| | The highest of the Taoist divinities are the Three Pure Ones of the Prior Heavens. | | | The 3 Pure Ones are the highest Deities in all of Taoism. | | | Some people believe in the 3 Pure Ones as Gods representing and controlling the various stages of energy in the cosmos, while some people prefer to focus on the 3 Pure Ones as purely representative of the three energies (jing, qi, and shen) cultivated by Taoist meditations. |

| | The Cathars (Pure Ones), or Albigensians (People of Albi), who were nearly exterminated in the south of France by the French kings and nobles, in league with the Inquisition, were spiritual descendants of Manicheans. | | | Sects believing in a purely spiritual God higher than the creator God, and spirit as alien to body in humankind, were particularly strong at first in Asia Minor and Armenia. | | | In the same way, he said, the Enlightened One's teaching is of one essence, but each seeker will respond according to his or her capacity. |

| | These men and women were the remnants of the pure followers and descendants of Moses who had continued to perform their powerful daily prayers, meditations and spiritual techniques for over a thousand years. | | | However, a glimmer of the spiritual light from the teachings and techniques of Moses was kept alive by the most spiritual of the Jewish people, the ones known as the Essenes, who were also known as the “Pure Ones”. | | | As a compromise to the “Pure Ones”, the leaders agreed to store the true history of the Jewish people, together with the ancient spiritual techniques and teachings of Moses, including the outlawed method for DNA ancestral memory activation, with a few leaders of the new priest caste of rabbis. |

| | The temple is dedicated to three Daoist gods who personify highly abstract cosmological categories rather than concerns of daily life (not medicine and healing, but the "Heavenly Lord of the Great Beginning" whence all things originate, for instance). | | | Those from the temples had also brought a statue of their local god, seated in a sedan chair, for the god, too, was coming to pay his or her respects to the Three Pure Ones. | | | Historically, Daoism has been a major organized religion in China since at least the 2nd century, from which we have records of numerous scriptures revealed by Lord Lao, the divinized form of Laozi and personification of the Dao. |

| | It is also widely accepted among enlightened scholars that in this evolution a number of entities, fragments of the One, usually called the Pure Ones, developed and either fragmented further or were stabilised in the form of Celestines and Uthras, which then were gradually developed and defined by the beliefs of mankind. | | | Ialdabaoth could also be identified with Uranus in Greek Mythology, who was born from Gaia (the other part of the One, who had emerged from Chaos, the original state of perfection), and then mated with her to produce the rest of creation. | | | As we all know, the Gnostics claim that the origin of the Sundering was that the entity known as Ialdabaoth identified itself as separate from the One, as described in the Book of Eight Aeons. |
