In one way, it's not much of a sacrifice since we gain a much more powerful compass. In another sense it's actually a more real self-sacrifice than the usual meaning of that term. Why? Because with usual self-sacrifice we ourselves decide with our personal willpower what kind of sacrifice to make in specific terms and for what situations. Sacrificing the personal compass on the other hand means giving up that personal control and willpower which makes it more of a true self-sacrifice.
One of the latest videos I watched recently said, that the Universe, (as a whole), is "Consciousness", and viewing from that standpoint, then individual Consciousness are fragments of the "Whole". Similar to a brain and individual cells. There are those that say, that Human Consciousness resides in the Penial Gland. I lean in that direction because it is centered in the middle of the brain, and controlling all other aspects, (the Motherboard), and the "CPU". I agree, the Veil is a self-construction, (which we create). I am searching for a sharp knife to cut the Veil. The Veil is the delusion.
I usually experience consciousness as located in my head. There are also out-of-body experiences (OBEs) that might be real. And then consciousness manifests in the zero-point energy in "empty" space.
Ra said that everything is thought and some spiritual teachers say that everything is consciousness. I think they mean the same thing. My definition is that consciousness is the infinite being aware of the finite manifestation of itself.
Regarding breaking through the veil I think that will happen like how a clock strikes the hour at an exact moment in time for each person, something already predetermined. Why? Because reality is changeless at the fundamental level. If the One reality would change it would turn into something which is it not. Can't happen.
