Spanish term

de los cuales aparece la íntima concordancia

Spanish to English Art/Literary General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters Occult Sciences
Contexto:

La Cábala... Trata especialmente del valor místico y mágico de los números y de las letras del alfabeto relacionados con principios numéricos y geométricos, que encierran en sí otros tantos significados metafísicos o espirituales, de los cuales aparece la íntima concordancia y la unidad fundamental de las religiones.

Mil Gracias,

that reveal many common elements shared by many religions.

This is how I would translate this text. The Spanish is highly suspect, and I would not be surprised if this text was translated from another language.
Peer comment(s):

agree Andrew Bramhall : Exactly; no one would use ' concordance' in English to express this concept nowadays.

that reveal the intimate concordance

"Concordance" is a word very common in the religious context, I wouldn't suppress it from the text considering that it means the same both in Spanish and English.

agree Jaime Blank : I would take out "impression of" to stay "in concordance" with the source. (I see nowhere the adjective apparent, the word "aparece" has nothing to do with apparent but yes with "show up", "is revealed" and in this case also "it follows" can be accepted)

Why would you leave out the adjective 'apparent"?
