Revelation
Revelation is an uncovering or disclosure via communication from the
divine of something that has been partially or wholly hidden or unknown, "which could not be known apart from the unveiling" (Goswiller 1987 p. 3). In
monotheistic religions, revelation is the process, or act of making divine information known, often through direct ontological realization which transcends the human state and reaches into the divine intellect. Revelation in a religious sense is that which
God, a god, or other supernatural being such as an
angel makes known about divine will, principles, laws and doctrines, although the realized principle can also be interpreted as the realizing principle.
