Is Zen self-actualization? Please remove if it's not appropriate, I know very little re: Zen/Buddhism.

From what I've read of Dogen and TD Leighton etc. I'm beginning to suspect that the practice of zazen and the samadhi state of mind are both just expressions of the self existing for the self's own sake. I understand that to try to logicalise Zen is completely against the point, however, I find it is easier to actually practice meditation regularly and be more aware and less over-analytical in my day to day life with this in mind. Am I on to something and is this a line of thinking I should continue to pursue, or is this only hindering my progress?
