Thoughts on the Tri-Unity of God

"Our Father which art in heaven."
Our Father-Mother God, all-harmonious.

"Hallowed be Thy name."
Adorable One.

"The eternal Elohim includes the forever universe. The name Elohim is in the plural, but this plurality of Spirit does not imply more than one God, nor does it imply three persons in one. It relates to the oneness, the tri-unity of Life, Truth, and Love." Science & Health, Page 515, Line 16-20

Please let me share some personal thoughts I have had about this tri-unity of Life, Truth, and Love. I have found it helpful to think about the tri-une nature of God like this:

Life, Truth, Love

God, Christ, Holy Spirit

Father, Son, Mother

Cause, Action, Creator

Word, Voice, Meaning

Water, Bread, Wine

Sun, Light, Warmth

Rod, Cup, Staff

King, Lawgiver, Judge

Rock, Tower, Shield

Commander, Healer, Comforter

Kingdom, Power, Glory

Life the sovereign Presence, Truth the Power-made-manifest, Love the Glory of the Great I Am, the Adorable One, God, the All-in-all.

Amen!

Learning to forgive ourselves

"Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors."
And Love is reflected in love.

Forgiving our debtors helps us learn how to accept forgiveness for ourselves, how to truly repent -- re-think about who we are and what we do and how we live and interact with others.

And this acceptance of forgiveness demands humility. Divine Love, God, humbles us to learn to love unconditionally, like He does. His Love is a "law of annihilation" to every hate and fear that makes us believe in separation - separation from Him, as well as separation from our "debtors."

Think about the two great commandments that Jesus spoke of:

"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself."

In this particular passage Jesus also answered the question of who your neighbor is by giving us the parable of the Good Samaritan: it is anyone in need of your help.

Is it too much of a stretch to think that Jesus would have approved the idea that your "neighbor" is also anyone who is even in your debt?

Could we also then pray "thou shalt love thy debtor as thyself?"

The parable of the Good Samaritan would suggest the answer to that question is YES.

Jesus' parable urges us to go out of our way to be a blessing to everyone we encounter, to those who need us, need God's Love to be made real for them by us being His - Divine Love's - action and example.

And the spiritual sense of this verse is not "Love is reflected in like" - it is "Love is reflected in love," in full-on all-embracing completely giving LOVE.

Divine Love forgives us our debts as we forgive - love - those we think are somehow in debt to us.

Forgiving is always reflected in forgiveness because Love is always reflected in love.

Can anyone else tell?

"Thy kingdom come."
Thy kingdom is come; Thou are everpresent.

Divine Love is already "living" you.

Do you know that? Do you feel that? Can anyone else tell?

If not, then it's time to start living Divine Love out loud!

God's - Love's - kingdom is come. Love is everpresent. Where? In your consciousness. How can you tell? Look for it intuitively. Recognize it with your intuition, your spiritual sense - your inate ability to feel inspiration, to discern goodness, to perceive gentleness.

So be expectant - watchful for these signs of Love moving in you, as you. Be faithful to them by listening to them and living them. And by doing that, you'll be living God's will-being-done-in-earth just as it is in heaven. And that Bread of Love will feed, forgive, lead, and deliver you and everyone in your conscious embrace.

And, yes, you will find that this takes practice. But the more you exercise your love, the more you will be freed from thinking that Love is absent, illusive, hard to find, or there for others but not you. And your practice of blatantly living God's love will deliver you from the sin of selfishness (inward love), the sickness of loneliness (absence of love), the death of liveliness (the failure of love), because Love's kingdom is everpresent, is always within you, within your ability to sense and appreciate, to live, give, and receive.

In fact, Love is your very being. Love's glory shines in you right this minute! It shines in your heart, your eyes, your face, your acts, your words, your embrace - because you are God's - Love's - perfect brilliant reflection, His image and likeness. Right here. Right now.

• No matter what else seems to be going on.

Why?

Because "Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory - of Love - forever."

Be in the Kingdom

"Thy kingdom come."
Thy kingdom is come; Thou art everpresent.

Think about what the kingdom of God - the Adorable One - is like. Think about its completeness, its harmony, its "lack of lack." Now think about how Christ Jesus proved God's kingdom - His sovereignty - to be always present.

Where?

Within you.

God's kingdom is come, His will is being done, in you.

What if you understood this to be true? How would you think? How would you act? How would you change your life?

Maybe you'd start by being grateful that this is already true for you even if you find it hard to accept. Maybe you'd start listening to your intuition more carefully, listen with your spiritual sense for those ideas and inspiration that make your heart burn within you. Maybe you'd rejoice to know that Spirit is stirring you - and everyone in the universe! - to wake up, to grow up, and show up.

And if you do, then you can be guaranteed that you'll feel your heart opening to God's powerful presence. And you'll be awakening to living His will, being His will made manifest - "on earth just as it is in heaven."

So yes! Give us this day our daily experience of Your kingdom and Your will and Your grace dear Father! Let us yield to it, love it, and live it! Let us be Divine Love made manifest here and now. Let us witness Your presence awakening in everyone we meet. Let us be Your power helping bring home the homeless, humble the selfish, heal the sick, feed all need, even all famished affections.

Thy kingdom is come and Thy will is done in earth as it is in heaven as we live Your presence and witness Your power. Amen.
