Noesis

<languages/> <translate> Noesis refers to the experience of inner knowledge as valid knowledge, despite it being purely subjective (Hood, 1975).

Notes

Noesis is a feature of Connection experiences (i.e. mystical experiences) long recognized in the literature (Hood, 1975; Stace, 1960). During a connection experience, an individual is receiving information from an internal source, usually the Resident Monadic Consciousness.

The feeling of noesis in mystical experience is prominent, pervasive, and powerful (Harmless, 2008) .
