Lens of Attention: Intention
Lenses, in the context of the Beacons of Everyday Enlightenment represent more specific concepts and practices through which we can understand the rich meaning of each Beacon. There are Primary Lenses, which are the most commonly understood and most robust meditative concepts, and there are Other Lenses which are a collection of other closely related ideas for that Beacon.

Beacons | Attention |
Intention (especially in relation to Mindfulness) is the practice of observing one's intentions, whereby individuals can develop a deeper understanding of their motivations and thought patterns. This awareness can lead to greater ethical clarity and personal growth. Intention is closely related to some of the Lenses of Adaptation, because part of being adaptable is being aware of our own opinionated way we have of experiencing reality, which informs our ability to practice Non-Seeking and Non-Attachment.
Landmarks
The Realms of Everyday Enlightenment each have some noticeable Landmarks which show the likely alignment someone within that Realm has with each of the Beacons and their various Lenses. These Landmarks are things that need to be noticed and explored in the context of those Lenses and Beacons. And then through working on the Trails and Guides these Landmarks will serve as markers toward the next Realm where new Landmarks await.
