YES YES YES YES!!!!!
"I" awoke to god just last night,
and I have never been more trusting, more concentrated, more compassionate, and yet more empty.
A really really great simple straightforward way for becoming self-aware and then working toward full-time nirvana is The Headless Way -- Homepage

The Headless Way. Afghooey you explained it perfectly, but for those who are still lost the headless way lets you do a few simple excersizes outside the realm of thought that sort of shock the system into understanding Zen.

It also approaches another truly incredible aspect of self-knoledge, that lies in the concept of multi-celled organisms, how the earth itself is an organism and equally as conscious as the galaxy and then the universe all the way down to a singular atom. We are not in fact "Humans" but the very Essence Of God that is all things. We only perceive a separation due to conditioning.

God bless.

Edit: man afghooey even your avatar means enlightenment!
Life and Death are so beautiful...
