In the teachings of this religion, two twin essences emerged from these two forces, one of which is a pure essence or a growing and constructive thought, and the other is an impure essence or a destructive and destructive thought. On the other hand, the word "Mino" means thought and character. If a person is accompanied by a good thought and character and lives with a good thought and good speech, he will gradually become an angel and become Spanta Mino.
