The Veils of Forgetting: A Path to Awakening

In The Veils of Forgetting, Gary Cone, Ph.D., draws from his West Texas upbringing, a profound mystical encounter in ancient Mexico, and years of clinical practice to reveal how modern humans lose touch with their innate inner compass. Through personal stories-like his childhood navigation of religious belonging and identity tensions-and nervous system-informed analysis, Cone maps six "Veils" (amnesia, emotional distortion, survival fear, false authority, separation, fragmentation) that obscure direct knowing. He offers a step-by-step path to remembrance: restoring regulation, stabilizing the "Vertical Axis" of embodiment and purpose, and living in sovereign architecture for clearer decisions, relational ease, and sustained coherence. Ideal for seekers feeling disconnected yet functional, this guide transforms adaptive stress into empowered living-without blame, through gentle recalibration.
