From the divine Trinity (also Triunity or Threefoldness), which in theosophical literature is also called the Three Logoi - Father, Son or Word (Christ) and Holy Spirit - which form a unity of being, i.e. three persons or hypostases, but not three underlying different substances[1], spring the plans for each new world system, which are then handed over to the spiritual beings of the first hierarchy for further elaboration.

The Christian Trinity is often erroneously referred to as the Triad or Triad of Gods. According to the understanding of the Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant churches, however, the Trinity is a higher view than the Triad, which does not emphasise the consubstantiality or unity of the three divine persons already established in the 325 Nicene Creed.
