FOUR-FOLD DIETY
Amin - 4 Fold Manifestation

Nazoreans worship a fourfold God - The Life, Their Light, Power and Wisdom. Nazoreans have many names for this Deity, taken from many traditions and languages. The Fourfold God  is actually four groups of god-goddess pairs.  This fourfold God is similar to the concept of four Jewels in Bon Buddhism (which became the Buddha, Dharma, Sangha and Lama of Tibetan Buddhism) and the Ogdoad of Valentinian Gnosticism. LIFE is an acronym describing this Four Fold Deity:

  • Living Ones (God/Purity): Father of Life (Heavenly Father) and Mother of Life (Heavenly Mother)
  • Illumination (Light): Radiant Light (Yeshu-Ziwa/Jesus) and Luminous Light (Miriam-Noorah/ Maiden of Light)
  • Five-fold God (Power): Living Spirit (Male Holy Spirit/Mani) and Living Mother (Female Holy Spirit/Miryai)
  • Enlightenment (Wisdom): Male Light Mind (Prophets/Buddhas like Shenrab) and Female Light Mind (Prophetesses/Dakinis)
