An Actual Explanation of the Trinity That Doesn't Amount to Confusion

An actual explanation of the Monarchy of the Father and the Trinity.

Usually the Trinity is explained as 3 Persons 1 Being (sometimes explained as Nature or Essence), which just amounts to confusion since the term person implies individuals with their own unique mind, will, consciousness. How can 3 distinct persons be the same being when we see that 1 person is 1 being contrasted from another person and being? The term being is synonymous with person, which also leads to confusion; however, being can also mean having existence or the essence of something.

In the case of God, His Word and His Spirit are Emanations and thus cannot be separate existences/beings (implies same Essence) yet They must be distinct from God Himself because God does not emanate. Thus, the Word and the Spirit are not God Himself in Person but God in Essence.

Now, not sure we should say that the Father prays (entreat, implore
—often used as a function word in introducing a question, request, or plea, to make a request in a humble manner, to address God or a god with adoration, confession, supplication, or thanksgiving) to the Son in speaking to Him. The Father prays to no one because He is not subject to anyone. The Son, however, prays to the Father since the Father has authority over Him.
