When the spirit is open, when opened to the Spirit, I recite the sutras of Zen,
I see no shred of contradiction.
Zen allows this,
The Spirit allows this.
Zen and the Spirit have this in common: they are always new, always alive, they are life itself,
Zen and the Spirit,
Zen is the Spirit.

If Zen is the spirit, then Zen is not. Just a construct of the imagination, to create a conceptual framework for what should never be framed.
In which case, Zen lies in the annihilation of Zen, and of all the ideas and frameworks against which we tried to make Zen a defence.
Zen becomes the consuming fire. If it is the spirit
