The Image of the Trinity in Man
Human nature bears the image of the Trinity. In the mind, Augustine finds a trinity of existence, knowledge, and love. We are certain that we exist, that we know that we exist, and that we love this existence and knowledge. These three are interior, spiritual, and indubitable. Even if we are deceived about external things, we cannot be deceived that we are if we are deceived. This trinity in the soul is a vestige of the divine Trinity.
