The Great Trinity

Physical concepts are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, uniquely determined by the external world. -Einstein

Some things are beyond the grasp of science. They are, because science deals with things that can be observed in various ways, but can not deal with things that “things that can be observed” originated from. These things are outside our realm and outside reach of science. Why is that? That is so due to a simple fact: a human can not imagine anything that was not seen, heard, or otherwise previously perceived. What we have never known of, we can not fathom or imagine, even the wildest imaginary constructs are based in the world surrounding us.
Same principle applies to science: as science is based in physical and of physical senses, anything beyond those basic principles escapes science and is beyond its scope. That is the basic reason why any researches not based on material, physical, were, so far, mocked and discarded by science.
There is only one method that can answer questions beyond the scope of science. That is philosophy, specifically – metaphysics, as a study of what types of things exist and what are the essential natures of things. As philosophy is using non-physical methods, but methods of mental nature, only it can develop concepts that are of non-physical.
Let’s try to use simple logic. We know that we exist in some sort of a universe that we know something about. This is a fact. At the same time, we have learned that, theoretically, speaking, this universe was not always. It came into existence. It is only logical to assume that it will parish eventually, as anything with beginning has its end. It is a simple fact that everything that comes into existence, parishes sooner or later, it is just a matter of time perspective when.
If the universe, we are aware of, came to existence at a certain point, it is only logical to conclude that there was something, that universe came into existence from. Extending this logical conclusion, one may stipulate that it is logical to assume that there have been multiple, countless universes, that came into existences and perished, one giving birth to the other, and so forth. But this does not remove the basic question: where and when was the original universe? One that all the others came from? Should such universe have had existed, then where did it come from? Logically, it came from something that is more permanent than even the very first universe, or we can keep creating universes ad absurdum.
Basic problem with developing a proper point of view on everything, including any universe, is a perspective from which point of view is developed. Currently, this perspective does not go beyond a very long period of time. Even better, a concept of no-time is not even considered. That puts a thinker to a standstill of limited perspective, one limited to a very long time, like, say, time current universe exists (should it be true that it did begin at some point in the past). Also, this approach disregards simple fact that beyond humanity, time does not exist. Time is a construct created for the, initially, basic practical needs of a human being and, later, superimposed into a scientific value. But nature, universe as such, does not appear to have time as such value and does fine without counting seconds – or eons.
To develop a proper perspective, all one has to do is to realize what eternity is: it is not very long period of time. It is eternity, duration without beginning and end, something endless (and without beginning), a state. In eternity, subject, idea of time becomes obsolete, as eternity is. Something that is, can not be related to, or discussed in measures of time, as time is measure of change and eternity “is”. As being one that “is”, eternity does not change and is ever-present, thus beyond time.
Extending this simple logic, one can go back to the idea of universes appearing and disappearing. Now, it is logical to think about where do the universes come from? As of today, we do not know. We have some assumptions, but the bottom line is – we do not know. But can we come to any logical definitions of what that something might be? We can try, using, once again, simple logic and common sense.
It is, probably, not logical to conclude that if the universe appears from something, then that other something appears from something else, etc., etc., this thinking becomes absurd fast enough. It is much simpler to come to conclusion that universes appear from something that is. Something that is as eternal as eternity itself. We know nothing of this possible something, but it does not quarrel with logic to assume possibility of such something. We can develop at least one attribute of this something: it is eternal. It is eternal source for any universe that has ever appeared, was, is, and will be. (should one pursue a religious path, and seek theological explanation of where everything came from, that person can use idea of God, as eternal source for everything and anything. Of course, least to say, that does not answer the question, what or who created god, but this is irrelevant to what we discuss now).
How can something “be” forever? Obviously, something that changes can not “be” forever. Any change will:
a) change “this” into “that”, with “that” being different from “this”; thus, we will be dealing with a new, or different subject;
b) any change will result in disappearance of “this” and appearance of “that”. This leads to conclusion that something that universes come from (and, probably, disappear into) is a) eternal and b) without change, or permanent.
Already, we have several attributes of that something. If universe, as we know it, comes from that something, that something is capable of containing a universe in it. Modern science, right or wrong, assumes that our universe has no boundaries or limits. Logically, something that contains a universe must be at least of equal feature – have no limits, at least, in a sense of linear or spatial dimensions. Thus, it can not be measured neither in length, height, or width. Following the same logic, it can not be measured in terms of weight, volume, or any other aspect of measurements we are aware of, as those are relevant only to some limited objects, even of miniscule or grandest dimensions. Thus, we are dealing with a concept of something that is, is eternal, permanent, contains all and everything in it, and yet is immeasurable/limitless per se.
Something that is, has another attribute: it is indestructible. Permanence and eternality of this something show that it can not be somehow influenced, changed, reduced, or otherwise acted upon. This makes it insusceptible to any physical influences, indestructible and, at the same time, immaterial. Anything material can be influenced with matter. Anything of physical matter can be influenced with another physical matter. This will contradict the previous attributes of “the great something”. To stay in compliance with logic then, that something must be “immaterial”; immaterial in the manner of terms of a physical universe, of course.
The Great Something thus is eternal, timeless, without dimension, changeless, indestructible, and immaterial. Yet it contains all and any of the known matter in it. Even better, the all and any known matter origins from The Great Something, either in a form of a physical universe we exist in, or in some other form we are not aware of.
For the sake of simplicity, let us name this “something” The Realm of Permanence. The Realm of Permanence (TRP) contains the entire known universe, physical universe, and, at the same time, contained all and any universes that have ever existed or will exist, should it be true that universe appears and vanishes.
Existence of anything should preclude that that anything is built, composed, or otherwise manifested of something. Thus, TRP is composed of a matter that we have no concept of but, at least, it must be in alliance with the other attributes of TRP, thus being immaterial, without change, indestructible, timeless, and without physical dimensions. Thus, we are dealing with a new type of matter – non-physical one, non-material in sense of what we consider “material”, yet capable of giving birth, so to speak, to anything that is of physical, material nature.
Such matter, TRP is of, should be in “somewhere”, much so as our universe is in TRP. That universal container has been known to humanity in a manner that we speak of it, yet, surprisingly, after consideration, know nothing of. As much as physical universe is in TRP, so TRP is in Space. Thus, space contains everything. This space is not what we call space from a human point of view, or the unlimitedor incalculably great three-dimensional realm or expanse in which all material objects are located and all events occur. We, being of physical matter, refer to space as physical dimensions and volumes between some points of reference (stars, e.g.). We can speak of “space in my room”, or space between the planets, or interstellar space, or intergalactic space. But, in all instances, we are referring to some sort of a physical dimension, either linear or tridemensional, between several points of reference, or some “chunks” of matter/distance between the 2 points. Current attempts to add more and more dimensions do not change the basic problem with human understanding of “space”.
This is “physical” space we know of. The primordial space is of nature much so different. Some understanding of this space can be deducted by a logical effort: should one, by the power of thinking, “remove” all and any matter out of physical universe, one can have what is left – space. Space did not disappear – physical matter did. Space did not disappear – points of reference did. To such space nothing physical applies anymore. There is no measure (known to humanity) applicable, should it be length or time. There are no qualities through the space; it is the same here and there, as there is no here or there. Space is everywhere and always. Everything and anything is in space, was in space, will be in space; it is the ultimate container, without any characteristics known to, or understood by men.
In this space is TRP and known universe, last in any form we can conceive of in our thinking, in any form that was or will be.
Space is universal container. Container contains. It is its purpose and attribute. What is contained in space? For the sake of simplicity, let us deduct this just based on current universe.
Space contains, as we showed before, all of the matter known or unknown, should it be the physical matter of physical universe or non-physical of TRP. It is a simple fact that physical matter is of change. Nothing is permanent in the physical universe, everything appears, changes, and disappears, and it is just a matter of physical time perspective. The great turnaround of the matter in physical universe goes on and on, should it be observed in the current universe changes, or appearances and disappearances of universes as such.
Changing physical universe brings another question: where is physical matter coming from? Where is it going to? To resolve this question, we need to think about something else the great space is containing - the intelligence. From simple observation it is obvious that intelligence is present in our universe. There were, are, and will be many theories what intelligence is and what its origin is. But we should keep it simple and deal with another fact – that intelligence is present in our universe. Should it be true that universes come and go, it will be only fair, from the standpoint of eternity, to assume that all and any universes have, or had, or will have intelligence present in them. It should not be hard to come to conclusion that, like physical matter of a physical universe, intelligence comes into the physical universe as much as physical matter does.
Simple logic tells that intelligence, like everything and anything else, is in TRP and, further, in the great space. As we have established before that everything is in TRP, now we have to accept that that everything includes intelligence. Now, here we need to pause and think of something else. That thinking should be along a new question – how is it that everything is the way it is? What keeps everything organized and running in the way it does, without falling into chaos and disintegration? Which is a fairly new question to modern science either, as some started wondering, where the laws of the universe, one born in big bang, came from?
One answer could be – it is the way it is because it is the way it is. From the standpoint of logic, it becomes obvious that this is not an answer, but just an excuse to avoid accepting lack of knowledge on the subject.
One can say – everything is the way it is due to the laws of physics, or chemistry, or any other laws of the physical universe we are aware of so far. This does not answer another question – then where the laws came from? What is it that determines laws and, important it is indeed, keeps them functioning through eons? One assumption can be – it is this way because it is this way, but we already know absurdity of this. One can say – laws of nature established themselves, as the nature/universe developed. Which might be acceptable to a certain point but does not answer the very basic question – what was it that determined, at the very first instance of a universe creation, how that development will proceed?
Logic says – there is something that organizes matter, organizes everything in the physical universe, and should be the same organizational principle in TRP and anywhere else in space.
This organizational principle should be applicable to anything and everything, material or immaterial, physical or TRP. This principle should be as primordial as the great space. It should be a baseline for anything that exists, was, is, and will be. It should be in everything, material or immaterial, as a great organizer of that everything. This great something should be eternal, permanent, omnipresent, immaterial, indestructible, limitless and, at the same time, capable of bringing order, logic, and design into both TRP and physical universe.
We, as humans, are aware of one subject that satisfies such description. Or, better to say, we, as intelligent beings, should easily name it.

The ultimate all organizing principle is consciousness. Human definition of consciousness is anthropocentric: the state of being conscious; awareness of one's own existence, sensations, thoughts, surroundings, etc.It is based on simple assumption that only human is conscious. At the same time, it does not go past assumption that consciousness may be a) existing independently from a human being; and b) does not have to be present in something to the point that it becomes conscious of being conscious.
Consciousness already fits many of the previously established attributes of an ultimate organizational principle. Consciousness is non-material; it is non-temporal; it can not be influenced by physical means; it is non-dimensional. Yet, it has that light of intelligence in it that makes it suitable to organize everything in all the realms we discussed so far. One can ask a legitimate question: so, say, a rock is conscious? The answer should be twofold:
1. A rock, like any other material object, is combination of subsequently lesser parts; are we referring to the parts that make rock a rock?
2. As such parts combination, any object is no more than expression of what it is combined of, combined, bound together by something that makes that object to manifest itself as that particular object.

After considering these points, the answer is: any material object in the physical universe is, what it is, due to the presence of consciousness in it. It is conscious only as its function, or functions, and those determine what that object is. The difference between intelligent being and a non-intelligent one is simply in degree of consciousness; while an object is conscious only as its function, or as combination of functions of its building elements, intelligent being is, at least, conscious that it is conscious, it is conscious of itself as an intelligent being. With this being said, final answer to a question – is rock conscious? – will be: yes, it is conscious as combination of functions of its components, manifested in what we perceive as “rock” in its final function.
All present consciousness, or The Light of Intelligence (TLI), brings law and order to everything known and unknown. At the same time, it gives existence to everything, physical and non-physical. How can that be?
Physical universe and TRP are in space; at the same time, they are in The Light of Intelligence. TLI and the great space permeate everything, with space containing everything, and TLI being present in everything. That everything can be subdivided into two categories: intelligent and non-intelligent. Thus, we have two worlds – intelligent world and non-intelligent, or nature world. They differ in the degree of consciousness being present, with the units of nature being conscious only as their functions, and units of the intelligent world, at least, being conscious that they are conscious.
Space can not produce or serve as a source for physical matter, as it is not its function, nor has anything to produce out of, no source. Its function is “universal container”. TLI, by itself, can not produce or source out a unit of non-physical or physical matter, as it is not its function. Its function is universal organizational principle. Matter, in all its varieties known and unknown, should it be physical matter of physical universe or non-physical matter of TRP, must originate from something that is capable of doing so.
Such an ultimate source of any matter is substance. Substance is like space: it is; it is same through; it is eternal; it is non-dimensional; it is beyond any physical influence; it is ultimate source of everything and anything. In many respects it is as consciousness – present in everything and anything, with that anything or everything being expression of the two – substance and consciousness.
Everything we observe, and everything we can only guess of, and everything we are not aware of, is result of this ultimate combination of the three– substance, space and consciousness. Substance becomes what consciousness makes it, to a degree consciousness is present in substance, and both being contained in space. These are the three eternal aspects of all that is, with two being passive as substance and space, and one being active as consciousness. The Great Trinity of all and everything is in this union of The Great Space, Substance, and The Light of Intelligence.
Consciousness, as TLI, is in substance. Substance, while bathed in TLI, permeated by it, becomes an ultimate source for creation. Substance, by itself, is inert and amorphous. In a manner of speech, it is a stem cell for any creation. As it is in The Light of Intelligence, it is responsive to its influence. At some point, an idea of a new creation appears in TLI. A new concept, a new design, occurs and stirs substance, separating that Idea out of amorphous substance.
An act of such conception manifests as an Action and development from substance begins. The Idea of that conception comes into existence and, as anything that comes into existence, it acquires a symbolic Life. As anything that came to Life and is existing as a separate, unique unit, it takes on a Form of a sort, as to mark a specific, unique design of the initial idea. Completion of such development requires for the design to acquire some Solidity. In this manner a new entity is created, unique in it-Self.
For the four steps to occur, Action, Life, Form, and Solidity must be united. These are the four great elements of everything, with the fire element representing action (design, idea, and concept), air element representing life (as eternal life giving breath), water element representing form (as the shape, form taking ability) and earth element representing solidity. Those are the four great principles of any creation, or any conception, the Four Great Elements. Those are represented in the four great spheres – of Fire, Air, Water, and Earth. By no means are the great elements of the chemical element or physical particle nature. They are the underlying, basic principles of anything that comes into existence, should it be on the side of permanence, or physical side, or intelligent side. What ever is it that becomes unique out of amorphous substance, comes into being by those four principles.
All four of the great spheres are in space/substance/ consciousness. Thus, such a new entity, or unit, bares in it some consciousness, combined with some substance and space. As the process of creation origins in TLI, is induced by it from substance, the four great elements of everything can be influenced by intelligence, or thought only. Thought is active in this process, while substance is passive, just responding to thought. In this manner, everything that exists is expression of consciousness, with it being one and only reality, with anything without consciousness in it being just amorphous, undetermined and unmanifested substance. In this manner, everything in the physical universe is expression of the great consciousness, to the degree it is present in the universe’s components, no matter how great or little they are, with four great principles-elements being in the origin of everything.

At the same time, Consciousness/Substance/Space is the fundamental Great Trinity, the triune expression of the three fundamental components of everything that exists. Time is not a component, as for the great trinity time is not applicable. Everything or anything functions to the amount of consciousness allotted in it as its function; everything or anything occupies some space; everything or anything that exists has some substance in it.
As the Idea of a new entity appears, as a fire element, and then comes to life, takes form, and clothes itself in solidity of the earth element, it becomes more and more “substantial”, so to say, or more and more manifested. Qualities of it change in a manner that can be related to as “lowering” through the spheres, with the great sphere of earth being the most “solid” one, of the “lowest” rank. While the great spheres are in one another, permeate each other, supplement each other in a manner that everything in existence is in all of the four great spheres, as its fundamental principles, the earth sphere is the closest to what we might understand as the physical universe. Earth sphere is the final principle, the principle of solidity. In this great sphere is manifested our physical universe.





THERE IS NO FACTS. ONLY INTERPRETATIONS.

Look around. Look at the obvious. For the moment, set aside reasoning, or scientific theories, or religious dogmas. Just look for obvious.
It is obvious, that we, as humans, exist in a physical world. It is a fact. It is obvious, that one that can perceive such a world, has some level of intelligence, consciousness. It is obvious that, in a simplified manner, everything that we know as “existing” is roughly separated into two “worlds” – world of non-self conscious side and world of beings that are conscious that they are conscious.
One can, then, stipulate on origins of this or that, and what came from what, or what is originating from what. But, in general, those stipulations, though entertaining, do not change the obvious. We exist in two worlds that can be separated based on the amount of consciousness, or intelligence, in its units. On one hand, we are composed of, and exist in the world of non-self conscious physical units, or the nature world. On the other hand, most of the humans are conscious of themselves as being conscious, thus existing in the world of intelligence. This is a simple, obvious fact. Any assumptions on what originated from what, did intelligence originate from nature, or nature was created by intelligence, are simply irrelevant for this observable fact.

Another obvious fact is that everything, both in physical and intelligent worlds, is composed from simple to more complex. From basic to more developed. From less to more intelligent. Nothing “just appears” from nothing. Or nothing “becomes intelligent” from something that was not intelligent at all. At the very base of either physical or intelligent worlds is a principle of development, from simple, to more advanced.
From The Great Trinity of Intelligence/Substance/Space, a new unit appears, as an idea, born from Intelligence, clothed into Substance, and occupying some Space. This new unit is different from ones that appeared before, or will appear later. On its “way” through the Great Spheres of Fire, Air, Water, and Earth, this unit undergoes countless changes in itself and interactions with other units.

The Light of Intelligence, the level of consciousness in this unit is ever changing, becoming higher, as unit “learns”, so to speak, from its development. What begins as a unit of fire, is conscious only as its function. Eventually, the degree of consciousness in it changes, acquiring some degree of consciousness with characteristics of a unit of air, then unit of water, then unit of earth.
In its development, unit is becoming more and more complex. Complexity is represented by increasing level of consciousness, at the same time, resulting in more complex functions and structure of such a unit. The consciousness in the unit, though coming from the same primordial source, bears unique mark of that unit on it, is “tagged” by its unique “experiences”. Eventually, such a unit acquires enough “solidity” to manifest itself in the physical universe. It does not become a subatomic particle, or a chemical element, or a “string”. But it becomes involved at a before-physics and before chemistry level. In a manner of speech, it is involved into the laws of the physical universe and serves as functions of them and in this universe, though it can not be detected or otherwise influenced by physical means. Being of primordial, of The Light of Intelligence, and of Substance, it can be influenced only by the power of thought.
Through those interactions, adjustments, developments, and ever increasing level of consciousness in it, this unit acquires some important characteristics: - it is becoming more and more unique; -it is becoming more and more enlightened by The Light of Intelligence; -it is becoming more and more complex; -it is becoming more and more functional.
Such a unit, eventually, reaches a point of development when the quantitative momentum results in qualitative change. The degree of consciousness in the unit reaches some “critical” level – and such a unit becomes conscious of itself as being conscious. It becomes a Conscious Self, unique in its aspects, manifestations, and level of consciousness, or intelligence in it. A new intelligent, self-conscious unit comes to existence. ********************************

By no means is this new unit a human. What it is, is a new SELF-conscious entity. It transitioned from a Self with some level of consciousness, into self – conscious Self. Bathed in The Light of Intelligence, originated from it, it is of intelligence. Being of intelligence, it has tremendous power in it, power unknown and in–comprehendible. Remember, that anything in universe, anything that is of physical matter, comes from the great substance, which can be influenced by the power of thought only. In this manner, the new entity is, in its powers, powerful beyond wildest human imaginations. This unit has power of direct thinking of something into reality. By the power of thought, it can think anything into becoming real, into existence, by influencing primordial substance.
In its power it could create galaxies and destroy universes just by thinking it into reality. Though it is beyond any known human concept, it can be, for the simplicity of it, related to as of god like stature and faculties.

When the new conscious Self comes into existence, it cloaks itself into a body of a sort, simply by instantaneous mental process. Being of immortal, it has immortal body, combined from units that do not change, are perfect. In its essence, it is not of physical, but is of pre-physical, though it can manifest itself in the physical universe as it wishes.

How could such an entity be structured? Logically, it is of no such thing as sex or gender, as it did not come into existence from sexual. So, it is sexless. Obviously, being of The Light, it has to have some sort of a contact, attachment to The Light, an umbilical cord, so to speak.
At the same time, being of “mental”, as self-conscious, and with self-consciousness comes process of thinking, it has to have some sort of mental apparatus, an “organ” that “thinks”, a mind.
It should be unique not only mentally, as a Self, but, also, in its unique composition that differentiates it from surrounding, or “body”, and from other entities of the like, as intelligent and mental uniqueness will manifest itself in unique makeup.
It should have sort of perceptory system to be oriented in the surrounding, learn of the surrounding, and some sort of a system implemented to operate, control the “body”.
It needs to have some part of it to be able to interact with surrounding. In this manner, it may resemble of human, though in reality, it is the other way around - a human is in resemblance of such entity, “in its image”.

With this being said, this entity, being of mental, of mind, has all of those faculties incorporated via different aspects, features, attributes of its mind, or “minds”. It has a mind “of The Light”, or one that is in The Light continuously. It has a mind that “thinks”, so to say, or is a primarily devoted to mental processes similar to human “thinking”.
Once again, it does not need sensors to touch something or hands to operate something. It knows of something simply by thinking of it, perceiving it, feeling it as a whole, and then The Light of Intelligence opens the true meaning of that something, as everything is in The Light and of The Light, so The Light is the only ultimate, true knowledge about anything.
It does not need to have hands to operate something, all it needs is to wish, to desire an act – and it becomes reality instantaneously. It is safe to stipulate that some sort of structures, dedicated to all the above mentioned features, should be utilized, with rough equivalents to nervous and sensory systems. No such thing as digestive system exists for such entity, as it is of eternal, is not of decay or change, thus is not in need of foods of any kind.

With this being said, it does not mean that such entity has several brains acting separately or in unison. Look at the cut diamond. It will look different from a different perspective or angle. But it is still the same, unique jewel. We could say that it has different aspects of it, yet they are part of the same, and are the same. Using this allegory, it is easier to understand that Self is not a composition of various “minds”. It is One and Unique Self, with different aspects of unique mind executing different functions. For simplicity, we will call them minds, though they are just that – aspects of complex Self-mind. Or, we can think of a person that has a sharp and mathematical mind. Are we referring to two separate minds? No, we are speaking of the same mind, just of its different aspects, qualities, and features.

In similar manner, though much more complex, Self has its primary “minds” – one of The Light, or noetic, of knowledge, or Knower; one of thinking, or mental, or Thinker; one that deals with “body” and its surrounding, or Body-mind; one that acts in the surrounding by recognizing it by feeling it, and acting upon it by desiring an act; one that can DO, or Doer mind. The last one is of dual unity of feeling-and-desire, when feeling flows into desire and desire flows into feeling instantaneously.

This is the final result of progression of the unit of fire, from a basic non self-conscious unit into the self-conscious one. This is when the unit of physical crosses into the unit of intelligent. This is a tri-une entity, or entity of Knower, Thinker, and Doer, as feeling-and-desire.
This is The Great Triune Self, or the second Great Trinity, with the first Great Trinity being Intelligence, Substance, and Space.
From this point on, Tri–une Self is on its way to develop into Intelligence, to complete the Great Way through the nature side and intelligence side.
