"1. Irrationality. By this I mean that satori is not a conclusion to be reached by reasoning, and defies all intellectual determination. Those who have experienced it are always at a loss to explain it coherently or logically. When it is explained at all...its content more or less undergoes a mutilation....The satori experience is thus always characterized by irrationality, inexplicability, and incommunicability.
.....There is nothing here of cool reasoning and quiet metaphysical or epistemological analysis, but of a certain desperate will to break through an insurmountable barrier, of the will impelled by some irrational or unconscious power behind it."
