Manichaeism taught an elaborate dualistic cosmology<\/a> describing the struggle<\/a> between a good<\/a>, spiritual world of light, and an evil<\/a>, material world of darkness. Through an ongoing process which takes place in human history, light is gradually removed from the world of matter and returned to the world of light, whence it came. Its beliefs were based on local Mesopotamian<\/a> gnostic<\/a> and religious movements. [Wikipedia<\/strong><\/em><\/a>]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
