Noetic Science and it's Importance
“The presence of divinity became almost palpable, and I knew that life in the universe was not just an accident based on random processes.The knowledge came to me directly" Edgar Mitchell
So what exactly is Noetic, or this type of Science? Why is it important?
The term was first coined in 1973 when the Institute of Noetic Science was founded by Apollo 14 Astronaut Edgar Mitchell and investor Paul N Temple.
Its the study of Mind and Intuition and its relationship with Divine Intelligence.
Noetic Science helps to open up and explore the perfection of the Universe.
As with all branches of Metaphysics, These Sciences gives us more tools to find out who we are, how we can grow Spiritually and learn to use the Laws that God gave us.
no•et•ic: From the Greek noēsis / noētikos, Meaning pertaining to the mind.
Originating in or apprehended by reason.
Science: A branch of knowledge or study dealing with a body of facts or truths systematically arranged and showing the operation of general laws.
Systematic knowledge of the physical and material world gained through observation and experimentation.
no•et•ic sci•ences: A multidisciplinary field that brings objective scientific tools and techniques together
with subjective inner knowing to study the full range of human experiences.
Its also the study of Objective and Subjective, Outer and Inner, These terms are understood as co-equal aspects of the miracle of being.
SUBJECTIVE: The dictionary defines subjective as "the impression which an object makes on the mind." The external object is a precept while the impression is a concept. The concept, or idea, would be subjective; for it would be the impression which the mind receives.
OBJECTIVE: Means the object, the external, the effect.
In the end this brings us to Consciousness and the part it plays in our existences. What is our mind?
It is That Power of Consciousness which knows Itself.
That which is conscious of Its Own Being.
"The Spirit is the power Which knows Itself." The Self-Knowing God. The Intelligence in the Universe which reveals Itself in all of Its Creation.
If God were not Self-Conscious, then man could not be Self-Conscious.
It is impossible for us to conceive of such a Universal Consciousness. We touch It only in spots, but the evidence of this Conscious Mind is strewn throughout all time and space; and the eternal activity.

Metaphysics is a wide field covering many different topics. At the end of the day, the reason we study topics like this one or Spiritual Science is to answer the question
Why am I Here, Why do I Exist.
Well that’s what I have been studying for 25yrs.
Metaphysics-For-Better-Living.com is all about these topics and how understanding the:
Universal Laws and how God gave us A Perfect and Logical way to use them.
"The self is fundamentally an illusion arising as a reflection of the soul in matter,
much as a clear lake at midnight reflects the moon."
