Episode Summary: The Three Veils and Seven Imbalances of the Mind, Part 2 (Pages 60-66)
In this episode, we are discussing The Three Veils, found in The Freedom Transmissions chapter The Three Veils and Seven Imbalances of the Mind. If you haven’t yet listened to the last episode on the Seven Imbalances of the Mind, be sure to go back and start there.
Understanding the Three Veils is essential, as they provide deeper insight into the origins of the Seven Imbalances. When we know how these distortions developed, we gain clarity on how to restore balance and move toward freedom.
This is The Three Veils.
The Three Veils: The Root of Separation
As we learned, the Seven Imbalances are distorted lenses of perception—false beliefs about who we are. They are illusions of separation from the Divine.
The Three Veils represent this separation, and they create the distorted lenses through which we experience reality.
For some, these Veils are thick, keeping them deeply unconscious. For others, who are integrating light and shadow into balance, the Veils are nearly transparent.
By understanding the Three Veils, we can begin lifting them, allowing for clarity and deeper peace.
The Three Veils
1. The Veil of Separation
This Veil is the root of the belief that we are separate from the Divine, creating a deep sense of isolation, shame, and fear.
How it expresses itself:
Feeling unworthy of love or connection
Experiencing deep shame, guilt, and self-judgment
Isolating from others or suffering in silence
Fear of rejection and failure
How to begin lifting this Veil:
Trust in the unseen. Shift focus from what is visible and external to the deeper truth of connection.
Engage in practices that strengthen your faith. Meditate, journal, and commune with nature.
Release limiting beliefs about who you are supposed to be.
When this Veil lifts: You begin to feel and know yourself as One—not as someone separate, but Some of the One.
2. The Veil of Polarity
This Veil leads to perceiving reality in extremes—black and white, good and bad, right and wrong. It prevents us from embracing the complexity and balance of existence.
How it expresses itself:
Emotional swings between joy and despair
Defensiveness, judgment, and blame
Seeking conflict or dangerous situations
Being trapped in an “us vs. them” mindset
How to begin lifting this Veil:
Embrace duality. Recognize that both light and shadow are essential for balance.
Practice witnessing rather than reacting. Observe without immediate judgment.
Synchronize with natural rhythms. Honor cycles of creation and destruction, expansion and contraction.
When this Veil lifts: You can hold space for both light and shadow without polarization. You begin to experience the full spectrum of reality without judgment.
3. The Veil of Complacency
This Veil keeps us stagnant, avoiding truth and resisting change. It’s the illusion that staying the same is safer than evolving.
How it expresses itself:
Resistance to change, even when the heart longs for transformation
Feelings of boredom, stuckness, and malaise
Fear-based procrastination—waiting until suffering forces a shift
Rigid beliefs that prevent growth
How to begin lifting this Veil:
Be open to new perspectives. Let go of attachment to what you think you know.
Take conscious action. Growth requires participation—step into your transformation.
Honor both creation and destruction. Change is part of the natural flow of life.
When this Veil lifts: You reclaim your sovereignty and step into your full creative power. You take charge of your transformation and align with Divine Will.
Moving Toward Balance and Clarity
Lifting the Veils is about choosing faith over fear. The more we dissolve these illusions, the more we realign with truth, peace, and love.
Reflection:
Which of the Three Veils do you feel most present in your life?
What is one step you can take to begin dissolving it?
