The Phallus Concealed
-
It is said that Yod is the Phallus concealed. Does that imply that it is flaccid, or that it is eclipsed by the Kteis?

The more complete statement or contrast is usually "concealed vs. extended." I've always taken it to mean the abstract seed-potential - let's say (abstractly), the point from which the line extends.

A fire symbol of this sort wouldn't be an attraction element - either seed-potential or seed-projection/insemination.

Ah ...crystal clear.
It is also said that Yesod is the Phallus of God. Is that the Phallus concealed or the Phallus extended?

Usually, Yesod is taken as an expression of the outwardly manifest genitals.
But Yesod - spelled YSVD - is also the Y-SVD, or Yod-Sod, the inmost esoteric secret of the Yod.

Bindu?
I read somewhere else on the forum that the Tzaddik or 'Upright One', as I've seen it translated, is the embodiment of Yesod, which implies Light in extention rather than concealment, doesn't it? Perhaps Tau is the Phallus extending from Yesod which is "Yod-Sod", "the point from which the line extends".
