Trinitarian Spirituality is the spirituality available to those who have been born again by the Holy Spirit.
Jesus prayed in John 17 regarding those who would believe through the apostles "may they be one as we are."
The type of oneness described through the concept of trinity allows one to keep their essence when part of a whole.
The alternate form of spirituality models after modalism, which treats each person as part of the whole, but not as an actual person.
The alternate form of spirituality treats individuals as resources and as an organ in the same body.
This modalist spirituality is often called occultism. Many people in the new age movement who experience this same spirituality, are always complaining about "spiritual vampires" due to the nature of the relationship with the whole.
So people can talk about trinity and the historical aspects of it. However, trinity when expressed in the human parable is an expression of God's reality, and as opposed to an expression of the occult.
Because, how you apply it, is what matters.
