Divine Spark

The Divine Spark is the idea, found in various religious and mystical traditions, that a fragment of the divine or a piece of God's essence exists within each human being. It suggests that spiritual enlightenment involves awakening or reconnecting with this inner divinity to transcend the material world.

"Both Gnosticism and Quakerism emphasize the Divine Spark, with Gnostics viewing it as a trapped fragment of God needing liberation through knowledge, while Quakers believe it is an inner light that guides individuals toward truth and spiritual integrity".
