How to perceive the fully cloaked master of the universe

Since ancient times there has been some development from the day to day god burning bushes in the backyard and giving clear however abhorrent and non-sensical messages and commands like slaughter your own son, to a much more cloaked version that leaves absolutely no CO2 footprint and somehow communicates silently in the heads of believers. I wonder, is cloaking a divine evolution thing?

1. Existence is a matter of belief but I don't see how it can't be percieved. Are we talking about the reality of existence or the consciousness of existence?

Existence has nothing to do with belief - Existence is what it is regardless of what we believe.

Quote:1a. "Cloaking " would be a lack of understanding or perception in things and I would not personally attribute that to an attribute of God, but our lack of understanding of God.The divine doesn't evolve, but our understanding of it does.

Cloaking was never intended to be an attribute of god, it was a statement on the absolute lack of influence on the observable universe by God or any other supernatural force.

2. Through the holy spirit or the occasional divine intervention if you subscribe to that.

Can you back up that claim or are you just in the habit of blindly asserting things?
