Inasmuch as it is very difficult for us to conceive of Triune YHWH echad, and the limitation of our own mortal minds (limited to our own senses, and laws of physics, that God created) I offer this similarly "unimaginable" state of water: SIMULTANEOUSLY solid, liquid, gas.
It is called The Triple Point of Water.
Now I am not saying that God is dictated by the laws of nature, certainly He is not. But can YOU wrap your brain around water being solid, liquid, and gas at the same time? I can't.
This is just another "quirky science thingy" that I wanted to use to display that our minds are not always able of comprehending concepts. But that doesn't make them untrue.
We can't fully, or to intellectual satisfaction, describe (or understand completely) our Truine God. He IS outside of our literal realm of senses. We can't comprehend Three that ARE One because WE have never "experienced" anything like that. We have no intellectual reference from which to work.
However, it is what God says about Himself. From the opening lines of Tanakh, to the opening of our understanding of His Word, by the One Who could: Yeshua. Just as was expected/anticipated, Messiah opened Tanakh and revealed truths that to that point weren't fully revealed, only alluded to. And the Holy Spirit must open our spiritual eyes to the truth Yeshua revealed.
Let His Spirit reveal the truth to your spirit.

If that (first) sentiment is not said by Jewish Rabbis, my apologies for posting an untruth.

Quote:
The single combination of pressure and temperature at which water, ice, and water vapour can coexist in a stable equilibrium occurs at exactly 273.16 K (0.01 °C) and a partial vapour pressure of 611.73 pascals (ca. 6.1173 millibars, 0.0060373057 atm). At that point, it is possible to change all of the substance to ice, water, or vapor by making arbitrarily small changes in pressure and temperature.

The Jewish rabbis have a quaint way of expressing this very idea: they say that they will not understand the Scriptures until the Messiah comes. But when He comes, He will not only interpret each of the passages for us, He will interpret the very words; He will even interpret the very letters themselves; in fact, He will even interpret the spaces between the letters!
When I first heard this, I simply dismissed this as a colorful exaggeration. Until I reread Matthew 5:17 and 18:
"Think not that I have come to destroy the Torah and the prophets; I have not come to destroy but to fulfill.
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."
