Contemplatia

[Traditie1]

Cea mai bună explicaţie am găsit-o în pagina în engleză din OrthodoxWiki:

In Eastern Christianity contemplation or theoria literally means to see God or to have the Vision of God. As a technique, theoria is expressed by the ascetic tradition of Hesychasm. Hesychasm is continuous prayer that is to focus with absolute sincerity, and to repeat in prayer, as a means to focus exclusively on the Triune God. It is to reconcile the heart and the mind into one thing (see nous). Contemplation in Eastern Orthodoxy is expressed in degrees as those covered in St John Climacus' Ladder of Divine Ascent.

Contemplaţia este deci rugăciunea isihastă, liniştirea, tăcerea minţii.

Da, dar trebuie avut grija la conceptul de "vedere". Este vorba nu de cunoasterea lui Dumnezeu dupa fiinta, ci dupa energiile (lucrarile) Sale necreate
