“Trinitarian relationships are particularly important to the brain. Grace-filled interactions with two people are necessary for our brain and identity to become stable and complete. Neuroscientists call these “three-way bonds” or “family bonds.”

“Ever wonder where addictions are in the Bible? Check out Genesis 3! The first couple exploited the things God intended to be used for pleasure (trees, leaves, the garden and each other) and used them to hide, cover shame, and then blamed others for the problem.

We’re born with billions of neurons in our developing brain – and connections with other people guide the trillions of connections of interactions between those neurons. Grace-based, joyful attachments with others optimize these connections.”

“The thorns, all within
I pulled you out.
Every sliver of infinite grace, I need not even give haste.
I feel you and return to you
In this sacred space,
even your thorns give me mercy
and never leave me thirsty.
The chill in the air
with the warmth of the sun
and the taste of this day
Oh, how shall I be unspun.”

“Even endless knowledge of the Universal Mind cannot sustain infinity as actuality. The Universal Mind cannot transform into an absolute plurality of infinity. Its purpose is to transform from one into many and to exist meaningfully. The meaning and the purpose of the Universal Mind are saved based on this limit imposed by something without any limit, the infinity.”
