Quoted by Poulin, R. P., S.J., “Graces of Interior Prayer”, p. 272

Contemplation has been described, as a psychic gateway, leading from one state of consciousness to another. Jeremy Taylor calls it the “transition from intense meditation to that contemplation which attains to the vision of the wonders of God, as the human soul enters the realm of the divine light.” (Puglisi, Mario, “Prayer”, p. 181. ) Francois Malaval, who lived and wrote in the 17th century puts it most beautifully. He says:

“This act (contemplation) is also more perfect than reasoning because in reasoning the soul speaks, whilst in this act it enjoys. Reasoning...convinces the soul by its principles, but here the soul is rather illumined than convinced, it sees rather than examines. Reasoning occupies itself in the consideration of a word, a proposition, or a discourse; but this simple sight of God, supposing all [140] reasonings as things passed and known, contemplates its object in God Himself....”
