      In our world when something it is only for a few “chosen ones” like a special club and it is concealed from the rest of the people. Also when I get to taste a sample of something and find out that I really like it but gets hidden and I can not locate it again.

      That there is an upper world. God is the most attractive.

      The will to receive fulfillment for myself generates expectations of satisfaction if we take hold of something that we perceive as external. We do not see things as they are, but hidden because of how the will to receive makes us see them. It makes them desirable because it suggests that if we take hold of them they will satisfy us, we will feel fulfillment by getting them and enjoying only by ourselves. I want to enjoy the pleasure they can give me on my own. But when I desire things for myself alone, I’m not knowing what the things actually are. They are concealed by what I perceive (the expectation of the satisfaction of my desire to receive pleasure by getting them) under the influence of my desire to receive for myself alone.

      For example, I want a new car. It’s not the car what I want, but the satisfaction I hope to get from having it. The car is concealed by my expectation of fulfillment, that makes the car more desirable for me. Without that expectation, I would only see a steel machine with wheels and an engine.

      it goes back to that inherent desire to receive.  especially if it’s in the spiritual realm that is unseen.  i desire that more because it’s the unknown.

      Concealment may imply that what is concealed is spiritual ?
      If these are the worlds we cannot see ?
      IF something is concealed it is not available to our senses because we have not progressed up the ladder to the spiritual world to be able to see the true manifestations of the creator.
      We need to have some equivalence of form and spiritual attainment to see.

      Desire is constant, but diminishes when experienced or revealed. Hence, we believe more pleasure awaits in that which is concealed; so we pursue it.
