Maya is the split between reality and out perception of it. If you 
see matter as solid, when science tells you it is really vacuous, 
then that is maya. If you see an apple as red, when science tells 
you xolo r does not exist outside our consciousness, that is maya.

Time and space, existing as they do only in consciousness, would have 
to be considered maya ehrhther people agree on the length of time 
elapsed or not.

One thing that is not plain to me is whether maya includes only 
illusions (which have to do with perceptions) or if it also 
encompasses delusions, such as the notion that there is a permanent 
and subsisting self. In psychology a distinction is made between IL-
lusion and DE-lusion.
