|Nutshell=This trail is designed to take you to a place where you have a basic understanding of the [[Association|Beacon of Association]], including the Lenses of Nonduality, Nonself and Decentering, as well as the Credo of Unlearn the Self.  Once you've completed this trail, it is recommended you read through the content on the [[Association]] page.
=== Where will this Trail take you? ===
|Landmark1=Observe Duality and Connectedness
This trail is designed to take you to a place where you have a basic understanding of the [[Association|Beacon of Association]], including the Lenses of Nonduality, Nonself and Decentering, as well as the Credo of Unlearn the Self.  Once you've completed this trail, it is recommended you read through the content on the [[Association]] page.
|Landmark2=Observe Impermanent People
 
|Landmark3=Observe Emotions From Outside
== Step 1 - Learn About Nonduality ==
|Destination=Now that you have a basic idea of the concept, it's recommended you read through the article about the Beacon of [[Association]] and see if it starts to click with you.  Then, look for other [[Trails]] and [[Landmarks]] that are in the [[Engagement]] Realm that can assist you further.
During this step, you will get a chance to see Duality and then try to use the Lense of Nonduality to see things in a different way.
 
=== 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?
 
== Step 2 - Learn About Nonself ==
During this step, 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?
 
== Step 3 - Learn About Decentering ==
In this step, 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?
 
== Destination ==
Congratulations, if you've completed these three Skills, and reviewed the Checkpoints, you are one Trail further along in your practice.  Now that you have a basic idea of the concept, it's recommended you read through the article about the Beacon of [[Association]], and see if it starts to click with you.  Then, look for other [[Trails]] and [[Skills]] that are in the [[Learning]] Milestone that can assist you further.
