Do you know the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS):

It is a research organization that focuses on the exploration of human consciousness and its potential. IONS was founded in 1973 by astronaut Edgar Mitchell, who was inspired by his experiences during the Apollo 14 mission. The organization’s name “noetic” comes from the Greek word “noesis,” which refers to inner knowing or direct understanding.

IONS conducts scientific research and studies in various fields, including psychology, parapsychology, spirituality, and alternative healing practices. The institute is known for its investigations into topics like meditation, mindfulness, psychic phenomena, and the interconnectedness of all living things.

While IONS explores topics that are often considered on the fringes of mainstream science, it aims to bring a rigorous and evidence-based approach to its research. The organization has published numerous research papers, books, and reports, and it hosts conferences and events to foster dialogue and collaboration among scientists, researchers, and practitioners interested in the exploration of human consciousness.
