Ah my apologies should've been more on point with the last post.

This would be an example of the line being blurred between what the symbol is and what it represents. I do not believe that the symbol itself is something that is hidden because as I said one needs the correct understanding to extract a particular meaning from a symbol. Therefore that whole school of knowledge being represented by that symbol would have to be hidden as well.
It's more likely then that this is more representative of the masses being conditioned and manipulated to have certain values, behaviors, interests, views, etc, that are conducive to a social structure that benefits a select few the most. The ones "hiding" it. The perspective and experience that is represented by the flower of life symbol is the apparent antithesis of this. The agent that undoes the chemical bonds that hold the whole structure together. This perspective is then hidden from the masses through the means of conditioning, manipulation, etc.
The symbol itself is then a means to relate to and come to understand this experience and perspective. Many religions and beliefs have various forms of this sort of concept within them. Quite interesting...
So in short, the symbol doesn't have any direct power or energy. The energy it provides is indirect... or in other words potential energy that must be realized and put into motion through a process such as life. I like that wording better. This is of course simply my perspective.
