Contemplation is not the same as thinking as we know it. It is thinking in a specific manner with a specific objective.
Deep thinking – thinking deeply about matters that matter.
Start Contemplating
Thinking is the continuous stream of thoughts that go through our mind, consciously or unconsciously. These thoughts may or may not stay for very long on our mind. They may come and go as they please.
Contemplation, on the other hand, is thinking about a particular matter that is important to you — deliberately, deeply, and with the objective of finding peace.
Thinking about a particular matter that is important to you:
Very consciously, by specifically deciding to think about it
And also resolving to not think about anything unrelated for the moment
Thinking about this matter very deeply
Thinking deeply with the objective of digging deeper to analyze it
Using the Contemplate principles as a guide to think through the matter
With the objective of finding an answer, insight, or a solution
That makes you peaceful
"Contemplation is a deliberate act of thinking about something that is important, with the objective of analyzing it in detail using the Contemplate principles, to find an answer that leads to a peaceful state of mind."
