How the Limitations Inherent in the Individual's Creation of Experience Function to Conceal the Nature of Reality

(By Steven E. Kaufman): Maya, as the phenomenon that conceals from the Individual both its own Nature as well as the Nature of the universe as being composed of Consciousness-Existence, is a result of the unavoidable and inviolable functioning of two experiential limitations.

My Encounter with God Part VII

I thought that it would be an easy task for me to show that the universe was indeed spaceless and timeless, but actually it was not so easy. I thought if a photon moved from one end of the universe to its other end, then the so-called properties of the light would make the universe spaceless and timeless.
