trinity
two sexes, two poles, yin and yang, life and death. But where is the Holy Trinity? Could it be that it could correspond to the archetype of the trinity of mother, father and child? The Holy Trinity, which is found in various religions, could point to Mother, Father and Holy Spirit. And, if man was divine in itself, the child and the Holy Spirit are probably closely related. Or, viewed differently, is the Holy Spirit, what makes men and women eventually three people, namely the miracle of birth.
I ask this because I have greatest difficulty with the Christian Trinity. Father, Son and Holy Spirit seems to me a very little bit to be discriminatory, it includes the feminine side of creation is sufficient. Although this concept fits in very well with the Catholic Church, I think this also be the biggest problem with it already. I can not think of anything divine, that begins with the Exclude certain people from certain things. The exclusion of people within their own community does not seem to be very much in line with Christian thought.
A very understandable Trinity is the better of Hinduism, where the cosmic forces of creation, sustenance and destruction / transformation - also known as the Trimurti - by the visualization of the three deities Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are described. This I feel is a very interesting and thorough approach to the divine activity. Unfortunately, in our Western culture is such a simplicity and clarity over time lost. I doubt that the question of the concept of trinity young people we can imagine a little less. And, frankly, I regard such considerations do not outdated, anachronistic. For what a young person today could help more, find meaning in life than to think about creation, sustenance and destruction? The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit? And a confession on Sunday?
mother, father and child.
creation, sustenance and renewal.
I think that's a nice thought.
