Working on Koans helps students learn the art of repressenting the unconcious expereince in concious fashion. As such Koans are pardoxical in charecter.
The unconcious by definition is something you are not aware of it, so how can you present it in concious fashion?
If you are in the depth of samadhi or fana, then you are not aware of it, but as soon as you come out of it, you are able to notice as it passes.
It is like dream, another unconcious phenomena, another phenomena we are not aware of, when we are dreaming, even though some train themselves to be aware of their dreaming while they are dreaming, so called lucid dreaming phenomena, but in the depth of samdhi or fana, gone, awareness is not there, so that one is not aware of it.
The passing pits of information serve as springboard to the concious world, and more relevent to our task, they help us solve koans. They do so by grounding thinking, logic or feeling on lived moments or experience.
