Course XXXI - Teaching 10: The Trinity

In His Manifestation, God is an Absolute, Eternal and Unknowable Principle. In trying to explain the Divine Trinity, one does not reflect about how, when or why the differentiation has been made and the Non-Manifested One has become Manifested.
One should not reflect about this.
The human mind wants to raise a littler the veil of the Manifestation through philosophical discourse on the light of a revealed intuition. The Creational Act of God is pure a real in Se; so, man, who is power and act cannot know how this takes place. But the human mind can be able to glimpse the apparent result of the Creation.
Hes, the Sleeping Mother, the Unknowable Principle of God, wakes up: to wake up involves the creative act. The Creational Principle, in recognizing Himself, establishes an Active Self-knowledge. This infinite Self-knowledge –Hes reflected on Ahehia– supports Him for infinite and uncreated love during the entire duration of a cycle of Creation; this love is Foa, life of the Universe.
Ancient schools knew very well this concept, but were reluctant to speak about this or to teach this. But Christianity, by using the Trinity as the cornerstone of faith and in focusing especially the attention on this aspect of the Revelation, brought this problem into contact and knowledge of the students.
By their fight against the Arianism, many enlightened minds deepened this point of the Revelation and got surprising and accurate results.
And the result was a clear concept about procession (emanation), relationship and persons of the Divine Trinity.
The Father is God-Creator. The Father is Creator, not depriving the other two Persons of the Divine Trinity –the Son and the Holy Spirit– of their equally creational aspect, but because the Father is the Unknowable Principle; and that total part of Himself, who knows His own existence, is the Son, a pure, divine and co-substantial expression of the Eternal Will and Knowledge.
The Dogma continues to say the Holy Sprit proceed from the Father and the Son, and is non-begotten; and this is right.
God-Creator knew Himself and begot Himself, and in knowing Himself, he loved Himself: this Divine and Uncreated Love is the Holy Spirit.
The act of Creation and the procession (emanation) of the Divine Persons is simultaneous and indiscernible; the Three Divine Persons are at the same time eternally Existent, eternally Creational, Eternally Fruit and Subsistence of the Creation.
As this Pure Act of God is simple and real, a human mind cannot recognize it because if a human mind knew it, then there would be two Gods, two Creators, two knowledges and two loves. Then, in God there are only Three Persons: Him, Self, Relationship between Himself.
The souls are individuals only by the Law of Analogical Contrariety.
This Trinitarian knowledge has brought a surprising result to mystical Christian souls, because it was a significant inner drive. Through these definitions about the Cosmic Creation and Divine Manifestation, the soul has seen God as something living, palpitating and ever-existent, continuously in contact with the soul of being, by means of this analogical participation of the very soul, which is overemphasized by knowledge and love.
The Universal Soul of Hes is really in beings, in the heart of man. When he tries to know it, this Soul awakens a new constructive life in the being, which drives him to love, to live, to feel something bringing him closer and closer to this Divine Trinity.
God dwells in the soul of man, not only as an eternal principle, immense and immeasurable, but also as knowledge, life and love. So, the union of the soul with Hes becomes more and more substantial, real and divine.
This man, who internalized a Temple where the Divine Mother dwells, emanates from him, externally, a beneficent power that is higher than that of other men because He awakens and activates it, not because others do not possess potentially the same power.
His work, formerly human, now becomes divine and, in contact with this higher knowledge and love, conveys to Humanity excellent powers of this Trinitarian stream.
