Thank you so much Lal:
I did ask the question (below) but it was ‘drowned out’ by the length of my statement; but yes, I should make it easier for the question to stand out. I tend to take great pains to ‘set the background’ to a question, or even to a statement of my own. I have been told before, even in conversation, ‘Come out with it’ It is just that I do not want to be misunderstood.
….”That is, how is it that they (the four Magga stages) warrant the 4 (of the 8) ‘types of people’, since they cannot be found (because they have by then already moved ON to the Phala stage).”
I will follow your leads.
Ever grateful
