic comes from the Greek word noēsis/noētikos, meaning inner wisdom, direct knowing, intuition, or implicit understanding. Noetic refers to ways of knowing beyond our traditional five senses. Google.
Like the word ‘mystic’ this word used to be unuttered in academia and science. But such times have been changing in academia and the science worlds since the 70’s. Now we find both subjects emerging into the world’s mainstream though it will be some time before that happens completely.
My mystic perspective on noeticism is sixfold:
- Noeticism has been around before time, certainly before the ancient Greeks. It pervades, is infused in all known and as yet unknown creation, (including humans whether they know it or like it or not).
- Its true existence only comes to light as a side effect of the direct experience of a Reality, (MER), that rules everything and creates mystics out of humans.
- As all real knowledge, especially of existence, can only be acquired by full experience of Reality, mysticism is for now the only gateway Reality provides to reveal its all pervading singular existence outside humanity.
- Reality creates everything. It exists outside anything merely human, ie., is not a product of the human brain.
- Mysticism/Noeticism is a process of Reality’s evolution.
- There are no failures.
All Is Well.
Mystical Experiences of Reality 
I have long been mulling over Kant’s description of Aesthetic Knowledge alongside my own experiences of learning in non-rational ways. One might think of muscle memory, or the kind of innate understanding one gains through long practice of a skill like piano. There are things that we “learn” in and through our bodily interactions with the world, as well as the body of unconscious perceptions that we build up through our lived experiences. I think that it might be found that those who are tuned into a noetic sort of mystic understanding are those who have travelled widely, engaged with a variety of cultures, practiced a skill deeply and generally primed themselves for alternate forms of “knowledge” about their world. So much of what we focus on and praise is the sort of knowledge that can be passed on through language. In reality, that sliver of understanding is both tiny in comparison to the whole of reality, and it is also often not passed on quite so well as we would like to imagine. Thanks for this! All is well indeed.
