Three-Acts-in-One Doctrine
The doctrine that every act God performs in the soul who lives in the DW contains three formally distinct acts in one: (1) the Creative Act — the primordial bringing-forth (“from him” of Romans 11:36) that gives Perennial Life to each DW-act; (2) the Nourishing Act — feeding the soul with divine substance so that it takes no lesser food and is preserved from all evil (“through him”); and (3) the Preserving Act — keeping the soul’s good “pure and beautiful” and fortifying her so that “no one can harm her” (“to him”) — the three acts being one in substance but formally distinct in their mode of divine operation, rendering each DW-act an “impregnable fortress”; structurally parallel to Romans 11:36’s from-through-to Trinitarian formula and distinct from TCA-1 (the creature’s own three-stage giving-receiving-returning circuit).
