Dan Brown's Lost Symbol introduces Noetics to me


I've just finished reading Dan's latest blockbuster: The Lost Symbol.

Fabulous, my friends. A gotta read!
The book sold one million copies the first day, or so the e-zine ishift said in their article they sent me on my gmail.

The book's setting is in the hidden chambers, tunnels, and temples of Washington, D.C.

As the story opens, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned unexpectedly to deliver an evening lecture in the U.S. Capitol Building.

When Langdon's mentor, Peter Solomon—a Mason —is brutally kidnapped, Langdon realizes his only hope of saving Peter is to accept this invitation and follow wherever it leads him. Langdon is plunged into the world of Masonic secrets, hidden history, and never-before-seen locations.

Add Peter's beautiful sister Katherine who has a secret lab in the Capital Building catacombs where she is studying Noetics.

The heroic duo, Robert Landon and Katherine Solomon, finally take out the mad, bad guy, after, of course, enduring pain and torture. What is left in this popular fiction blockbuster is amazing and delightful; a new science called Noetics.

As I understand it Noetics is the scientific study of human consciousness that proves that enlightenment is not a personal matter but an evolutionary potential that has the power to change our world from the inside out. And I say, None too soon.
