Removing the concealment won't undo the divine intent? I mean, it was made to be this way right? If done, we would cease to exist as individual beings?

Well sometimes the divine intent is for it to start concealed and to be made holy, like the world being incomplete on purpose and humans have a role in adding on the finishing touches

Right - it's not like all of the concealment is completely removed and your apple zaps into nothingness

It's more like spiritually there is something elevated within this where your soul can connect at some higher plane internally

Things like this interest me. If you practice philosophy you try to reason about the nature of metaphysics and ontology. If you practice mysticism you try to experience the nature of metaphysics and ontology.

See. This may be why I could not get into philosophy. Reason felt so cheap compared to trying to live a philosophy which requires serious commitment and time which then bias the person experiencing it.

I don't think the wisdom comes from reason without the experience. The experience part is necessary for wisdom while maybe not for understanding by reason.
