I'm familiar with that optical illusion; I was even considering using it in a video or blog post.
I'm not sure that you can do it without masking--your brain's sight center will fight you every step of the way. But I wonder if anyone actually could, and if they could if it would be more of a crutch than an asset (maybe the ability to see the squares the same would cause one to miss similarities in patterns due to shading differences--I don't know)

after much practice I can bring myself to see the squares as the same color. The three dimensional nature of the figure falls away and it is just patches of color... i.e. A no longer seems to be "behind" in the figure.

OK, I figured that something had to be sacrificed in order to see the squares the same.
I believe that our tendency to be fooled by optical illusions and pareidolia should not be viewed so much as a shortfall, but rather as a necessary artifact of the way we perceive things (ex. -- our brains' ability to build 3D models from "2D sensory input")

absolutely... it's why we understand so many different accents and pronounciations and percieve the word the "same" when for a computer it's very difficult as the sound data itself is obviously always unique, even for the same speaker saying the "same" word. Furthermore, everytime we deduce a three dimensional world from a two dimensional photo or tv, etc, we are embracing the way these "illusions" work... we want that illusion and actually it matches better to reality than to percieve...

a picture as "just" a piece of paper that happens to have patterns on it. We couldn't watch TV if we could not accept the illusion (that it's a scene we are watching) as more meaningful than the reality (that's it's just a two dimensional surface with color patches.
