[‘Grace’ is not What the Father Recognizes.

‘Grace’ is not the Son, the Object of the Father’s Love and Recognition.

‘Grace’ is like the dynamic of their Love and Recognition. This dynamic belongs to Creation because ‘the possibility of Creation’ synchronizes with ‘the Potential of God Recognizing Himself’.

Perhaps, the theological One True Triune God may be regarded as ‘a relation outside of time (eternal and archetypal)’ even as it engenders, by belonging to the realm of actuality, ‘another relation inside of time (immanent and conditional)’.]

[The nested form of the Triune God serves as the third model.

This model is open to further exploration.

Grace, like love, seems to belong to the design inherent in the normal context the Holy Spirit, who brings the Father and the Son into relation.

Grace also seems to belong to the Possibility of God’s Self-Recognition.

In this model, the word ‘grace’ points to ‘the bringing of actuality from the Possibility of God Recognizing Himself according to the Designs of the Holy Spirit’.

Yet, the word ‘grace’ differs from both ‘the Possibility of God Recognizing Himself’ and ‘the Designs of the Holy Spirit’.

‘Grace’ differs from both ‘the Foundation of Love’ and ‘Love’.

Yet, belongs to both.]

[Grace becomes a hidden attractor under conditions of alienation, when an infrasovereign thinkgroup has gained sovereign power. In this case, the parallel vertical axes become thinkpro-object and thinkanti-object.   Thinkdivine is forcibly veiled by thinkpro-object.

Here, grace calls from the outside. Whenever one turns away from the totalitarian system, one senses the attractor, thinkdivine, not as an idea, but more like a melody.

Consciencepro-object senses the possibility of consciencefree.]
