Maayaa: Not the animation software but the real thing(so to speak)

Continuing from previous post
Maya or Maayaa as I like to write is defined in Wikipedia as:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_(illusion)
Maya (Sanskrit māyā, from mā "not" and yā "this"), in Hinduism, is a term describing many things. Maya is the illusion that the phenomenal world of separate objects and people is the only reality. For the mystics this manifestation is real, but it is a fleeting reality; it is a mistake, although a natural one, to believe that maya represents a fundamental reality. Each person, each physical object, from the perspective of eternity is like a brief, disturbed drop of water from an unbounded ocean. The goal of enlightenment is to understand this—more precisely, to experience this: to see intuitively that the distinction between the self and the universe is a false dichotomy. The distinction between consciousness and physical matter, between mind and body, is the result of an unenlightened perspective.

That was wikipedia definition -am not in total agreement.
According to Nisargadutt Maharaj the phenomenal world (that which we experience as the outside world) is not an illusion but an integral part of ourself in that our sense of presence (that fact that we know we exist) and the phenomenal world can never be separated because it is one and the same - both are interlinked and both arise simultaneously.

This is the Samarasa that Gorakshnath spoke about in his definition of Truth.
What is Maayaa (or Maya) is the sense of differentiation between the phenomenal world and "I". This sense of differentiation arises because we take this "I” to be a person and the world to be the perceived.

Realization is the understanding of this belief to be a fallacy. The realization that this person is a product of the world in which "i" had and still have no role to play. The name was given to "i" by the world. It was told that it was born and it accepts this blatant lie and it is this acceptance which is Maayaa (or Maya).

Astrologically 1st house is this sense of presence and the 7th house is the doorway to the phenomenal world and we have seen above that both are same, we cannot separate the two. This I feel is the reason why the Arudha cannot fall in the 1st and 7th from it.
Also 7th is the house of your conception and your final destination at the end of this life.
