I really enjoyed it.

His analysis of Equanimity Ñana and Stream Entry is totally spot on, I think.

I also like his emphasis on emotional development and grounding awareness in the body.

Good stuff, pretty hardcore (in the DhO sense).

There's also an audio version and a podcast feed, via the Batgap Home Page, for those who don't like to sit in front of the computer for hours listening to it

Cheers,
Florian

Yes, it was his emphasis on the basics of the actual doingness'es that eventually brought me to this forum.   For the first time I felt I understood what I was supposed to do and to accomplish while doing it.   

The only thing I bring to the practice that he does not have clearly is a checklist of basic goal sets which I see as the threads of the mind -- just pull the thread and huge segments of the thouight, emotion, effort, and other phenomenon just fall away (eventually).

I like his emphasis on not running away from the mind -- passively facing its turmoil.   He gave me a spine  :-))

I absolutely loved how he described his experience through stream entry and his emphasis on getting in the thick of difficult emotions and seeing their true nature. I was however turned off by his dismisal of secular Vipassana and mixing and matching of techniques.
