Zen ist der Weg zur Erlangung universellen Bewusstseins, persönlicher Souveränität und eines nicht vorstellbaren Grades an Freiheit. Neueste Forschungsergebnisse zeigen, der Cortex, die Großhirnrinde, steht für rationales Denken in Bildern, während niedere Gehirnstrukturen den überwiegenden Teil unseres Bewusstseins repräsentieren. Zen bietet die likelihood, den Kampf unseres expliziten as opposed to unseres impliziten, der des deklarativen as opposed to des prozeduralen Gedächtnisses, zu kontrollieren. Sicher bietet jede Wissenschaft an sich auf hohem Niveau einen möglichen Zugang zu mehr Bewusstsein. Philosophie, Psychoanalyse, faith, Literaturwissenschaft, sogar rein naturwissenschaftliche Gebiete wie die Physik (Elementarteilchen Forschung) gestatten einen Einblick, wie diese Buch zeigt. Besonders tief gehendes Verständnis auf höchstem Niveau ist ohne die Zen Philosophie (rein neurophysiologisch) unvorstellbar. So empfehle ich die Literatur dieses Buches jedem Wissenschaftler, ob Physiker oder Metaphysiker, um den Weg zu beginnen. Im Dienste der Gemeinschaft und seiner selbst. Das Verständnis füreinander und für sich selbst wächst mit jedem kleinen Schritt. Sicher ein anspruchsvolles Buch, aber ein wichtiges. Zen ist nicht einfach zu haben. Alles Wertvolle muss erarbeitet, erkämpft werden – nur Mut.
