Re: How the Illuminati Really Began.
I honestly believe that hierarchical systems are much easier to explain then being based on scientific understanding and manipulation.

Alpha dominance in pack animals is something I see every day in the wild dogs I feed. They in turn keep the coyotes at bay. Dominance, which I have seen transferred 5 times, is conferred to not the strongest, but the most aggressive.

Peoples interactions are a little more persistent and fraught in psychodrama, but a good punch in the face usually captures some attention and makes points. Peer influences frown on this behaviour since we are a bureaucratic species and need to make illusory subsystems to keep the systemic transfers occuring. We also share exchange power for allowing others to transition to power.

The wise amongst us have solely created a system to keep the potential alphas at bay, by criminalizing their behaviour and creating complex rules which bore most to tears and undermine their tenacity.

Since we are a self serving species, oftentimes the most related and not most worthy are elevated to power. This undermines us and creates a more powerful enforcement class, which propagates itself. Females, seeking power to line the nest choose the illusory alphas and further enforce the system. Thank gods for the sexual chaos and need for females to bow to nature or we'd all be a bunch of chinless fucks. ;)

No summary needed, its bullshit!

Here goes, the Illuminati pretty well started as wandering mystics, it was first formalized as an order by Pythagoras, who learned & collated all the teachings of the mystics. I forget the actual nitty-gritty of it all, but thats it in a nutshell.

Not as exciting, but at least its the truth!

I see, that sort of ties in to what I know.

as I posted, Pythagoras was the first official Grand Master, & part of how he learned of the mysteries were through his travels on his father's ship, in mystical-laden places such as Persia, ect. Wouldn't you have just LOVED to travel around the place on your fathers ship, absorbing the knowlege of the Middle-Eastern mystics rather than stuck in your classroom at school?

Don't believe the absolute CRAP about the Illumiati, the best way to fight your enemy(as in, the Illuminati) is to demonize them. The truth is finally getting out there

This video is absolutley correct. Wise men discovered how to predict eclipses while the majority of the surroundingpopulace were hunter gatherers. This allowed them to exploit and control their fellow man. This same group became the royal blood li.es ordained by God once civilization and agriculture came around. This same conglomerate of families and secret so ities till this day have in their posession every secret that has been accomplished or discovered throughout history including but not limited to truth about Jesus atlantis Ufo tech elixir levitation regeneration how to access other dimensions etc.

Was there ever a trace of the word "Illuminati" as a mystical society before the XVIIIth century?

Me think not.


Now don't get me wrong, there were mystery schools, gnostic sects, secret hermetic societies, lonely alchemists and Greek philosophers and there followers.

All influencing each others, all influenced by their predecessors, all leaving scriptures for their heirs to be inspired. But to believe there ever was ONE leading group, with one single hierarchy and one immutable teaching, that's wishful thinking.

Wise and enlightened people each adding their stone to the monument, sometimes disagreeing and fighting, sometimes sharing common belief and banding together for a few centuries, that I can believe.

But "Illuminati" as a continuous group from the Golden Age till today?

I wholeheartedly concur, but are you saying that there has been no continuation in knowledge? That is why I address matters that are oriented towards control mechanisms and Sects that were forced to occlude their knowledge i.e gnosticism, judaism and the like. The church romanus has historically destroyed any scriven texts and physically killed or intimidated whole populations, but their Ideas persist and yes it has been the academic geeks of many ilks that have perpetuated it.

This is why we have ages where discourse is open and then the geeks must flee and organize to protect that which the self perpetuating elite of forms ecclesiastical and secular have enforced, simply, to enforce uniformity to their bias.

So, ultimately, history dictates there was never a consistent need for consistent occlusion.

Green eyes are the mutation around meditteranean Celts stemming from migrations of the east and middle east. Solely, why I brought up the historical correlation between Scots and those in the Balkans.

These Ideas fused from Egyptian, Persian, Grecian and Indian subcontinent vedic and Celtic earth fertility practices.

Blue eyes stemmed from a migration north of the caucauses and found itself in the UK much later from Danish and Viking incursions.

Yes, no continuation. Evolution.

Just like Nature evolves, so do ideas.

Any honest student of the ancient philosophies can only marvel at the similarity of the core teachings, and yet at the countless discrepancies and contradiction of some concepts.

So for me, there's only one Truth, and it is very simple (could be summarized in one sentence). Everything else is details and subject to personal bias.
