The nature of maya, as it has to do with meditation and enlightenment has little to do with the complexity and paradoxes of the physical world, but has much to do with the mind and how it interprets what is experienced, for that is how the paradoxes manifest. The world itself has no paradox and is what it is. It includes the body, senses, and the environment of the body as a seamless whole. It is when the mind generates a thought and the mind is overshadowed by the thought and then maya comes into play making it seem there are individual things, and creates the illusion of a person separate from the world. In this situation, the mind makes a virtual world that replaces the actual world, like a heavy fog obscuring what one sees. Waking consciousness, TC (as remembered), CC, GC, and incomplete UC are subject to this obscuration. Thus these states are a problem to be mastered if you desire enlightenment. If you desire these states, by all means enjoy, but it will stunt your progress to aim so low. The computer that is creating a simulation of the world is in your own head.

The illusory aspect of maya is inherent in the world. The prime example is the dual nature of light in nature. It is both a particle and a wave. Being a wave, light is non-deterministic and is probabilistic. As such, the world is based on information that's similar to the virtual world of computers. Hence, it can be justified to say that the world is a simulation in a gigantic computer. Tom Campbell, a former TMer, discusses this point in the following video: Tom Campbell: The Key to Understanding Our Reality (from Spokane) | | | | | | Tom Campbell: The Key to Understanding Our Reality (...

Meditation reveals certain oddities about the nature of the universe from the level of experience. I would say the the illusion aspect of maya, and the consequent misunderstanding of the nature of spiritual life lasts all the way to Brahman consciousness, at which point maya begins to retreat. Most people seem to assume this happens near the beginning of practice of TM but the misunderstanding of the nature of self and the world lasts through all the states and we become capable of correcting the mistake of the intellect only at the end. Because until then we did not know what it really was. The word used for sin in the Bible means literally to miss the mark. The word sin in English comes from a root word meaning guilty. Actions performed when feeling guilty are stressful. Using the term sin to coerce people to do something that they spontaneously do not do, such as vote or even meditate might have adverse effects if in fact what the person does contrary to another's desire is really spontaneous. Most people in the world do not naturally meditate, they have to come to it somehow, and understand by experience its value, and only then will they naturally continue with it. The TM org is considered hostile by some so these people might avoid doing what the org wants. Meditation eventually develops spontaneity, but spontaneity means you cannot predict what will happen, you cannot predict what a spontaneous person acting within the framework of nature's laws will do. They do not act on individual whim, it's nature's spontaneity to do or not to do. From: "dhamiltony2k5@...

Om, complacency. One could construct that in the being of human spirituality there are certainly things we do in life that enhance spiritual well-being either individually or collectively and then other things we may do that degrade spiritual well-being. On these terms we could say there is that which is 'virtuous', enhancing spiritual well-being and then the spiritually 'sinful' which detract from it. Given what science is now correlating (or) some of what is our direct experience, for those who actually practice meditation and are experienced at it, this could well be said (constructed) that complacency in attending to meditation either individually or at the collective meditation is sinful in these terms. It could well be constructed that in the least, the complacent position on meditation is just some ignorance of the science or some lack of discipline in practice and experience as these manifest and not sinning necessarily like in the sense of the religious jurisdiction of a Sharia law or a Papal inquisition. We are just talking the spiritual here, like in the experience of transcendentalism here. But then, in this construction when it might come to further considering those who would be false apostates out on the internet actively denying the science of meditation and even working at derailing those evident good works of meditation and its collective practice theirs under this spiritual construction would certainly become a moral failing simple, above the complacent, a type of serious crime against humanity's spirituality more than just misdemeanor, but rising to that of felony crime against humanity. [ ] .. constructing the indictment. -JaiGuruYou ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <archonangel@...> wrote : I agree. "The term moral obligation has a number of meanings in moral philosophy, in religion, and in layman's terms. Generally speaking, when someone says of an act that it is a 'moral obligation,' they refer to a belief that the act is one prescribed by their set of values." People, even in the uniform world of a particular belief system have different values. Perhaps some of these we are born with, and some cultural, some indoctrinated. People who learn TM have a reason to learn, and even if they stick with the meditation, they may not share the values the TM movement holds dear, or believe everything the TM movement thinks they should. If consciousness is the ultimate reality, then it already permeates everything ("infinity at every point"), everything is in its grip so meditating should not have any wide ranging effect but would be local with the organism, a person might be calmer. The evidence of wide ranging effects of meditation is not very convincing, and personal belief and spiritual hype is not evidence of efficacy. Meditators and non-meditators hold widely divergent views. People who want Hillary for US President say it is a moral obligation to vote for her. The same for those who want Trump for President, a moral obligation to vote for him. And then there is Jill Stein and Gary Johnson, who also have supporters with different values. Meditation does not seem to alter these kinds of preferences, although the cultural environment of the TM movement might have an influence on some people, or their church and so on.
