His ■ tint* aspects being spoken of in O'iiristiau Scriptures as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, and in tlieosa-phicvil writings as those., of Will. .Wisdom, and ' ' Activity. Man, .ten, is a trinity, consisting' of Spirit, Said, and Body, or, ■■ in tlieosophieal terms, Jtenad, Ego or ■Individuality,' and Personality. -The-, monad, which «as pure spirit, corresponded «> the will aspect of God;.the individuality or highest part of tl«s mind, passionless and desireless, to tlie ■ wisdom aspect; and the personality or concretes mind to tlw aspect of activity. Between man's personality and Ins in- ■ dividuality there was a continued 1 struggle, far tke\ personality, blinded isy passion, songlr| only to jsmtify its desires, regardless' eonsequences.
