Contemplation is to ponder to think on something ,anything.
Sages are often lost in divine contemplation, contemplatimg the Light ,God.
I may have seen pictures of a mango and heard how sweet it is but unless I have not eaten it I really do not know.
The same way one must be Enlightened to contemplate God.
Writing Poetry is a very high standard of contemplation where the poet fuses with the cosmos and crates words and sentences.
Contemplation is not meditation.It starts with contemplation then goes to meditation.
To contemplate your purpose of being here is vefry important in life.Meditation will show you the path you must walk.
A wise man contemplates life, fools know it all.
Meditation is One pointed concentration between your eyebrows with your eyes closed.You use your breath as the medium to fuse your soul with the supersoul.

Interesting you capricorn as well (although I don't believe in that stuff), as well as philosophy (I published in that). One thing: what the west defines as contemplation the East defines as meditation. Meditation means something else (lower than contemplation) in the west than in the eastern religions and terminolgy. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/realized
