DEITY, HIDDEN OR CONCEALED
A symbol of the one Unmanifest Being, the
Absolute, the Source of all.
“Manetho the Sebennyte is of opinion that the 'hidden or hiding is
expressed by this word Ammon Hecatæus of Abdera says that the
Egyptians invoke the Supreme God as being hidden and invisible, and
implore Him to make himself visible and apparent, and therefore call
him Amun '; great was the piety of the Egyptians in their teaching
about the Gods." - PLUTARCH, Isis and Osiris, § 9.
So far as God is unmanifest in the soul and its qualities, he is, as
it were, hidden, or in hiding, from the lower consciousness. The
aspiration, therefore, of the soul is that God should manifest his
nature in the higher qualities, and appear as a centralizing Ideal
to the consciousness. When God is born in the soul, he becomes, as
it were, "visible and apparent in the religious consciousness, and
receives the adoration of the higher qualities of mind and emotion.
