Slice & dice as you please,....Spirit is still One......forms appear different.......
Slice & dice as you please,....Spirit is still One......forms appear different.......
What I think you mean to say, is that you approach or contextualize your worship within a Trinitarian context of the 'Godhead', each 'aspect' or 'personality' being inseperable within the identity of this one 'God'. It is therefore a conceptual relationship, whereby you feel all these 'aspects' of God are ever involved, unified, relating and being related to.
This is fine, but we would ever recognize that 'God' is ONE, indivisibly so, being of one essence unto Himself, transcending even personality, even though He is the source of all personality, even if his own Godhead is a compound unity of personalities, since they all originate/emenate from the Universal Father anyways
- still, one God Alone IS, however personified, expressed or multiplied in persons or forms. One Creative Intelligence or informing Spirit, many creative expressions and forms emerging therefrom.
'God' is kinda wonderful like that - I'm sure this will give Trinitarians and Unitarians a chuckle. As a pure spiritualist who sees God as pure Spirit-Energy-Consciousness....the essence of Deity is always one nature unto itself and as itself, while all its offspring, expressions or personifications are multifarious. This is the great mystery of the Many coming out from The Infinite ONE. The many abide in...or emerge from The One Spirit, since there is no 'other' besides the Infinite ONE.
In-joy!

It would appear your reference to 'practicing' the Trinity is as noted previously indicating your conceptual approach to 'God', so such a 'practice' is conceptually engaged, intellectually speaking.
All is fine and dandy if recognized for being such, while getting to know God in Spirit, his essence, quality of being and nature.

Oh right yes I believe that, we must be born of God and have the indwelling holy spirit in our hearts.
Jesus was human until he was born of the Spirit with immortality and an incorruptible body.
Jesus was born of woman and then born of the Spirit by his resurrection from death. We must do likewise.

Yes,...nothing wrong with keeping it simple - flowery intellectual wording is fine too, as long as you look to the greater spiritual context and understanding behind the words.
Of course,....only "the pure in heart, see God". That is key,....for "the Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are the sons of God".
All these essential truths hold, even with ornamental phrasing and embellished vocabulary.
I just couldn't resist responding to the thread-title. 'Practicing the presence of God' as a way of always abiding in 'God-consciousness' has been a theme of saints and mystics in many religious traditions. If your 'practicing of the Trinity' (to coin the phrase) makes you a better person,....more power to ya
Essence is one, forms are many.
