Theological Triads 2
Sep. 2nd, 2023 09:14 pmThe next two Theological Triads of the Barddas read:
2. Three things proceed from the three primeval Unities: All Life; All Goodness; All Power.
3. God consists necessarilyh of three thingts: the greatest in respect of life; the greatest in respect of knowledge; and the greatest in respect of power; antd there can be only one of what is greatest in any thing.
These two triads are best read together and in reverse order.
The second triad is the familiar Intelligible Triad. The Supreme God is understood as having life, which in this case stands for being; knowledge, which is to say, mind or intellect; and power, which is life or activity.
But in the prior triad, goodness, life, and power are said to proceed from the three unities, which are God or Being; Knowledge or Intellect; and Liberty or Soul. We can therefore see that life in this triad stands for being; goodness, in this case, for Intellect, for to know the fullness of Truth is to be good, and evil is always rooted in a lie; and power stands in for life or activity. These three are found at every level but resolve into unity in Ceugant, the Highest.
