The trinity, quaternity, father, son, and holy ghost, and redemption

***

The microcosmic quaternity necessarily preceedes the macrocosmic trinity, which then makes for the whole. Hence the 'squaring of the circle', as alchemists describe it, begins not with the circle, but the square. This 'four aspect completion' leads into the larger dimension, allowing the triangle- the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. The Ghost being no-thing, allows the two remaining- the Father and Son- to be One. The four became three became two became One. The circle is complete.

           It is not only that redemption is possible at every moment, but that redemption is occurring at every moment. We need only be small, still, and humble enough to be lifted.
