So, what does penetrating the veil truly entail?

I chose the word 'actual' to differentiate my meaning. I think you got that.

I don't think it diminishes the nature of its reality, indeed. The nature of its reality is in fact that it is not actual. The wind is an actual thing. I can blow on my arm and feel it, or turn on a vacuum cleaner and suck objects into it. Light is an actual thing. I can light a match or turn on a flashlight. The spirit is real but it has no actualized form; its manifestation is not a separate being, indeed.

I can not give form to a being. This is what I mean, It isn't there. I just tried it... to amuse you. Nothing. It is this very idea of thinking that these things are actual that I am letting go of. I am not releasing their reality; I am realizing their reality. They are conceptual constructions of the existence that is actual.

Sensory deprivation? Wuh? .... Yes, I would cease to exist with respect to this body's complex that creates an understanding of a word known as "exist". Moreover, the archetypal structure would vanish and there would be no more me. I would be like the odd light spectrum of energy, but I would have no basis to see myself as a self or as anything really.

I have asked painstakingly. They are not actual. This is the very clear answer I have received from persistently asking. The good news is that I can now understand that they need not be actual to understand their real effects and find the actual application derived from this understanding.
