I do not think I am roiy to explain Harav Amevakesh Shlita.
I can only add my perspective.
When someone posts that things have gotten easier that may provide some hope to others that they will hopefully also get to such a point. That being said, As Simchas Torah said, it is a gift from Hashem and should be recognized as such. People should know that since it a gift from Hashem there is no guarantee that someone else will be zoche to the same matana.
I think there might be a distinction between reporting that things are getting easier and saying things that many can not relate to. For example, some have posted things like "Women who pass in the street are now no more attractive then a nice car or flower". From my perspective (and a very small one at that) this is not inspiring because anyone who says that must be an angel! I can not relate to angels.
I do not for a second doubt that they really feel that way. I am just not sure if if it is inspiring others the way they intend to. Again from my perspective only, I can not relate to that not can I imagine ever getting to such a level where women are like nice cars., It was not really whwere he was holding
However I was talking recently to someone who posted like that and he told me that he was so excited on reaching his millstone that he really felt like he had conquered the world but after a while it started setting in that even thought he really thought so in his euphoria it was not really what he felt.
Just my small opinion.
I can relate to the sentiment.
When i first joined SA and they said 'sex is optional' i didn't believe it to be true for me.
after about a year i believed it and after 2 years it started becoming real.
Not always are woman like cars to me, but sometimes they can be and although sometimes when people trumpet their success it is not always permanent and solid, it is good to hear that there is another type of life out there that can be achieved.
It's not a random gift from Hashem to be transformed into an angel - its the reality of someone not obsessed with lust
SA has the 12 promises - gifts from Hashem that WILL materialize, sometimes quickly and sometimes [very] slowly
