Hi Vineeto,
Thank you for this pointer, I have been looking at it the past day as there is certainly something there! Although I cannot pinpoint what the ‘carrot’ could be for ‘me’. I certainly can relate to Rick’s predicament, I remember many times in the past wanting to break free from that “abusive relationship” to ‘humanity’ and yet never being able to succeed. It was very useful the way you explained it, that it is the ‘good’ which keeps the bad in place, and in those past unsuccessful attempts I was only ever looking at the bad.
Also things have definitely changed since that experience of ‘the veil’. Just as a side point too I remember when looking past ‘the veil’ and later on thinking “I can’t believe that is where Vineeto lives! 
(and writes from)”. It’s funny because I have projected all sorts of ‘Vineeto’s’ when corresponding with you, one of the most persistent ones was a ‘Vineeto’ who likewise dishes out the carrots and sticks, of course it was actually ‘my’ own ‘self’-worth behind it all.
But that experience was so clear in showing that there is nothing of the psyche which remains into the actual world, so I see it all completely differently now.
