Zazen:
-become familiar with the workings of the mind,
-realize the intrinsically illusory nature of mental phenomena
-identify the origin of the phenomena that occupy most of our lives as belonging to the realm of the mind (including what we often call « spirituality »)
-realize that this realization of the illusory nature of the mind and its inherent phenomena stems from an anchoring beyond this nature of the mind,
-investigate the nature beyond, below the nature of the mind.

I am fairly sure we’ve not got this quite right. That consciousness, awareness, is mind. That maybe we need to distinguish types or states of mind…
