An individual can only truly understand the concept of noetics through personal experience. In fact noetics is a biological science of the mind; a personal experience of God through revelation and therefore developing conscious awareness of certain realities in an individual. The personal revelation may be a first and unique to an individual (genius) but may also be shared by many individuals as time goes by. The magic of noetics is how the conscious awareness occurs in the mind (brain) through the personal experience of the environment and perceptual cues (man made or natural) experienced by the individual. Ultimately experiencing noetics (knowing) is a privilege because it brings you closer to God through pure, timeless understanding of the truth of all things and this is achieved through a bonding combination of personal experience (which may be led by others), physical environment and the way the individuals brain structures respond. | |||
