What if you could remember everything, good and bad, from your previous lifetimes? It's overwhelming to think about. Sure, there's the warmhearted and kind stuff, but what about all the wars, the starvation, the lynchings? Would you want to remember all of that? Probably not.
This is where the “Veil of Forgetfulness” comes in. We accept this Veil prior to rebirth so that we are unencumbered and can have free will. We can make choices, and experience the consequences of those choices. We don't have to remember everything. We come into each life with a clean slate of memories and start each life with a fresh opportunity to create the life we want.
The Veil stands between our conscious mind in our physical body, and the non-physical world. The Veil is not physical. It is a mismatch at the interface where different frequencies meet. In the physical world, we vibrate at a certain frequency. On the other side, the vibrational frequency is much higher. Even though we can be in the same room with our ancestors and Spirit Guides, we don't see them because they are vibrating at a higher frequency than we can pick up. This has been likened to watching fan blades rotate. When they rotate slowly, you see them, but when the fan is at full speed, it is difficult to see the individual blades.
Some people can raise their frequencies (mainly through meditation) so they can interact with souls and Guides who vibrate at higher frequencies. Other times, Spirit Guides can lower their frequencies so they can communicate with people in physical bodies who move at a slower vibration. The Veil is not solid. It allows some energy and information to flow between the sides.
Why is it important to have a separation between the physical world and the non-physical world? On The Other Side, we see the long arc of our soul growth. We understand what we need to physically experience each lifetime on Earth so that we can continue along this arc. We see the big picture. We plan the outlines of our incarnations.
On Earth, we live through the things we have chosen to experience so that we learn and grow. At first, most of us don't realize that there is another side, an invisible support system in which we live. If we knew what we were here to do, we wouldn't be challenged to figure it out. We wouldn't explore multiple avenues until we found the road which felt just right; the activities which brought us joy, and allowed us to grow through exploration.
Of course, there are hints as to what we came into a body to do and to learn. We may meet people and have a surprising, visceral response. We may not understand why we feel the way we do. This could be a past life reflex or something Karmic. Or, we could travel somewhere and find it oddly familiar - a clue that previous lifetimes exist.
I've often thought it would make life easier if we knew why we were here. In some ways, this knowledge would streamline our activities. However, in other ways, we might be so overwhelmed by all the information from our past lives, that we felt immobilized. It’s too much to know.
Without the Veil, there would be no mystery. We would see that we are eternal. We wouldn't feel the pressure of eventual death, of time running out, of the need to "get it done now." In life, we have a literal dead-line to accomplish whatever growth we are going to achieve.
In addition, the veil allows privacy. I don't want everyone on Earth knowing my business, who I am, and our Karmic connection. I don't want to connect with my deceased relatives daily. I don't need to hear opinions from The Other Side on my activities. Too much static.
People who are sensitive have told me that "The Veil is lifting." Until recently, I had hoped that was the case. I wanted to see The Other Side. Then, I heard the explanation of what it would be like if there was no Veil. We would remember all the injustices and horrors of previous lifetimes. We would carry grudges against people who had harmed or killed us in those lifetimes. And they would carry grudges against us. Who wants that?!
So, I don’t want all the memories, but I do want some sense of connection. Sometimes, I can feel energy crossing the Veil. I think that the love I feel for someone on The Other Side reaches them. I think that they can love us too. When we feel them beam love to us, we know that love crosses the Veil in our direction.
The Veil shields us from too much knowledge, but allows some of love and information to flow through. The system works.
