This analysis effectively collapses the false wall between reality and illusion by grounding consciousness in the undeniable experience of physical pain. It provides a much-needed materialist correction to the often over-spiritualized interpretations of Eastern philosophy.

Maya is an illusion that is real.Added:
A called Maya.
Falsifications within unreality is still a reality. Because if the existence of nonexistence persist in wordage, then linguistic omnideception becomes the working definition for what objective reality is.
Thus the declaration that everything is alive becomes the only truism.
I.E. there are no truths except in stating truths that are said to be truths are non-truths.
Meanwhile unreality becomes reality itself.
It is a mistake to think that illusionariness, albeit a delusion, is not a working reality principle in an absolute sense.
The words of the world are truthless. So actual truth is found in the negation of the affirmation.
Therefore, the definition of truth is inverted.
As we are told, "Quote, that which is holds the meaning."
When in fact, when you affirm, "Quote, that which is is," you are lost.
It is only when you repeat with endless continuation, "Quote, that which is is that which is not," that you know the truth has been found.
Nihilism begins where language ends. If words become fiction, then meaning is gone.
True lucidity starts with the falsification of language itself.
Mental specters like global warming, God, human evolution, patriotism, immunization through injection, "Without government there would be chaos, trust the science, or manual labor builds character," etc. All dead verbage that desperately tries to revive unreality.
The mind of man is haunted by intangibles without a physical correspondence.
Eastern thinkers who belabor the concept of Maya often speak of it as a nothing burger with no reality. Instead of a nothing burger as the only reality.
Pure illusion cannot be so.
For the inescapable illusion makes its aggression known as an existence without an alternative.
Reality is not liquidated by proclaiming it to be an illusion, but it rather substantiates it as such.
Therefore, what dichotomy do we possess that posits, "This is real and this is illusion," when Maya always remains Maya?
Hindus may assert that, "Quote, universal consciousness alone is real."
But it is this very, "Quote, universal consciousness," that is projecting Maya and so too hoodwinked by it.
Hell, if I was to ascribe my individual consciousness alone is real, then damn it, I am disturbed.
Because wherever this accursed consciousness goes, pain follows my flesh, distress follows my emotions, and intrusion follows my mind.
So how can consciousness alone exist when it is always found to be imprisoned within incarnational embodiment?
If consciousness follows the body, then hurt must inflict them both.
And what's worse is that Hindus will dismiss suffering as illusion when we know that pain is the one thing that we may guarantee as real, especially physical.
Plus illusionary suffering is an oxymoron.
Though it would be accurate to say that we suffer because of illusion, but certainly not suffering on account of it is an illusion. That would be an asinine statement.
They will also further claim that even if the body and mind seems to suffer, Brahman is untouched and aloof thereto.
Often a distinction is made between consciousness and awareness.
Thus identifying the true self as an observer that is aware of the modifications of consciousness while being external to it.
But why would something like Brahman want to observe the abominable while being unscathed by such ugliness?
Is it somehow entertained by our open wound gushing forth its gore without becoming appalled just by looking at it?
If this is so, then it must be evil.
For if revulsion does not arise at the sight of terrestrial laceration, then this, "Quote, all-seeing eye of providence," is as indifferent as a psychopath.
I do not believe they are wrong about spirit being part and parcel with all spirituality proper within assumed individuation.
But they are catastrophically incorrect by describing it as aloof, blissful observation.
The opposite is the case. Spirit, because it cannot be tortured by itself, was forced into a body so the spirit can be tortured through the body.
It is not a mere witness. It is an experiencer. Because of the superimpositions of the nerve ending and stress chemicals that have been placed on top of it.
Also, major depression could very well be the symptomology of a spiritual being who has been made sick by this world.
And furthermore, as for myself, I cannot say my spirit is separate and indifferent from my victimization, but rather my spirit is enraged on account of it. For my anguish is so too his. Because I am he and he is I.
We might not be the body spiritually speaking, but we are still in a body. So it's discomforts are bothersome to consciousness.
And this so-called awareness outside of consciousness is a myth.
Awareness and consciousness are cross-pollinated or moreover synonyms.
I also find it to be a grave misnomer to describe consciousness as a everywhereness all at once because that is a generalized abstraction.
Consciousness is rather a personal thing as it is always localized within the first-person field of vision.
Consciousness is a humanness. So when I am happy, it is my consciousness that is so.
Likewise, when I am depressed, it is my consciousness that is so.
Instead of asking, "How are you?"
it would be more precise to ask, "What is your condition of consciousness at this time?"
I believe the error of Eastern philosophy is to place the spirit outside the central nervous system while we should view the central nervous system as an overlay on top of it.
Illusion, my ass.
What kind of an illusion screams and bleeds?
And if thoughts also are not real, then gosh, they sure are annoying.
You see, even if you are disillusioned from illusion, you are not disabused from the mental anguish of its presence.
You have two types of people.
Those who suffer because they believe in Maya, and those who suffer because even though they don't believe in Maya, they still have to exist within it.
