SECTION II and SECTION III.

SUBHUTI MAKES A REQUEST and THE BUDDHAS CONTRADICTORY RESPONSE
THE TEACHING OF THE GREAT WAY

We arrive at the heart of the problem this section of Sutra poses.

We have now even accepted that AI will do the work for us not only because we actually believe that the AI is smarter than us, but that our individuality, our essence, our self, has no evolutionary role to play in this emerging Technosphere.

And that is, over millennia such uncontested and blind veneration of Sutras sublimate our Sovereignty of Human Conscious by a false equivalence to other lesser ones. 

This focus on ethics at the expense of developing our perception of our inner phenomena to reach higher consciousness defaces ourselves. 

We cannot continue to solve problems of today by resorting  to the paradigms or scriptures of the past. 

The universe has changed since you heard this. 

So, is it fair to ask, was the Buddha wrong?  

Do write in, and let me know your thoughts.  

It gets worse, hang in there.
