The veil represents the opacifying set of concepts aggregated around the divine.
The veil is adhesive because these concepts are striking and emotionally very charged: they are annexed to fears, to infantile reflexes, to memories, to the simplistic explanations of reality, of the world, of life.
The concepts, the fabrics of the veil of « God », the very one that opacifies the view of God.
The lifting of the veil is the greatest adventure of life.
Though this adventure is inaccessible to armchair and lounge adventurers, it is nevertheless greatly necessary for them.
They harangue among tables and carpets, brandish, simulate and confuse their role play with reality, they read a thousand complex works and learn the languages of distant lands, draw capes and landscapes but have never passed the front door.
With the stunned breath of the people who have come to listen to them, they inflate the sails of their chests.
One day, all the lights out, and all the onlookers gone, they will get up and take to the road.

That is a pretty good description of the problem inherent in theology. Assumptions and prejudices that do not clarify anything, obscuring everything.
