ABSTRACT
Simply stated, the koan is Truth, or the place where Truth resides. e uppercase spelling references religious, fundamental, or existential Truth.
Fundamental Truth is not a xed, static, or stable entity. Rather, Truth emerges and fades in oscillation in relation to resistance to Truth. is resistance serves to protect the individual from fundamental or basic anxiety.* e tension between Truth awareness and resistance accounts for the need for a lifetime of practice.
