As a Game Plan practitioner, one of the most profound aspects of our work is guiding individuals to uncover their true selves. This transformative process involves pulling back two significant veils that obscure our deeper essence and purpose. By understanding these veils and the illusions they create, we begin a journey of self-discovery that leads to a more aligned, purposeful, and fulfilling life.
The First Veil: The Illusion of Ego Needs
The first veil, known as the Veil of Paraketh, hides our soul’s desires. Until this veil is lifted, we often live under the illusion that our ego—the part of us focused on what we sense, feel, and think—is everything. This creates a false self, one consumed by external validation, material desires, and societal expectations.
But this is an illusion. Our true self is not what we do or achieve, nor is it what we think or feel—it is the observer of these things, existing beyond the ego. Pulling back this veil often happens during a moment of crisis or awakening, such as a mid-life crisis, or what Dr Wayne Dyer aptly called “The Shift.”
This shift reveals that there’s more to life than the external—the soul yearns for something deeper, something authentic. For many, this awakening can be unsettling, as it challenges long-held beliefs and comforts. But it is also the gateway to living a life that honours your soul’s desires.
The Second Veil: Discovering Values and Purpose
The second veil, the Veil of the Abyss, hides divine Wisdom and Will—your values and your purpose. When this veil is lifted, it becomes clear that we are here to use our talents to serve others, aligned with what we truly value. This is where we find not just meaning, but a sense of divine connection and direction.
For some, this revelation can be overwhelming. The ego may resist, manifesting as fear or even anger. Why? Because the ego fears the deep connection between the ego and the soul, worried it might lose its control.
As Game Plan practitioners, we don’t push or persuade. This is your journey to take. Our role is to hold space for your growth, providing a framework for you to navigate these profound shifts with clarity and courage.
Understanding the Illusion
This concept of “illusion” isn’t new. Across spiritual traditions, including Hermetics, the idea of the Illusion represents the barriers that cloud our perception of truth. It’s not just about worldly misunderstandings but a deeper sense of disconnection from the divine source.
The Illusion feeds on:
- Duality: Seeing the world in opposites—good versus evil, light versus dark. In truth, all things are interconnected and stem from the same source.
- Materialism: Believing that what we see and touch is all there is. In reality, the material is a shadow of the spiritual.
- Ego: Identifying with roles, possessions, or achievements instead of the essence of who we are.
These constructs keep us trapped, creating separation and reinforcing the idea that we are alone in the universe. But pulling back the veils reveals a deeper truth: unity, connection, and the divine play of life.
Life Beyond the Veils
Lifting these veils is not about escaping the world but engaging with it from a higher perspective. When we see beyond the Illusion, life transforms:
- Clarity in Purpose: Your talents and values align with your actions, leading to a fulfilling, purpose-driven life.
- Inner Peace: Challenges no longer feel like insurmountable obstacles but opportunities for growth.
- Authenticity: You act from your true self, unshaken by external judgments or expectations.
- Empowered Living: You’re no longer easily swayed by fear or manipulation, instead guided by wisdom and intuition.
The Journey Ahead
This process isn’t easy—it requires courage, patience, and a willingness to face discomfort. But as you begin to see beyond the Illusion, you unlock the potential for profound transformation. The Game Plan provides a structured approach to support this journey, helping you uncover your true self and step into your fullest potential.
As practitioners, we are here to guide, but the work is yours to do. It is a path that leads not only to personal fulfilment but to living as a beacon of possibility, inspiring others to embark on their own journeys.
Final Thoughts
The veils are not barriers but invitations—calls to awaken to the deeper truths of who you are and why you’re here. As you pull them back, layer by layer, you’ll find not chaos but a beautiful, interconnected tapestry of meaning, love, and purpose.
This is the work of the Game Plan: to reveal the whole of you, empowering you to live a life of alignment, authenticity, and abundance. It’s not about fixing or changing who you are but about uncovering the truth that’s been within you all along.
Are you ready to take the first step? Let’s begin the journey together.
Frequently Asked Questions About Revealing Your True Self
1. What are the veils you’re talking about?
The veils refer to two metaphorical layers that obscure your deeper self. The first veil, called the Veil of Paraketh, hides your soul’s true desires, making you focus on ego-driven needs instead. The second veil, the Veil of the Abyss, hides your divine wisdom (your values) and divine will (your purpose).
These veils represent the illusions we often live within—identifying with what’s external instead of tapping into who we truly are. Lifting these veils helps you connect with your authentic self and align your life with what truly matters.
2. Why is the first veil linked to a mid-life crisis or “The Shift”?
A mid-life crisis or “The Shift” is often when we begin to question the path we’re on. You might feel like the things you’ve achieved or pursued no longer bring fulfilment.
This is the first veil being challenged—it’s your soul’s way of saying, “There’s more to life than this.” When the veil lifts, you start recognising that the external (ego-driven needs) isn’t enough. It’s a turning point, inviting you to explore your inner desires and live more authentically.
3. How does the Game Plan help lift these veils?
The Game Plan is a structured framework that helps you identify and align with your soul’s desires, values, and purpose. It’s not about telling you who you are but providing tools and guidance so you can discover these truths for yourself.
By working with a Game Plan practitioner, you gain clarity on:
- What truly matters to you (your values).
- How to use your unique talents to serve others (your purpose).
- How to shift from ego-driven goals to soul-aligned actions.
It’s a step-by-step process designed to support your journey at your own pace, with compassion and understanding.
4. What if I feel scared or overwhelmed by this process?
It’s completely normal to feel scared or even resistant. The ego often clings to the familiar, even if it’s not serving you, because change can feel threatening.
Remember, this journey is about self-discovery, not pressure or perfection. Take it one step at a time. As Game Plan practitioners, we’re here to support you, but the journey is yours to own. You don’t need to have it all figured out right away—just being open to exploring is a powerful first step.
5. What benefits can I expect from lifting these veils?
When you lift the veils, you’ll gain:
- Clarity: You’ll understand your true desires, values, and purpose.
- Confidence: Acting in alignment with your authentic self removes doubt and fear.
- Fulfilment: Living according to what truly matters brings a sense of peace and joy.
- Resilience: You’ll feel more grounded and capable of navigating life’s challenges.
This process doesn’t just help you grow—it transforms the way you experience and engage with the world.
6. Why does the ego resist this process?
The ego thrives on control and separation—it’s tied to roles, achievements, and external validation. When you start to challenge these constructs, the ego feels threatened. It may respond with fear, doubt, or even anger as it tries to maintain its grip.
But here’s the truth: the ego isn’t your enemy. It’s simply a part of you that’s scared of change. With time and self-awareness, you can reassure the ego and integrate it into a healthier relationship with your soul.
7. Is this journey for everyone?
Anyone seeking deeper meaning, clarity, and connection in their life can benefit from lifting these veils. That said, the journey is deeply personal. It requires a willingness to explore uncomfortable truths and let go of limiting beliefs.
If you’re ready to embrace this kind of self-discovery, the Game Plan can help you navigate the process with structure, guidance, and support.
8. How do I get started?
Getting started is simple. Reach out to a Game Plan practitioner for a discovery session. We’ll walk you through the process, answer your questions, and help you decide if this journey is right for you.
There’s no pressure—this is about giving you the tools and support you need to explore your true self at your own pace.
9. What if I don’t feel ready yet?
That’s okay! Self-discovery is a journey, not a race. Sometimes, just planting the seed of curiosity is enough for now. Take your time to reflect, read, and explore. When you feel ready, the Game Plan will be here to guide you.
10. Why should I trust the Game Plan?
The Game Plan isn’t about imposing answers or pushing you into action. It’s a proven framework that’s been designed to empower you to uncover your own truths.
Our approach is compassionate, supportive, and tailored to your unique journey. We’re here to walk alongside you, not ahead of you. This is about helping you align your life with your deepest values and purpose—on your terms.
