Contemplations
"That which you contemplate you become."
~~~~~
Therefore we must be aware of what we are reading, watching and listening to. Awareness is
extremely important. If we consistently "practice the presence" then we will see
more and more positive results in our lives. All that we take into our consciousness is a
contemplation of sorts. Thus it is wise to choose well what we are contemplating upon. We
can also think deeply on a subject and that is deep contemplation. In contrast to
meditation which is stilling the thoughts and through this stillness becoming aware of the
unity of all things, contemplation is the act of focusing on a particular idea and
becoming one with it and using this idea as a vehicle for understanding.. Reading
spiritual/religious texts, taking in nature, listening to music are all acts of
contemplation. You can pick a piece of text from a spiritual book and work with it over a
period of time using the text as a guide to looking at the world.
