INTRODUCTION TO NOESES.

Life is arguably the greatest gift that has been conferred onto the human race by God. Having the privilege to live is a beautiful gift that one should be grateful for. Encapsulated in the beauty of life are two extremes; it can be magnificent but we must admit that it can also be tough. Life offers us different ‘treatments’ at different stages. We are supposed to be healed after every ‘treatment’. Unfortunately, that’s not the reality for most people. Life’s turmoil becomes the only perspective of its victims.

I believe it’s the desire of every human to transcend beyond all challenges and find answers to life’s questions in order to live a fulfilling life. We at NOESES (we will delve into the meaning of NOESES in a jiffy) believe that life can indeed be magnificent and fulfilling if the right principles are applied the right way. We intend to draw from NOESES, life-changing principles that might challenge your perception of the world. We are about to embark on a journey where some hard truths will be hard to swallow by many. In fact most of the principles and perspectives that will be shared here could prompt many to question some of the beliefs they have held onto for a long time. I guarantee you a magnificent trip. It will be interesting, educative, eye-opening and thought-provoking. But wait! there is one condition; I crave your indulgence to keep an open mind. Like one of my inspirers normally says: “keeping an open mind could be one of the greatest assets you can have in these times”. Coming with me on this trip will further open your mind to new realities and for that matter new possibilities. I’m sure some readers are craving to know what NOESES means. Now, what then is NOESES? 

Noeses is the plural for the Greek word ‘noesis’. Noesis means ‘thought’. Its root word is ‘noein’ which means ‘to think’ (Collin dictionary). Memidex (online dictionary/thesaurus) defines noesis as the psychological result of perception, learning, and reasoning. The closest synonym of noesis is cognition which means the process of knowing. Juxtaposing its origin and dictionary definition reveals to us that, noesis is simply the product of thinking. In essence principles and perspectives that are going to be shared here, were arrived at as result of perception, learning, reasoning and the shared experience of the wise ones. NOESES is insight!

In the next post, more will be said about different world views under the title; PERSPECTIVES and REALITY: The Quest for an Open Mind. There is one more thing; I would like you to know that noeses doesn’t promise to be a repository of all knowledge. We would love to hear your thoughts so please leave a comment. Like I said, this trip will be interesting, educative, eye-opening and thought-provoking. Come with me!
