"There is only one God, only one Force. But what then is the Trinity? The Trinity? God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit?
 
When humanity closed itself off from Paradise by no longer allowing itself to be guided by intuition, which is purely spiritual and therefore also close to God, and instead scrupulously raising the earthly intellect and subjecting itself to it, thus making itself the slave of its own tool, which was given to it to use, it naturally also distanced itself more and more from God. The division was thus complete: humanity became predominantly inclined only towards the earthly, which is naturally bound to space and time, something that God does not know in His Nature and therefore can never grasp. With each generation, the gulf widened, and humans chained themselves more and more only to the earth. They became earthbound intellectuals who call themselves materialists, even with pride, because they cannot sense their chains, since being firmly bound to space and time also naturally narrowed their horizons at the same time. How could they find their way back to God? Never!
 
It was impossible, if help did not come from God. Therefore, a new bridge had to be built from Him if help was to be offered. And He was merciful. God Himself, in His purity, could no longer reveal Himself to the base intellectuals, who had become incapable of sensing, seeing or hearing His messengers through their intellectual work. The exceedingly few who were still able to do so were ridiculed, as the constricted field of vision of the materialists, bound to space and time, rejected any thought of an extension beyond it as impossible, since it was incomprehensible to them. Consequently, even the prophets were no longer sufficient, as the force of their influence could no longer penetrate to the masses; for, in the end, even the basic ideas of all religious endeavours had turned entirely materialistic. So a mediator had to come between the Godhead and the lost humanity, One who possessed more force than all the others before Him, so He could be penetrate through. Shall one say: for the sake of the few who, despite the most crass materialism, still longed for God? This would be correct, but opponents would prefer to call it presumption on the part of the believers, instead of recognizing in it the mighty Love of God and yet also strict Justice, which offers redemption evenly in reward and punishment.
 
But the Mediator, who had the Force to penetrate the confusion, had to be divine Himself, since the degeneracy had already spread so far that even the prophets, as messengers, achieved nothing. Therefore, God in His love separated a Part of Himself through an Act of Will and incarnated It (sinking into the Gross Material) into flesh and blood, into a human body of male gender: Jesus of Nazareth, as the Word now made flesh, the incarnate Love of God, Son of God!"
