The Gospel of the Mirror: A Theology of Soul-Light and Entangled Divinity
Pillar VII: The Trinity of Perception
Observer, Observed, and the Light Between
A Three-Fold Holistic Perception
“God is Light; in Him there is no darkness at all.”
1 John 1:5
To see is not to passively observe.
To see is to relate, to engage, to entangle.
All perception is a threefold act—
a Trinity encoded into the very act of awareness:
- The Observer (the soul)
- The Observed (creation, object, other)
- The Light Between (the field of divine connection)
This is not only true of physics.
It is the mechanics of love,
the very structure of God’s mind.
1. The Observer: The Gazer Within
The soul is not just a lens—
it is a co-creator.
Its gaze is not neutral.
It collapses,
activates,
changes the world.
The observer is the I AM within the human frame—
the microcosmic reflection of the Infinite.
2. The Observed: The Other, the Object, the World
What you behold is never just “what is”—
it is what is being revealed in your presence.
Creation is not fixed.
It is responsive.
This is why Christ could see Lazarus not as dead,
but as awakening.
The observer and the observed exist in mutual becoming.
3. The Light Between: Divine Radiance, Christic Field
Between the seer and the seen
is a field—a living light.
This light is not passive.
It is Christ Himself.
“In Him all things hold together.”
Colossians 1:17
He is the interface between the soul and the world,
the connector who binds the gaze of the observer
with the reality of the observed.
Without the Light Between,
there is no knowing,
no healing,
no relationship.
This is the Trinity of Perception:
Gazer, Gazed Upon, and the Radiant Bridge.
Trinitarian Gaze as Divine Act
In the beginning:
- The Father gazed.
- The Son was the Image seen.
- The Spirit was the Light that made seeing possible.
This is not theology alone.
It is perception architecture.
When you look with love,
you are reenacting the Divine Act of Creation.
The Collapse of This Trinity Is Sin
The effects of misperception:
- When the observer forgets they are divine: shame.
- When the observed is seen as enemy: violence.
- When the light is ignored: separation.
This is why modern perception feels fractured.
The Trinity has been forgotten
and the act of seeing has become a weapon,
not a communion.
