Bill, Exactly. Just to re-iterate: "Like the universe however, our true nature is not a "steady state" but constantly in flux." And to continue the theme: When we get close, we begin to experience "resonance", or what ZB's call "satori". The challenge we face is constantly to re-align ourselves in order to stay close to our "true nature". "Satori", "enlightenment" call it what you will, is a very dynamic state.

I especially like it because you've described zen as a 'method' instead of a 'state'. That doesn't mean it's better than the other responses; just closer to what I mean when I say the word 'zen'.
