== The Map ==
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.
