What do I mean by contemplation? And why does meditation lead us into this state of contemplation? Well, Thomas Aquinas defined contemplation very simply as ‘the simple enjoyment of the truth.’ The simple enjoyment of the truth. You couldn’t get anything more simple than that. It is simply finding joy in what is. The truth doesn’t mean a dogmatic or scientific explanation or definition of reality. The truth is what is, in all its dimensions. And as quantum physics explores the invisible world in its relationship, it is discovering more and more dimensions of reality.
