The Triangle Life Metaphor

Triune reality is fairly common in the world. Trinities are found in many forms. The atom is made of a nucleus, protons and electrons. Hue-mans are said to contain body, mind and soul. There are then senses, spirit and thoughts -- thoughts which mingle in the conscious mind, subconscious and unconscious. There is the trinity of the Christian Godhead, Father, Son and Holy Ghost. There are the three veils in Judaic thought of Ain, Ain Soph and Ain Soph Aur. The Hindus uphold the triune combination of Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva. Critical thinkers practice the art of thesis, anti-thesis and synthesis. Hermetics arrange Art, Science and Magick as a triune combination. The male and female give birth to the child to form a mortal trinity.

What of the left, right and middle? The middle is often an neglected element. What of the heavens, earth and hell? Is earth life often tossed aside for worries of the future experiences with darkness and light. What of the gray matter?

Polar views erase the triune template from the life metaphor. When the two compete for recognition, should we ask where is the third principle?
