The Legend of The Veil of Forgetfulness
Long before the birth of Jesus Christ, there was the Beginning, a time that existed even before the Divine Creator. It is
to the Beginning that all transitioned souls return. Transitioned souls are those who have "retired" from the rebirth
cycle  and now keep watch over the Divine Creator's myriad universes. If they are particularly moved by a situation or
time, they can choose to reincarnate to be of assistance.  In the Beginning, also known as the Time Before God, and
which some might call heaven, souls experience total peace and tranquility.  They feel no remorse, guilt or judgment
as humans are prone to do.  Their past is only a learning tool. The souls are aware of the future, but feel no fear or
anxiety as a result of it. Thus, they can choose to incarnate in very bad situations.  They experience only the present.

The Veil of Forgetfulness is a gift from the Divine Creator to help those who labor for good and yet are called upon to suffer greatly.  It is given to
those few souls who have been reborn many times and are ready to return to the Beginning, but because of miscalculations, or greater opposing
forces, may not have the strength to complete their chosen tasks.  It enables them to endure their suffering long enough to accomplish the task.

A small square of cloth is bestowed on one special person.  She/he becomes the Keeper of the Veil.  The cloth grows in length and width in
proportion to their good works.  Being the Keeper is a trial and an honor.  It can serve as a shorter path to the Beginning, but is fraught with much
danger and suffering.  The cloth is invisible to those not endowed with "sight."  An essential component of being chosen to be a Keeper is the
ability to recognize others endowed with this ability.  When the Keeper has collected a total of seven worthy souls, all, through their good works,
will be allowed to return to the Beginning.  If the cloth falls into the hand of those who are evil, the seven will be forced to reincarnate many,
many times with the opposite benefits of the cloth, before they are at last free.  

If the tasks of the seven are completed and they transition back to the Beginning, the total amount of cloth that they
have "grown" through their good deeds remains on earth to help many more people.  If they do not succeed, the cloth
goes back to its original small fragment and the process continues.  The cloth will be found by a Seer and then given to
the proper Keeper.  Through this process there are always old, wise souls returning to earth to provide man with good,
hope, and guidance.
