The supreme deity, the Great Life (Hayyi Rabbi), emanates light-beings (uthras). The material world was created by a flawed demiurge (Ptahil). The physical world is a mixture of light and darkness. Water is the primordial sacred element.

Ginza Rabba (Great Treasury) as primary scripture. John the Baptist as chief prophet. Repeated ritual immersion in flowing water.

To liberate the soul (nishimta) from the material world and return it to the World of Light (Alma d-Nhura). Life is valued — celibacy and asceticism are rejected. The soul must navigate purgatories (matartas) after death.

Suffering results from the entrapment of light-souls in the material world created by the demiurge. Darkness and ignorance oppose the World of Light. However, the physical world is not entirely evil — life and procreation are sacred.

At the end of time, the physical world will be consumed and all light-souls gathered back into the World of Light. The material world will cease to exist. Final judgment of souls based on deeds and ritual purity.
