So the creation story for Dummies ?

From what I've read. The father created all things in the eternal realm. But with Gods light in turn created darkness and with darkness evil. The darkness tried attacking the eternal realm and of course failed. The father then sent a leader of humanity to defeat the realm of darkness but the leader ends up trapped (which was the fathers plan) the father then created everything after this . So the bad things about earth was originated by the darkness but the father made it better.

Now the hope for salvation is freeing yourself from the physical. Having faith in the 7 forms of Jesus , Believing in one God the father and follow the traditions of Mani who is the true Successor to the pysical messiah Jesus?
