As an alternative to the idea of maya, usually translated as illusion, we could use the word mithya meaning a relative reality.

I am always an advocate of keeping platforms and dimensions in there own laws of creation .
This is why what is physical isn't physical in the world of spirit for examples sake .
The tree in the physical is not governed by the same laws as the tree in the world of spirit is and yet they are both trees within experience .
It could be said from each planes perspective that the other is illusory but all that reflects is a comparison of what things are like from different realities .
This is why no self beyond mind cannot be compared to self of the mind .
These comparisons don't work, they were never mean't to be compared in such a way where the person gets tarred with the illusory brush .
