• The temporal world and everything within it was created by the Devil
• Everything that has to do with this world is impure
• Nothing is worth enjoying
• Nothing is worth saving
• The less one conforms to life on earth, the closer one is to God
• believe they are repeatedly reincarnated on Earth until they attain spiritual perfection, allowing them to die for the last time and escape this Creation
• in the Kingdom of Heaven all souls are the same, no males, no females, indeed no bodies or visual form at all
• The division of humans into sexes is a creation of the Devil
• Carnal love is the ultimate trap laid to corrupt the spirit and keep it perpetually in his grip.
• Removing any signs of the sexual division is an effort to get closer to God.
