The following is my own interpretation of the trinity, my only reference is the New Testament and my understanding of it. Even when I was a practicing Christian I believed that the trinity referred to three separate entities that were actually one in plan and purpose. Each one having a particular part to play in the overall plan of the supreme being; the biblical God.
When Jesus was baptized by John the baptist and he came up out of the water all three manifestations, personalities, or as I like to say persons of the trinity were present at the same place at the same time.
Matthew 3:16, Mark 1:10, Luke 3:22, and John 1:32 All state that when he came out of the water the spirit descended in the form of a dove and sat on his shoulder, and a voice was heard in heaven acknowledging Jesus as the son of God.
On many occasions Jesus makes the distinction between himself and the father. 2 examples
Matthew 10:32, and Mark 13:32
Jesus also referred to the holy spirit or the spirit of god as separate from himself.
John 14:16, John 14:26, and John 16:7
There are many more texts to back my theory but I think the ones I have provided should suffice to bring it home. Also, in John his reference to the comforter for those that don't know is another way to describe the holy spirit.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
