Thank you very much for sharing your experience, DhammaSponge!
- Your descriptive comment reveals that you have indeed grasped the fundamentals. Buddha Dhamma can be very deep, but once one starts on the path, Dhamma itself will guide one to deeper aspects. It is important to keep at it, just to make certain that the Sotapanna phala moment is realized. Once that is done, an immense amount of future suffering would be removed.
- I am planning a post exclusively on attaining the Sotapanna stage (based on the material discussed so far in the new “Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta – New Series” section) in a couple of weeks. It is necessary to complete the background material first. Of course, some people can attain the Sotapanna stage without going that deep, but even for them it would be a good refresher.
- By the way, the post that DhammaSponge referred to is “Craving for Pornography – How to Reduce the Tendency.”
