Explore a deeper state of consciousness and find lasting peace, joy, and enlightenment.
🌿 Meditation
Definition
Meditation is a practice of focused attention that trains the mind to still, observe, and disidentify from thoughts. It is based on the use of techniques such as breathing, focusing on an object, mantra, or internal presence, to release identification with the ego.
Main Objective
To tame the mind, reduce stress, and prepare the internal field for higher states of consciousness.
🌌 Contemplation
Definition
Contemplation is a more advanced and natural state of consciousness in which the mind spontaneously silences, and the Self observes without judgment. It is an experience of pure presence, a silent witness, oneness with what is.
It does not seek to control or achieve anything; it simply Is.
It can arise during meditation or spontaneously in everyday life. In Hawkins' words, it is aligned with higher levels of consciousness such as peace, joy, or unconditional love.
Advantages of Contemplation Over Meditation
Contemplation | Meditation | |
|---|---|---|
Nature | Spontaneous | Technique or Practice |
Associated Level of Consciousness | Love, Joy, Peace, Enlightenment | Courage, Neutrality, Reason |
Relationship With the Ego | Transcends It Completely | Struggles to Disidentify |
Focus | Arises From Surrender | Requires Discipline and Effort |
Goal | Transcend the Mind and Ego | Calm the Mind |
Duration | May Be Permanent | Limited Time |
In Hawkins' Words:
"You meditate, you chant a mantra, you do techniques… but in the end, what liberates is letting go. It is in contemplation—pure presence—that the total surrender of the ego occurs."
🌱 Conclusion
Meditation is a necessary training, but contemplation is the silent and powerful fruit of that training.
Meditation disciplines, but contemplation liberates.
To meditate is to do; to contemplate is to BE.
