"Even if you negate all till you arrive at all-emptiness, there will remain that which can not be annihilated." Keizan.
I love the Zennists. They are the surrealists of spirit, juxtaposing whatever it takes to drop depth charges into the cranium: implosion and explosion, neither and both at once, and having no head is all there is to it.
"There are no sense organs to grasp, and there is no need to obliterate their fields. Each is transcended along with the mind and objective world. Viewed minutely, none has true existence." Keizan
21st century? - meet the 13th century, give your mind a rest and take a listen, they're way ahead of you. Delicious irony that Zen, with its reputation for irrationality is at heart the most naked and rational of all the traditions: no flesh, no bones, not a trace.
