Contemplation

Contemplation is sustained, non-discursive attention—holding something (a question, a text, a mystery, silence itself) in steady awareness without the impulse to analyze or solve it. This practice, found across traditions, trains the mind to tolerate not-knowing and often produces genuine insight precisely because it suspends the ego's need to master.
