When seeking spiritual growth you encounter triad relationships throughout your spiritual journey. Most of the spirituality information you encounter will talk about the three part relationships of self and source while also discussing the dual nature of the universe.
When you are a balanced three-part being of body, mind and spirit you live within a harmonious structure that keeps circling around itself in a never-ending give and take of the core of your being, which is love. You are the ultimate love triangle.
Each part of the triangle influences and is being influenced by the other parts of the triangle. When we are in perfect balance in our mind, body, spirit beingness, we are able to live and create at a highly effective level. We are in alignment with our true nature. We are in alignment with who we really are, a spirit child of God, Life and Love.
This mind, body, spirit triad being that we are is directly related to the triad imagery that we assign to God. When we say that we were created in the image and likeness of God that does not mean that we all physically look like God, although technically that is true because God is all things. What we are saying is that we all have the same powers and abilities as God. We have the essence of God.
The essence of God is defined in triads. When we think of God we use terms like Father, Son and Holy Ghost or superconscious, conscious and subconscious or the physical, the nonphysical and the metaphysical, or the mind, body and spirit.
These triune realities is the true nature of God and is the divine pattern that always evolves when we look at and analyze the subtle and sublime aspects of Life, Love and God.
When we look at and analyze the gross aspects of life we describe them in terms of dualities. That is the nature of our relationship world where everything is relative.
In our gross relationships, our typical day-to-day life relationships, we look at life from a perspective of something being either this or that. We don't see the “in-between” that exists in subtle three-in-one triad relationships used to describe the more esoteric aspects of life.
Our gross relationships are defined as either/or. Either right or left. Either tall or short. Either hot or cold. Either fast or slow, and of course, the granddaddy of them all, either male or female. All of the concepts that we think of in the physical universe that are used to describe our environment and us are either one thing or another or some varying degree of that thing in relationship to one of its polarities.
This is the nature of the physical universe on a gross level. Everything is relative. That is how we define ourselves. In order to be something, you have to not be something else. That is the purpose of the theory of relativity and all physical life. It is by “that which you are not” that you, yourself, are defined.
If you are a CEO of a major corporation, then you are not a ditch-digger or a railroad engineer or a real-estate sales person. That is not to say that you cannot be any of these other things, or that you may have been one of these other things in the past. It just means that when you are defining yourself as a CEO, you are doing so by also describing yourself as who you are not.
In actuality, and to put this in more accurate terms, who you really are and who you always will be is a spirit child of God. As such you might describe yourself more accurately by saying that who I am is a spirit child of God who is having the experience of being the CEO of a major corporation.
Because here's the deal: You are always going to be a spirit child of God, but you are not always going to be a CEO. That is just an experience that you chose for yourself. You were having another experience before you became a CEO and you will have another experience after you are no longer a CEO.
All things in the physical universe are temporal and temporary. We are merely moving from one experience to another experience while participating in a myriad of related experiences in between.
