Holy Trinity.
In the beginning, was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
He was with God in the beginning.
Through him all things were made; without him, nothing was made that has been made.
In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
The Father is unending light, unimaginable, unseeable - yet his face is everywhere for those who see through the heart, absolutely unfathomable - like light and its manifestation in existence, a mystery. The creative power of the Father starts with a word and the word must, necessarily, be God - the single consciousness from which all existence emerges - light upon light. The Father is absolutely unique and individual. The attribute of God manifested real was Love, there is no existence without Love, it’s the beginning and the end, the alpha and the omega, all things in this universe are made through the truth of Love - one of the highest attributes. The person of Jesus Christ - eternal blessings be upon his eternally blessed soul - is the pure representation of the attribute of Love emerging from the reality of the Father, the attributes of the Father are unending, unimaginable, and eternal. The Father demonstrates the idea of Love completely in the person of Jesus Christ, Love cannot harm, it only creates in unending truth and is self-sacrificing because Love cannot be destroyed - the truth of reality cannot be destroyed its manifested in every aspect of existence, whether we understand it or not. The spirit is the attribute related to the creative imaginative power of God manifested real, there is no material existence without the spirit of love - represented in each material object in existence, the Father created Love in the form of Jesus Christ - eternal - and the imaginative power in the form of the spirit - intrinsically coupled with Love, thus the spirit sleeps in a rock, stirs in an animal and is fully realized in the human being - in the gift of choice that transcends beyond the material limits of the environment; created conscious agents can become one with Jesus - the attribute of Love - who is one with the Father - the singular conscious truth of existence, bound by the holy spirit emanating throughout existence.
The Pure attribute of Love and the Spirit of the attribute of Love is predicated on the absolute and singular truth of the Father, all three collapse into the truth of One God - the Unity of Existence. Shaykh Al-Akbar Ibn Arabi - eternal blessings be upon his soul - expands upon this essential truth in his Magnum Opus - Unity of Being - which beautifully demonstrates why the first teacher to visit him was our savior Jesus Christ. The trinity in the context of the mechanism of existence is a sound aqidah, the Father creates in Love and thus manifested that attribute in Jesus Christ who exists in reality which requires a spirit that emanates across all of existence - separate but absolutely coupled - constantly collapsing to the oneness of the conscious imagination referred to as the One God. It’s a beautiful idea. For those who are strict monotheists and demand a clear explanation for the trinity, then point to the sun - absolutely one - which has an internal mechanism that is multiple - connected as one entity; point to the tree, singular, however when the object of the singular tree is deeply understood the mechanism unveiled reveals multiplicity. There is nothing else to discuss, we are in this circumstantial existence, which has a mechanism and that mechanism is rooted in the idea of the three persons of the trinity - the mechanism for how it is that I am able to fall in love, with the idea of Jesus Christ. The attribute of Love, of God, is not more or less it is just the pure essence of the truth of God, the Spirit of Love is the absolute power of God on display for all to recognize its truth - the spirit is the attribute of creative power - it’s in everything, one only needs to observe the visible universe to understand the essence of the attribute of creative power, each attribute is one, necessary for conscious agents to exist in knowledge, the ultimate struggle, or not, it all comes down to choice. The truth of reality is Love, manifested as our savior Jesus Christ, and if people deeply reflected on the Holy Gospels, they would be unable to utter his blessed name, instead, tears would fall, constantly.
From an evolutionary perspective, material existence needs laws, general and fixed, to allow a predictable universe to emerge; within existence are created conscious agents with choice. Thus the Jewish Hebrews were chosen above all peoples to be bound to the law, needed to bring balance in the context of the choice to commit evil; without the choice of evil every aspect of existence exists in balance uttering constantly the greatness of God, human beings without choice would therefore be in a constant state of Ihsan - ever-present and constantly reciting the truth of God. This is not the case, for if it was the case - that there is no evil - then there would be limits on the ability to imagine and achieve an ever-higher state of the perfected conscious character. Human beings have been created in the image of God - in the ability to imagine beyond what is physically and materially possible, read the works of Shakespeare to understand this and reflect on the feeling of love towards another. The Jews have a choice to be the best of human beings due to their ingrained ability to unpack all aspects of universal laws, seen through the lens of the divine character of Moses - eternal blessings be upon his eternally blessed soul - who provided the strict criteria for managing the human component in existence - human beings are the only agents in existence that can subvert the balance. Thus, the first thing to be established in a universe that is predicated on laws that has a human component is the moral law - bound entirely to the Hebrews - without which the exponential ability to destroy is manifested in the moral story of Cane and Able, Sodom and Gomorrah and the moral idea underpinning the story of Noah. The fact of reality is the moral Law manifested as the Jewish Hebrews, and if one were to truly understand the depth of this wonderful tradition, one would be in awe, constantly.
Jesus Christ was the pure manifestation of the Holy Tankah because the root of why the moral law exists is Love, the law must be filtered through pure love, so as not to allow the law to become stifling, rigid, and suffocating in the context of the other; Jesus provided the mechanism that forces the theists to see the spirit of the law, not the black and white material word - circumstantial and anchored to material existence. The fact of existence necessitates the truth of existence to be realized, the two cannot exist in isolation whilst not being able to overwrite one another, both required for choice to emerge by conscious agents created in a circumstantial universe where the struggle is constantly towards that which is higher - in feeling good - in the context of unending conscious imagination - the wisdom of knowledge.
If the fact of existence is the moral law and the truth of reality is Love, then the reason for existence itself must also be understood. That is, love can exist eternally and unending, similarly, the fact of laws can exist eternally and unending, in order for existence to be collapsed, there must be a reason, that reason is the perfected character - the one that lives in balance between the undeniable law and unbounded love despite extreme environmental provocation, in the form of survival of the fittest - evolution - the Quraysh were essentially atheists - religion was tolerated and taken advantage of. Reading the life of the beloved - eternal blessings be upon his eternally blessed soul - one is struck immediately with the idea of the friend whom one chooses to follow because the true friend makes one feel good and in feeling good one wants to maintain it and will sacrifice all to never lose that feeling, once the feeling is arrived at, the state changes to one that fully realizes the idea of Ihsan - the striving to always be like the friend who made one realize the truth of original spirit - Love. In order to contextualize this, one needs to read the scriptures deeply, when one does that, it becomes evident that the hand of God is what supported and aided the divine and holy Moses, this was witnessed by all those around him, thus the adherence and attachment to Moses was not because of Moses himself, but in knowing that God was with Moses constantly, its why the Hebrew Jews reverted to worshipping the golden cow when Moses was separated, they did not realize who Moses was, they only experienced the power of God in material form when Moses was present - the State of Israel fundamentally contradicts the beauty of the Divine Moses - who came to save the enslaved and oppressed lineage of Abraham and both his sons; similarly, the love of Jesus Christ exudes power, for Love is all - in existence - there is nothing without it, the disciples and the followers of Jesus Christ never saw the beauty of the truth of the character of Love, they only saw the power to heal, the power to bring the dead to life, to be in awe of the power of love, its why Jesus Christ was abandoned, there was an assumption that the power of Love can defend itself, it couldn’t - innocence cannot be protected by innocence it requires another who understands the feeling of innocence and thus protects it for all - the trial for the disciples and followers of Jesus Christ was not the power of Love but the innocence of Love being destroyed, the moral law needed to be subverted in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ to demonstrate the capacity of human beings to choose that which is extreme in the direction of oppressive & tyrannical evil - the spilling of innocent blood unnecessarily with no gain other than a temporary and material feeling of gain. The reason for reality is the perfected character manifested as the beloved Prophet Muhammad - eternal blessings be upon his eternally blessed soul, the root of the perfected character is mercy, the essence of the truth of the law needed to protect the essence of pure love, and since children are the manifestation of the idea of innocence - in not knowing - they must be absolutely protected. The gift of God to human beings is to realize the light of mercy and in so doing, struggle constantly towards higher character - a state of ease; the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
The reason why the beloved is the beloved is due to the need to protect, love; the true friend makes one realize their true reality, the true friend transforms, not by force but by unveiling the inherent wisdom in ones lived experience, once the transformation occurs, there is no other power required, one is completely content and ready to face anything - it’s only the true friend that can love and in that love will sacrifice all in the knowledge that the circumstantial and illusory moment is inconsequential, the aim of conscious imagination is to be with the beloved, constantly, thus the Prophet Muhammad wants to be with Love - represented as Jesus Christ - by constantly applying the spirit of the law which removes the harshness that can emerge in the delusion that the material moment needs to be rigidly controlled. It was thus the friends of the beloved who followed his example - even without his presence, and in following that example became the Caliphs - the follower of the beloved, the result is the instant disintegration of oppression and harshness, protecting innocent love - all the way to Europe and to the borders of China, the friend allows each person to be as they want to be, for the seekers of the beloved will find the beloved, and when the beloved is found, one can only do one thing, fall completely - the well-guided are consistently united in this view.
The fact of reality, the truth of reality and the reason for reality is the absolute manifestation of the trinity - three persons absolutely unique whilst also being entirely one - with Jesus Christ as the beating heart of the monotheist, Abrahamic, tradition. It’s through Love that the spirit of the law is unveiled, without it remains only the material and racist anchoring to circumstantiality, the perfected character too can only exist through love, without Love the character becomes fixated on the never-ending anxiety of death, all of this existence must pass through the truth of the attribute of Love, represented by Jesus Christ, the messiah. It was Abraham who manifested completely the essential truth of One God and from that truth emerged two nations - Ishmael and Isaac - and the entirety of the religious traditions, all which collapse back into the truth of “No god but God” - Brahma, when all is said and done its the idea of Abraham and the oneness of God that one starts with and ultimately ends with, the gift endless and eternal. There is no separation, only unity, any attempts by those who want to divide and create chaos, must be met with one thing only, good speech rooted in a calming reason of truth, the result is the ability to ignore the absurd ones, and if those that want to continue to create tyranny become belligerent in their ignorant bigotry, then all of the followers of Abraham must come together, for we are the majority and the illusion of fear should not be feared, its simply a trial for those who state their certainty of the next, eternal, moment.
I am in Love, I am in Love, I am in Love.
