Not sure what you mean by "going against the stream" but if it means that the dhamma is more towards the super mundane than the worldly dhamma, then I have to say that most of the suttas in the majjhima nikaya are such. The MN probably is not the best starting point for a complete beginner.

I agree with what others have said. I personally encourage you to look into the teachings of the Thai forest tradition. Most of the teachings are not contradictory to the suttas but in plain, clear, simple language. It seems like a good palce to start imo
