Contemplation is an individual process through which a contemplative practitioner achieves a final transition from philosophical or theoretical knowledge to a certainty of direct realization. \u00a0 The process does entail a combination of analytical and insightful knowledge, using the methods of reasoning and critical thinking, along with the final vivid ascertainment of holistic nondual being and becoming, the totalistic coalescence of subject-object.<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/DSCI1768-007.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1951\" src=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/DSCI1768-007.jpg\" alt=\"shiva, god, atma, rigpa, tao\" width=\"1024\" height=\"457\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/DSCI1768-007.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/DSCI1768-007-150x67.jpg 150w, http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/DSCI1768-007-501x224.jpg 501w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/PB260229.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2217\" src=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/PB260229.jpg\" alt=\"philosophy insightful direct realization\" width=\"1058\" height=\"784\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/PB260229.jpg 1058w, http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/PB260229-150x111.jpg 150w, http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/PB260229-501x371.jpg 501w, http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/PB260229-1024x759.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1058px) 100vw, 1058px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TOTALISTIC COALESCENCE \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Supreme Reality has been given a multitude of terms that differ widely in different traditions. \u00a0 But they all point to the absolute subjectivity, pure consciousness.
