The 3 Faces of Spirit

3facesofspirit.pdf

Spirit can be experienced in at least 3 fundamental ways, which correspond to the 3 perspectives inherent in natural language: as a 1st-person "I," as a 2nd-person "Thou," or as a 3rd-person "It."

Each perspective on and of Spirit reveals a distinct, and equally true, good, and beautiful "face" of the Ultimate. A full and rich relationship to Spirit will thus necessarily comprise each of these 3 faces, even while Spirit, in its radical depth and mystery, ultimately goes beyond any and all perspectives.
