A very long letter on my recent stream-entry

I posted it on DhO

dharmaoverground.org/web/guest/discussio...oards/message/322059

Hello Bruno--
Thank you so much for posting your story! I am relatively new to this multifaceted community, so I wasn't aware of your process and difficulties this past year, but can relate to the way in which real spirituality somehow traverses deeply disturbing territory on the way to peace and freedom. Hearing your honest descriptions of despair and accomplishment/release, however fresh and provisional you may feel the latter to be, is very inspiring. I look forward to hearing more of your thoughts about the way in which your experience is differing from the expectations you had, I can relate strongly to that as well.
Take care--

Bruno,

Congrats on achieving escape velocity! Stream-entry really gets the ball rolling, so to speak.

Your detailed descriptions, as well as your correlation between the progress of insight and the path of yoga, are fun to read. Though, I can almost guarantee you that your view will change again and again as you continue to practice. My meditation journal is awash with detailed descriptions and map comparisons, and none of them were held for very long. All this to say that your practice will keep you on your toes.

Again, congrats on your attainment. Come back and tell us when you get path #2.
