>>>/pol/481586010>>21215203The model I like to use for God looks like this. each circle represents a person. I personally am a berkelian idealist, which is a view that says minds are the only substances that exist, and that we all live in the mind of God. so basically I think the circles represent God's mental actual perspective. So there are 3 perspectives, which are 3 persons, but all three perspectives share the same will and powers, and so are considered one God. We humans (and also angels) exist as innumerable lowest level perspectives all within the triune God (picture many little circles inside the HS circle, "for in him we live and move and have our being."), we do not share his will or powers, and so are not God. This view is monistic where all substances are one mental substance.
If you are confused i'll give you an analogy: if I had an imaginary friend, then because he is built out of my mind, my imaginary friend is substantially a part of my mind, but you would still agree there is a strong distinction, even if it is not substance distinction between the greater and lesser mind.), so technically all substances are one, and we are not distinguished from God by substance.
I cannot guarentee you this is error free, because I invented this model myself, but given that the word "hypostasis" means "underlying nature", it is a sufficiently vague enough term, that it should be able to validly be represented with a circle as a variable. If an object like this can exist, then a triune God should be able to exist, and it clearly seems to be very compatible and sensible under Berklian idealism.
