Moon mind reflects truth, which is borrowed. Borrowed truths always created confusion.
“If you replace mistaken ideas with correct ones, reality can replace illusion. What makes this notion even more potent is that the mind creates both illusion and reality.”
Mind exist in limitation and because of its limitation, mind is incapable to create both illusion and reality. What moon mind explains, it is about mind. Illusion and reality, in moon mind’s concept, it is nothing but mind.
As if somebody explain about “peace of mind”. How ‘in limitations of the mind’ can be peace, which has no limitation?
These moon minds have to decide, either Mind or No-mind.

This really doesn't make any sense. God didn't create us with faulty perceptions and to question the nature of the physical universe to the level here is frivolous, confusing and harms more than it helps spiritual growth, even if the "gaps" actually do exist. But where is the evidence for this? Where is this information coming from?

If Maya is "that which is not" then it dose not exist and CANNOT provide any energy. Come on guys use your brains for a change.

Hello. Maya,defined as that which is not, is the ENERGY that creates illusion, and as in a house of mirrors, that which is not, would be the myriad of reflections we approach, under the illusion that it is real. Maya does exist, is dynamic, and is hard at work in every moment of our lives, testing our desire to transcend this world of illusions, and go back home to God, in the spiritual world.

I did not mean to imply any time of "atheism" as you call it, rather point out that we are in control of our lives. The energy in the universe, God, or what ever people are comfortable calling it, is in all of existence. Therefore, we are in control of everything as a collection since we are all a part of something bigger than our actual bodies. Our control is beyond the physical ability of nature, but more the energetic level of it. We are in control of our realities in the sense that the intentions we create are manifested. I agree it is all a part of something bigger, and we are all able to utilize that to find our fulfillment.

Maya, "that which is not" cannot always be changing. If it is not, then it doesn't change because it doesn't exist. Otherwise it would be "that which is."

Distinction Defied

Am I seen by my pain
Am I seen by my joy
Am I known by what I do
Am I known by what I feel
What am I to the beholder
Perceived by what lens
Colored by what filter
Known by what light
Image - Illusion
Illusion - Image
Distinction defied
Being Is and I Am
This moment of eternity
And transient is each judgment.

Hare krishna. Yes. we are constantly changing, as the illusonary energy of God, kown as Maya, 'that which is not', is dynamic and always changing according to our deires as Soul. but, I disagree with April's comment that we are in "control" of everything around us. can we grow a tree, amintain life and air and all the planets revolving in space? Are we conscious of infinate time and space and all that has been at every moment? We must gaurd against this dangerous form of atheism, diguised as empirical 'knowledge'. The Souls exists because of god's LOVE for It, we should be humble, and not think we are the "controller". The Lord is directing us from the heart, go within, and surrender to God, that is the eternal NOW everyone talks about. WE are not the doer. Please read Bhagavad Gita As It Is, by Srila Prabhupada,very helpful to understand our true position, so as not to fall into this trap of Maya, "I am the contoller". God is fulfilling our desires, we draw certain experiences to ourselves by these desires, but we are not spinning planets, we are not in charge of the Material Universe, and this becomes eveident with Birth Death Old Age and Disease. Do we control our time of death? Do we even know it?

The mind does create everything. We are in complete control of life and everything around us. It seems the negative comments on this page aren't looking at one of the main point of this...that we are often living in illusion when we are trying to keep things fixed and constant. That isn't life...reality is constantly changing as we are constantly changing, from the cellular level to the spiritual one. We do control and create reality, it is within all of us to create our circumstances, control every aspect of our lives, our things, etc. To determine otherwise leaves you as a whim to something else and in that there is no responsibility for all the good and bad in your life. At that point you are a victim of things you can't control, and I personally wouldn't enjoy life that way. I would rather look at everything and know that I am at the root of it, and I have the ability to change anything should I choose.

Thank you for a very interesting idea,
one that starts to make sense of everything.
How do I open my third eye ?
When I learn to do that, someone has said they will teach me the more advanced things..
