This trinitarian thingy

I have been reading Christian Meditation by James Finley. It is a wonderful book, BTW. It is a discussion of contemplative prayer based on what Finley learned as a student of Thomas Merton. So far the book has referenced the book The Cloud of Unknowing as well as St. John of the Cross. Between these two and St. Teresa of Avila and others, my reading list is growing longer and longer.

Anyway, today after reading about the oneness with God brought about through meditation, he went on to explain the concept of the Trinity in light of this different perspective. I struggled to get my mind around it this morning as I was reading it. Now, several hours later I couldn't begin to make sense of it. I'm going to have to go back and reread it. The only thing I can remember about it is that, explained in this way, I was kinda able to understand the idea of the Trinity for the very first time. But talk about making your brain hurt. Whew!
