Watch out —
Zazen involves risks
And we don’t talk about it enough.
Zazen will make you grow.
The practice of sitting, often, in spite of yourself, will open the doors of consciousness and certain things that are easily tolerated or enjoyed by the population will appear incredibly pointless and harmful in your own eyes.
Zazen opens the floodgates and rearranges your energy pipes.
Certain activities will be incredibly facilitated and new potentials will be actualized.
On the other hand, other occupations will become completely unthinkable for you.
Zazen delivers honesty to the core of every act of our lives.
And this has consequences.
Now, you know.

Notes & Silence 
Regarding your reference to Zazen specifically, not quite. Try standing for hours listening to the wind, or watching the rain, the clouds, or the shadows. Same effect – but certainly not sitting.
Regarding your last line, not quite. No-one knows until they have experienced.

Regarding your first paragraph , not quite : Zazen is beyond sitting.
Any experience you referred to can be called Zazen.

As for the last line, …Well …One has to come up with some kind of conclusion at one time…
The knowing here is more a warning, which, I agree, does not change anything, for taking this warning into account would require already ‘knowing’ what kind of reality it is alluding to.

Clearly, Zazen manifests in many, more or less nebulous, guises.
Said he, looking at the clouds…

thanks for this tongue-in-cheek mise en abyme, Simon.
…said he, mirroring the narrative twist from the other side of the Channel.
