Aspects of The Trinity (The basis of the series)

While studying the Theosophy book, The Masters and The Path, the opening paragraphs of Chapter 13 intrigued me where it says,

WE KNOW that the Logos of our solar system—and that is what most men mean when they speak of God—is a Trinity; he has, or rather is, Three Persons; he functions through Three Aspects. These are called by many different names in the different religions, but they are not always viewed in the same way; for this mighty scheme of a Trinity has so many Aspects that no one religion has ever succeeded in symbolizing the whole truth. In some faiths we have a Trinity of Father, Mother, Son, which is at least comprehensible to us when we think of methods of generation and interaction. Of this type we find Osiris, Isis and Horus in the Egyptian teaching, and in Scandinavian mythology Odin, Freya and Thor. The Assyrians and Phoenicians believed in a Trinity the Persons of which were Anu, Ea and Bel. The Druids called them Taulac, Fan and Mollac. In Northern Buddhism we hear of Amitabha, Avalokiteshvara and Manjushri. In the Kabala of the Jews the Three are Kether, Binah and Chokma, and in the Zoroastrian religion Ahura-mazda, Asha and Vohumano, or sometimes Ahuramazda, Mithra and Ahriman. Everywhere the principle of the Trinity is acknowledged, though the manifestations are different.

In the great Hindu system there is the Trinity of Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma. The Mother element is not shown in this Trinity, but it is indirectly recognized in that each of these Three is said to have a Shakti or power, which is sometimes in the symbolism named his consort. This is evidently a manifestation of his power in matter, perhaps a somewhat lower manifestation than that of which we must think when we mention the Trinity Itself. In the Christian system we have the Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Ghost; and it is interesting in this connection to note that in some of the old books the Holy Ghost is definitely mentioned as being feminine. Apart from this, the instinctive need of man to recognize the Divine Motherhood has in Christianity found expression in the cult of the Blessed Virgin, who, though not a Person of the Holy Trinity, is nevertheless the Universal Mother, the Queen of the Angels, the Star of the Sea.

The series will explore

  • Osiris, Isis and Horus from the Egyptian teaching
  • Odin, Freya and Thor from Scandinavian mythology
  • Anu, Ea and Bel from the Assyrians and Phoenicians
  • Taulac, Fan and Mollac from the Druids
  • Amitabha, Avalokiteshvara and Manjushri from Northern Buddhism
  • Kether, Binah and Chokma of the Jewish Kabala
  • Ahura-mazda, Asha and Vohumano, or sometimes Ahuramazda, Mithra and Ahriman from Zoroastrian
  • Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma from Hinduism
  • Father, Son and Holy Ghost from Christianity

I especially relished and mused on the statement, “…this mighty scheme of a Trinity has so many Aspects that no one religion has ever succeeded in symbolizing the whole truth.” And is why I wanted to break it down further and prepare this series of articles to dig deeper.

I may also do one specific to the Divine Motherhood, as while reading that section of the above quote, I couldn’t help but consider Mother Earth and Mother Nature.

Integrating the Spirals

I’m encouraging those “over 60” to open to lifelong learning (observe and gently question their pre-conceived beliefs, aka ‘Programming’), become more aware of their thoughts and emotions, consistently move their bodies (too many are stuck in their heads and physically unhealthy), become strong, and resilient in spirit, soul, mind, body. And to question EVERYTHING!

“The Masters and the Path”by C. W. Leadbeater

Among the early major figures authoring Theosophical Teachings was Mr. Leadbeater (1847-1934) was an eminent seer and occultist, who wrote of the  Masters, Mahatmas, Adepts and Arhats in this book. Their “existence is one of the most important of the many facts which Theosophy puts before us.” 

Drawing on his personal experiences, the experiences of others, and the teachings of the religions, the mystics and the saints, he writes about the personalities of the Masters, Their homes, Their work, Their nature and Their powers. He also describes the various stages of the Path the aspirant must tread to reach Them, from probation to acceptance as Their disciple, and beyond, to Arhat levels. In the book, the author also deals with the topics of Initiations and The Seven Rays.

Charles Leadbeater worked with Helena Blavatsky and Henry Olcott, both founders of The Theosophical Society in 1875. He also co-authored Theosophical books with Annie Besant, then the future president of the Society. 

The Masters, who guided the founding of the Theosophical Society were Master Morya, Master Koot Hoomi, and Master Djwal Khul. They are known as the Trans-Himalayan Masters. Please note that The Master Djwal Khul also wrote the Alice Bailey books.  We should not confuse these Masters with those called the Ascended Masters acclaimed by Guy Ballard of the I Am movement and taken up later by Mark and Elizabeth Prophet. 

Just for clarity, after reaching enlightenment or Nirvana, Masters have earned the right to merge with the All which is called ascension. This would prevent Them from being in touch with humanity since They would be abandoning Their lower physical vehicles of consciousness. Out of compassion and to help us in our struggle to realize Truth They may choose not to ascend but instead keep Their physical bodies. This was the chosen path of the Theosophical Masters whom C.W. Leadbeater met.    

This book may be purchased new or used from online booksellers. It is also available on kindle. A free pdf copy of the book is also available from Judith after you notify her that you wish to join the book study group. Judith’s email is judithsnow22@gmail.com.
