'''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, [[law]]s and doctrines, although the realized principle can also be interpreted as the realizing principle.
