Contingent:
The sun will rise this morning. (contingent on the earth's continued existence, for example)
Necessary:
The sun cannot both exist and not exist. (necessary because it is impossible to conceive the opposite being true, i.e., that the sun BOTH exists and does not exist)

Our computer-brain works on a dualistic basis.
In a usual daily life all we do is done logically,
under an influence of our feelings.
Maybe we know some truth, but
we don,t make any discovers.
On the other hand, in a religious practice
we learn to perceive and to operate:
1) Without the participation of the sense organs.
2) Without the participation of the logic mental processes.
When these conditions will be created, then
we will acquire new forces, new abilities.
We know truth.
We make new discovers.

I subscribe to the doctrine that EVERYTHING that is true is necessarily true.
I fail to see distinction between "all frogs are amphibian" and "George Bush is the president of united states".
