Mind that wants to know: mind seeking truth.

Interacting with soul wanting to behold: soul seeking beauty
Overarched by a spirit that would like nothing better than for mind and soul
to each simultaneously find the pinnacle of what they're looking for so that the spirit can rest
in the love radiating from mind's and soul's mutual self satisfaction.

Parallel to the personal perichoesis is a second interpersonal perichoresis of:
Our mind amongst the collective minds of immediate family,
friends, neighbors and so on, seeking the collective truth.

Interacting with our soul amongst the collective souls of immediate family,
friends, neighbors and so on, seeking the collective truth.
Overarched by a self that would like nothing better than for its mind and soul
to simultaneously find the pinnacle of what they're looking in conjunction with
the ever expanding layers of interpersonal/intersocietal/international mind/soul collectives
so that the collective spirit can rest in the love radiating from the entire conglomerate's
simultaneous and mutual self satisfaction of collective mind and collective soul.

Enveloping the [intra and inter]personal perichoresises (perichoresi?)
is humanity's perichoesis with the Eternal on both an individual and a corporate level.
Individual/collective human minds and souls seeking
ever deeper truth and ever more profound beauty.

Interacting with the originator and knower of all truth and fount of all beauty
Overarched by the radiance of love emmanating
from the singularity of absolute truth coincident with zenithal beauty
which big-banging its way into creation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These three layers and ever present in any one and every one's life.
We may choose to downplay, ignore or even deny one or more of these layers
but only with a sense of loss or emptyness.
And if you think about it, I think you'll find it true at all three levels:
Denying the self,
or stressing the self over those around us,
or not finding the right balance with the Eternal
diminishes our person on an individual level.
On a societal level things get multiplied by the number of people involved.
Ultimately the only control we can hope to have over anything is within ourselves.
Yet, repercussions from one's inner perichoresis can be world changing.
That can be good or bad and I'll leave it to you to pick your own examples.
The main question we need to ask ourselves is what do we need to do in our own
lives to find the right balance.
