[Now, let me consider the notion of God creating “the image of God”.

I suspect that, in the previous blog, “the image of God” would go in the place of creation.

The Story of the Fall comes in at this point, because the Story of the 6 Days of Creation was not the final statement.

The Story of Adam and Eve marks the moment when “humans, in the image of God,” realized that “they were persons”.

“A person” is culturally open to recognizing herself as “an image of God”.

This was not the case before the first singularity. In “the Lebenswelt that we evolved in” our ancestors were created in the image of God. However, they did not recognize this. Why not? Their way of talking was truly representational. It consisted of linguistic icons (images) and indexes (pointings). As language, it operated according to the structures of symbols orders. But hand speech talk was not fully symbolic.

The term “image of God” is purely symbolic, as is the term used to name Eve: Mother of all Living.

After the first singularity, persons could recognize “who they were” through symbols, into which they project reference.]

[Assume brings everything into relation, including every one of us, past, present and future. Assume brings all creation into relation. “All creation” includes the entire universe.

Creation, however, is not mentioned in the nested relation that portrays the One True Triune God.

Therefore, creation must belong to the other element in the dyad that we assume in order to bring all into relation.

The next blog portrays a way to picture how creation₂ fits the dyadic actuality that “assume₃” contextualizes.]

[OK, here is another logical conclusion:

If the One True Triadic God is actual, then that actuality belongs to another nested form.

What triadic relation is able to put this actuality into context.

Islam provides a clue with the notion that Quran means “recite”.

Islam means “submit”.

I prefer another word: “Assume”.

Assume₃( the actuality of the One True Triune God plus some other element in a dyad₂(possibility of all being brought into relation₁))]

[Let me examine each word in the term “The One True Triune God”.

The term, “One”, refers to possibility. The realm of possibility is monadic. It is all inclusive. It allows contradictions. Omnipotence means “all potential”. There is only One God in the category of firstness.

The term, “True”, refers to actuality. A True God must exhibit the dyadic nature of the category of secondness. In this, a True God both constitutes and realizes the laws of noncontradiction. A True God should harbor no contradictions.

Finally, the term, “Triune”, refers to the triadic relation itself.

The term, “God”, refers to the object that brings all into relation. If we assume this object, all are brought into relation.

Relations are exclusive. There is only one relation, even though there may be many manifestations of this one relation.]

[Here is another way to say it:

Actuality is always dyadic. God is actual. Both actualities in the dyad must be divine. Both are perceived as Persons.   This accounts for Two Persons.

Dyadic actuality exists in relation to a triadic normal context and a monadic possibility.

God is both actual and relational.

The actuality of “God as a triadic relation” engenders another Person in addition to the dyad.

The triadic relation itself constitutes the third Person.

The Third Relational Person brings the Two Actual Persons into relation with “the Oneness of God”.

The “Oneness of God” cannot be expressed as a Person because it is Pure Potential, that this, Omnipotence.]

[Thus, God is Father₂, Son₂ and Holy Spirit₃.

Thus, God is Creator₂, Through₂, and Moving₃.

“This Relation of Moving” accounts for “our created world”.

Thus, God is “the One Who Recognizes”₂, “the One Who Is Recognized”₂, and “Recognize!”₂.

“This Relation Of Recognition” constitutes “the actuality in which we live as humans”.

Since “God Is Omnipotent₁” and we humans arise out of pure potential, we are constituted by that relation, even though we may misrecognize our own actuality.]
