CD 16: Tathagata’s Meditation in the Cybercity
Realizing that the paths to Hell and Heaven both pass through the life on Earth and not in the lofty sky or dungeon in the underworld, the wanderer returns from the cosmic sphere and encounters men and women in a modern city drowned in technological gadgets. Here the faithless creatures of Prometheus strive to rise to Heaven as the gods and goddesses of modern time, and dream to rule the Earth as supermen and superwomen. The Guide of the Soul warns them about the danger of the destructive power that they may unleash upon themselves.
