Noetics

It is a fascinating thing: the world is full of information, but we are blind and deaf to most of it until we become interested in an issue. From that point on, most people, books, events that come into our life will be blatantly connected to that matter.

Take Noetics, which I did not know existed as a name, but which I have been interested in for a long time. It has been a long time indeed that I have followed the teachings of how the mind influences the world; or how the mind can cure the body; how the old saying "mind over matter" is actually true... but often considered impossible to prove. I didn't know Noetics, the scientific experimentation of this field, was active - has been active for years!!

So, how did I come to find out? Well, that's the whole matter at heart: connections of meaning and meaningful connections in our reality. To cut it short, I came across it on a novel (Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol). I got this novel from my mother's bookcase, on a "spur of the moment" choice before leaving for the airport. I did not want to keep on reading the book I had with me, as I was thinking a lot about energy, learning, and the power of the mind. And I was thinking about it from having met, in the last few months but particularly last week, people actively involved in that field.

Which is what I have meant to do for a long time. Although I just keep thinking about doing so. And I write about it all, here. So, in a way, I have brought it to me: of all the information that surounds me, I become aware only of that which is relevant to my interest. That is the information I need, and thus I atract it from among all the possible bits of perception I am not aware of processing. They say we go through thousands of thoughts daily, yet are conscious of only a percentage of all that mass. Imagine how much we would learn, we would experience, we would create, if we learned to be alert to all those "lost" thoughts!

Here is a call for the conscious generation of thoughts. The conscious generation of the world.
