Grammatically, all thoughts that can be expressed as a proposition can be in the first person, second person, or third person point of view.
“I am X”, “You are X”, “X is X”.
In either case, the referent of “I”, “You”, and “X”, can all be the same.
God as an omniscient mind can very well enjoy his own self knowledge via the tripartite division of how he can refer to himself by the first person, second person, and third person points of view.
We very can do this, as if looking into a mirror and saying “You will do this today!” Or “I will do this today!”In either case I am talking to myself through a different personal perspective. So it isn’t a stretch that God can too.
Since God is also divinely simple, and so his act of knowing himself is supremely united with his act of being, these differing perspectives of self-reference in a true thought of oneself may be all the more mystifying, and hence allude to a Trinity of persons in one divine substance.
