* Pathways - explain

Study Realms to understand what Landmarks indicate progression for different meditative practices.
The Map of Everyday Enlightenment can be navigated a number of ways depending on your own learning style and how far along in your journey you are right now.

Emphasis on learning about different enlightenment topics - self-directed
Emphasis on learning how to do (practice) at (different parts of the day)
EXISTING VERBIAGE:
The Pathways of Everyday Enlightenment are the routes through which we travel through the Realm while being guided by the Beacons. Different pathways are useful for different ways to explore.
Trails are curated journeys to follow Step by Step.
Guides are articles about styles of meditation or philosophy.
Landmarks provide clear ways to progress in our journey.
Lenses explain important enlightenment principles in the context of Beacons and Landmarks.

The Map of Everyday Enlightenment is a simple way of conceptualizing all the many different ways of pursuing meditative practices, and ultimately Enlightenment itself. All these conceptual terms were chosen to emphasize the thematic elements of The Map, in order to make it easy to navigate and think about.

What are we trying to accomplish?

Beacons provide focus and illumination of the concepts of enlightenment and the Credos give an overview of each Beacon's purpose.

Study Beacons for self-directed learning about specific enlightenment topics.

Where are we on our journey and where are we going next?

Realms organize Landmarks by difficulty and progression so that learners can effectively explore new and challenging ideas and practices.

Study Realms to understand what Landmarks indicate progression for different meditative practices.

How do we develop our practices to achieve real benefits?

Pathways are the different ways to go about learning and growing.

  • Landmarks are simple lessons about applying one topic to your everyday life. Browse these if you're unsure where you want to go next.
  • Trails are curated lessons made up of several Landmarks to follow all the way through to that Trail's destination, where you can look back and see what you've learned.
  • Guides are articles about a particular time and place for learning (such as Walking) that contain Landmarks that highlight how to do it.
  • Lenses are tied to Beacons and are articles about meditative concepts and the available Landmarks for those concepts.
