How do we explain the unexplainable? This question has inspired numerous myths, religious practices and scientific inquiries. But Zen Buddhists practicing throughout China from the 9th to 13th century asked a different question why do we need an explanation? Puqun Li details the bewildering and ambiguous philosophical thought experiments these Buddhists called Zen kans. Lesson by Puqun Li, directed by Cabong Studios

You have two minds, one is in the bio-computer physical organic brain, the other mind is connected the the Universal Mind. If you can stop the constant processing functions of the bio-computer. the your SELF may or will re-connect back to the Universal mind,
This is called spiritual Enlightenment, Nirvana, Cosmic Consciousness Samadhi, At-Onement, obtaining the Golden Fleece or Demigod ( Greek mythology), Heaven, Eden, Eternal Now (Nostradamus) all the same.

P. S. Meditation is also a way of turning off your body and brain. but staying awake inside and reconnect back to your original state/ position as the Eternal Inner Witness which is prior to all created things. including your own body and it's bio-computer brain machine that creates the artificial you. or Ego ( Ego = the sum total of all the stored info and sensations in your bio-computer brain.
Dont be a machine. break free and return to your true state as Eternal Spirit.

I'm really glad that this there's lots of stuff we can't explain, but who cares? just accept it mentality didn't spread to the western world, otherwise we wouldn't have modern science.
EDIT: okay rereading this it sounds like I'm cultural posturing, but I'd like to clarify that that's not what I'm trying to do. The idea I'm trying to communicate here isn't I'm better than you because I'm European, nyeeh! It's the reason we understand the world around us so much better than we did 1, 000 years ago is precisely because we _wanted_ to understand the world around us. The only reason we have electrical devices is because people wanted to understand lightning.

this guy seems confused about the purpose of koans, what they are meant to 'do. ' these are very confused 'explanations'/'interpretations. ' plus, he fell into the trap that he said wasn't meant to fallen into: needing an explanation. in any case, he has missed completely what they are actually meant to do for the human mind system's common limitations.

Understanding Spiritual Enlightenment and the DNA spiral helix is the same as the string energy spiral helix.
DNA is materialized light.
Life is MANIFESTED light.
We are Eternal living light.
Quantum Physics.

The dichotomy of Truth: Knowledge of Enlightenment. Which is more important? Those that lack a grasp on the difference between your and you're or between their and there lack both.

Abolishing binary thinking: EITHER you are a binary thinker, OR you arent.
Seems like binary thinking DOES tend to emerge, even in enlightened monks.

People who study cosmology and microphysics really need to learn stuff like this. Too much thinking about subjects that don't need answering.

If they're unexplainable, why should I waste my time trying to solve them. My training tells me: never let anyone waste your time twice.

There're many short lessions in Buddhism. I like this one: I want happiness, how get it, Just remove I and Want, there is Happiness.
