When confused and overwhelmed by the Dhamma in these ways, recall the gradual training, below. Using reflexion, one knows where one is on the Path, and also thereby knows the next step.

MN 56 begins the gradual training: generosity, virtue, heaven & hell, the dangers of sensuality, the harm of defilements, the benefits of renunciation. Then, only after this conversation went well, the Buddha teaches Upali the Four Noble Truths. This is then Right View and the practice can begin wholeheartedly.

MN 107 continues expositing the gradual training all the way to nibbana.
