-  \ got enlightened when the bottom fell out of her water-bucket, and Todd got enlightened\

-  \ educated people like you and I, what we perceive and experience is heavily mediated,\
-  \ through language and concepts that are deeply ingrained in our ways of thinking\
-  \ and feeling. Our objective here is to induce in ourselves and in each other a\
-  \ psychological state that involves the unmediated experience of the world, because\
-  \ we believe that that state has certain desirable properties. It's impossible in\
-  \ general to reach that state through any particular form or method, since forms\
-  \ and methods are themselves examples of the mediators that we are trying to avoid.\
-  \ So we employ a variety of ad hoc means, some linguistic like koans and some non-linguistic\
-  \ like zazen, in hopes that for any given student one or more of our methods will,\
-  \ in whatever way, engender the condition of non-mediated experience that is our\
-  \ goal. And since even thinking in terms of mediators and goals tends to reinforce\
-  \ our undesirable dependency on concepts, we actively discourage exactly this kind\
