CONTEMPLARIS: Understanding the Knight Protectors of Knowledge ~ Contemplaris is to contemplate -- and it reveals the role of the Knight Protectors with World Templar. It is not a name about the Temple Mount -- but rather, a higher meaning that relates to the wisdom of the All. Contemplaris is a Latin term that means to "observe, notice, or contemplate."​ It is derived from "templum"​, or temple, an open place for observation that is typically associated with a higher deity. This basic understanding characterizes the role of the Templar Knight as a protector of knowledge through higher cognitive processes of thought and contemplation. Our Distinguished Knights are not a spin-off of the historic Knights Templar -- they are of an elevated position in the Halls of Knowledge and keepers of higher thought and wisdom. World Templar is a common platform for individuals and organizations to seek knowledge and expertise from each other. We focus on the oneness that joins us all with a higher understanding of ourselves, our professions, and our diverse cultures. Each different perspective that spans inter-personally and inter-culturally is valuable to our overall knowledge and understanding of the world around us. World Templar promotes oneness between diverse people without discrimination on the basis of gender, race, color, National origin, or religion. All members are dedicated to the betterment of mankind through seeking and protecting an open disposition with friends, colleagues, and others across the world. Currently World Templar has members in more than 85 countries from the continents of North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, and Australia. World Templar https://www.worldtemplar.com/
