== Waypoint 1 - Learn About Nonduality ==
{{:Observe Duality and Connectedness|Type=Trail}}
At this Waypoint, you will get a chance to see Duality and then try to use the Lense of Nonduality to see things in a different way.
{{:Observe Impermanent People|Type=Trail}}
 
{{:Observe Emotions From Outside|Type=Trail}}
=== Lookouts ===
* ''Noticing Duality:'' Make a point to understand what it means to see things from the perspective of Duality.
* ''Look again using the Lense of Nonduality:'' Try to really feel at a meaningful level that Nonduality is a way to experience things.
 
{{:Duality with a Drink|Header=trail}}
=== Checkpoints ===
* ''Noticing Duality:'' Did you see that the drink is different from You, two separate things?
* ''Look again using the Lense of Nonduality:'' Did you sense for even a moment, that there wasn't a meaningful distinction between the drink and yourself?
 
== Waypoint 2 - Learn About Nonself ==
At this Waypoint, you'll experiment with the idea that there is no permanent, unchanging self.
 
=== Lookouts ===
* ''Changes in Other People:'' Think about how other people change from year to year, and even more often than that.
* ''The Changing You:'' Look into your own self-history and future, and think about which one is You.
 
{{:A Crowd of People and You|Header=trail}}
 
=== Checkpoints ===
* ''Changes in Other People:''Did you notice how obvious it is that other people change all the time?
* ''The Changing You:'' Can you see - at least at some level - how You are a constantly changing concept?
 
== Waypoint 3 - Learn About Decentering ==
At this Waypoint, you will practice seeing negative emotions as something to observe, not something that is You.
 
=== Lookouts ===
* ''Sounds and Sensations:'' See how physical sounds and sensations are separate from You.
* ''Emotions and Sensations:'' See how emotions and the sensations they cause are separate from You.
 
{{:Observe Emotions From Outside|Header=trail}}
=== Checkpoints ===
* ''Sounds and Sensations:'' Can you remember how the sensations of your hands didn't feel "personal" in any way?
* ''Emotions and Sensations:'' Were you - even for a moment - able to see how even emotions aren't You?
