Since the harvest relates to the veil essentially, I thought these statements might be useful..
In 100.7 we see that no matter how much inner-transformation takes place upon the level of the mind, the veil will still be present. And in 97.10 it's suggested that the body be used to perform a service. No matter how much is learned or known, it essentially means nothing unless you're working practically to create some sort of change by way of giving, which is healing. I also think that's how we teach essentially..through giving and our response to interactions with other-selves. Compassionate response to catalyst is a, or we could say the, teaching. Because it's not so much what we teach verbally to each other, but how we treat each other. It's tricky though because you unless you aren't providing wisdom where it may seem useful, or when someone seems to be asking for it, commonly held values are hard to achieve without sharing of information. Metaphysically oriented information seems to be least important, but rather the need to open the heart and forgive and the ways in which one learns how to do that seems to be where the focus is needed. I think specifics can lead to absorption, whereas radiating light is done through compassionate response on the level of the needs of the other-self.
So it would seem that if you want to lift the veil higher, it is done through the function of some kind of service. Even so, in 42.7 it's said that this service may not create noticeable effects on a large scale.
The hallmark of "piercing the veil" is clearing the indigo center for contact with intelligent infinity, and in 44.13 Ra states Don can do this. Yet he was living a rather normal life, and in 83.18 it's said that we can only expect the veil to be dismantled to a greater or lesser extent.
So I see no reason to worry. I recently posted the following in another thread. I like the story Ram Dass tells of when he asked his guru how to get closer to God, and he replies "Feed people". A pretty poignant response. I think that sums everything up..serve people. Ultimately that's all there is to it. Make use of your body. I'm working on it myself.
Quote:100.7 As one observes the veil of the image of the Great Way of Mind it may be helpful to ideate using the framework of environment. The Great Way of Mind, Body, or Spirit is intended to limn the milieu within which the work of mind, body, or spirit shall be placed.
Thusly, the veil is shown both somewhat lifted and still present, since the work of mind and its transformation involves progressive lifting of the great veil betwixt conscious and deep minds. The complete success of this attempt is not properly a portion of third-density work and, more especially, third-density mental processes.
Quote:97.10 O student, you have grasped the barest essence of the nature of the Significator’s complete envelopment within the rectangle. Consider for the self, O student, whether your thoughts can walk. The abilities of the most finely honed mentality shall not be known without the use of the physical vehicle which you call the body. Through the mouth the mind may speak. Through the limbs the mind may effect action.
Quote:42.7 On the other hand, however, you are correct in your assumption that the green ray response is not as refined as that which has been imbued with wisdom. This wisdom enables the entity to appreciate its contributions to the planetary consciousness by the quality of its being without regard to activity or behavior which expects results upon visible planes.
Quote:83.18 The penetration of the veil may be seen to begin to have its roots in the gestation of green-ray activity, that all-compassionate love which demands no return. If this path is followed the higher energy centers shall be activated and crystallized until the adept is born. Within the adept is the potential for dismantling the veil to a greater or lesser extent that all may be seen again as one. The other-self is primary catalyst in this particular path to the piercing of the veil, if you would call it that.
Quote:44.13 Your experience was a function of your ability to contact intelligent infinity.
