A caterpillar knows nothing of butterflies, yet in spite of lack of aspiration its transformation is assured. It is much the same with those for whom enlightenment is destined.
Zen does not have the market cornered on enlightenment. Zen is a wonderful technology for modern candidates, but there exist many other valid, well appointed, technologies of being. The central point is that animal intelligence is the soil from which a further leap in the evolution of being springs forth. Humanity is yet in the process of speciation, and those individuals genetically predisposed to Awakening will find it imposed upon them just as the butterfly to the caterpillar and the frog to the tadpole.
Zen is midwife. Birth is inevitable.
