Greetings,
I am neither Christian nor atheist, but exploring various belief systems. To that end, I am trying to understand the concept of the Trinity that was never taught to me.
As I understand it (please correct me if I am wrong):
God the Father is the Mind, the thinking part -- the brain
Jesus, the Son, is the Word, the voice of God -- he transmits the messages from the Mind into words for humans to understand
The Holy Spirit/Ghost is the presence of God within each and every one of us. It's the feeling of warmth you experience from being being part of God.
God is both a singular entity (Jehova) and the Universe itself.
Let's compare God to the Borg from Star Trek.
In this analogy, the "Holy Spirit" is the presence of the Hive Mind within your thoughts.
The "Word" is the Borg Queen, the representitive of the Hive Mind in a physical form. In her own words:
"I am the Borg. I am the Beginning...the End...the one who is many."
She functions as both the Hive Mind *and* as a unique individual. Much the same as how Jesus is both God *and* a unique individual.
Lastly, "God" is the Hive Mind, the non-corporeal mind the controls all of the Borg drones.
Now, I wonder if the Borg cube was inspired by Metatron's Cube.
Do you think the Borg were designed with these allusions in mind, as a sort of enemy-Trinity? I know that writer Ron D. Moore comes across as Christian, but writer Brannon Braga is atheist.
