Zen Me

I find in reading about Zen meditation and practice that a remarkable degree of my personal understanding of my own existence corresponds very suspiciously to that of the Zen masters.
I wonder if this is because of some rare and intrinsic gift for insight, or if many years ago when I read about Zen I was so impressed that I managed to incorporate the entire Zen philosophy unconsciously into my own way of thinking. I do not have any conscious recollection of ever having studied and understanding Zen teachings enough to consider myself even a pupil of the discipline. I did once read about Zen Buddhism, but I have also read with a similar degree of interest many other philosophical viewpoints.
I sometimes wonder if I made myself too open and suggestible to the hollywood version of Buddhism especially as portrayed in the classic series, „Kung-Fu”.
