Trinity

Christian tradition gives us the Holy Trinity as a symbol to illustrate a way to conceive of the nature of God.

First, Cause, out of nothing, by Himself created, and by Himself responsible for creation of everything after, is the Father.

Then, His Creation itself, by which the Father is recognized, adored and ultimately glorified in the form of human consciousness, is the Son, in which the Father is shown.

And then, always apparent in reality as a continuous, unifying principle, the underlying sanctity of all experience, the Holy Spirit.
