In the same way God's nature is shared, in Catholic understanding, by the three Persons of the One-in-Three as I like to call what is commonely known as, "The Trinity". The difference between you and God is that human nature or essence may be regarded as a species, of which each man has an individual part, so that there is a specific unity of body, soul and spirit or whatever else you wish to call it within a specific individual; but the divine nature is indivisible and therefore identical in the Persons of the Godhead, who share the One Divine Nature and truly have the same will, conciousness and being without any division, like there is between different individual men. </p><p> </p><p>If I asked you: <strong><u>Who</u></strong> are you Ishna? </p><p> </p><p>You would reply, "I am Ishna". </p><p> </p><p>If I asked you: <strong><u>What</u></strong> are you Ishna? </p><p> </p><p>You would, I hope, reply "a human being". </p><p> </p><p>If I asked God: Who are you? </p><p> </p><p>He would say: I am Father, Logos and Holy Spirit </p><p> </p><p>If I asked him: What are you? </p><p> </p><p>He would say: God </p><p> </p><p>One God in Three Persons. Who God is and What God is are different questions, just like asking who you are Ishna is different from asking what you are. Who refers to you in a relational, personal sense. What refers to your human nature. It is the same with God. In a personal sense God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit, three personed. In terms of his nature God is simply God, the One, Undivided Essence, the Divine Being.</p><p> </p><p>But in the end Who and What both refer to the same thing, a single concious being called Ishna. In the same way, Who God is and What God is both refer to a single Divine Being, who is Father, Logos and Holy Spirit which equals <em>God</em> without any division. God is One God in Three Persons, to the Catholic understanding. </p><p> </p><p>Saint Hildegard of Bingen described the Holy One-in-Three (Trinity) thus: </p><p> </p><p><em>"...She pictures the Divine Trinity in a gold and silver energy field around a sapphire blue Word of God, depicted as a human person stretching out his hands to heal.

When this energy combines with matter, life comes into being...The Holy Spirit is the illuminator of our hearts, lighting up the darkness of ignorance..."</em></p><p> </p><p>And yet we would fully agree with your understanding of a certain <em>distinction </em>between the Holy Spirit and the Father and the Logos that fits very well with your description of the distinction often drawn <em>between Akal </em>Purakh (timeless, undying One) and the Guru, despite them being one and the same entity.

[QUOTE="Archived_member15, post: 165213, member: 17438"] My dear sister Ishna :motherlylove: Please forgive my [I]somewhat [/I]delayed response to this excellent thread. I actually composed a post earlier on, a very long one and guess what? The computer crashed and I lost the entire thing! :angryyoungsingh: So I have had to start from scratch and make a more simpler reply. Generally speaking, I prefer not to discuss concepts such as the Trinity on non-Christian forums, however I am delighted that you do not necessarily perceive this doctrine to be a barrier in the same way as many others do, to dialogue. I see similarities in the following: [I]Akal Purakh/Alkhal Ustat - the Father [/I] [I]Naam/Word - Logos/Word/Wisdom [/I] [I]Guru - Holy Spirit [/I] I do indeed perceive similarities between the Holy Spirit and Guru, as you describe. I also see similarities between [I]Naam [/I]and the concept of the [I]Logos - the Word or Wisdom [/I]of God in Catholicism, which we identify as [I]the Son[/I].

He is the root of all creatures. Hildegard links the Holy Spirit to the Latin word [I]veriditas (Greening[/I]). Hildegard linked the flow of water on the crops with the love of God that renews the the face of the earth and the souls of humankind. For us, the Holy Spirit is [I]Love - the Bond of Love between the Father and the Word, and the Bond of Love between God, Creation, creatures and all things. [/I] This love between the Persons of the Godhead, the Holy Spirit, flows out into all creation, gathering up all creation in one divine embrace which lies at the very heart of God's being. [I]We believe that every truth, no matter who says it, is inspired by the Holy Spirit. [/I] [I]He is present in every human heart. Every authentic prayer is called forth by the Holy Spirit.

[/SIZE] [SIZE=3][I]- Michael A. Hayes[/I][/SIZE] Every religious or spiritual experience is an experience of the Holy Spirit. It was the Holy Spirit that formed in the heart of Guru Nanak the desire to create the Sikh Panth.
