"Helpful? "
Haha. Enough to get me stream entry Dec. 17!

!!!!!
Thank you soooo much! For the book especially. That was the biggest factor for my achievement. I've never been so grateful. This is obviously what I've been looking for, but already I can tell that I haven't accomplished everything.
But for your entertainment I have a couple more questions:
Since stream entry I have experienced a non stop continuity of reality. There's no gaps in time in my awareness, even when I zone out and come back to reality it's all a single stream of consciousness. Is it because of this continuity that fruitations are recognizable? I haven't recognized a fruitation yet but I've experienced some vibratory phenomena that sounds like the impermanence door. It's like a "spacequake" from dark night but "I" am not experiencing it and can only reflect on it when it's over. With the proper resolution I can make it happen again after focusing on the crown chakra for a while. The difference between this and the spacequakes in dark night is that I feel like something is between those vibrations; like some shiny alter-reality or something. Is fruitation experienced as a shiny alter-reality? Or does the fruition happen after the vibrations?
I'm still unsure how to experience something that is not an experience or in space-time at all. Are all the three doors experienced as vibrations that include space? Can I recognize the three doors from their vibrations or are some smooth non-vibratory experience? There's been a couple other moments where I thought something happened and it was followed by some strange physical sensations that I've never felt before stream entry. My concentration was never high enough in those moments to see if there was a distinct split in time.
Thanks much!!

ps. Also, if your curious about how I know I got stream entry, I could write a 50 page essay on it, but the most fundamental difference is that it feels like a part of my brain shut down that used to cause suffering and then later a brand new new one but similar has appeared. But overall there is a massive drop in suffering and attachment. I've never experienced this much happiness and bliss in my life and I feel like I'm barely attached to it at all! The clarity is astounding! Ask more if you have doubts
