Thus the complete path of government in its perfection involves the initial concealment of His perfection followed by its revelation. This very pathway is what creates the possibility of service. The entire creation and the system through which it is governed are built on this foundation. Thus the system through which the world is governed is a law that will eventually reveal, through all its cycles, the truth of this oneness. And the creation itself is built on the foundation of concealment followed by revelation – in the sense that the created realms and beings themselves contain allusions to the laws of this system of government. This is what was stated in Opening 1: “On this foundation the entire structure is built”.
Concealment and Revelation Drive Creation Itself
