If I remember correctly, our world is one of/is the first that implements this "veil" that makes us forget who we truly are. What are a few things that you all reckon would have had absolutely no chance of possibly existing in our unique world if we weren't all subjected to spiritual amnesia? The most obvious for me would be...
Black Metal!
Seriously, I'm pretty sure that music whose common themes, drives and focuses are misanthropy/hatred, depression, atheism/satanism/(paganism in some cases), and affiliation with darkness would NEVER have arisen if these dudes all knew that the 'grim kvlt necro blasphemy' they're enacting is preeeetty ironic. Given all of this, this is one thing I'm thankful to the veil for, because some of the most beautiful, epic, emotive moments of music I've heard have been in Black Metal. Doom and Death Metal are up there also, though the former is typically more despair-ridden and the latter generally more gore-oriented. But yeah, I really want to see the looks on every black metallers face when they discover that that same light they have no problem giving the finger to? Yeah. It's right inside of you, dude. 
Black Metal!
