Although I am far from having all the answers to this question, I tend to believe unconsciousness is the primordial way the universe may use know itself; points of views are created from the illusion of separation. That alone seems like one good reason to veil oneself
Also, in response to your earlier post about souls, do you perceive the mind to also be soul, Tanner? When Ra speaks of the mind/body/spirit complex, do you make a distinction between what is mind and what is spirit?
I cannot provide any proof but I can share a personal experience, perhaps: I have experienced a state and memory in meditation which had me without body nor spirit. I experienced a state of pure thought, pure mind - no vessel of any kind. There was no radiance of light even. Additionally, "space" as we term it felt like a vacuum; it was perceived yet was non-existent.
You are free to interpret this as you wish, however I perceive the mind, body and spirit to be different manifestations/abstractions of the one. How do you see it?
