Illuminati History
Historically Illuminati is a term referring to a Bavarian secret society that was aimed at opposing superstitious beliefs and the influence of religion over the masses. This society was founded back in 1776, May 1 with the aim of fighting prejudice and correct the imbalances of the society like "gender equity"and the abuse of the state power. Founded by a German Philosopher Johann Adam Weishaupt, who adopted the name "Brother Spartacus" , this group was about society equality and freedom.
As part of the group's practices, members had to take a vow of complete secrecy and to always abide to their masters or superiors. Illuminati members were divided into three stages according to the degrees. So this was secret society that the Bavarian Weishaupt had founded. Most of this Bavarian Illuminati society had it's laws and chapters drawn from the masonic society which was already existing at the time.
Let us have a look at the Masonic Society's History and Principles ( Free Masons):
Widely known as a Satanic secret society by almost everyone across the globe, this society dates back in the 1390s. This society believes in the principle of a "Supreme Being", basically there is no rule, law or higher power that these people conform under. The very first "Masonic Grand Lodge" was founded in 24 June 1717, known as the Grand Lodge of England. But there are some claims that the masonic lodges have long existed in Scotland dating back in the 16th Century. This Grand LOdge of England is nowadays also referred to as "The Ancient Grand Ldge of England", it is believed to be the Head quarters of Freemasons. Followed by the Grand of Ireland and that one in Scotland in 1725 and 1736, The Freemasons were growing and extending in other popular states back in that era leading to being exported to the British Colonies in North America during the 1730s.
It was in December 1730 when the first and know American Masonic Lodges were founded. One of the very first lodges in the States were in Pennsylvania even Benjamin Franklin’s Gazzette states that “there were several Lodges of Freemasons erected in this Province.”
Masonic Lodge
A masonic Lodge is the Freemasons parliament where they hold meetings and initiations, promote or demote the members of this society and all other activities any society would have. Initiated members should remain Freemasons for the rest of their entire lives. It is where the elections of the president , deacons, wardens , stewards and chaplains of this society take place.
Illuminati and Freemason Degrees ( Masonic Degrees)
Masonry has three degrees of classification known as :
1. Entered Apprentice Mason ( Initial Illuminati Stage)
The degree given to one when they become a member of Freemasons. This is the initial stage of this society.
2. Fellow Craft Mason ( Illuminati second Stage)
This degree however is called an intermediate degree of the free masons, this is the stage of learning the teachings and the rest of the guidelines of the masons.
3. Master Mason ( Illuminati Master)
This is the Freemasons and the Illuminati's highest degree as this stage you are the master of participation and activities. These degrees they are representations of one's progress and development within the Freemasons and the Illuminati. Freemasons and Illuminati members have to interpret the lessons and the teachings of the society their own way themselves. As there is no single or main meaning and definition to the Freemason's and Illuminati's allegories.This society uses signs and symbol to help them make sense and meaning of life's philosophical questions. So if you're a Freemason or Illuminati member, you have the signs and symbol as your guidelines. Therefore there's no excuse for one's act, you don't have to explain your actions to anyone, what you do is considered right if your interpretation says it is.
Illuminati and Freemasons Principles and activities
Like any other society, the Illuminati and Freemasons also have principles as guidelines to the activities of the societies. These esoteric societies have a strong rule of secrecy, what ever that happens in the Illuminati or Freemason society, remains part of the society and it is not to be publicised. As much as these secret societies have been exposed , their works still remain a secret.
Illuminati And Freemason Ritual, symbolism, and morality
Illuminati and Masonic rituals are different from one group or society to the next. Basically each society is allowed to set it's own ritual , but even though they still share some similarities. As these societies have their own way of setting rituals, they use set of symbols as part of their principles. There are two most popular symbols of the Illuminati and Freemasons, these are, The "Square and The "Compass. But there is no fixed interpretation of these symbols as members are responsible for interpreting symbols their own way. even so , in some societies you'd find similar interpretation of these symbols but it is not a rule though.
Illuminati and Masons have principles and morals that a member has to learn as he progresses within the society. These morals and principles are part of the rituals of the society and serves as the tools to help a member understands himself as he continue to progress and also relate to fellow members of the Illuminati and Freemason.
As the Illuminati and Freemasons believe in the concept of a "Supreme Being" or to what is known as "The Volume of A Sacred Law", every member has to declare in the belief of a supreme being, even though this can mean a whole lot of things. The "Volume of A Sacred Law" is the societies bible with all the principles and beliefs of the society. But a member is not forced to explain his interpretation since in this society there is no rule that says a member must justify his actions. These secret societies do not discuss any matters like religion or politics.
Members of the Illuminati and Freemason make use of signs and words to identify one another and communicate special messages. They make it easier for them to easily identify an outsider since these signs are kept a secret and interpreted in different ways from one group to the next. Illuminati and Masons are required to swear never to reveal any of sign meanings to anyone and always abide by the laws and tradition, and also keep rituals and practices a secret. If a member fails to abide by the laws, there are penalties that a member faces but they are set by a society and may differ from others. There are ancient laws and rules ofcourse that can never be changed with in the Illuminati and mason society, these are called " The Landmarks".
As much as these societies keep their rituals a secret, they do a lot of charitable activities for outside people. Masons and Illuminati members have a policy of offering funds or any form of charity like Educational, Domestic and Health grants to the outsiders which also kind of confuses people as these societies are said to be isolated.
The Illuminati and Masonry Requirements
In the rules of these societies it is stated that it is not a religion nor a government, but society in belief of supreme being which a member can interpret it in his way. This serves as the basic requirement that a member willing to join should be able to live in accordance to the general belief of these societies which is the Supreme Being.
But there are basic requirements that one has to fulfil to become a member.
Members must :
A person who acts out of his own will
Believe in the concept of "Supreme Being" , with your own interpretation . Not be a part of any religion or politics.
Be at the age of 18, but some need to be 25. But there's also an exception for son of a a Mason.
Be a reputable person with morals.
Be capable of furnishing character references, as well as one or two references from current Masons, depending on jurisdiction.
We have looked at the historical and basic principles of the Illuminati and free masons, but nowadays these societies have changed. Most people believe it refers to various societies claiming or purported to have unsubstantiated links to the original Bavarian Illuminati or similar secret societies, and often alleged to dominate, conspire to control the whole world affairs. These entities are aimed at masterminding events and planting agents within the government and big industries for world domination and introducing what they call "The New World Order" to establish a New World Order and gain further political power and influence. The Illuminati we know of nowadays as the society abusing their powers and pulling strings to control the masses by using power, money, media and a lot of things to mislead the world.
