What does it mean to be unified with ONE God. How can we change our thinking around to stop rebelling against this unity, to do better than generations of your fathers and their fathers, to cast away doubt, to welcome fear of the most awesome of this unity, a unity not of three, but of ONE.
How can ONE be greater than three? On the number line three is more and ONE is less. There are people who need this three, and it is because it is impossible for them to feel one. They think they have more when it is less. It is less because it is not about quantity, it is about quality. We need only ten individuals to make up a minyan, a group of Jews to be there every morning to pray for the deceased.
It is not about quantity. If you buy something and get another something for free, it lessens the specialness of the first item, being duplicated and repeated, and therefore not a one-of-a-kind item. Getting two for the price of one. And what about getting three for the price of one?
It is about shopping, shopping with a choice for one or for three. Wanting something that cannot be duplicated, a God Who is everything and therefore we do not need more than one. God being the end-all catchall, the ONE God that is all we need. There is only one God Who will fulfill all your desires, a one God Who visits you in your sleep, a God as King David says, Who is yours and therefore you will lack nothing.
