Jesus: I Speak to You Again

Chapter 19

The Paradise Trinity

You’ve likely heard references in church or read in the Holy Scriptures about the Holy Trinity, which often includes me. However, I want to clarify that, while I am known to you as Jesus of Nazareth, I am not a member of the Paradise Trinity in the way you might assume. When you say, “In the name of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,” you might think of me as the Son. But I am not that Son from the Paradise Trinity.

You’ve just read about the Three Sources and Centers. They are the true members of the Paradise Trinity. There is some confusion, where you have mistakenly identified me with the actual Son of God, who was directly created by God the Father. The Eternal Son, as He is often called, is a distinct being within the Paradise Trinity, sometimes referred to by different names in different parts of creation. His title doesn’t just signify that He is the Son of God, but also that He is God the Son.

To help you understand better, let me offer a brief explanation of the Paradise Trinity so that you won’t confuse me with the Eternal Son or consider me the Second Person of the Paradise Trinity. While I am closely connected with the Eternal Son, I am not part of that Trinity. I’ll explain more about my relationship with Him later on.

When the First Source and Center, as the Universal Father, the Second Source and Center, as the Eternal Son, and the Third Source and Center, as the Infinite Spirit, act together, they function as the Paradise Trinity. This is somewhat like the smallest family unit in your world.

In your families, you often have at least three members: the father, the mother, and the child. In a loving family, each member listens to the others and participates in decisions. For example, when deciding how to spend a future vacation, each family member shares their desires—perhaps traveling, visiting the sea, or going to the countryside. Everyone has different goals and ideas, whether about saving money, planning activities, or packing the right clothes. The family gathers at the table in the evening and, with love and sincerity, discusses everyone’s expectations for the vacation. After considering each person’s wishes, they reach a decision together. Once a plan is agreed upon, each family member contributes to making it a success. Someone might take care of the finances, another might organize the trip, plan stops, or figure out what to see along the way. Even though each person may have had different desires, they now work together to fulfill the collective decision because they love and respect one another. They act in unity, knowing that perhaps next time, their personal wishes might take center stage.

This is how it works in a loving family. But if love is lacking, these decisions become more difficult to make and follow through on. Everyone in the family has their own relationship with the family as a whole, as well as with individual members. These relationships can be built on love, indifference, or even hostility.

In the same way, the Paradise Trinity acts as a unit of love, coordination, and mutual respect, with each member playing a vital role in the decisions and actions that shape creation. And just like a loving family, each member of the Paradise Trinity operates with a deep and harmonious relationship with the others.
