The Three Faces of God

Dustin DiPerna is an authority on world religions from the perspective of developmental psychology and integral theory. We talk to him about how the Three Faces show up (or not) in each major religion with side notes about Spiral Dynamics and Spiritual Intelligence.

Did the Three Faces show up in the writings and prayers of Unity founders and early writers? Mark Hicks of TruthUnity.net is our special guest. And we answer listeners' questions.

How do the Three Faces of God show up in prayer? Special guest Rev. Robert Brumet from the faculty at Unity Institute® and Seminary says including each aspect of God in prayer and meditation enriches our spiritual experience.

We wanted to ask Rev. Kelly Isola how the three faces of God show up at different levels of consciousness, given her comprehensive study of Ken Wilber's Integral Spirituality as well as Spiral Dynamics. She says all three faces are at each stage of consciousness, expressing in different and fascinating ways.

Special guest Rev. Paul Smith says Jesus approached and talked about God using all three faces. Smith's book, Integral Christianity: The Spirit's Call to Evolve, includes a fascinating, in-depth look at the Three Faces of God.

Rev. Ellen Debenport and Karen Kelly introduce the Three Faces of God, an idea that comes from author Ken Wilber: God as All That Is, God within each of us, and God in relationship to us. The three are simply ways to describe the ineffable, but they have profound implications for what we believe and how we traverse a spiritual path.
