I guess where I see the biggest limitation of words is when we really try to describe the final state, to define reality in its totality. But I do enjoy the game of attempting to understand the process of manifestion and the human condition (among other things). Playing in maya is playing in "illusion" to the extent that we are only experiencing a scintilla of the absolute, but I would never declare this experience of individuality unreal or nonexistent. It is a true and valid form of experience, part and parcel of Reality itself.
It seems to me that all of the big paradoxes of western philosophy that I have encountered stem from Aristotlian logic, especially the law of excluded middle: A OR not-A. Free-will OR determinism. Could it not be in special cases A and not-A? A glass is half full and half empty. A statement and its opposite are both true. Instead of choosing one or the other, or denying both for that matter, we embrace both. From a non-temporal/spacial reference (universal consciousness) the cosmos (including all physical, mental, subtle planes) is witnessed in totality, beyond time succession or simultaneity and spacial seperation.
Now what I think is really interesting (essentially because the above is impossible to accurately percieve or understand in our present condition) is when you consider this "illusory"(in the sense of being partial) experience of individuality hemmed in by space and time and other limitations. First consider how responsible you are for generating your own thoughts. Upon closely examining the thinking process I have found it impossible to declare myself the creator of my own thoughts. It seems more like they simply appear and I identify them as mine. Since it is thought that leads to action (deciding to act on a thought is another thought) then my ego, this little me, is not responsible for its thoughts or actions, hence we have determinism.
Now here comes the twist. If thought is considered to be a contracton of consciousness "bubbling up" from the well-spring of universal consciousness within us, and we are, in Reality, that well-spring, then we do create our thoughts and act on them. A AND not-A.
This may all be a bunch of s h i t but let me know what you think. Its an interesting point of view, that minus the concept of an individual, free-will and determinism cease to even be issues. Maybe that is essentially what I just put into so many (too many?) words.
