I’ve come here today to tell you the Secret of Life. It is really a Big Secret, because very few people know it. Are you ready to hear it? Here it is:
You’re a triangle.
That’s right. You heard me. I said, You’re a triangle.
You’re made up of three parts, three distinctive Aspects of the Self. Now these are called by many names, but a rose by any other name is still a rose. And no matter what names you give to the parts of your Self, you are still the Self.
Now maybe you already understand this about your Self. Maybe you know that you come in three parts, that you’re made up of three elements. But even if you did, changes are you haven’t often thought of your Self in that way as a practical matter.
If this is true, then you’ve been living your life impractically. In other words, in a way that doesn’t work.
Most of us have. Most of us have been doing this. And that’s why life on our entire planet is not working.
Now I have another secret for you. Not only are YOU a triangle…


… EVERYTHING is.
We live in a triangle!
The Roman Catholic Church has taught for hundreds of years of the Holy Trinity. This is the Holy Trinity. This is God the Father, God the son, and God the Holy Ghost.
We live in a triangle!
Father, Son, Holy Ghost.
Body, Mind, Spirit.
Thought, Word, and Deed.
Past, Present, and Future.
Here, There, and Everywhere.
Energy, Matter, Anti-Matter.
Knowing, Experiencing, Being.
Everything comes in three’s. Everything IS a Three. And everything is All One.
All That IS is Three-In-One. There IS a Holy Trinity, and this is it.
Conversations with God tells us that God the Father is our Thought, God the Son is our word (“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…”), and God the Holy Ghost is our deed. It is the Spirit which animates our actions and gives life to our thoughts and our words.
The Spirit is Pure Energy. It is the Essence of Life. Without it, Life is Not. When the Spirit leaves the Body, the Body dies. It is not the same way with the Mind. The Mind can leave the Body—you can be literally out of our Mind—and the Body will live on. But when the Body is not connected to Spirit, the Body dies. That is, it changes it form. It cannot hold its form without the Spirit to bind it, to animate it, to energize it.
Form is created by Energy vibrating at a certain rate and frequency to produce Matter. It is the rate and frequency of Energy vibrating that produces conglomerations or clumpings of Energy that you call Matter. In metaphysical terms, this is the turning of the Spiritual into the Physical. When the physical is turned spiritual, that is called Transformation. But it is when physicality and spirituality are expressed simultaneously that you are at last being Who You Are.
This is the purpose and function of all life. Not just life on earth, but life in heaven as well. Life is everlasting. It is the eternal process of Knowing, Experiencing, and Being. This is what religion calls Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
We are these three things. We are Body, Mind, and Spirit. We are a triangle. Yet we have to live the triangle to Be it, and most people are not doing that.
The road to enlightenment is the road from Belief to Knowing, from Knowing to Experience, from Experience to Being. This is what has been called The Path.
Nobody believes anything if they don’t experience it—and nobody can experience anything if they don’t believe it. For example, you cannot experience God in your life if you do not believe in God.
You cannot Be something you do not Experience, you cannot Experience something you do not Know, and you cannot Know something you do not Believe.
Belief comes first, in everything. Every Master has always known this. That is why every Master has said, each in his or her own way, “As you believe, so will it be done unto you.”
This is a basic principle of life. Yet in most people’s lives there is no practicing of the principles.
Everybody is in the same place – in their head about it. Nobody is living in it.
Evolution takes discipline. Enlightenment takes commitment. We say we understand oneness and enlightenment, but we can’t even discipline our bodies to do what we want them to do. We can’t even discipline our minds to do what we want them to do. We can’t even commit to our spirit, to do what we know It wants us to do. The spirit IS willing…but the flesh is weak.
The soul is way out in front on this. We have to play a game of “catch up.” We have to allow our body and our mind to catch up with our soul. We have to want them to. We have to ask them to. We have to commit to the soul that we will bring our body and our mind along to where the soul is.
You can know enlightenment, but it is nothing if you have not experienced it. It will be just a concept, just a thought.
You can experience enlightenment, but it is nothing if you do not know what you are experiencing. It will be just something that is happening, but you won’t know what the hell is happening. You’ll think you are having hallucinations or delusions.
You must put knowing and experiencing together to produce enlightenment.
What is “enlightenment”?
Enlightenment is
knowing
Who You Really Are
and
experiencing that.
We are fragmented as human beings, separated from our Selves. All our parts are disjointed. Body, Mind, and Spirit are not being experienced as One.
Now ask yourself this: If we are fragmented as human beings, how can we not be fragmented as human society?
The solution to the problem is simple. We must join ourselves together. What God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.
Unity, oneness, is the answer. Yet how can we experience oneness EX-ternally if we are not experiencing it IN-ternally?
And so, the search goes on for ways in which we may do that. Yet now the search can end. Conversations with God has given us an answer. It is not the only answer. It is not a better way. But it is one way. The path of the New Spirituality can take us where we choose to go — both individually and as a collective called Humanity. I hope you will choose to help make that vision come true.
