Can we do zazen with our ass conscientiously on a zafu amid an ocean of ignorance?

Question

Hello, I will probably attend the next sesshin and have already come once. I practiced in Nice for a long time. I am a seeker of truth and also an engineer. I am discovering things perhaps better left unknown: systems for saving a great deal of fuel (the Pantone system), censored scientific fields (cold fusion, water memory), political deceptions (9/11, the DSK affair, intervention in Libya)… I despair at the ignorance around me and the world I live in. As for what I know, it is undoubtedly only the very beginning of lifting the veil. Can we do zazen with our ass conscientiously on a zafu amid an ocean of ignorance, surrounded by people full of certainties, while being told, “You must see reality as it is”?

Yes, and that is only the beginning.
