== The Map ==
Depending on your level of experience with topics such as mindfulness, nonduality, impermanence and meditative practices in general, you could approach this site very differently.  Look over each of these types of Learners, and see which one matches where you are.  Make sure you understand the purpose of this site, including how [[Everyday Enlightenment#The Framework|The Framework]] works, and then dive in and start browsing through some [[Exercises]] to see where you might be able to find some traction in the journey to enlightenment.

[[The Map of Everyday Enlightenment]] is a set of tools ([[Trails]], [[Guides]], [[Lenses]] and [[Landmarks]]) for following the [[Beacons|Beacons of Enlightenment]] through the [[Realms]].  In order to conceptualize this development, a very simple framework is available to describe the why and how of these concepts.  [[The Map of Everyday Enlightenment|Understanding this Map]] is useful for exploring and understanding the Landmarks, because they are organized and categorized within that Map.  However, if you are experienced enough with these types of meditative practices, you can likely dive right into the [[Pathways]] to see what you'd like to explore.

== The Framework ==
Everyday Enlightenment is essentially a set of tools (exercises) for developing the [[:Category:Qualities|Qualities of Enlightenment]].  In order to conceptualize this development, a very simple framework is available to describe the why and how of these practices.  Understanding this framework is useful for exploring and understanding the Exercises, because they are organized and categorized within that framework.  However, if you are experienced enough with these types of meditative practices, you can likely dive right into [[:Category:Exercises|The Exercises]].
 
In order to easily contextualize the concepts of Everyday Enlightenment, and to aide in categorizing the [[Exercises]], a conceptual framework has been made available.  This framework is fairly arbitrary, and although it uses a lot of terms, these are just made-up terms to demonstrate the why and how of progressing to enlightenment.
