The Trinity – Integrating the Spirals

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!
