Although locked, the posture of zazen is a key.
It opens the door of your consciousness to the realities that go beyond you.
Although motionless, the cushion offers you the journey beyond the partitioned spaces of usual representations.
Zazen opens the door and takes you beyond everything.
The ‘everything’, precisely, is the fuel that you bring: your life, your experience, your psychic material,
Beyond everything that you carry, everything that gesticulates in you,
This is where silence takes you.

Might I suggest any posture can be a key – if used as such?

indeed.
Though one should deny that one may be more of a key than others.
IT seems that through ages this sitting posture has had sages’ preference across all traditions.
Like a mountain top can be reached by crawling, crouching, walking, or rolling on the sides…but there also are 4X4 vehicles available that can take you up there.

A tradition of many traditions is just a tradition…
