@banzaiiish ;Greetings. "Don't Know" is the Attainment. It's like a calculator-many numbers-thousands-on and on-endless numbers-just like thoughts-coming-going-the mind full of mind-lessness. So, when you press "cancel" on calculator-Boom!-no more numbers-just "Clear Screen." Same thing. When you keep "Don't Know Mind" all becomes clear again, the mind before thoughts is a mind attaining All.
I am only interested in Zen, just like in many other things.
You are not able to see who I am by simply looking at my youtube channel and few comments. But it is normal that everybody forms opinions looking at this kind of information, I do this either.
Everything comes from our mind. Everybody has different "thinking" if someone thinks that his/her "thinking" is better than other "thinking" this is only an illusion. I think the point is to be mindful of it and watch our mind.
When you are caught up in this vicious circle your attention becomes very narrowed you are focused only on you inner mental processes your fears etc. you don't concentrate on outside world. You can do almost everything when you feel fear by just concentrating on things that needs to be done, not concentrating on your inner mental processes. If you don't want to feel what you feel I recommend taking drugs, seriously.
I can say you many things that it won't be true for you, because everybody is different. Accepting yourself is a natural process you can't do it because you want it. You see this is natural that people want to be strong. It is also natural they're not able to get rid of it. From psychological view, when you're trying to get rid of fear you intensify your fear. Because every time you feel fear you are anxious about it, so you feel fear because you see that your feel fear. This is vicious circle.
Nobody is able to answer to all these questions and tell what this is all about. I can only say that we just live for a moment and then we (our ego, our memories etc.) die and are gone FOREVER. Our brain is a biochemical structure when you stop to breathe and heart stops to beat your brain dies. But we are probably something more than our brain which contains our 'ego', our memories etc.
What would you do if you knew answer to these questions?
You are not in the 'place' about which I was talking. When you will truly ask those questions your mind will become 'empty' - this is 'emptiness' - there is no shit. You shouldn't KNOW in this state of mind. BTW Zen is not about changing your mind - Zen is about discovering and studying yourself => you better know yourself => you accept yourself => you are yourself => you can transcend 'suffering' - not get rid of 'suffering. But this is just my explanation. Genpo Roshi has similar explanation.

So you wrote "we don't know". Right, if someone thinks that he/her knows this is only an illusion.

I'm not a Zen monk. I haven't met any Zen master. I'm also attached to many other ideas besides "don't know".

Very good talk.
But put it all down! You don't understand anything, what is Universe? Where is Universe? What is beyond the Universe? So where are you?
Who are you?
Keep only don't know.
