Zen mind is the "natural" state of our beings. But Zen mind is not Zen mind. That is, if you are attached to Zen mind, then you have a problem, and your way is very narrow.
Throwing away Zen mind is correct Zen mind.

This blog advocates the use of critical thinking.

"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it."
Buddha

"Where there is great doubt, there will be great awakening; small doubt, small awakening; no doubt, no awakening."
Zen proverb

"Doubt everything.
Find your own light."
Buddha

"There are many paths to the top of the mountain, but the view is always the same."
Chinese Proverb

"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it or who has said it, not even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense."
Buddha

johnrezas: “Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hm? Hm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes.”
