-The purpose of this page:
-* Use this on "all" top-level pages to orient you right away (what does this mean, and what do I do with this page?)
-* On Main page too
-* some graphical way to know right away they can skip this from now on
-* needs to be quite terse, or else it's annoying that it's everywhere

+[[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 the terms are made up and are arbitrary. However, the thematic elements of The Map serve 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.
-("what is it")
+Study Beacons for self-directed learning about specific enlightenment topics.
-[[The Map of Everyday Enlightenment]] is made up of three main sections.
+====='''Where''' are we on our journey and where are we going next?=====
-* [[Beacons]] provide focus and illumination of the concepts of enlightenment and the [[Credos]] give an overview of each Beacon's purpose.
+[[Realms]] organize Landmarks by difficulty and progression so that learners can effectively explore new and challenging ideas and practices.
-* Realms - explain (same comments) - OR maybe this should be specific to "how to use" so it's not reusable
-* Pathways - explain
-("how to use it") -- a lot of verbiage that needs refinement
+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.
+====='''How''' do we develop our practices to achieve real benefits?=====
-Emphasis on improving your practice through a (disciplined) approach
+[[Pathways]] are the different ways to go about learning and growing.
-Emphasis on learning about different enlightenment topics - self-directed
+* [[Landmarks]] are simple lessons about applying one topic to your everyday life.  Browse these if you're unsure where you want to go next.
-Emphasis on learning how to do (practice) at (different parts of the day)
+* [[Trails]] are curated lessons made up of several Landmarks to follow all the way to that Trail's destination where you can look back and see what you've learned.
-EXISTING VERBIAGE:
+* [[Guides]] are articles about a particular time and place for learning (such as Walking) that contain Landmarks that highlight how to do it.
-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.
+* [[Lenses]] are tied to [[Beacons]] and are articles about meditative concepts and the available Landmarks for those concepts.
-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.
