Edgar,
You made me think (damn you!). ;-)

Only two little problems with what you say there, as I see it/them.
(1.) When an apparition or presentation is still an illusion to one, it shows
nothing to one of the nature behind it; one is "open" only to seeing the
illusory cover, the (karmically) transfigured substrate, and senses nothing of
the absolute Nature;
(2.) When one is awake, appearances and presentations of all types are simply
the radiance of the Tathagatha, manifestations of this wondrous Mind. There
are NO illusions.
(now back to our regularly-scheduled Samadhi bliss).
