Why the veil?

[Nicholas]

The veil creates the illusion of separation, between our minds and our bodies, us and each other, and the Creator.

The individual I is the greatest illusion. Insofar as I understand, it is the illusion out of which "the world" (the world of manyness, and separate forms) arises. Eliminate the illusory, separate sense of self, and illusion disappears.

I have to wonder, then, how strong or weak was the sense of a separate, individual self was in pre-veiled conditions. Ra draws the metaphor of the umbilical cord - an obvious and tangle connection from part to whole, child to mother, creation to Creator - and goes on to say that for those pre-veiled entities there was an "overwhelming awareness of the Creator in the self."

Whatever their individual personality make-ups in the Edenic pre-veiled life where every bed was a Tempur-pedic, they must have been very transparent. The One must have shone through easily, clearly, and radiantly. Though, as you mention and quote, they were not particularly motivated to move beyond their present existence. The grapes were always cold, crisp, and perfect to be overly worried about much else.

You quoted:

83.16 Questioner: What techniques and methods of penetration of the veil were planned and are there any others that have occurred other than those planned?

Ra: I am Ra. There were none planned by the first great experiment. As all experiments, this rested upon the nakedness of hypothesis. The outcome was unknown. It was discovered, experientially and empirically, that there were as many ways to penetrate the veil as the imagination of mind/body/spirit complexes could provide.

Such a strange thing, the veil. The Logos literally changes the rules of the game. And not just some minor tweaks, either! The landscape was fundamentally transformed. Ra likened it to the mantling of the Earth. New archetypes were articulated. And all knowledge was seemingly lost or, for all intents and purposes, unavailable.

But the Logos doesn't send a memo out to the participants in the game. "Umm, heads up everyone, from now on you will have a terrible fear of death that will hide lurking behind a million other fears, you will not have control over a great deal of the functioning of your body complex and will puzzle as to why it hurts/looks that way/smells/is malfunctioning/doesn't look like that other person's body, you will no longer remember past lives or much of anything for that matter including what you did yesterday, you and your collective will create any number of perceptions and justify them accordingly but have little to no objective standard against which to evaluate whether you're enlightened or speaking from your rear orifice (or out of whatever part of the body we design your you know what to discharge from), you will get so confused that you'll actually attack and hate and seek to dominate YOUR SELF in other (seeming) participants in the game, speaking of confusion you'll just be confused - period, and . . . yeah, you'll pretty much have to work it out yourselves. You'll have guidance, of course, but good luck trying to remember that it's available to you, or whether you've actually received it or are just hearing an echo chamber inside."

New entities were quite literally born into the confines of the experiment with the bold new rules with no knowledge, at least on the incarnate side of the game, of what the purpose, point, or parameters of the environment were. They had free reign to create whatever sort of world they wanted, with as many layers of distortions as they could dream up, or blindly, recklessly crash into. (It's interesting to think that distortion can proceed endlessly. A second distortion building from the first. A third deepening the second. A fourth further distorting the first three. etc. What wild worlds we can create.)

And into each entity's lap was placed a grand puzzle or riddle that each had subjectively to work through for themselves, incarnation after incarnation.

In attempting to answer the great question, they could raise the vibratory rate of their consciousness sufficiently to polarize and graduate from the heavily veil conditions of third density to continue the adventure in the succeeding level of consciousness; but if they could figure out who, actually, was asking the question in the first place, they could grasp the master key and dismantle the veil altogether.

At any rate, I thought this was going to be a short reply. My apologies. : )
