"How can we contact this purifying Higher Power? By lifting the veils
of illusion that hang between the human mind and Reality. By seeing
that the veils of the ego-self (thoughts) block the light. 
By seeing this we penetrate into the innermost secret of human happiness, earthly and eternal."

Vernon Howard's Secrets of Life (From New Life Foundation), The Mystic Path to Cosmic Power, Chap. 8, p. 81
