In the Ra material, the veil denotes that which separates man’s conscious from the subconscious. In specific, this includes the relative lack of access to past life memories.
The veil, as Ra puts it, intensifies polarization in third density. In other words, having to act based on ambiguous data and without the benefit of lifetimes of experience of direct sight into the metaphysical orientation of others strengthens the soul. If all were seen, one would not act on faith and develop the internal consistency and commitment needed for this. Knowledge acquired through deciphering the world seen through a veil and acting on this inherently uncertain data is more valuable in soul terms than knowledge which is simply read, as from an open book.
