Manichaeism
manichaeism
- 1556, Christian sect, named for founder, Mani (L. Manichжus), Syriac-speaking apostle from a Jesus cult in Mesopotamia in 240s, who taught a universal religion. Vegetarian and visionary, they saw "particles of light and goodness" trapped in evil matter and regarded Satan as co-eternal with God. The universe was a scene of struggle between good and evil. The sect was characterized by dualism and a double-standard of perfectionist "elects" and a larger group of fellow travellers who would require several reincarnations before their particles of light would be liberated.
