Lifting the Veils of Illusion
with William Meader
Mondays, 7:00 – 8:15 p.m. CST
March 1 – March 22 (4 classes)
Enlightenment occurs when the many Veils of Illusion have been recognized and lifted from within ourselves. Without realizing it, these veils subtly distort our day-to-day perceptions. For example, desire veils the experience of higher love, intellect will often veil wisdom, and our perception of time tends to veil the existence of the Eternal Now. Yet when these distortions are transcended, an individual’s consciousness will invariably expand. We then begin to see reality anew.
In this four-part class, we will explore the many veils that prevent us from more fully living the life of Spirit. From this, we will examine how consciousness is changed when each veil is lifted, and the methods used to accomplish this. Specifically, participants will learn:
- The nature and origin of the Veils of Illusion, and how they shroud reality
- How the personality creates various veils that block the light of the Soul
- How one’s natal chart reveals various astrological distortions of perception
- Several methods for lifting the Veils of Illusion
- How transcending various veils is preparatory to Spiritual Initiation

Mysticism, in any of its expositions, is transformative. It invites us to move from intellectual knowing into the direct intuition or experience of the Divine – in any way we may conceive it. It is an intimate and heartfelt encounter with a spiritual reality that is hidden from normal awareness but yet available to everyone. In this class we will draw on the perceptions of renowned Christian mystics of past and present, including Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, Thomas Merton and Bernadette Roberts. Inspired by the power of their piercing intellects and awakened hearts, we will dive into a mystery that transcends words and form but remains accessible in daily living. 
Join Mescalero Apache teacher Billie Topa Tate for a special wisdom-sharing class covering the Native teachings of the crystal kingdom. So many of us are drawn to crystals, gems and stones and may even have intuitive feelings about some of them. Learn about the legends and wisdom regarding the heavenly crystal kingdom which is known to harness light and even help elevate our meditation practice.
Dreams can bring forth the depths of our ancestry, our deep wisdom, and our archetypes. They can help us function between the waking world and the dream world, allowing us to move freely in both. Learning the messages coming from the dream world is very important to understanding our healing journey. We will use Jungian and Theosophical dream research to help you learn to interact with your own dreams and to develop awareness while in a dream.
