I will also direct you to the Hindu trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva who work in conert with each other (as do the body mind and soul)

Brahma the Creator
Vishnu the Preserver
Shiva the Destroyer

to take any of these out of the trinity would cause chaos in the world.

[EyeCanBlackStars]

And maybe also to not perceive the trinity will bring chaos into the mind!

Here is a quote from some gnostic teacher giving his opinion.

"The Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, as understood in the traditional sense, was reached only in the fourth and fifth centuries AD and hence not explicitly and formally a biblical belief." (177) In Gnostic terms, the trinity defines how God interacts with mankind in the various stages in the developmental of our consciousness. Specifically: · In Stage I, II, and III, God the Father acts as a benevolent parent who protects his children against their own immaturity by subjecting them to external laws.
· God interacts a second time with man by sending his son, Jesus, to teach us of a way to renew our reasoning/ego minds so we might become perfect, i.e., progress from Stage III to Stage IV.
· God interacts a third time with mankind when we internalize the logos/the Holy Spirit of God within us. In other words, our ego/reasoning mind is elevated by our knowledge of Jesus' teaching to the same level as the logos/reasoning mind of God, which makes us a 'holy spirit'/perfected soul.
"The Trinitarian implications…of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost in accompanying man's salvation is mentioned in order [Eph 1:3-14]." (178)
"The notions of Father, Son, and Spirit are revealed that we may know God better; and theologians should explore their ideas." (179)
The notion of the trinity fits well with the Gnostic's concept of three stages in the development of consciousness. "There are three classes of human beings. The pneumatikoi [Stage IV in which we are considered holy spirits]; the psychikoi [Stage III which the son/Jesus calls us through his knowledge teachings]; and the sarkikoi [Stage II where the fatherly image of God protects us]. The sarkikoi are lost; pheumatikoi are saved; but the middle group, the psychikoi, can go either way." (180)

The three pillars of Heavens: left, right and middle. The active, passive and neutral principles/forces in both microcosmos and macrocosmos. Three mother letters of Sepher Yetzirah: aleph (air), mem (water) and shin (fire). Aleph is in the middle pillar, meaning that the three primal alchemical elements (sulphur, salt and mercury) which are analogous to spirit, body and the soul are meant to be equilibriated, balanced. The point of balance is the element air, since air partakes of both fire and water. Air is the most volatile element after the fire, but nevertheless, that means that the air is principle which connects opposing polarities. The staff Caduceus is actual emblem of the whole Cosmos: three pillars are also portrayed in this symbol. The Middle pillar and two intertwined serpents struggling for control. The spiritual Sun is at the highest point of their ascent on the Tree of Life, that same spiritual Sun (Pan, Abraxas, Baphomet, Ardhanarishvara, Logos, Ra-Hoor-Khuit...) is also composed of three forces. The law of number three is law of balance and balance is what keeps this Universe in order.



The Spiritual Sun rising on the East, having its zenith on the South, and aging, dying on the West. Three grand phases in his life. On East this Sun is called Ptah, the Great Architect of the Universe, on south - Osiris and on the west - Seker. Seker - body, Ptah - spirit, Osiris - soul. This is why ancient Egyptians thought their initiates that the Sun is perfect symbol for a human being. Three main officers of masonic lodge (Senior Warden, Junior Warden and Worshipful Master) sit on these three positions of the lodge (world) to symbolically illustrate the movement of the Sun.
