Interesting perspective.
I see it a little differently. From my perspective the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost is represented by Kether, Chokmah, and Binah.
The Logos is the 3 energies of that supernal triad working in tandem as one beingness. Binah, from my perspective is the archetypal passive/potential form (female principle), while Chokmah is the archetypal active/kinetic force (male principle).
Kether is only male in the context of the potentiated illusion, with Malkuth being its female counterpart (the Shekinah)
I agree with you. I would say Father, Son and Holy Spirit represents the supernal triad of Kether, Chokmah and Binah. But then viewing this from another perspective I would say the Father/Kether does not represent the Absolute or God, but the first movement of the Absolute.
I also lean toward the theosophical approach that Kether would be the unmanifested Logos, Chokmah the semi-manifest, and Binah the manifest or "form-maker".
I believe the trinity for sure is relating to the supernal triad....the way I'm attempting to use the terms is a bit more archaic and perhaps more "gnostic".
For example, if we take the persona of the Virgin Mary, her "character" would not fit anywhere on the Tree of Life, but if we consider the three sublime states above the tree, with two of them representing the most sublime and pure male/female polarity, from my perspective her persona or "role" becomes clear.
As far as my flip flopping the potential/kinetic and passive/active principles....I can't help but see Chokmah as "potential" yet active while seeing Binah as "kinetic" yet passive...not sure if this is my own understanding confusing me. Chokmah is usually seen as "the potential of what is". If Binah takes the potential of Chokmah and produces forms based on its input from Chokmah, how is it inactive rather than active? Any suggestions for helping me see this more clearly?
