So, what does penetrating the veil truly entail?

[Ankh]

Going through a state of being with the veil in order to achieve the state of being without the veil. Is this the purpose of the veil?

I think that purposes of the veil are multiple. Ra mentioned that before the veil people (with all the answers in their 'hands' so to speak) still wouldn't polarise, since who would want to leave the edenic living conditions, and so the 3rd density was taking way too long time. They also made an analogy of the veil being like a hidden hand in a poker game, and winning that game is only possible by putting all your cards on the table (meaning among other things unveiling your hand?). Love this analogy! And now Q'uo mention this, among other things that fear is an useful component to this experience. I think that all of these answers can be valid, or 'right', simultaneously, and there are probably more to it as well. There is no one 'right' answer, but several.
