"Three-in-one is the basis of the Catholic Trinity. The Father and Son, representing logos and eros, are in relationship through the third, the Holy Spirit, a meaningful energy that some call grace and Jung called the transcendent function.
In Hinduism, Sat, Chit, and Ananda represent existence, consciousness, and bliss, respectively. The first two require the third for union. Bliss is meaningful energy, because it bears upon and transforms the relationship."

"the Egyptian Ptah, creator of forms, represents Oneness or Unity, yet he is bound in a tight-fitting garment, which serves to constrain oneness as nonpolarized energy.
Aware of constraint, Ptah desired release and willed the world into creation by the release of his energy as breath, carrying The Word.
The one became two: a polarity. This first-generation pair were the air and water gods, who subsequently had four children—
doubling the polarity as a recurrence of this pattern."
yes, and to loosen attachment to concepts in general, so as to open the way to the lived experience underlying them.

I so appreciate how you highlight the overt/covert esoteric wisdom that runs as a thread across time & religions. When the covering is delicately peeled back, those truths are in plain sight. Just sitting there, ¡in plain sight!, repeated throughout our religions’ histories.
I posit the strategy is to elevate one’s consciousness, discern the essential wisdom from the dogma & then decide if it fits within one’s own cosmology.
✨Light on the path ahead!✨
