The hidden things are fear and love of God because these things are in the heart of man. The revealed things are Torah and mitzvot, which all can observe.
In addition, the hidden things hint at the five Strengths, represented by letters מנצפך, which are found in the spiritual entity called Supernal Mother, and, being that she is hidden and removed, they are also called hidden. The spiritual entities of Zeir Anpin (Cosmic Man, or Small Countenance) and his Female are related to the totality of all people and thus can be in some way observed in the world. But the Supernal Mother pretends she is not there and is therefore called hidden. However, there is yet a spiritual entity even more hidden than she.
There are also five other Strengths in the Cosmic Woman, a spiritual image closer to our world, thus called “revealed.”
