Short Answer
The veil of forgetfulness is not a machine, not a deliberate punishment, and not a conspiracy — it is a natural consequence of frequency incompatibility between higher-density consciousness and the low-frequency environment of Earth. In the Cosmic Agency material, Athena Swaruu states this most directly: forgetting is an intrinsic part of the making of a soul, ego or self. The mechanism is identical to the one that causes you to forget your dreams upon waking. High-frequency memories formed in lighter planes of existence simply do not transfer cleanly into the dense, slow vibration of material-world consciousness. They are not erased — they are not received, in the same way a radio tuned to one station cannot pick up another.
The speakers are consistent on this point across years of material. Swaruu of Erra explains in transcript 390 that the mechanism of dream forgetting is none other than the veil of forgetfulness of incarnation on Earth — you can observe the veil operating every single morning. Yazhi confirms the same principle: it is not some machine that erases memories; it is the same mechanism that erases dreams when you wake up. And Mari Swaruu in S-235 adds the critical nuance that the veil exists everywhere, not only on Earth — it is simply more pronounced here because the frequency gap between incoming souls and Earth's environment is larger.
The veil serves a function. It allows the soul to begin again — to build a new identity, a new set of experiences that contrast with previous incarnations. Without forgetting, you cannot truly become someone new. But the veil is also exploited: by controllers who use the population's lack of past-life memory to reset civilisations, rewrite history, and maintain systems of control that depend on people not remembering who they really are.
The Full Picture
The Mechanism: Frequency Incompatibility
The veil of forgetfulness is not produced by technology, entities, or external forces. It is produced by the same physics that governs all frequency-based phenomena in the Cosmic Agency framework.
Athena Swaruu provides the clearest technical explanation in transcript 286. The veil of forgetfulness upon entering Earth is a natural phenomenon caused by a frequency disparity between high frequency soul-ego-self in a higher plane of existence and Earth's realm under a low frequency soup. High-frequency memory signals simply do not enter because they are not tuned to Earth's frequency range.
She draws an exact parallel with dreaming. When people sleep, they enter a lighter, higher-frequency realm. The memories formed there fade rapidly upon waking because there is no frequency compatibility between the two states — like a stereo tuned to the wrong radio station. When people do remember a dream, it is because they managed to place enough attention on it to force the physical brain to transform the high-frequency signal into a lower-frequency memory format compatible with material existence.
Swaruu of Erra makes this connection explicit in transcript 390. Discussing the etheric template that underlies physical existence, she tells Gosia that the mechanism of dream forgetting is the veil of forgetfulness — not a metaphor for it, but the same phenomenon operating at a smaller scale. Every morning when you lose a dream, you are experiencing the veil. The incarnation version simply operates across a much larger frequency gap and over a much longer duration.
Yazhi echoes this in the same transcript cluster: the memory is not in the brain, it is in the etheric field. The brain does not produce memories — it decodes and projects them into the physical world. If the frequencies are too subtle, the brain simply does not decode them. To remember a past life or a dream, you must hold onto it long enough for that subtle signal to imprint a reaction in the brain that can bring it into physical-world awareness.
Not a Machine — But Machines Could Make It Worse
One of the most frequently asked questions in the Cosmic Agency audience concerns so-called soul traps and amnesia machines — devices allegedly used to wipe the memories of souls after death and force them back into incarnation. Athena Swaruu addresses this directly in transcript 286 and dismantles it systematically.
A machine as responsible for the veil of forgetfulness — no, it cannot exist as such, because forgetting is an intrinsic part of the making of a soul, ego, or self. It is what gives the soul a frame of apparent limitation within a sea of eternity. However, she concedes that machines could exist that make the amnesia worse artificially, and specifically names the Van Allen Belt generators as a possible example of technology that amplifies an already-existing natural phenomenon.
When Gosia presses on the claims of remote viewers who describe soul torture with electric shock to erase memories, Athena's response goes to the metaphysical foundation: you cannot trap a soul because there is nothing to trap. A soul is not a discrete object floating in space — it is Source itself. The infinite creator of everything cannot be trapped. What can be done is to trick a soul-ego-self into believing it is trapped, using the ideas and belief systems it accumulated while alive. The instant it notices the trick, it breaks free.
This reframes the entire soul trap narrative. The trap is not external hardware — it is the Matrix of ideas the person carried into death. People when they die take the Matrix with them, because what they lived and experienced while alive formed their concept of self. They are the ones forcing themselves to reincarnate, holding on to attachments they cannot shed at death.
Swaruu of Erra adds a complementary perspective from an earlier conversation included in the same transcript. Regressive entities can hold a soul's attention using frequency-controlled containers, but this only works as long as the soul does not realise it is captive. Having a soul captive is not like having a bird imprisoned in a cage — it is like having a person captivated by a television programme. The moment they lose interest or look elsewhere, they leave.
Why the Veil Exists: The Function of Forgetting
The speakers identify several reasons why forgetting serves the incarnation process, and they do not treat it as purely negative.
Mari Swaruu provides the most emotionally grounded explanation in S-156. The complete or near-complete memory wipe is as close to a total personality reset as it can get. Taking into account the strong and emotionally intense experiences people have on Earth, it is not difficult to understand why they prefer to forget who they were in their past lives, along with all their mistakes and all the things they regret. Without forgetting, how would they be able to live with themselves?
She elaborates in S-243, drawing on her own experience as someone who does remember multiple past lives. Remembering has a very dark side: countless memories you do not want, pain and nostalgia about past events and people long gone. Not remembering gives the individual the chance to reinvent themselves without carrying the guilt and psychological suffering of the previous life. The veil is not only a limitation — it is also a mercy.
Yazhi approaches the same point from the metaphysical angle in transcript 468. When you stop remembering, you can reset and become someone else — otherwise you cannot. She uses her own case as illustration: because she clearly remembers having been Swaruu of Erra, she cannot fully shed that identity. Many souls in many timelines choose to forget precisely so they can become something genuinely new. The forgetting is a choice made from the higher-self level, even if the incarnated person does not remember making it.
This connects to a broader principle throughout the material: what you do not know defines you as much as what you know. Yazhi explains in transcript 390 that the more you know, the less localised you become — more cosmic, less anchored in a particular identity. A body in locality becomes less relevant. The veil of forgetfulness is what makes a localised, focused incarnation possible. Without it, the soul would retain too much awareness to fully commit to the human experience.
The Veil Is Not Unique to Earth
Mari Swaruu makes an important clarification in S-235 that challenges the common assumption that the veil is exclusively an Earth phenomenon. The veil of forgetfulness exists everywhere — not only Earth. It is less marked outside, but it depends on who you are, not where you are. Core belief systems determine incarnation parameters. Some Earth people remember past lives; some space people do not.
This reframes the veil from being a feature of Earth's prison-planet architecture to being a universal aspect of incarnation that varies in intensity depending on the frequency gap between the soul and the environment, and on the soul's own beliefs and agreements. Earth's veil is stronger because the frequency gap is larger — the distance between a high-frequency soul from a 5D or higher civilisation and Earth's dense 3D environment creates maximum incompatibility. But the underlying mechanism is the same everywhere.
In S-243, Mari provides concrete data on how this varies in practice. Taygetans remember somewhere around three to five past lives on average. Some individuals, like Yazhi, remember many more — an extreme case. The variation depends on individual frequency, consciousness level, and the choices made before incarnation.
How the Veil Is Exploited
While the veil itself is natural, its effects are systematically exploited by those who control Earth's civilisation. This is one of the material's most extensively developed themes.
Mari explains the mechanism in S-181 and S-243. Any individual soul will be manipulated in the afterlife, between lives, to want to re-enter a body to correct wrongdoings or pay off karma, without even remembering those past-life wrongdoings — almost setting spiritual advance to zero each time. The controllers exploit this by resetting civilisations whenever convenient, since it is easy to manipulate a population that has virtually no usable memory of past lives into believing false history.
The process she describes is methodical: erase documents and accepted facts from the past; give new meaning to whatever cannot be erased (such as large archaeological sites); wait for the present generation to die out; and implement a new social structure with a fabricated history. This takes approximately 150 years — one to two full generations — and is possible because the controllers are not human and have much longer lifespans.
S-156 describes the spiritual dimension of this exploitation. The veil causes people to fall into purely materialistic thinking — the conclusion that consciousness is only chemical-electric impulses in a biological brain. This makes them vulnerable to entities and controllers who harvest their life-force energy and manifestation capabilities. Religion exploits the fear of death that the veil creates. Science, described as the latest religion, provides dogmatic conclusions that serve the controllers rather than truth.
The veil also makes possible what Mari calls the war against books in S-243 — the push to digitise all information, making it infinitely easier to edit, twist, or erase at the controllers' convenience. Encyclopaedias are not just information — they reflect the mindset and values of the society that produced them. Destroying them erases the evidence of how things once were.
Weakening the Veil: What the Material Suggests
The material does not offer a simple technique for dissolving the veil, but it identifies several principles that thin the barrier.
Dreams are the primary access point. Since the veil and dream-forgetting share the same mechanism, learning to remember dreams is, in effect, learning to work with the veil at a small scale. Mari explains in S-122 that nightmares are easier to remember than pleasant dreams because negative emotional content vibrates at a lower frequency closer to waking reality — while beautiful higher-frequency experiences dissipate on waking. This means that contact with deceased loved ones, past-life memories, and higher-self communication may be happening far more frequently than people realise, but the memories do not survive the transition to waking consciousness.
Attention is the bridge. Athena explains in transcript 286 that when people do remember a dream, it is because they managed to place enough attention on it to force the brain to translate the high-frequency signal into a format compatible with waking awareness. The same principle applies to past-life memories and intuitive knowledge — sustained, focused attention can pull information across the frequency gap.
Frequency matters. The higher and lighter your overall vibration — through what the material describes variously as love, integration, expanded awareness, and release of fear-based attachments — the narrower the gap between your waking consciousness and the planes where memories reside. This is why meditation, lucid dreaming, and states of calm receptivity are identified across the material as conditions that thin the veil.
Yazhi adds a deeper point in transcript 468: the veil is ultimately self-imposed. If it is strong, it means that the whole incarnation purpose is working — there is nothing wrong. But it can be weakened by overcoming the stubborn idea that there is a physical world separate from consciousness. The universe is mental. The veil is a perceptual restriction, not a wall.
Evolution of Understanding Across Speakers
Swaruu of Erra (Swaruu 9) identifies the veil as identical to the dream-forgetting mechanism — the same frequency incompatibility operating at different scales. She locates memories in the etheric field, not the brain, and explains the brain as a decoder that projects etheric information into physical awareness. Her framework treats the veil as a natural consequence of incarnating in a low-frequency environment.
Athena Swaruu directly dismantles the soul trap and amnesia machine narratives. The veil is intrinsic to the making of a soul — it provides the frame of limitation that allows identity to exist. No machine causes it, though technology could worsen it. The real trap is the set of ideas the person carries into death. Souls cannot be trapped — only tricked into believing they are trapped — and the moment they notice, they are free.
Yazhi Swaruu provides the existential dimension: forgetting is a choice that allows the soul to become someone new. Remembering everything prevents identity renewal. The veil is part of the incarnation's purpose — when it is strong, the system is working. She connects thinning the veil to overcoming the illusion of physical separateness.
Mari Swaruu offers both the personal and political dimensions. Personally, she describes the dark side of remembering — unwanted memories, accumulated pain, nostalgia for people long gone — and argues that forgetting has genuine advantages. Politically, she details how the veil is systematically exploited by controllers to reset civilisations, erase history, manipulate souls between lives, and maintain systems of fear-based control over populations that cannot remember who they really are.
