You'd have to ask him, but I think he means everything within our limited perception is an illusion.

Maybe, although I wish he'd just say that in that case.  Also, again I don't know why he'd be talking about perception when we're talking about concepts.  We don't perceive concepts (perception having a connotation that we're receiving external information: we perceive via our five senses).

Anyway, it's almost impossible to get clear, straightforward responses from him.  For one, because he insists on reading a whole host of other stuff into anything you ask or say, so that he figures there's always some sneaky, ulterior motive, so that if he'd agree with anything or be straightforward, he's going to undermine his own view.

There are no limitations Terrapin, only those which we place on ourselves. You appear to constantly be arguing for yours. Why is that? 

I have commented many times on here that it is ALL illusion, even what we perceive as reality. The only way out of the suffering of life, is to start recognizing this. This is about having self-awareness, and that there is no "self". You appear too busy attempting to compartmentalize and intellectualize things, and undermining my view because of your own pride and limitations. You want me to undermine my own view, by projecting yours onto me, when it is not as open or aware. It's like setting traps and not born out of honesty or truth.   

Perception\belief\concepts, are all born out of the ego mindset and are all one and the same. They are not real. That is what you fail to connect with and are too caught up in your dualistic notion\outlook. No-one is going to think any less of you, if start to let go and stop feeling so needy to sound impressive.
