Author's Note: This article is an excerpt from my upcoming book, "The Circle of Grace, Frequency & Physicality." I couldn't wait to share this piece with you, since it explains so much about how our energetic bodies truly work and why our lessons keep coming back to us. The more we understand, the more progress we make! Bright Blessings to All, Edna G. Frankel.

Greetings, dear ones, from the Brotherhood of Light. We are the Order of Melchizedek, spiritual guardians of the earth and humanity. We prefer that you think of us as your doting Brothers! Our mission, our dedication to the Divine Plan is helping you to gracefully evolve. To that end, we would like to share with you an aspect of your energetic "wiring" that has been, up until now, beyond your framework of reference. This has to do with the Veil of Forgetfulness, where it is and how it functions.

We will begin by asking you, dear reader, a question. Have you ever wondered where the Veil of Forgetfulness actually is? For most people, this is one of many metaphysical concepts that sounds good, makes sense, but they do not "see" any logical or physical proof that it exists. Of course, since the Veil is what keeps your duality firmly in place and keeps you separate from conscious connection to Spirit, one could argue that you aren't supposed to see it! Yes, all well and good, but it puts the Veil back into the conceptual-theoretical arena and removes it from your actual day-to-day existence.

The Veil of Forgetfulness is not an amorphous concept, nor is it a puffy wall beyond the horizon that you will encounter if you walk far enough (chuckles.) If the Veil is supposed to keep 3D duality fixed and keep your sensory level limited, did you ever wonder why each person attains a heightened vibration in their own time, in their own way? If the Veil were the same for everyone (i.e. affected each person the same way), wouldn't everyone be making the same progress at the same time? Yes, if the Veil were fixed in your dimension outside of your bodies, you would all respond the same way.

Getting clear yet? Each person has their very own Veil of Forgetfulness, built into their chakra system. When we say, "The way up is within" and "The kingdom of God is inside you" we are speaking literally! Your Higher Self connection is the eighth chakra link between the Eternal You and the temporarily physical you. Up until now, this connection has been like a one-way mirror, keeping you unaware that you are linked to levels of yourself beyond your physical core.

We ask you to see the eighth chakra as the "outer skin" of your dense etheric body, like a big balloon of energy encompassing you in all directions. Picture this membrane to be twelve inches above your head and the same twelve inches below your feet. Now, we stated earlier that Crown and Root are your two vertical chakras pointing up and down, while the horizontal chakras two through six each has an energy vortex front and back, linked by a thin tube through the body. Well, the two vertical chakras, Root and Crown, each have a second vortex, too!
Picture the top aspect of the eighth chakra pointing down towards your head - it provides the incoming energy for your Crown chakra! Now picture the downward-pointing Root chakra, and place the bottom of the eighth chakra below it facing up - that is the energetic vortex mate to Root, which feeds you back clean, green earth energy to keep you grounded! There is your full "as above, so below" connection to the cosmos!

In some holistic teachings, the eighth chakra has been named your Soul Star/Earth Star connection. Within the neck of the eighth chakra, within each flower pointing down to crown from above and also pointing up to feet from below, is a little golden filter. The filter above your crown controls how much universal energy, and what frequency, the body can handle incoming at any given time. Since your meridian system is built with a "circuit-breaker" around the head to protect the crown chakra from internal pressure backing up, the crown also needs a way to release pressure. The golden filter above the crown, in addition to feeding universal energy into your energetic system, also reverses to release excess pressure from the crown chakra.

The golden filter below your feet (in the bottom part of the eighth chakra pointing up to root) acts as a drain for all the excess pressure released from your body, and also determines how much earth energy incoming your body can handle. Yes, each filter has a dual purpose in different directions, acting as pressure release valves for the seven-chakra system held within the energetic circle of the eighth chakra.

Now, how do these interactions take place? How does the eighth chakra know the "light-density quotient" of each of the lower chakras? Ah, the beauty of your design leaves us in awe. Look to the mate of the eighth chakra. In earlier text, we stated that the sixth chakra, your Third Eye, has a "physical monitoring connection" to each of the other six chakras. What does that mean? The sixth chakra is constantly reading (its own and) the energy levels of the other chakras, and relaying that information to its mate, the eighth. Based on those energy readings, the eighth chakra adjusts its internal filters accordingly. Is it not amazingly simple?

Yes, where the Veil is and what it does are both simple enough to explain, but how the Veil filters actually work is beyond the purview of this text. We will add, however, that your eighth chakra intimately knows how the rest of you is doing at the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. Thus Higher Self constantly knows the specifics of where you are blocked, and what still needs to be learned. Even if a person is physically healthy, they still need to clear their emotional, mental and spiritual "etheric baggage" (i.e. 3D low-density pressure pockets) from their auras. The lessons they draw to themselves in life keep recurring because they are magnetizing that specific vibratory level of lesson to them. That frequency level is controlled by the eighth chakra, based upon the vibratory health of the internal seven chakras. People in victim mode, for example, keep attracting victim lessons until they heighten their vibration beyond that band and no longer need to attract that level of lesson.

So, how are these vibrations emitted and received? Higher Self will patiently guide you through your lessons, over and over, until your spiritual homework has been accomplished. All of those "lesson vibrations" that bounce back and forth between people (to cause drama and stimulate learning) occur because you are unconscious transmitters. You don't realize how much you are energetically broadcasting, all the time! Whether it be emotions from the emotional layer or repeating loops in the mental layer, most people are stuck in one or both modes. That is one reason that our teachings include gaining control of your thoughts and emotions. Not only is unconscious broadcasting a huge energy drain, it constantly reinforces the very things you are trying to release, due to the Universal Law of Attraction.

Dear ones, once you learn how to clear the pockets of 3D density you all carry in your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual layers, your vibratory rise will be guaranteed. Once you learn how to stop "feeding" those pockets and start clearing them instead, you will feel better, accomplish more, and improve the quality of your lives. The Veil of Forgetfulness lies within you, each person carries their own. That is why ascension is such an individual process. That is also how your new generations are coming in enhanced, they have thinner Veil filters than you were born with. In order to resonate with and blend with the higher energies, we have been teaching you how to clear your aura and physical core of excess internal pressure that holds you back in the density of the third dimension.

Do you see now, dear one, why you need a daily practice? Do you see why reading and learning metaphysical concepts only takes you part way to your goal? The clearer your meridian system, the more "light" you can hold. The higher your light-density quotient, the thinner your Veil filters become - at the physical level. That is where your etheric layers, your senses, systems and body parts are all "wired together." In order to be able to manifest anything at the material 3D level, you must do it from a higher level: the 5D level, the level of union between all chakras.

Once you clear and balance your seven internal chakras enough to blend fully into the vibratory resonance of the eighth chakra, you achieve a unity, or unified chakra field, that becomes All One Chakra. Yes, once you are fully integrated at this level, you will have full conscious charge of your "light-density" quotient. You will know exactly when you need to clear, what and where from; you will know when you need to recharge yourself. You will understand and practice Care and Maintenance of the Aura.

To those of you worried about your "light-density quotient," what the specific numbers are and what they mean, we say, "Stop worrying about it! Stop wasting energy in that direction!" You would have to have a strong working knowledge of sacred geometry to fully understand how this process works and what each gradient means. Ultimately, that knowledge will not serve you unless you know how to apply it. The Veil is one of many systems you have built into your body that are autonomous. Would you want to be in full conscious charge of your digestion? Of your hormonal levels? Of your bone-marrow production? That level of body awareness would only interfere with your current life. If you just focus on diligently clearing your nervous system of pressure and re-energizing when you feel the need, your PEMS body layers will rebalance themselves!

Once you have cleared enough internal pressure to lift your dense etheric body into a higher energetic band-width, what happens then? You merge with your Soul Purpose chakra, dear one. Higher Self blends with you by adjusting your golden filters so that all eight energy centers become One vibration. You expand beyond the Veil of Forgetfulness, which you no longer need to keep you blindly focused on the 3D game of earthly life. Yes, you become a truly interdimensional being. Once your chakra system expands into full integration at the eighth level, you won't be reading our channeled words any more, dear precious human, you will be conversing with us directly!

We so look forward to that time, as we cheer and support you along your own individual climb. Remember that your ascension process may be personal, but your metaphysical journey is enhanced by like-minded friends along the way. Help each other, work on each other, support each other, and please remember the 3 R's: Rest, release, and recharge!
