| | At about the age of 24, Mani received a special revelation from God, according to which he was called to perfect the incomplete religions founded by earlier prophets--Zoroaster, Buddha, and Christ. | | | Founded by Mani the sage, who claimed divine revelation and preached that he was the final prophet of God in the world, after Adam, Buddha, Jesus Christ and Zarathushtra. | | | In Mani's myth man is lost and fallen in existence, but in essence he is a particle of Light and thus one in substance with God. |

| | Mani |
| | In Norse mythology, Mani was the god of the moon and a son of Mundilfari and Glaur. | | | Mani was a third-century Persian prophet, the founder of the dualistic Manichaean religion, which borrowed eclectically from Christianity, Zoroastrianism, and Buddhism. | | | Mani is unusual because lunar deities tend to be female, nearly universally, probably because of the connection between menstruation and the phases of the moon. |

| | The Holy Spirit is our Christian Goddess, Mother Mary and Mary Magdalene personify a female Holy Spirit and the Bride of Christ |
| | In the Gospel of Mani, we find a trinitarian doxology, derived from some ancient Christian group, which praises the power of the Father, the blessing of the Mother and the goodness of the Son. | | | She was understood to be a personified female, she accompanied the dispossessed Jews and mourned with them in their troubles and persecutions, and she is believed to be an intermediary between God and the world. | | | Finally, in John's Gospel, the Holy Spirit which Jesus promises his disciples serves the feminine function of comforting and reassuring Christians whose faith is threatened by persecution. |
