THE ORIGIN OF THE ILLUMINATI
Origin of the Illuminati
When the word Illuminati is mentioned, several things immediately come to mind; Bilderberg, New World Order, the Cabal, celebrities, and politicians to name a few. But, whether or not the Illuminati is a covert organization of reptilians with an esoteric agenda for global domination via subliminal enslavement, or a secret club of elites who throw strange occult parties, it does have a traceable origin similar to the Freemasons.
The Illuminati date back to the mid-1700s, founded by a Bavarian professor at the University of Ingolstadt named Adam Weishaupt. Weishaupt was a law professor, followed by an even higher honor of Professor of Natural and Canon Law. Unfortunately, he butted heads with the Jesuit priests of the University. Weishaupt’s world-views were more cosmopolitan and liberal than the bucolic, dogmatic views of the priesthood. In response, he created the Illuminati, a secret society eponymously promoting enlightenment as well as moral progress.
The priesthood, waging significant political power in those days, revoked his academic credentials and had him banished from the country. He moved on to Germany where he was better received and free to form the foundation of the Illuminati and its philosophy.
The mission statement of Weishaupt’s Illuminati was, “by the mutual assistance of its members, to attain the highest possible degree of morality and virtue, and to lay the foundation for the reformation of the world by the association of good men to oppose the progress of moral evil.”
While his ambitions were ostensibly noble, Weishaupt intended to change the way European nations were run, by subversive means. Acceptance requirements to become a member of the Illuminati consisted primarily of wealth, societal influence, and political pull. Members of the society consisted of bankers, politicians, doctors, and those of general upper-class importance. Thus, planting the seeds for the modern conception or iteration of the Illuminati. One of the original members’ names that is still highly recognized and associated today with the Illuminati was Mayer Amschel Rothschild.
The Founding Father
The Illuminati was founded by Weishaupt in the year 1776, a significant year in American history. It is pretty commonly known that many of the founding fathers were members of the freemasons.
| Given many names by spiritual leaders and unexplainable by science, the Light is an invisible guide that many believe has led them to joy, success, and lives of Abundance. It communicates directly to every human, urging them to strive for goodness and forgo their natural selfishness. |
All human religions and spiritual beliefs ultimately seek the Light in ways differing only in form and function.
| Some religions refer to the Light with a name, such as God or Elohim. The core of every religion is founded on the human species’ innate desire to understand this invisible force. Even without a formal religious affiliation, every human is naturally drawn to the Light. Individual members of the Illuminati adhere to every variety of personal spiritual beliefs –– but by recognizing that all of our paths lead to the same destination, we find that the Light brings all people into an ultimate unity. |
There is no proof that a God exists
but there is also no proof that a God does not.
The Illuminati’s spiritual foundation is based upon this universal conundrum of faith and doubt. Our organization does not question whether a god does or does not exist but instead focuses on the betterment of the humans living on this planet.
Though the human mind in its physical form is not capable of fully understanding the Light, conscious thought and intention reveal many of its inner workings and effects. By studying the wisdom of this planet’s greatest minds, humans can discover ways to increase the Light’s powerful influence in their lives.
George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and John Hancock were notable masons, and the influence of their membership can be seen in the philosophies they imbued in the Constitution as well as symbolism in our currency.
The basic explanation is that they were simply freemasons who kept their philosophies secret because they clashed with church doctrine, but some believe it to be deeper and linked to the Illuminati. The use of symbolism of the all-seeing eye above a pyramid on the dollar bill is said to have come from Weishaupt. The Latin words encircling the pyramid translate to “it has favored our undertakings, a new order of the ages” or some take it to mean “the Announcement of a New World Order.”
Conspiracy Theories
The Illuminati has become a household term now with its popularization in media and pop culture. Conspiracies range to the extent of the power of the Illuminati but must maintain that the group is made up of high-brow politicians, bankers, business moguls, and celebrities. On the end of the spectrum, these members are thought to be alien reptilian species controlling humanity.
The most notorious of the clandestine groups associated with the Illuminati is the Bilderberg Group. The Bilderbergers hold an annual meeting, which is no secret and is ostensibly held to discuss issues about European and North American relations.
The Bilderberg website states that the meeting is an amalgam of leaders and experts from politics, media, and business who are invited to discuss megatrends and major issues facing the world. What makes the meetings mysterious and has led to conspiracies surrounding them, is that they are held under the “Chatham Rule,” meaning the identities of all attendees are kept secret.
Conspiracies surrounding the plans hashed out at Bilderberg meetings concern the plotting of a New World Order through methods ranging from population control to the spread of pandemics, to Chemtrails, geo-engineering, and a secret space program.
Other tactics thought to be discussed at these meetings include bribery and the compromising of politicians through various means. A major point of contention, for American citizens that are potentially involved in these meetings, is that they are breaking the law through the Logan Act, which prohibits unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments that have disputes with the U.S.
