He is manifestly unseen like us and appears in the same way, because he inside everything without being physically located there, and he is what defines existence, and he is light of the light in that every light emerges from him but unlike how rays are separate from the sun, they are lost in the source and not seperate from the source. Just as we can see we exist even though we don't fully comprehend our existence and what makes us who we are, the same is true of God. His holy names have filled the foundations of all things and his name/face is not existing on it's own, rather, God is the living, the blessed.

1 : readily perceived by the senses and especially by the sense of sight
2 : easily understood or recognized by the mind : obvious
Which definition of manifest are you appealing to here? If #2, it seems you have the same problem in that what is unseen is not readily determined. If #1 then I have to ask what you are seeing that I am not. What you are saying sounds an awful lot like, "it's obvious to me even if it isn't obvious to you." Again, what are you looking at that is so 'obvious'? I am manifest in the sense of #1. If God is not also, then you're just equivocating on the meaning of 'manifest'.
