In mainstream Christianity, particularly in Trinitarian doctrine, God is one essence (ousia) and three persons (hypostases):
* The Father: The source, the originless origin. Often viewed as Creator, transcendent and eternal.
* The Son (Jesus Christ): The Logos, divine Word or expression of God. Incarnated in history in the person of Jesus. Seen as the manifestation of God in time and space—Immanuel, "God with us."
* The Holy Spirit: The active presence, the divine breath or spirit animating creation and guiding individuals in truth. It is the internal witness and the power of transformation.

Together, they form a triune unity—not three gods, but one God expressed in three eternally coexistent relationships.

===== Across metaphysical traditions (Platonism, Christian mysticism, Kabbalah, Vedanta), a recurring pattern emerges: =====
* Father = Source / Absolute (equivalent to the One in Plotinus or Ein Sof in Kabbalah).
* Son = Logos / Form (intelligible blueprint of reality, like Platonic Forms, or Brahman’s self-expression).
* Holy Spirit = Process / Manifestation (dynamic action, immanence, or shakti).

This triadic pattern appears in system theory, process philosophy, and even quantum interpretations—where a single unified reality expresses itself in structured, relational, and dynamic form.

===== - Father: Archetype of order, law, transcendence. =====
* Son: Archetype of the hero, mediator, transformation.
* Holy Spirit: Archetype of inspiration, integration, individuation.

Carl Jung viewed the Trinity as symbolic of psychic wholeness, where Father and Son needed the Spirit to complete the divine-human journey in the individual psyche.

===== Parallel triads exist across traditions: =====
* Hinduism: Brahma (Creator), Vishnu (Preserver), Shiva (Destroyer/Re-newer).
* Kabbalah: Keter (Crown), Chokhmah (Wisdom), Binah (Understanding)—a tri-unity at the top of the Tree of Life.
* Egyptian religion: Osiris (Father), Horus (Son), Isis (Mother-Spirit role).
* Taoism: Tao (Source), Te (virtue/power), and Chi (life-force/spirit).

These reflect a universal human intuition of one source expressing itself in relationship and manifestation—a convergence pattern.

===== The Trinity reflects three essential functions in any coherent system of reality: =====
* Origin / Principle (Father)
* Expression / Manifestation (Son)
* Operation / Realization (Spirit)

It mirrors input-process-output, or source-code-execution, even in computational or logical metaphors.
