i could and go look for myself but could you tell more about maya. Besides
being the name of an old woman friend of mine i always thought of maya as
being a veil (as in wearing a veal to not reveal oneself). Here as a veil
not revealing the true nature of things.

Although this certainly not being in disagreement with what you wrote.

And.

Being rather intelectually veiled myself i may be misunderstanding the
whole concept.
