| | |Destination=Now that you have a basic idea of the concept, it's recommended you read through the article about the Beacon of [[Adaptation]] and see if it starts to click with you. Then, look for other [[Trails]] and [[Landmarks]] that are in the [[Enrollment]] Realm that can assist you further. |
| At this [[Landmarks|Landmark]], you will get a chance to see the difference between seeing something as solid, steady, permanent as opposed to transient, ephemeral, impermanent. This is the first step in becoming a Learner in the Beacon of Adaptation.

| |
| * ''Being Pulled vs Thinking:'' Try to notice the difference between your craving (being pulled) and the mental thoughts that run through your head ("That chocolate looks so good").
| |
