Kalyptos

Hidden one. An aeon of the image. A state of being from the Aeon of the Barbelo, (The Deep) which has the ability of physical form in Sethian lore. May be written as an entity, but is more likely a description of a state of being in becoming mortal. "He can [see] with his perfect soul those who belong to Autogenes; with his mind , those who belong to the Triple Male, and with his holy spirit, those who belong to Protophanes. He can learn of Kalyptos through the powers of the spirit from whom they have come forth in a far better revelation of the Invisible Spirit". (See Sethian, and Barbelo, See also the text, "Zostrianos".)
