WHAT IS ILLUMINATI ?
The term "Illuminati" refers to the Bavarian Illuminati, a secret society that operated for only a decade, from 1776 to 1785. This organization was founded by Adam Weishaupt, a German law professor who believed strongly in Enlightenment ideals, and his lluminatenorden sought to promote those ideals among elites. Weishaupt wanted to educate Illuminati members in reason, philanthropy, and other secular values so that they could influence political decisions when they came to power.
"It was pretty ambitious for six or nine guys, but they really wanted to take over the world," says Chris Hodapp, the co-author of Conspiracy Theories and Secret Societies for Dummies with Alice VonKannon.
The Illuminati's goals — and reputation — often exceeded their means, Hodapp notes. In its early days, the group was just a handful of people. And even at its largest, it only consisted of somewhere between 650 and 2,500 members. The group grew to that size by becoming a sort of sleeper cell within other groups — Illuminati members joined Freemason lodges to recruit members for their own competing secret society.
Hah. I thought today what does it mean, and here it is. Thanks for explanation.
Thank you for reading this. It means alot to me and it motivates me to write more blog.thank you .
What a great topic! The Illuminati are one of the most written about secret societies of all time. Most people are a little sad to learn that the Illuminati never amounted to a very big organization. In reality, their reputation far exceeded their actual influence.
For fun, if you like games, Steve Jackson published a game all about the secret order that makes fun of exaggerated ideas many hold about the order. I found a copy here: https://www.amazon.com/Steve-Jackson-Games-1305SJG-Illuminati/dp/1556343841
Anyway, upvoted and followed. Great post!
