Key Notes
The Holy Trinity formula in which God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit are separate yet all God.
Jiang argues that the Godhead is a bureaucratic invention because it creates mystery, distance, and secrecy rather than an intuitive theological model.
He identifies the Godhead as the divine candle that burns in each human, reflects ultimate good, unifies everyone, and grows brighter through love.
The relationship between God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit is presented as a fundamental problem in Christianity from antiquity to the present.
The Godhead formula turns faith from personal experience into blind obedience because the believer cannot enter, personalize, debate, or reinterpret an equation.
The Godhead forces an understanding of reality where God is nothing and everything, causing representation and reality to collapse into one another.

Byzantium survives for a thousand years because it solves Rome's political problem.
Christianity wins twice in this lecture: first as a Roman-compatible institution, then as a strange formula that trains people to treat symbols as reality.
