Trinfinity
Been tickled by Infinity for years.<> Also been contemplating the doctrine of the Holy Trinity and how that may be an essential Truth. The understanding of how Intinity and the Trinity are describing the nature of existence has evolved for me over the last five or so years. Here's where it stands so far:
<> Let's get rid of the patriarchal trinity. It just doesnt' work metaphysically. I have a mother. Don't you? (hint, she's not a virgin)<>
<><><> Consider agape and eros, yin and yang, passive and active, feminine and masculine, being and doing, receiving and giving, embracing and penetrating.
<>Also, forget about the order espoused by the Order (Catholic, that is). It emphasizes one aspect of the Trinity in a sort of imbalanced way to say "Father, Son, Holy Spirit"
<> Now, let's try this on (and don't get hung up on gender roles and other anthropomorphic preconceptions):
<><><><><> Mother, Father, Child - the Mother is the ground of being, the womb or emptiness or whatever metaphor, it is the passive aspect of God; the Father is what was once called the Holy Spirit, or that which acts, penetrates the womb, "does the work" in a Catholic Church figure of speech, it is the broad shoulders of God denoted by the movement across the chest when making the sign of the cross; and the Child is simply all of Manifest Creation
<><><><>Mother is Unmanfest and Father is Formless Consciousness and Child is Forms within Consciouness
Now, let's do the math.
0 = 1 = OO (OO is the only way I can figure out how to write the infinity symbol)
0 is emptiness (which is infinite emptiness), representing the Unmanifest, shaped like a womb, it is the mother embracing all
1 is ( rather phallic, don't 'you think?) penetrating all other numbers....there is only one infinity, there is only one 2, one 3, even one 0...it is the progression of numbers that "does the work", "turtles all the way up and all the way down"? (see Ken Wilber) or one's all the way up all the way down (aka holons all the way up all the way down), it's not a form, though, but really an action
OO is all of Creation (excluding non-form).....nuff said
<> Linguistically...
Subject-verb-object (have to somewhat differ in opinion with the notable Ken Wilber on this one...not first, second, third person....are they just standing there or does something actually happen?...it seems to me that both second and third person are objects, but third person objects are denied the possibility of subjectivity while second person is allowed to take the role of subject in the "we-space")
Non-dually....
what's the difference?
<><>Phew!
