God the father is god, the center of it all, indescribably using any dimensional constraints (because he's infinite). The holy spirit is the infinitely powerful manifestation/arm of God in the spiritual realm. Jesus Christ the son of man is God manifested in physical form, and when he was on earth he was also fully filled with the holy spirit.
There's no saying we're right, but it makes sense. I bet God doesn't mind when his children wonder and attempt to understand his amazing properties.
By the way, this paradigm of the trinity takes the spiritual realm as another set of dimensions. Angels would be in those dimensions, but God the father would be greater than even those parameters. Say, perhaps, angels share our time dimension (maybe), but have their own dimensions of space and material. Who knows?
Mind you this isn't like alternate reality time-warp stuff. This is like string-theory extra dimensions, like a fourth dimension of space, like scientifically describable if we could interact with the spiritual dimensions.
I think of it in terms of relation to humans. God is the one who is separate from us, perfect, unreachable. Christ is the one who came to bridge the gap and died to that ends. And then the Spirit is what stays with us after Jesus finished his mission, as a personal part of God we could get in touch with. To that ends, I think there was a mention somewhere in the Bible that it was better Jesus leave so that we could have the Holy Spirit.
