Gee, I've never heard this in the TM context, Barry. Is this one of those special teachings given only to teachers? <snip> > So let's open the question up to the group.

Haven't we discussed this umpty times already (here and on alt.m.t)? I know I've given my understanding of it many times. Very briefly: the enlightened person perceives what Nature "wants" him or her to perceive, for Nature's own inscrutable purposes (anthropomorphically speaking; it's much more abstract than that, but that's the gist of it). In other words: If Nature has a "need" for an enlightened person to perceive something incorrectly, that's how he or she will perceive it.
