The word contemplation is derived from the Latin prefix “con” (with) and the root “templum” (temple). In ancient times, temples were built at higher elevations so that people could see the world from a higher perspective. As such, contemplation is the act of seeing with the help of the divine. Conversely, meditation derives from the Latin verb “meditor,” which has no spiritual connotations.
