Trinity
All the triads of the Gentiles were composed of the Father, Mother, and the Son. By making it ‘Father, Son, and Holy Ghost’, he changed the dogma only outwardly, as the Holy Ghost has always been feminine, and Jesus is made to address the Holy Ghost as his ‘mother’ in every Gnostic Gospel. (TG)
We can say the Trinity is Atma, Buddhi, and Manas; or Spirit, Soul and Intelligence; or Spirit, Substance and Light; or Spirit, Matter and Force, etc. (LHR I, p 490)
The Mother of the Universe, or the manifested Cosmos, can be accepted as one of the Figures of the Holy Trinity. Indeed, there is no religion, except later ecclesiastical Christianity, in which the Feminine Element is not included among the Primates of Be-ness. Thus, the Gnostics also considered the Holy Ghost as a Feminine Element. In the most ancient Teachings, the manifested Trinity of Father, Mother, and Son was considered as an emanation of the highest, eternally hidden Cause; and the latter, in turn, as that of the Causeless Cause. (LHR I, p 487)
