Noetic: From the Greek noēsis / noētikos, meaning inner wisdom, direct knowing, or subjective understanding. “Noetic” comes from the Greek word nous, which means “intuitive mind” or “inner knowing.”
I am always fond of the discovery of new ways to express the practice of the martial arts. In the "fringe-ology" book this term took flight and brought another means of describing, metaphors, the practice and balance of martial systems, i.e. the physical and the spiritual.
Noetic refers to capabilities that help me to understand the mind and its inner workings so I may better understand and apply both knowledge and understanding to better myself and those I associate with in life.
To practice the noetic method is to enter into a state of insight, insight into the depths and breadth of the self seeking truth, to illuminate, to experience revelations that are significant and of importance.
In our practice and through the more esoteric teachings of the classic traditions of Asian martial systems we delve into areas of the unconscious hoping for a transformative effect. Its practice will help us achieve other aspects of the martial arts such as knowing our self to include how we perceive and act on "gut feelings, intuition, instinct and hunches."
The way of knowing all this is what the noetic method accomplishes, "the way of knowing." We develop by our "one" effort that comprises its own duality to achieve inner wisdom, enlightenment and direct knowing of subjective understanding. It is clarity, seeing that which resides in the mirror or the understanding of the reflection of the still pond.
My personal "Interpretive" Lens!
"One thing has always been true: That book ... or ... that person who can give me an idea or a new slant on an old idea is my friend." - Louis L'Amour
"Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider..." - Francis Bacon
"What is true today may be reevaluated as false not long after. Judgements are frequently based upon a set of "temporary" circumstances surrounding them. Conflicting ideologies can exist simultaneously. Antagonistic dualities are complementary aspects of a unified whole: are seen as mutually dependent mirror images of each other." - Nahum Stiskin

A person's heart is the same as Heaven and Earth while the blood circulating is similar to the Sun and Moon yet the manner of drinking and spitting is either soft or hard while a person's unbalance is the same as a weight and the body should be able to change direction at any time as the time to strike is when the opportunity presents itself and both the eyes must see all sides as the ears must listen in all directions while the mind must grasp all the tactile, olfactory and gustation data not seen on all sides and not heard in any direction
