I kept running into the word veil in accounts of density, of past lives, and of a forgetting that begins at birth.
Those accounts do not all mean the same thing. Some speak of a covering of memory between the conscious and the unconscious mind. Some speak of a shield on human DNA, or of veils around the Earth. Some speak of a barrier between a false world and a divine one, or of a happiness that is already present and only hidden by experience.
A short section on the same subject already stands on Dimensions. The density levels around that discussion are on Density.
A forgetting in third density
The Law of One, Book IV is a channeled contact from 1982, spoken as Ra through Carla L. Rueckert, with Don Elkins as the questioner.
Printed page 9 of the foreword, as that book page records it, names a primary discovery of the volume: the veil of forgetting between the conscious and the unconscious mind in our third density. Third densities closer to the center of the galaxy are said not to have had that veil, and so not to have forgotten any event of any incarnation.
In Session 82, 27 March 1982, the book page says the veil is the hinge. Without forgetting, each incarnation would remain in memory, and the archetypical mind would be simpler. With forgetting, catalyst bites, and polarization can go further. Session 83, 5 April 1982, examines the veil as a plan. Session 86, 4 May 1982, treats dreams as one of the planned penetrations of the veil.
The same book page calls the veil of forgetting the reason third density on this planet is harder, and more sharply polarized, than an unveiled third density nearer the galactic center.
A shield on DNA
Telos Volume I is a channeled account, through Aurelia Louise Jones, of the city of Telos beneath Mount Shasta, presented as a remnant of Lemuria. In that account the veil is a shielding of human DNA, put in place so that powers misused in Atlantis and Lemuria could not be used in the same way again.
The shielding of your DNA, “the veil” as it is called, has allowed you to work through your evolution once again from a different viewpoint, without the ability to misuse your powers as happened in the time of Atlantis and Lemuria.

Veils around the Earth
Bringers of the Dawn is a Pleiadian teaching given through Barbara Marciniak. In that account, veils around the Earth were lifted at the time of the Harmonic Convergence, and a greater energy then began to reach people as they could bear it.
Since the veils around Earth were lifted at the time of Harmonic Convergence, you have been steadily beamed with this energy from the outer cosmos, and it is constantly being stepped up and increased as you are able to handle it.

The veil pulled down tightly
The same book says people were retooled, that inherent abilities were unplugged, and that veils of protection were put around the Earth so that this information could not be taken in without the tools to make sense of it. It also says the veil was pulled down tightly so that people would not leave.
The veil for many of you was pulled down very tightly so that you would not flyaway and say, "What am I doing here again? I'm out of here!"

A veil of forgetfulness at birth
Christina Lopes, in a talk on past lives and a veil of forgetting, says a soul does not come to Earth only once, and that most people are born under a covering that hides earlier lives, so the present life can feel new.
For the majority of us, we are born with a veil of forgetfulness.
Christina Lopes. Short excerpt for review and study.
Who created the veil
A Kryon talk, Who Created the Veil?, presents the veil as the separation between the human experience and divine understanding. In that account the veil was not created by a divine entity, but by humans, as part of their experience on Earth. It is said to make free will and duality possible, so that a person can see darkness and light and make a choice.
The same talk says the veil is becoming thinner, and that mastery comes when a person dissolves it completely while remaining human. Crossing the veil, in that account, is a way of connecting with a divine essence.
A falling veil and incoming beings
On Kerry K on the veil and incoming beings, Kerry K tells Michael Sandler’s Inspire Nation what a falling veil would mean. That barrier, she says, kept a false matrix sealed off from a divine one, the side people used to call heaven. In her account, beings she names archons were assigned to hold forgetfulness and density. She ties a long age of darkness to a failed ascent at Atlantis.
Think of the veil as a veil of separation between a realm called the false matrix and a realm called the divine matrix.
Kerry K. Short excerpt for review and study.
As the barrier lifts, she speaks of elemental beings, of dragons that were once physical, and of a larger plasma consciousness. Light beings, she says, will not push in unless invited. Her instruction is to cross the inner barrier now, rather than wait for another earth.
An upcoming event, and the other side of the veil
Tearing Apart the Veil describes a dormant inner force, a possible trigger event, and the claim that human senses now take in only a limited range of light and sound, so that a wider reality stays hidden.
The Soul on the Other Side of the Veil is a conversation with Gabriele about time, parallel lives, and the soul after death. Time, she says, is not a straight line. Past, present, and future occur at once, though a person in a body can only see fragments of them.
A veiled happiness
Rupert Spira, in a talk with André Duqum on the finite mind and a veiled happiness, says the limited mind is built from thought and perception. An inborn happiness is already there, and experience covers it.
Our innate happiness has been veiled by the content of experience.

Before the Veil, in Isis Unveiled
H. P. Blavatsky opened Isis Unveiled, Volume I, in 1877 with a chapter called Before the Veil. The book is a nineteenth-century theosophical study of ancient philosophy, science, and religion. In that opening she turns to Plato for a picture of life in the body as a kind of sleep, or as a cave in which people see only shadows and take them for what is real.
On page xiv she also gives a line about memory of a state before birth.
"The interior spirit has some dim and shadowy recollection of its antenatal state of bliss, and some instinctive and proleptic yearnings for its return."
H. P. Blavatsky, Isis Unveiled, Volume I, Before the Veil, p. xiv

That older language sits beside the later accounts, not in place of them. The later talks use veil for a forgetting in this density, for a shield on the body, or for a barrier that is said to be lifting. Blavatsky, reading Plato, uses the chapter title for the same general problem: a spirit that does not quite remember where it came from.
