It might be quite complicated , but it does/can lead
the mind towards transcending itself. I agree that
enlightenment is simple, but it can come as quite a
shock when the mind attempts to reference itself, to
"feel" itself as a subjective "I" and absolutely
nothing is there. This nothingness takes some getting
used to from the minds perspective. Until the
experience actually occurs, the profundity of this
experience can not be comprehended by the mind. There
is a foundational shift in identity from a unique,
psychological "I" to absolutely nothing. Thoughts,
feelings, actions, desires all continue as before but
there is no identification of these phenomena with an
"I".

Hmmm... Maya is more a concept for Unity consciousness
where time and space phenomena, which still exist
"outside" Self in the initial Realization of Self are
seen as "inside" of Self. They don't really exist
outside of Self. They aren't "real."
