key aspects to penetrating the Veil

[Ankh]

I get the sense that the crystal is not subject to the Veil as my own 3d brain/consciousness is.

And so nor your violet ray:

We may not speak of the violet-ray transfer except to note that it is an opening to the gateway of intelligent infinity. Indeed, the indigo-ray transfer is also this but, shall we say, the veil has not yet been lifted.

See what Ra is hinting at? That when piercing through the violet ray, the veil will be lifted.

But I understand what you mean, I think:

Hence it may be able to access stores of my violet ray that I cannot do while in a 3d body.

this sounds pretty outrageous ... and only the fruit of the experimentation will demonstrate if I am in fantasy land or not

I don't think that you are in the fantasy land. But keep us posted, no matter how it goes!
