Contemplation includes and embodies everything that is

So contemplation, then, is simple. It embraces, includes and embodies everything that is. All dimensions of reality. All points of view. All the sources of wisdom. All cultures. All faiths. God is One. In the most ancient wisdom traditions, God was meditating when He created the world. You find that in the Vedas. God is a contemplative. God is contemplation and we only know God when we enter into contemplation and when we become simple.
