There is a wonderful sutta, SN24.4, which discusses stream-entry and beyond:

sn24.4: ‘It might not be, and it might not be mine. It will not be, and it will not be mine.’

 

sn24.4: What do you think, mendicants?

 

sn24.4: Is form permanent or impermanent?”

 

sn24.4: “Impermanent, sir.” …

And one of the interesting things about meditation is that one notices that very impermanence. Yes, doubts will arise. And just as surely they will fade away and disappear all on their own.

Unless you follow them.

But if you just watch them, minding your breath, you may notice that the breath keeps going while the doubts come and go. With constant awareness of breathing, we become more satisfied and settled in the impermanence of doubt. We become less prone to pursuing doubts. We simply just breathe and meditate.
