psychological preparation, that the book seems to be written about one thing, but actually, throughout the entire book, the focus is on the three worlds. And all the rest of the information is preparation for understanding and seeing these three worlds. I began to read Wikipedia again, looking at where three gods are mentioned. I did not study materials about Christianity, but I was interested to see that in Ancient Greece there were three main gods, and I was curious to see how they differed from each other and what worlds they ruled over, that is, their differences. I compared this with the three gods in Hinduism. And I also looked for any mention of three deities or three places on Earth to find commonalities and understand the concept of three.
Previously, when I worked on this again, I wondered if these three gods, three personalities, which I want to see within myself, that is, setting the right boundaries – are they actually three gods, but there is a main fourth one above them? Or are the three gods two spiritual and material, and the third is like the main one? And I didn’t know the correct answer, so I left it as an open question. For this reason, I am digging through historical archives again to find patterns and understand which theory is more accurate. I found in Wikipedia the word “Atman”, which means “spirit”, or “self.” And in Indian philosophy, it is said that it is “The eternal, unchanging spiritual essence, the Absolute, aware of its own existence. The term is used to describe the highest ‘self’ of a person and all living beings. After ‘awakening,’ a person realizes themselves as ‘Atman’ (True Self) – ’I am not this, I am THAT,’ ‘I am the Absolute, and I know it’ – the Absolute (person) realizes their existence. As the highest subjective principle, ‘absolute consciousness,’ Atman is related to the supreme objective principle, ‘absolute being’ – Brahman, ultimately identifying with it.” So, my question is: Is there something main, some Absolute? And is this Absolute considered one of the three gods or is it the fourth god? I continue to read Wikipedia and study all of this.
And then I read about Trimurti, and it says, “The precursor to ‘Trimurti’ is the Vedic association of the three gods Agni, Vayu (or Indra), and Surya, as different forms of one solar, bright deity (see Trivikrama). The next step is the system of the three great gods Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu, each of whom is praised in their time and place as the supreme deity. The idea of triad unity, however, is still alien to this system; each member is a separate and independent mythological figure. The further step toward forming the Trimurti triad involves partial
