Maya

German: Maya

Common meaning:
Illusion, deception, that which is not ultimately real (from Indian philosophy)
Clear meaning:
The experience of separation as reality—not falsehood, but the necessary veiling that allows the One to experience itself as many.

Maya is not
what is wrong—
it is
what makes form possible
by concealing wholeness.

Structurally, Maya
is not the opposite of truth—
it is the stage
on which truth appears in fragments,
so remembrance can unfold.

Maya is not the false—
it is the play
of reality in disguise.
