Do the three persons of the Trinity have one point of view? Is it a “hive mind” kind of thing where say, the Father and the Son are the same being in two different …eh…“containers”, I guess? Or are they all God, but have their own consciousness? I know that’s confusing…
 
3 instances of 1 God. There can only be 1 “point of view”…
 
It is impossible for a human mind to understand the nature of God. But we do know that persons who are deeply in love forget themselves and identify themselves with each other. They feel and desire what the other feels and desires. In effect they become one. So it is not surprising that the Persons of the Holy Trinity have one point of view and act in perfect harmony.

But the belief that there are three Persons infringes the principle of economy. Why should there be more than one Person? Surely one Person is sufficient. The answer is simple. A God who loved only Himself would be the apotheosis of egoism!
 
the filoque explains this: perhaps someone who has gone over this before will do so again…
 
“Point of view” refers to the intellect. There is only one Divine Intellect because an intellect pertains to nature not person.
