From the DN, the one with which I have given a careful reading is DN1. I feel that this discourse go with the main aim of the teachings of Buddha. Do you think is the case?

DN I (including DN 1) is altogether fine, it seems to me, although as with any Sutta - but especially in the Digha - it pays to keep the audience in mind.

Much of DN 1 seems to be deconstructing "yogic intuition" as a valid means of knowledge.
