Just for further clearance, I want to break down what you write here:
"Only Maya/ego can respond until you see the game, perceive her tricks... and then she has no power over you."

Maya/ego - all that appears

Only Maya/ego - Thus all that appears can make up stuff, which is anything whatsoever

can - So it doesn't have to, I don't have any evidence it can be any other way, it has always done so, so far

respond - respond to what? It responds on its own accord right? Is there anything it can respond to? It can only be or not be, if there is Truth, separate from Maya, how can it influence Maya? Can it or not influence what Maya is giving?

until you see the game - That would assume there is a you to see a game. A game is being perceived, but whatever choice is made by a "you", it can only further continue the game, since the game is on whatever a "you" is doing.

perceive her tricks - Well there are tricks perceived, but the tricks are always part of anything which appears to be appearing. There is always a catch which grabs the attention. There is no discontinuation possible, since there is always some sort of movement going on with the props in the play.

and then she has no power over you - Simply the perception of tricks does not make the tricks disappear, there is simply the perception of tricks. Thus the power is always in the hands of Maya. There is no on and off switch, there is just On, because Maya can always come up with new tricks.

you. - Which you? The you in the play? Is there a you outside the play? Isn't the concept of a "you" inherently part of a play?

It doesn't seem like there is any way out of the play. I cannot conceptualise any way there could be a way out of the play. There is no answer to that question because there is no evidence of anything other than the play. Even a "going out of the play" is part of the play.

The evidence I've found thus far is that there is no way to go beyond what lies in front of me, which is what appears.

Anyway, further Jed. I wonder if you know anything to get through it, rather than keep on working with it and surface it. It should be apparent, rather than just more useless words, if it is any worth in the pursuit of Truth.
