Agree or disagree with him, but Dr. Mullins has an incredible gift of clearly and concisely saying exactly what he means! A rare and undervalued skill in theological discussions.
Another possible solution to the Question of "How can 1 being posses 3 centers of consciousness ?", is "entanglement". Grounding for this idea can be in 1 Corinthians 2:11 when Apostle Paul points to the relation of the Holy Spirit and God, to be akin to that of the Spirit of Man, and the Man in relation to thoughts. So it might be that we have thee eternal consciousness entangled with each other. So we can think of God as a perfect three-fold entangled inter-subjective being. This gives us a coherent model of One God, three person compatible with the scriptures but not in conflict with our experiences and intuitions.
13:09 Mullins is completely wrong. Both the Nicene Orthodox and the Arians agreed that Jesus is not the Most High God, the One God, etc. Mullins is inserting his anachronistic Augustinianism into the mix. He can’t show even one quote from Athanasius to Gregory of Nyssa which claims Jesus is the One God. The Nicene/Constantinople Creeds literally say the One God is the Father. The Arians and Orthodox disagreed on whether Christ had the same generic divine nature as His Father.

3:15 sounds like putting God in a man made ‘philosophical’ box. Open theism is better
