To Manes.
Who is Mans?
The youth of Nain, who was embodied at the time of Christ Jesus – and was initiated by him for a later time in Christianity.
Three important Manichaean principles are:
- There is no matter, there is only evil (resistance, pressure of the spirits of mammon).
- There is no such physical body as we believe we see today. There are only the forces of Ahriman. The difference between the physical body, which is already something spiritual (phantom), and the mineral body, the forces of Ahriman. At the last incarnation, the body will appear as a glorified body, as was the body in which Christ Jesus appeared after the resurrection. (Phantom)
- We should love and cherish this Earth because Jesus Christ walked upon it and because it provided the materials for Jesus Christ.
We should find time to detach ourselves from the physical world.
