In other words, Zen is beyond logic, or is it?
[Bill!:] Zen is allogical not confined or restricted by logic.
[Ed:] alogical: not based upon logic or reasoned argument; opposed to
logic
'Zen is alogical' is a statement which although true tells us next to
nothing about zen. For instance, romantic love is alogical too.
If you asked me 'What is a cat?' and I responded 'A cat is not a dog.',
this truthful response would be telling you next to nothing about a cat.
