4.14 THE TRINITY<br />

There is however another<br />

striking similarity between<br />

God’s dimensional property and<br />

the Photon’s dimensional<br />

property of spin. The spin of the<br />

Photon (We really do not know<br />

what this means.) is 1 and it is a<br />

Boson.<br />

This means that for<br />

someone outside of it looking at<br />

the photon it can have any of the following spin states: +1, 0 or -1<br />

with reference to his own system of reference. This is a Trinitarian<br />

comparison. However for a massless particle, we cannot go to a rest<br />

frame. For a spin 1 particle there should be three possible values,<br />

along the direction of motion, away from it and zero. But Photons have<br />

spin 1, yet they only show two possible spin values +1 and -1 along<br />

the direction of travel. The gauge invariance forces the other state<br />

inaccessible for observation. The Zero spin state cannot be observed<br />

directly. In a photon we start with a vector field, which actually has 4<br />

degrees of freedom, but gauge invariance forces 2 of these degrees of<br />

freedom to be unphysical. Thus the two persons that interact with<br />

physical beings in the Godhead are Son and the Holy Spirit. Father<br />

and the Godhead aspect of Nirguna Brahman are not viable to<br />

interaction directly.<br />

The fact that it is a Boson means that we cannot really distinguish<br />

between one photon from another. They are identical in character,<br />

nature and indistinguishable. I may be stretching the symbolism<br />

too far. But one cannot over look this striking fact.<br />
