Page "Contemplation" Paragraph 6

This is to say that once someone is in the presence of God, deified with him, then they can begin to properly understand, and there " contemplate " God.

This form of contemplation is to have and pass through an actual experience rather than a rational or reasoned understanding of theory ( see Gnosis ).

Whereas with rational thought one uses logic to understand, one does the opposite with God ( see also Apophatic theology ).
