Spirit - the part that responds to thing pertaining to God. Three primary ways this happen 1) Creation - God's eternal power 2) Jesus Christ - the person of God. 3) Bible - purposes of God. Spiritual discernment is gained thru the spirit of the people seeking Him in these 3 ways. Spirits not seeking have allowed sin to dominate, and in that case, God remains hidden (deus absconditus).By what operation or substance do man's "three parts" (which I take you to mean body, consciousness, and mind) interact with one another so as to compose a unified whole? Since I neither believe in God, that Jesus was divine, nor that the Bible has any useful insight into my question, and do believe you lack sufficient reason and evidence to persuade me otherwise, you'll have to attempt to give a demonstration, rather than assert statements and simply expect that I'll embrace them as true.
As to your view that God is only hidden to "spirits" (meaning minds?) that have not sought (God?) or have allowed "sin to dominate" (not sure what causal connection between one's actions and their speculations you're inferring here), you'll have to explain both why I should believe this is so, and then answer for the many people who have apparently sought out God and have lived moral lives, and yet have such violent disagreements with one another about God's nature and existence.
