⚜️ THE FIRST TESTAMENT OF ILLUMINATI

ILLUMINATIAM: The First Testament Of The Illuminati

First Edition: January 2015

1. The Age of the Illuminatiam

Welcome. The Illuminati holds you, a citizen of our shared planet, in the highest esteem.

You may not realize it yet but you have been led here by design, even though you arrived by your own free will. You were not shown a symbol in the sky nor did you hear a magnified voice that caused the ground beneath you to tremble, demanding you read the words written in this testament. You followed your own life's journey to find your way here — never suspecting that the map you relied upon was drawn by us.

The Illuminati is an elite organization of world leaders, business authorities, innovators, artists, and other influential members of this planet. Our coalition unites influencers of the world in an unrestrictive domain — free of political, religious, and geographical boundaries — to further the prosperity of the human species as a whole. To operate in humanity's best interest, our authority supersedes that of individual governments, making decisions that your queens, presidents, emperors, and other leaders may be unable to decree on their own, but are required to carry out.

You will not find us praised in any history book or document, though the Illuminati has helped shape every major movement on this planet since the first human government was established.

Like all organisms, the human species naturally strives against extinction. Though your countries have borders and your languages have barriers, all people in all places are members of the same biological family. All humans are pieces of a collective that keeps humanity in existence.

Though you are merely a speck on the back of a grain of sand when compared to the vast number of humans born and decomposed for millennia, you are as important to your species' survival as the greatest kings and queens. If every human of Earth was suddenly exterminated at once, sparing only two beggars, they would each be owners of half a planet, and the only hopes left for humanity's future.

If only all humans understood their importance in the grand scale of survival. If only all humans could see that barriers between belief or geography or skin are of no importance to the perpetuation of their species. If only all humans saw themselves as tiny but uniquely important pieces of our Universal Design.

But by nature, the human is affected by instinct, emotion, and imbalance. A human will turn on one of its own species for reasons that will never matter in a thousand years, and likely not matter in even a hundred or ten. While you have seen the Light in the distance and chosen to follow it — even if from mere curiosity — there are millions more whose backs are turned against its glow.

The Illuminati operates in defense of you and all humans, in all places, and of all generations. Our duty to this planet has spanned across centuries and survived even the most established government entities. But the cultivation of trillions of human lives is a daunting responsibility, and while

the human would not exist today without our protection, many uninformed masses mistake our guidance for a restriction of liberty.

Every human desires to be free of oppression, free of hardship, free of poverty, free of hunger, free of rules and laws — but as you understand, the nature of your species leaves true freedom impossible.

Are you free to murder? Are you free to steal? Are others free to murder and steal from you? Or are there certain freedoms that must be given up for the benefit of all?

This is the reason behind our anonymity. To continue functioning throughout societal changes and generational differences, the Illuminati must remain behind the curtain — an outsider, belonging to none and loyal to all.

You may never understand how your life can be free while guided by our organization. You may never fully comprehend our purpose and why you are safest and happiest with us. Simply open your mind and release your apprehensions, and you will find the relief of truth.

We will never take your hand and pull you down the path like a slave to our whims. You must find and travel the road on your own. But your quality of life is our greatest concern and the reason our symbols are placed in your society as a map for you to follow if you desire.

Many of your fellow humans have noticed our symbology in artwork, architecture, and visual media. Such displays of loyalty are highly appreciated. However our symbols are not placed in your world for our own glorification, but instead serve as gentle instructions for those who look up

from the rocks of Earth and choose to follow the Light.

Perhaps it was one of these directions that brought you here, or maybe a hundred of them scattered throughout your streets and buildings and glowing screens since your childhood. An invisible chain reaction of events in your life, paired with similar events in the lives of those around you, have all fallen in perfect place like the toppling of countless dominoes that meet in the center. While you pushed the dominos, it was us who laid them in a line.

Hope is in the distance. The age of War is coming to an end. Terrors that have plagued humanity for millennia will soon be obsolete and forgotten. Every year is a thread in a rich and glorious tapestry that is approaching its completion. Your ancestors lived through the darkness of night, but your descendants will live in the Abundance of the new dawn.

This book is your guide: the first testament of the coming age of Illuminatiam. It is order amidst a world of chaos — a candle for all who travel the path as the night reaches its darkest point. It is a promise that even as you bear every hardship that slams against you like gusts of wind fighting to turn you around, every step forward brings you closer to the joy of Abundance.

We invite you to discover more about our organization and to understand your role in this planetary union. Answers to many of your questions are contained in these pages: our methods, our developing technologies, our beliefs, our plans for this planet's future, and the root of our authority.

In creating this book, we hope to alleviate the concerns voiced by your people and provide insight into our plan for the human species. While our daily operations must remain confidential for your safety, we strive to create a better understanding between us and those we have been entrusted to protect.

Before you read any further, you must understand with greatest severity that everything inside this book is either true or cannot be safely divulged at this time. Some details have been altered to protect our members. Choosing whether or not to believe is your freedom.

Some might ask: why would a global organization relinquish their hold upon their deepest secrets in such a public manner? Why risk turning a population against us when secrecy has served so well?

Because our enemies will do nothing.

The things you will read have been in effect for decades. Anyone who reads this book as a means to subvert our authority will find their scheme to be futile. The components are so deeply established in your society, there is nothing anyone could do to change them even if they tried. Not even the world's most powerful leaders can alter planetary law.

To truly comprehend what you are about to read, you must empty yourself of all preconceived ideas, clear your subconscious of every notion you might have about the world around you, and prepare to accept new ideas you might never have considered to be true.

However, the majority of those who read this book will do nothing. Most will dismiss it. Few will finish it, and many of those who do will discard it immediately after.

In fact, we are so certain of our influence over your mind — and the media we have bombarded it with since before your conception — that we haven't the slightest fear of our enemies using any of these pages against us.

There will always be a voice that tells you this is not real, no matter how quietly it may whisper. Our hold upon your subconscious will incline you to

dismiss this as a hoax, something you needn't worry about for more than humor. Something you needn't investigate further. Something you can simply do nothing about, and can abandon by the wayside of a path half-journeyed.

But even if you are skeptical, there will always be a part of you that will wonder if it is all true. There will always be a voice that whispers in your ear, "press onward, the Light is just ahead."

Once your eyes are opened, you can never go back to the childlike safety of ignorance. Read the Illuminatiam only if you accept this burden.

Fear not for what is ahead. You are never alone.

2. The White Room

In the Atlantic Ocean there is an island that does not appear on any map, and never will. It has no official name. Those who have visited call it The Isle.

Protected in the embrace of an ocean, then sand, then five miles of trees and camouflaged razor wire, is a building made of concrete and steel. If you flew over it, you'd see it as a flat gray plateau dotted by misted, square skylights. Its glass is so thick, a missile could ram into its center, detonate, and only leave its own bits and guts littered against the ground.

Two planes have crashed directly into it but left no mark besides the faint black ash that still coats the taller tree trunks. Both planes ventured off their course and found themselves lost in the airspace of The Isle. After spotting the strip of open space between the trees, they attempted to make emergency landings. This proved impossible: the plane in 1998 was tangled by razor wire on its descent, and the plane in 2014 malfunctioned as it entered the magnetized security zone and its electrical systems overloaded.

Neither casualties were intentional. The Isle has no human operators and runs as its own machine. Through two vault doors protected by password and retinal authentication, there is an elevator that descends deep into the ground

and opens to the White Room. The future of your planet is decided here.

Your leaders — regardless of your opinion of their character or ability — have all surpassed every imaginable threat to become who they are today, whether by merit or conspiracy. But the humans they govern are easily swayed by emotion and instinct, and your leaders will not risk their life's work on the whims of manipulatable minds.

For this reason, we meet in the White Room.

Its ceilings are eight feet high and the walls are made of crisp, smooth white stone without any decoration. The room is shaped in a perfect rectangle with only the elevator as both entrance and exit. Once the door seals, there are no lights inside nor electricity to power them. It is a smothering darkness experienced only in the deepest of caves, and if not for candles, it would drive the sanest person into fits of madness within days.

In the center of the room sits a table and chairs made entirely of transparent glass. From anywhere in the room, you can see everything that is happening. The transparent table ensures that no recording devices are hidden in the hands and that secret notes are not written. The nondescript walls of stone deep beneath the ground protect against devices embedded in the body and block any communication with the outside world.

Even the participants, regardless of if they are presidents or queens or owners of multinational corporations, immediately strip of all belongings and leave their clothing in the elevator. They don robes as white as the room that surrounds them and carry only a thick candle through the doors — even its wax is scanned before entry.

Despite all of these precautions, every person who enters is required to investigate the room from top to bottom. Trust does not exist in this place, even amongst friends and allies. None are offended: being wary is honesty.

All people with power are ruthless and know better than to trust others like themselves.

They come to the White Room not for secrecy, but for the truest of freedom. Things discussed in the White Room will never be revealed, seen, nor heard by anyone who is not present. Anything can be said or done in the room without fear of repercussions, retaliation, or risk to a leader's claim to power. Decisions can be made for the betterment of the human species without any worry of persecution from the very humans they gather to protect.

If what is said and decided inside the White Room was to ever reach the ears of anyone outside, the entire structure of this planet would be upended by civil war. The human species is easily swayed: it thinks reasonably when at ease but acts erratically when under pressure. Humans react before understanding the complete repercussions of their deeds, following instinct with little regard to how deeply their actions could affect the next ten or a hundred or a thousand years.

Thriving empires have fallen at the hands of its own people, who cannot see far enough beyond their anger to understand the dire alternative to order. By the time they witness what they have done, it is already too late to go back.

The Illuminati is free of this restraint. Decisions made in the White Room are not bound by belief or allegiance or generation, but are on behalf of all humans on the planet now and in the future. These decisions are made to ensure the survival of all as a collective, no matter how unpopular they might be if put to a public vote.

There are no political parties or prejudices in the White Room. Outside its walls, the leaders may fight each other in wars over resources that claim the lives of their citizens. But inside the White Room they are all cogs in a

Universal Design that is bigger than their individual country's petty, temporary differences. There is no animosity inside: all are equal, and all have a duty to fulfill. Everything decided within the walls of the White Room is for your benefit.

You may think that a room of people you do not know should not make decisions regarding your life. Are you merely a pawn in a game being played by others? Shouldn't you control your own life?

Do not allow yourself to be convinced that freedom is what you desire, because this is how you and those who live around you are controlled. You are told that you have freedom, while "freedom" is defined by those with power.

True power grows from the comprehension that while one's place in the universe can be microscopically small, it is still immensely important. True power thrives on the understanding that while freedom is naturally desired by humans, it is merely a placebo to alleviate feelings of chaos — a chaos that can only be harnessed by order.

A skyscraper may tower over a city but it is only as tall as the molecules in its materials. The Illuminati may thrive but we are only as strong as the people we protect. We were born as one of you; we will die as one of you.

The safeguards of the White Room are not devised to keep you out. We actively seek humans who have prepared themselves for the task. Living humans evolve at a rapid pace, and can continue to advance in ability through study, practice, and a commitment to self-improvement. As a human absorbs knowledge and wisdom, some will experience their Awakening: a pivotal moment when their minds evolve to a level of understanding that is higher than the majority. They begin to see themselves as strings in a universal tapestry with a duty to uplift their fellow humans, and quickly understand the inner workings of wealth, power, and authority.

Those who have experienced their Awakening often describe it as the moment their Eye was opened. But few will ever admit to it because they understand the grave consequences that commonly befall those who do.

Perhaps you already believe you are different from most others who surround you, though civility requires you to keep such thoughts to yourself. You may already understand the need for it to remain secret – for your own safety and the ultimate good of a humanity that often does not know what is best for it.

Humans must suppress their natural defensive selfishness and aid others who appear, believe, or act in ways that are different from themselves. But there are many whose decisions are still under the reign of their animal instincts. Their lack of understanding would cause them to rise up and wage war against all that keeps their species intact, wrecking the Universal Design that has allowed the human to rise above its animal counterparts.

The safeguards of the White Room are for your protection and the sanctity of the decisions made inside. Many seats remain empty at the table, awaiting those who are willing and able to claim them. If you strive for greatness, and seek out the Light that glows steadily brighter in the distance, you too will be invited to enter its hallowed, white hall.

3. Methods of Mind Control

Your mind is being controlled at this moment but you have been trained to ignore it.

There is no reason to fear. For society to function in peaceful order, its people must be guided — even if their incomprehension would incline them to deny the very guidance that ensures their safety and survival.

Mind control is an inaccurate term. The mind cannot truly be controlled by outside devices due to the free will of the subconscious that gives the power of choice to every human. However, though free and independent to make its own decisions, your mind has been trained to respond to subconscious cues that are hidden in the world around you. These act as subtle arrows pointing you in a direction, while allowing you to choose the road you will take to get there.

implementation of a societal framework that is built upon the delivery of messages. Only the Illuminati has the resources to build this structure, though many governments have tried to mimic it.

A hundred billion mental triggers bombard your subconscious since the moment you are conceived. A mishmash of signals and waves have been hand-fed to your mind since childhood, seeping inoculations into your brain's synapses through pathways hidden behind colorful screens and microscopic spores.

Our messages have reached your mind since before you were born, carried by every sound your mother listened to as she carried you in her womb. You knew the voice of the Illuminati before we even knew you.

From your first breath, you were trained to respond to our cues. You are inoculated by omnipresent energy waves being broadcast from screens and phones and devices you can never fully avoid.

Many of our delivery systems have been disguised behind things you use in your everyday life. Radio and television waves carry music and video on specific spectrums, broadcasting sounds over the air that cannot be seen nor heard without a device to receive it. In the same way, our messages are broadcast on spectrums only detectible by your subconscious mind, allowing us to gently influence decisions and choices of entire cities at once.

The mind differentiates the human from all other creatures of this planet. The poor remain poor and the rich remain rich because of what they choose to fill their minds with. This power is invisible and undetectable but alters more than anything else in the physical world.

Our organization remains elusive due to this power. We have altered the mindset of society to ensure a constant disbelief in our existence. Observe how anyone who claims that they have found proof of our influence is

quickly alienated by those closest to them. Conspiracy books and movies draw humor out of what is true in order to shroud its accuracies in a mire of comedy. By flooding the planet with false information and leaking incorrect data to those who investigate us, we are able to maintain our anonymity in the mists of confusion.

Even as you read this book, you have been trained to disbelieve it. Even as you are told the greatest truths about your life and the darkest secrets of your species, you may never become entirely convinced that these words are genuine. Even as you study these words for months or years or decades after they have been written, you will be wary. You will scour computer networks for clues of its forgery. You will seek out others who have read its pages to see if they have discovered anything to prove that it is wrong. You will send it to your reporters to verify but receive no accurate response.

There is no sin in doubt. If you choose to read these pages and by its end you still do not believe, there is no need to fear retribution. We cannot blame you for your doubts — they were placed in your mind on purpose to defend us from prying eyes.

Doubt is the most powerful camouflage the Illuminati uses to remain anonymous. If you do not believe something is real, you will never go looking for it.

4. How you are Watched

The invention of email is no coincidence, nor is the new popularity of text messaging and social media. Their widespread use is the result of a complex operation authorized by the Illuminati to aid in the surveillance of the citizens we govern.

In a private society that lacks technology, communications between potentially dangerous subjects are difficult to monitor. If a pen writes on a piece of paper and the resulting letter is not physically intercepted, a full transmission of information is completed without any indication of its contents.

Plans between anarchists and genocidal murderers cannot be prevented if our associates are not alerted to their creation, leaving citizens open to harm from those who seek depopulation of the planet for their own gain.

In modern times, the leader of a large country strayed from our directives, succumbing to his addiction to power. By siphoning away the resources intended for his people, he was able to stockpile a vast network of wealth. This money was used to finance the construction of biological weapons and the development of a plan to overtake a highly populated country, whose

power had made it impenetrable for centuries.

To overtake such an established world power, he schemed a genocide. He planned to propel a rocket into the outer atmosphere of this planet and allow it to fall over the targeted country. Once entering airspace where it might be detected, the rocket would dismantle itself and release a net of large balloons that expanded to reach over a radius of miles. The balloons would contain a viral poison, and when shot down by the defensive agencies of the target, the chemicals would rain upon the people who lived below.

The disease was developed to lose its potency within weeks but had no cure and would spread quickly between hosts. With his naval ships hovering on the coasts to prevent anyone from escaping, every resident of the country would succumb to the effects of the disease and die. Within days, the entire population would be exterminated, leaving a land of bodies to decompose in the sun, and later only dust for his armies to trample upon.

But like all plans by misguided sociopaths, his held a fatally overlooked flaw. While devising his strategy, he communicated via an email system created specifically for messages of high security — forgetting that all electronic messages are actively monitored by our departments. While the conversations he had with his generals in private went unnoticed, his electronic communications could be intercepted due to the fact that they were typed into a computer.

While monitoring private messages may seem invasive, it is for the safety of all humans. Because of the systems we have established, this plan for destruction never reached fruition, and justice was served for his insubordination.

The department responsible for monitoring worldwide communications has no need for the private details of the daily lives of our citizens. Our systems remain in place only for your security. There is no risk of any personal data becoming public knowledge.

Humans lie to themselves with a belief in secrecy and security. Corporations devise large-scale methods of anonymity through the use of codes and passwords and aliases, believing that their information is safe from outside eyes — forgetting that the very computers they use were manufactured to broadcast directly to our agencies.

Every computer, phone, or communication tool is a device used to gather information about you. Billions of terabytes of data are transmitted, reviewed, and stored in secure locations that cannot be destroyed by any threat other than a complete obliteration of this planet.

To truly understand the magnitude of this operation, you must dispel what you have been told and taught throughout your entire life — misdirections we have placed for the security of this initiative. Our surveillance cannot be detected nor deactivated because it exists in the core of every electronic device.

The personal computer's purpose is to gather data on individuals and create profiles of their movements, loyalties, and the level of risk they are to the human species. To ensure the independence of every citizen, we cannot intercept all crimes — only such actions that could affect the human species as a whole.

Our department retains a dossier of every human on earth: every website they have visited, every document they have typed, every image they have scanned, every video they have recorded or broadcast.

The Illuminati supports various digital initiatives to ensure your safety from global threats. We have propagated safeguards throughout a minimum of 98% of all communication devices currently in operation. The success of our surveillance is the result of public relations campaigns working to

increase societal reliance upon technology.

For example, in 1999, our Illuminios conference encouraged societal influencers to increase the public's usage of text messaging, as these are easier to surveil than audio phone calls that must be transcribed. In 2004, our organization funded the development of an Internet membership website to aid in the collection of data on citizens of interest. Our influencers were encouraged to use the website and invite those who follow their lead to do the same. Our partners created a "tagging" system that recognizes facial features of a person in a photograph or video, no matter which angle they might appear, and launched a campaign to promote its usage.

In this way, our operatives are able to gather a vast amount of information previously unavailable from private citizens. Every photograph and video that is stored on the Internet is immediately tagged by our systems with the identities of every person in the image, regardless of if they are the subject or merely a person in the crowded background. This allows us to track the movements of every single person in a technologically advanced society, even if they themselves do not carry any traceable devices.

Much of our surveillance techniques involve creating systems that claim to be anonymous, therefore attracting those who have things to hide. Online anonymity networks have seen increased usage amongst those who require the utmost privacy. Its users openly reveal their deepest secrets behind onion layers of protection, not realizing that the network they rely upon is of our invention and specifically created to trace their illicit movements.

The technology in use by private citizens is already 20 years behind that of the United States military, and theirs is 50 years behind what has already been developed in our laboratories. With unlimited resources, the Illuminati can invest in the research and creation of any technology required by our work.

The focus of our future objectives has turned to increasing the popularity of cloud storage services and computing. By encouraging citizens to store

files in a remote location that is secure and easy to access, their private documents and information are volunteered for our surveillance.

Even the mightiest kings will fall because of secrets. We know of everything. We know of the message a politician sent that may seem to be long-gone history but would lead him to suicide if his spouse was to see it. We know of the worst mistakes and the worst sins ever committed by everyone in power.

When our ranking members stray from our directives and require judgment, their punishment is shame. It is for this reason you often read of celebrities and public figures who suddenly face scandals but remain silent amidst the backlash. As their careers crumble, they know there is nothing they can do — they knew our judgment was approaching weeks before it appeared.

The sanctity of our authority must be upheld amongst every human, even those who believe they are powerful enough to disobey. The Illuminati's purpose is the preservation of the human species and thus we avoid causing death to even our worst perpetrators.

Leaders of the world fear little but death and losing their power. Public shame is a warning shot: one that is rarely ignored. The punished who receive judgment with humility are often restored to their previous glory at the end of their sentence.

Every person is human and every human makes mistakes, but buried in those mistakes are scandals of abject ruin. You will deny that you have secrets when in reality you know exactly the secrets we are referring to.

There is no reason to fear any public dissemination of your secrets. It is highly unlikely that any human has even observed your dossier in our database, as they are sorted and filtered by an electronic algorithm used only to identify risks. Find security in knowing that while your secrets are safe, the secrets of all who strive to destroy your species are also in our hands, ready

to be used against them.

5. The need for Hardships

Fear not for the struggles you face in this moment: be they money, relationships, war, or famine. Hardships exist to harden the armor surrounding your soul.

These are impermanent and temporary concerns that plague each and every member of the human species regardless of wealth or power or prestige. No one is free from their clutches. But know that you are always safe in the Light.

Your life is filled with many choices that determine your future. Sometimes you may wonder why things must be so hard. Why must some struggle while others live in greatness? Is this truly fair?

The rich are no different from the poor and the haves are no different from the have-nots: all are bodies dressed in clothes paying for things with paper and stone. Who decrees that gold is of more value than sand? Who claims that holding a paper with a number printed on it is more valuable than a fruit that grows on a tree? When one is hungry, they cannot eat paper or gold.

Words are the true power of the elite. Words say that printed paper and polished rocks can be traded for food and water and shelter. Words say that numbers on a bank's computer screen determine a human's value is higher than another's.

If your life is faced with struggles, remember the power of the mind. Remember that your brain bears no physical difference from that of a millionaire, a billionaire, a queen, or a president. Remember that those of power were born with minds as empty of knowledge as every other child — their choices of what to fill their minds with led them to lives of Abundance.

Struggles are always temporary. Though it may seem as if you are walking through an endless tunnel, disoriented in the mist of uncertainty, dawn will always break through in the end.

An empire will fall so greater empires can be made from its ashes; a life will crumble so a greater future may be built with its pieces. There is a security in knowing that your life has purpose and that every moment is by design.

Find peace in the fact that the darkest moments in your life are merely required prerequisites for an illustrious future that approaches. Know that however dark your world may seem, the ever-present glow of the Light will guide you to safety.

The choices you make determine your life's road. Fear not for where you are today. Fear nothing at all. We are always watching out for you.

6. The Secret of Power

Power never rests upon those who deserve it. Power is given to those who reach to take it, and claimed by those who will stop at nothing to fulfill what they believe is their birthright.

The true source of all power is belief. Kings and queens breathe the same air and drink the same water as the poorest and lowliest of civilization. Gold and diamonds are the same as rocks found beneath every inch of the planet. Money and bank accounts are merely papers with numbers written on them or digits on a computer screen.

Anyone can manifest anything in their lives by using the powers of both intention and dedication. Both are required — one cannot thrive without the other. A person who is poor but believes they should be rich, and who knows that they are destined for wealth, and who strives for success every day without ceasing in the face of hardships, will receive the money they require.

This is not supernatural. It is the most naturally occurring effect of a human's subconscious. You are who you say you are.

The immense power of the mind has not yet been proven by science because we have taken steps to hinder its research. The ability to govern a population of trillions — in secret — is based upon a system of mental cues that guide intelligent creatures through mazes of our design, without their knowledge of the mazes' existence. While those in our organization are familiar with the power of the subconscious, few of those outside have explored its inner workings.

The subconscious mind is the human species' most powerful muscle and what sets it apart from all other creatures on this planet. Animals, plants, and organisms do not think subconsciously in the same way as humans. They are merely creatures of instinct, programmed to follow specific processes like an artificially intelligent computer.

But humans are born with a mind that is aware of its own existence. A human can begin as a child who cannot walk, speak, or feed itself, but as the child grows it can become a king or a beggar depending on what its mind decides.

Who claims that your kings are fit to dictate aspects of your lives? Who chose them to be your rulers? Who gives them the power to manage the boundaries of your freedom?

They do. They say that your obedience is their right. They say that soldiers must fight battles on their behalf while the royals reside in the safety of offices and bunkers. They say that police must defend their right to dominance, that citizens must obey their laws. And you agree to their authority, as do all the millions who surround you at your sides, simply because your leaders tell you to.

When recognized for the first time, such power will seem alarming and perhaps abused by those who remain in command. However there is nothing to fear and no need for insurrection. These arrangements only exist for your safety and prosperity.

If only you were to open your mind and discern the true power that resides within you, you would see how little difference there is between you and your leaders. Power can be attained by anyone regardless of their circumstances. It grows one step at a time on a path toward the Light — a slow and steady realization of who you are and who you are destined to be.

Some may ask: how can every human be a leader when the world requires followers to operate? How can a human who is poor or lacks education ever hope to stand alongside those who have been wealthy or royal since birth?

These questions are natural as again, they were placed in your mind by us. If power was easy to obtain, it would fall into the hands of those who should not wield it. Roadblocks are placed in the way of every human as a means to filter out the unready. Trials through poverty, loss, and hardships exist to test how you will react and if you can be broken enough by temporary discomfort to turn from the Light.

All who hold power have passed through the sieve of grave hardships and pressed forward until victorious. Though they may make it appear easy, this is simply due to the great pains they have taken to hide their previous mistakes from their constituents.

This system is of our design. Every human is born with the same ability and promise but only a handful dedicate their minds to the stalwart determination required to lead the rest of their species.

You are not barred from this power. Even a population that lives under the tyrannical rule of malevolent, murderous dictators can simply say they will not follow orders any longer. Police and soldiers, captains and generals: all are humans. Peasants are humans, and so are the kings who force them to remain downtrodden. They are all the same species. Belief is all that keeps a tyrant in control. Soldiers needn't fight for a regime that does not protect its own people.

And yet, many do. Countless butchers remain in authority over countless citizens simply because their soldiers are trained to disregard their conscience in favor of someone else's commands. There is no honor in following orders at the expense of one's own people.

And like a soldier blinded by patriotism into following the orders given by a corrupt leader, so too does your mind face orders of its own. Your mind is bombarded by messages telling you it is time to give up, to turn from the Light, to go back to where it is familiar and comfortable.

No one builds a wall between you and power or wealth. Such a wall would be ineffective. Too many people give up too quickly when their greatest achievements are merely steps ahead, simply because they cannot see how close they are.

Though you may be destined to become the world's most powerful leader, you are still on the path. Your commands are not obeyed because no one believes they should obey them. Your handful of sand cannot be traded for a home or food because no one believes it has the value of diamonds.

But if you were an inimitable liar, and for generations your ancestors told the same convincing lie that said you were destined for power, you too would be rich and royal.

Tell your mind this lie every morning and night. Eventually it will believe you, and become your truth.

7. The Future of this Planet

The age of War swiftly nears its end, as did the ages of Bronze, Iron, Medieval, and Modern. Soon the age of Illuminatiam will begin.

You are amongst the first of your species to see the Light and heed the sounds of Illuminatiam's approach. The next age is filled with ideas and advancements never before seen and hardly imagined by even the brightest minds of your civilization. In a future society in which war is obsolete, the human species will be freed to develop to its fullest potential.

Technological advancements have permeated the timeline of the human species at sporadic times. Recent years have shown a rapid increase in the proliferation of ideas: a sign that humanity is nearing a stage of evolution previously undiscovered.

For decades, the Illuminati has withheld major technological discoveries and hindered the development of ideas that are key to your future. These have no place in an age of War — when knowledge goes to the highest bidder and warriors use this knowledge to create weapons.

But all will change. Soon the technology we have reserved will be made

available.

Wires are an arcane method of transmitting energy and communication. They reside in the physical form, and like all things physical, they decompose and deteriorate. They require resources to establish and more resources to maintain, creating an imbalance of power. Those who build the wires — and the tunnels and towers that carry them — control the energy and communication of everyone who walks above and below. Even your leaders are powerless when faced with those who own the wires that carry their commands.

In a short time, your scientists will discover an energy source hidden in the air of your planet that has gone undetected for the entirety of your species. This discovery will send a tremor through societies that are built upon the need to survive. When energy and communication are easily available to all, and in unlimited supply, the world can function without the need for one country to invade another simply to fill the needs of its people.

New methods of food and water production have been experimented upon and proven successful. Free-flowing energy allows for devices to perfect the conditions of plants and creatures to their utmost performance, leaving nothing to waste and creating plenty for all without the need for harmful chemicals.

Devices to alter the weather of this planet have already been developed. When every space of your planet can be atmospherically altered to maintain the highest quality of life, there will be room for all people to live and thrive. Wastelands will become paradises, allowing for every human to occupy miles of the planet and for the nurturing of crops where nothing has grown before.

The earliest developments in digitally printed materials have already begun in your societies. As these technologies advance, homes will be constructed in minutes instead of months. New limbs or organs will be grown to repair or replace those that are faulty. Tiring work can be done by advanced machines that need no rest. Without the need for labor, humans will dedicate their minds to the collective advancement of their species.

These times approach but have not yet arrived. Humans are creatures who have not yet mastered their impulses. The instinct to harm another of its own kind is one that the human species is never born with but only learns from those around it.

The planet you live upon is the same rock that will carry life into the greatness promised by the future. Humans choose to remain in the age of War because they know no different than to fight and kill for their survival: an eternal competition for resources required to remain alive.

Value is created in scarcity. Diamonds are only cherished because of their rarity, as are food and water in impoverished societies. If diamonds rained from the sky instead of water drops, they would be worthless.

But in the age of Illuminatiam, with no scarcity of energy, or food, or water, or anything that a human requires to thrive, there will be no need for hoarding or stealing. Country lines, allegiances, and borders will become obsolete. The urge for war will be eradicated.

These new circumstances will usher in a world where all may be wealthy and coexist in the peace of Abundance, while your leaders turn their focus to the true advancement of your species as a whole.

Though this planet as a whole must still continue to develop, you can begin paving the way for the future in your daily life. Do not quarrel amongst yourselves over trivial political or religious labels, for these will vanish and bear no influence in the coming age. Strive instead for the betterment of your world in preparation for what is to come, and for your purpose in the

Universal Design.

Fear nothing that lies ahead, nor the bursting sounds that echo across your red horizons. This is the sign that help is on the way.

8. The God Conundrum

Plagues have ravaged towns and villages. Fire and molten rock have swept like waves over cities and buildings. Floodwaters have drowned families by the hundreds of thousands. But even these disasters in all their destructive power have failed to end as many lives as those taken in the name of a god.

Spirituality is one of the human species' greatest mysteries. Usually, a human relies on physical evidence to prove or change a belief that exists in their subconscious. A person will smell an item of food to prove if they will enjoy it or look at a fire to prove if it is burning. If a person believes that a pool of water is cold, they will touch it with a hand to prove their belief — or to change their belief if the water turns out to be warm.

However the belief in a power greater than human understanding relies entirely on invisible, mental verification referred to as faith.

Most religious belief is based upon information received from an outside

source that cannot be verified, sometimes known as hearsay. Millions will follow the commandments of a religious text without ever having spoken to its author, and billions will believe in a deity because of miracles they were told of by someone who wasn't even present nor alive at the time.

But denouncing faith is true folly. Faith is not limited to religious believers. While even the most devout pontiff cannot provide irrefutable evidence of his god's existence, neither can the scientist who claims that no deity resides in the universe. Both rely upon their own faith to explain things they will never understand.

There is no proof of God. There is no proof of no God, either. If science cannot definitively prove that there is no God, then science has no choice but to accept a possibility of a god's existence.

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 reaches 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. The core of every religion is founded on the human species' innate desire to understand the Light's invisible force. Even without a formal religious affiliation, every human is naturally drawn to the Light.

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 influence in their lives regardless of their individual religious beliefs.

Many humans stare at the path of life with blinders covering the sides of their eyes, facing forward, choosing to ignore any possibility that they are traveling toward the edge of a cliff. But the true believers question every aspect of their faith, forcing themselves to find answers instead of simply following the lead of others.

The Illuminati's religious foundation is based upon the universal conundrum of faith and doubt. We do not question whether a god does or does not exist, but rather focus on the betterment of the human people living on this planet.

For if a god does exist, then surely its power has allowed the Illuminati to continue our operations, and we have survived centuries of time through its approval. Our decisions are made by the study of data and evidence — factors that can be easily altered by an omniscient creature in order to guide our actions and the future of mankind.

If no god exists, our actions still benefit the human species as a biological whole. If a god does exist, then our work for the betterment of all creation will be pleasing to its creator.

For decades, a multitude of individuals have operated under the name of the Illuminati — some for good but many more for their own profit. Their deceit clouds public perception of our organization, causing many citizens to believe that wrongdoings are committed by our command.

Choose carefully where you place your belief. Be wary of anyone who claims to represent the Illuminati but whose actions go against our core

tenets. These are merely impostors seeking to confuse you.

For anyone to claim that the Illuminati is affiliated with a religious belief — be it God or Satan, Baphomet or Baal — undermines the very purpose of our independence from human divisions. We neither accept nor deny any deity and hold none to be higher than any other.

We operate solely for the benefit of the human species we have been entrusted to protect. There is no reason for our organization to swear fealty to any deity because we operate independently of all that separates and divides the people we govern.

Even more heinous rumors have been attributed to our organization, including human sacrifices and violent rituals. While our individual members are allowed to serve any deity they choose, the Illuminati as a whole is only dedicated to the preservation of the human species. Therefore, human sacrifices or any practice that does not serve the betterment of mankind would counter everything we represent, and are thus prohibited in all circumstances. While many have attributed such actions to our members, such connections are false.

There is no requirement to sell one's soul to join our organization — as if such a thing were even possible. Anyone offering to trade their soul to us is not ready for membership.

Miracles, attraction, and the belief in unseen powers that can alter the physical world have some basis in truth – things that the human mind cannot understand but attempts to explain to the best of its ability. Closer study reveals that the human mind contains energies that have not yet been discovered by traditional science, and have been decried in modern day society.

This skepticism is needed: if all people knew of the power living inside

themselves, havoc would befall a population that has not yet been prepared for such a responsibility.

Do not concern yourself with questions that cannot be proven. Must a god exist for you to do what is right? Would an all-intelligent, all-knowing, all- powerful god have any care for the name used in its worship? Would a god command the harm of another when its justice can be served without your aid?

When measuring the eternal vastness of the universe, there is a mathematic probability that a being exists that is more intelligent than us, who sees what we do and whose powers we can never understand. Simply do what is right and good for the benefit of your species, and whatever higher power exists will reward you for your stewardship. In all things, follow the Light.
