The Circle of the Trinity
In this circle, no one steps forward; all take a step back so that none is in the center; each can see the other and thus, keeps the circle in shape.
The humility of God leaves a space to invite a mortal person to complete the circle at any time. Yet, even without, the Three are complete in Themselves.
Likewise, anyone who wishes to enter and remain in this circle of relationship, will have to step back in humble docility, in such a manner that the Three are within sight.
This calls to end the futile pride in self-assertion and control, and the belief that I am what the situation depends upon. This end loosens the chains of an unfreedom of self-dependency that opens anew a freedom to trust the circle of Divinity and omniscient Love. Now, in the new spaciousness, when all is in right relationship with the other, the Divine can blow where It wills.
How much humiliation does one have to encounter before one's gripping pride can at last give up on itself?
How much tears of shame need to flow out to soften one into such a malleable state?
How malleable does one have to be so that I can at last become WE?
What is it like being in this circle?
