Illuminism Religiously

Illuminism Religiously

Thomas Allen

Illuminism is the material manifestation of Lucifer’s war against Christ Jesus and the God of the Christians. Being of Lucifer, Illuminism is extremely anti-Christian. Christ and the commandments of God are seen as preventing man from achieving his fullest potential. God hinders man’s progress and perfection; He is the great oppressor. Man can obtain salvation without Jesus. The only thing standing between man and utopia (Nirvana) is Christianity.

The essence of Illuminism is achieving salvation through knowledge. According to Still, “[I]lluminism is not just the knowledge gained from reading books, or receiving oral instruction, or even the secretive knowledge gained from initiation. Illuminism also involves a vivid flash of insight or understanding, regardless of what means are used to attain it.”[1] Still continues:

There are many ways to achieve illumination. The method most important to Illuminism is the mystical inspiration invoked by the performance of occult rituals. Illumination can be achieved by dancing to exhaustion to the rhythm of native drums. It can be brought on by sexual rituals, such as those practiced in Tantric Yoga. To the Satanists, it can be brought on by ritualistic sacrifice. Throughout history, mind-altering substances such as marijuana, hashish, peyote cactus, and LSD have been used to achieve paranormal mystical experience. In fact, the Greek word for sorcery is pharmakia from whence came the word pharmaceuticals.[2]

Illuminism’s theology is revealed today in Freemasonry, Liberal Protestantism, Catholic Modernism, Judaism, the Eastern religions, and the New Age sects. All these theologies are essentially Pantheism. Naturalism is the most common expression of Pantheism in the West.

Pantheism materializes God and makes God and the Universe one. God is merely the total of all that exists. The Universe is a great inclusive unity that devours God in that unity. Thus, the Universe becomes God, and nothing separate or distinct exists from this Universe God. The Universe becomes the sole reality. It deifies unregenerated man.

Pantheism rejects God’s personality. God is reduced to the forces and laws of nature. God is an energy, the life force or god-force, that flows through all living things — thus, man becomes God or, at least, part of God. It also rejects revelation. Religious truths come from nature, not from Divine revelation. A personal God does not exist in Pantheism. Furthermore, no person ever really dies. (Reincarnation is an integral part of the doctrines of many New Age sects.) Therefore, no one will ever face God’s personal judgment. Thus, Pantheism promises man that he is not accountable to a personal God.[3]

Because this god-force flowing through all mankind unifies man into one, Pantheism naturally leads to global unity under a one-world government and one-world religion. Such a unity will lead to a New World Order where all men will be enlightened with Illuminism. Then all mankind will have mystical powers to do what had previously been impossible.

Pantheism subordinates the individual to the collective. When an individual becomes merely a component of the masses, he ceases to be “an individual rational being, distinct and complete as to his nature and thereby in possession of inalienable rights. . . . [He loses] his dignity and integrity, lacks true individuality, and becomes an unfree, helpless mode of something else.”[4] He becomes disposable and has only what the illuministic priesthood condescends to grant him. To a Pantheist, humans are no more valuable than animals or plants.[5]

It subverts God-centered religion into man-centered religion (and ultimately into Lucifer-centered religion for Lucifer deceives man into believing that he, Lucifer, is the revealer of the secret knowledge of the Universe, which Pantheism identifies with God). Man as a collective, i.e., humanity as a whole, becomes God, and the Illuminists become the priesthood.

In the modern Western World, Pantheism manifests itself most commonly as secular humanism. Kirban defines humanism as “a system of thought or action that holds that man is capable of self-fulfillment, peace on earth, and right ethical conduct without recourse to God. Humanism therefore is the religion which defies man and dethrones God.”[6] Secular humanism has five basic doctrines: the irrelevance of Deity, the supremacy of “human reason,” the inevitability of progress, science as the guide to progress, and self-sufficiency of man.[7] Naturally, it rejects salvation through Christ Jesus, a final judgment by God, and the existence of heaven and hell. Secular humanists worship the creature, mankind (humankind for the politically correct), instead of the Creator.

Thus, man, being innately good, does not need salvation. Science will provide for the needs of man including molding man into a more uniform, and therefore, easier to manage, being. Government becomes the guardian angel that will guide man ever onward and upward — hence, totalitarianism. Through human reason, man can solve all his problems and progress and advance independently of any transcendent god; consequently, God is irrelevant, if not an obstacle. The principal Mystery cults, Pantheism, Gnosticism, and Hermetism mixed together form secular humanism.[8]

Secular humanism is built upon hatred. The old Soviet Union epitomized a secular humanist society. The government of the Soviet Union administered the world’s most humanistic state. Yet it murdered more than 66 million of its own citizens. Abortion, genetic engineering, cloning, and euthanasia have grown out of secular humanism.

Like Communism, secular humanism rejects the supernatural and divine revaluation. Both promote world government. Both want to control the schools and universities and to destroy Christianity. Public schools have become the churches of the secular humanists, which is why they hate anything Christian appearing in public schools.

The ultimate goal of secular humanism is to demoralize its adherers and fill them with existential despair. When confronted with life’s spiritual realities, the honest secular humanists lose their belief in the divinity of man. Pride often prevents them from turning to the true God, the God of the Christians, whom they have spent a lifetime denouncing or ignoring. So, most turn to mysticism, some non-rational philosophy, or simply go mad with despair.[9]

The other important branch of Pantheism today is occultism. While secular humanism takes materialism to the extreme, occultism often takes spiritualism to the extreme. Occultists are the spiritual followers of Lucifer. Most believe that Lucifer is the coequal of the God of the Christians and that he is superior to God’s Christ in that if he does not eventually defeat Christ, Christ will never defeat him. Occultists see the God of the Christians as the power of evil and Lucifer as the true God and the power of good — which is what the Jewish Cabala teaches.[10] By revealing secret knowledge to man, Lucifer becomes man’s savior. Nevertheless, most occultists reject a personal devil and the idea of hell: Eternal punishment cannot exist because no personal God who passes final judgment on individuals exists. Freeing man from a personal external God (the God of the Christians) Who demands obedience to His laws and Who will judge every person according to His Son Jesus, is the objective of all New Age religions. The goal of New Age religions, like the old Eastern religions of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism, “is not to know God, but to be God.”[11] Thus, occultists seek salvation independent of God’s rule and authority.

Occultists seek power through hidden knowledge, which will lead to salvation. They practice manipulating the forces of nature through spiritual means, i.e., they practice magic. Magic may be divided into two branches: divining and operative. Divining magic includes aeromancy (fortune telling with wind or clouds), anthropomancy (fortune telling with entrails of human beings), astrology (fortune telling with planets), cartomancy (fortune telling with cards), hydromancy (fortune telling with liquids), oneiromancy (fortune telling with dreams), palmistry (fortune telling with marks on the palm), and pyromancy (fortune telling with fire). Operative magic includes alchemy (transmutation of base metals into precious metals), mesmerism (hypnotism), necromancy (conjuring the spirits of the dead), and theurgy (compelling a god or supernatural being to do or not do something).

A hybrid of secular humanism and occultism is spiritual humanism.[12] Man is by nature divine. He is God, an enlightened god-man and absolute sovereign. Thus, he is perfect and all-powerful. All that is needed to deify him fully is proper illumination. Then man will become a higher race of cosmic gods and will be able to manipulate the Universe to suit his will.

A chief difference between secular humanism and spiritual humanism is that secular humanism rejects the spiritual while spiritual humanism acknowledges and accepts the spiritual.[13]

Illuministic religions typically share two common features — the two assertions that Lucifer used to deceive Eve. First, no one will really die and face a final judgment of God. If the body dies, the person’s spirit and soul will return to inhabit another body — reincarnation, or his spirit and soul will migrate to some higher level of spiritual existence. Second, man has the right, power, and ability to become like God if not become God.[14]

Pantheism gives religious sanction to the collective doctrines and programs of Illuminism. All forms of Pantheism are illuministic. Consequently, Illuminists preach Pantheism and use it to advance Illuminism.

To conceal their intent to subvert Christianity into Pantheism, Illuminists nearly always cloak their theology in Christian jargon. They call their theology “Christianity” to gain an audience for their fraud. Without such deception, destroying the authority of the Christian Scriptures would be far more difficult, if not impossible. Considering the success that the Illuminists have achieved in destroying fundamental Christianity since Weishaupt introduced this tactic in the late eighteenth century, it has worked markedly well.

Man’s religions can be divided into two groups. One believes that man is innately bad, i.e., a self-centered, self-serving sinner; this is the religion of true Christianity. The other believes that man is innately good; this is the essence of Illuminism and most other religions. True Christians believe that man can never perfect himself, is incapable of pleasing God by his own works, and, therefore, needs a savior; Jesus, the Son of God, is this savior. Man cannot earn salvation; salvation is from God. Illuminism and the other religions believe that with knowledge, science, and education, man can perfect himself and save himself, if he is even in need of salvation. With his own works, man can save himself without the intervention of a savior. Man can become like God, if not God, by following the proper rituals and ceremonies or the teachings and examples of a holy teacher like Confucius, Buddha, or Mohammad.

From these two basic religious views come all men’s political, social, and economic principles. Thus, Christianity is incompatible with Illuminism in all its forms, including Communism, fascism, socialism, Zionism, globalism, multiracialism, multiculturalism, Freemasonry, Judaism, Islam, and New Age religions, which is why the Illuminists must destroy Christianity.

Gaining Control

Gaining Control
Thomas Allen

[Editor’s note: Footnotes in original are omitted.]

The replacement of Christian doctrines with Lucifer’s illuministic doctrine greatly intensified after World War II. Illuminists place great emphasis on infiltrating and gaining control of the Protestant denominations and the Catholic Church. Among those working within the Catholic Church to sabotage its traditional beliefs and replace them with Illuminism was Father Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Father Baum (a Jew who “converted” to Catholicism), and many other Catholic priest who believed and preferred the teachings of Marx and Freud to those Jesus and the Bible. Taking the lead in promoting Liberation Theology and Marxism have been the Jesuits.

Another important illuministic leader in the religious realm has been Carl Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist and founder of analytical psychology. Liberal Protestant churches have adopted many of his teachings as they seek to replace the Christ-centered teachings of the Bible with humanistic ego-centered psychology and philosophy. His doctrines are also highly influential among New Age religions. The teachings of Jung, Teilhard de Chardin, and other occult scholars give the New Age religions an air of being scientific, and, thus, they draw the highly educated into the occult.

Two Americans who were important in destroying Christianity in the United States were Water Rauschenbusch and Harry F. Ward. They were socialists and Marxists. They sought to use religion to establish socialism. They preached a “social gospel” and promised a “kingdom of God on Earth” through socialism. Rauschenbusch provided the theology of the collective social gospel, and Ward organized the movement for the social gospel to replace true Christianity.

Freemasons are encouraged to be active in Christian churches so that they can gain control of them. Then they can turn the churches from the teachings of Jesus to the teachings of Lucifer as express through Freemasonry. Thus, they can corrupt them with “modernism” and “liberalism.” Consequently, most churches and denomination have abandon opposition to miscegenation, homosexualism, divorce, abortion, and euthanasia. Illuminists have infiltrated and gained control of most mainline churches and divinity schools and seminaries. As a result, most mainline churches have abandoned teaching the Bible. They have substituted a form of secular humanism, materialism, and other non-biblical theology. They replace the spiritual truths established by facts and revealed in the Bible with spiritual “truths” based on personal experiences and feelings. They have strip Christ of his divine nature and present him, his apostles, and the early church as Communists or socialists. They have replaced the spiritual with the material. Salvation does not come from the grace of God; it comes from Illuminism. They are leaving their members spiritually starved. Many of the spiritually starved end up seeking spiritual satisfaction in some New Age religious movement.

The Christian churches that are not under the control of Illuminists are the main threat to the Illuminists in achieving their New World Order. These Bible-believing Christians must be neutralized. Many of these Christians are being seduced into sacrificing some of their beliefs in the name of world peace and unity. As a result, false doctrines and occult practices have entered their churches. The seduction includes false prophets and false miracles.

Illuminism has advanced its war against Christianity by capturing the United States Supreme Court. During the presidency of Franklin Roosevelt, Freemasonry gained a majority of the Supreme Court justices. This majority, it maintained into the Nixon presidency. Thus, between 1941 and 1971, Freemasonry controlled the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court adopted the Masonic view of the law: “Law is largely in the interpretation and not in the text. . . .”[1] It followed Franklin Roosevelt instruction for an “enlightened” interpretation of the Constitution. Consequently, “the Constitution means what the Supreme Court says it means,” as Chief Justice Evan Hughes remarked.

Freemasonry used its control of the Supreme Court to remove all vestiges of Christianity from public schools and to convert public schools into temples of Freemasonry religions — secular humanism, occultism, Theosophy, Cabalism, Gnosticism (Freemasonry’s favorite religion), and all other forms of Pantheism promoted by Freemasonry — any religion but Christianity, which Freemasonry hates with as much passion as Lucifer hates Jesus.

It also forced integration of schools and most public and private associations. The primary objective of integration is to destroy the Aryan race by facilitating miscegenation.

Lucifer is using the New Age religious movement to bring about his New World Order. Although most occult initiates are probably ignorant of Lucifer’s control of their religion and his worship by their leaders, many New Age leaders are knowingly collaborating with Lucifer to bring about his New World Order. Probably most of New Agers are unaware that they are involved in the occult. They unknowingly come involved with the occult through their obsession with world peace, holistic health, the environment, yoga, or occult forms of mediation.

In the twentieth century, liberalism was the political program that the Illuminists used to control and destroy the free market, free enterprise economies of the world. The Illuminists have always considered the free market, free enterprise economy as its enemy. They have worked to replace the free market, free enterprise economies with some form of socialism. Their New World Order can only be achieved through a controlled economy.

When Franklin Roosevelt, who was a high degree Illuminist and a 32nd degree Freemason, became President, he believed that the goals of the Illuminists would be achieved during his lifetime. So confident was he in the success of the grand conspiracy that he ordered the insignia of the Masonic Illuminati to be printed on the back of the new American dollar bill. This action informed Illuminists that the Illuminists had absolute control of American finance and politics— control that has been retained to this day.

The Jesuits, the illuminist arm in the Catholic Church, bragged that the world would receive a sign when the ecumenical movement had overcome its worldwide opposition. When Ronald Reagan was sworn in as President of the United States, he gave the sign. The sign was that the President of the United States would face the Washington Monument, a symbolic occult obelisk, while being sworn into office.[2] Reagan was the first President to be sown in while facing the Washington Monument.

Further proof that the Illuminists have nearly completed establishing Lucifer’s New World Order is found in a map adopted in 1952 by the World Association of Parliamentarians for World Government showing the armed forces of one country policing other countries when world government is achieved. This map shows U.S. troops in Yugoslavia, Greece, and Albania, which Clinton achieved in the 1990s; in Australia, where they are, and in Kazak Soviet Socialist Republic (now Kazakhstan), which Clinton achieved in 1997. It showed Russian troops from Oklahoma southward and eastward; in 1995 Russian soldiers were at Fort Riley, Kansas. In 1997, troops from former Soviet block countries were at Fort Polk, Louisiana. Furthermore, Russian police were active in the South during the 1990s—even assisting in arresting Americans. German troops were also stationed in the United States. After the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, larger numbers of U.S. troops have been moved to the Middle East, and troops from Europe have been stationed in the United States.

Illuminists have achieved great success in the United States and have gained almost complete control of the United States government. Proof of such control is the great difficulty in naming a single act of foreign policy in the last 50 years that truly benefitted the American people as a whole.

Illuminists who control the United States government use the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF), Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and other agencies to terrorize the American people. These federal agencies are being used to terrorize Americans into capitulating to the New World Order. The FBI concentrates on fighting Americans who oppose the New World Order rather than fighting Communism, domestic terrorism, and real criminals. Like the IRS and other federal agencies, the FBI has become a terrorist agency. The primary purpose of the IRS is not to collect taxes. Its primary purpose is to terrorize and impoverish the American people by forcibly extorting money from them. Part of the CIA’s job was to make the Soviet Union appear much more powerful than it really was. If anyone claimed that the CIA’s estimates were high, the CIA would bully him into silence. The United States needed a powerful enemy to help the United States government’s control of the American people, which may explain the build up of China after the fall of the Soviet Union.

Illuminists have opened the borders of the United States to Third World immigrants. Some of these millions of immigrants pouring into the United States are trained terrorists, who operate under the orders of the Illuminists. Many are hardened criminals. These immigrants are intended to neutralize opposition to Illuminism. Criminals subdue the population as the people divert their resources to defend themselves from professional criminals. Thus, they are distracted from defending themselves from the biggest criminals of all—Lucifer’s Illuminists. Furthermore, the mass of immigrants who are neither terrorists nor criminals dilute the country with people who have no ties with America’s history or traditions of personal freedom and limited government.

As Illuminism has risen so has persecution of Christians and the degradation of Christianity. Blasphemy passes for art. Hollywood produces ever more movies that belittle and attack Christians and Christianity. Soldiers sent to the Middle East to defend the interest of the United States, i.e., the interest of the Illuminists, are denied Bibles. The police attack Christian protesters, especially pro-life advocates, much more brutally than other classes of protesters. Zoning laws are used to harass Christians and their churches. Christians are habitually denied their inalienable rights. Anti-Christian bigotry is pervasive in the illuministic mainstream media. The Illuminists have achieved their goal of converting the United States from a Christian country to a secular one.

Only about 500 high-degree Illuminists, some of whom direct the large tax-free foundations, are in the United States. Below them are about 10,000 lesser Illuminists, who are primarily politicians, businessmen, media leaders, academicians, and religious leaders.

One reason little fundamental change occurs when the administration in Washington changes from a liberal Democrat to a “conservative” Republican is that Illuminists control both parties. A Democratic president surrounds himself with the Democratic members of the Council on Foreign Relations. A Republican president surrounds himself with Republican members. Furthermore, the conservative think tanks, such as the Hoover Institution, Heritage Foundation, and American Enterprise Institute, are financed by the same people who finance the liberal think tanks. The Rockefeller, Ford, and Brookings foundations finance both the conservative and liberal think tanks.

To achieve and direct the wars and revolutions, Illuminists have to place their agents, stooges, sympathizers, fellow-travelers, and dupes in key positions in government, news media, business, religion, and academia.

When the Illuminists believe that their power base has become strong enough to begin the extermination in the United States of any possible resistance to their Nimrodic dream of world domination, Plan Naamah will be implemented.[3] America will then suffer a reign of terror that the French, Russian, and Spanish suffered during their revolutions. Tens of millions of Americans will die.

The twentieth century was the century of world wars, revolutions, and Communism and fascism. Today Illuminists work to establish globalism. (Anyone who proudly labels himself as a globalist is either an Illuminist or an agent, stooge, sympathizer, fellow-traveler, or dupe of the Illuminists.) Communist China and North Korea are the models of their New World Order.

With the collapse of Soviet Communism, the Cold War ended. As a result countries are being merged into regional groupings, such as the European Union and the North American free trade area, which is being expanded to cover the entire Western Hemisphere. Eventually these regions will be synthesized into a one world state ruled by the Illuminists.

To achieve their Luciferian goals, Illuminists have organized, financed, directed, and controlled Communism, National Socialism (Nazism), Zionism, and other similar movements. Through these movements, Illuminists have fomented wars, world wars, and revolutions while the Illuminists retreat to safety zones. Wars and financial, environmental, and other global catastrophes that Illuminists can cause or exasperate are to continue until mankind becomes physically, psychologically, and economically exhausted and beg, or at least accept, the New World Order with its Satanic one world government and its Luciferian New Age religion as their only hope. The Illuminists will then come forward and offer, or usurp, themselves as the enlightened despotic rulers.

By the end of the twentieth century, the Illuminists had largely achieved their goals of destroying Christianity, overturning governments hostile to their goals, and establishing a one world government with Illuminists as dictators. They had pounded the Aryan race so hard that Aryans were failing to reproduce themselves and were on their way to extinction.

New Age Religions

New Age Religions
Thomas Allen

[Editor’s note: Footnotes in the original are omitted.]

Another important movement underlying the advancement of Illuminism has been the New Age religious movement that became so apparent during the last part of the twentieth century.

New Age religions are pantheistic and occult. Most of the New Age religions are built upon Hinduism, Buddhism, especially Tibetan Buddhism, and Theosophy. They include witchcraft (manipulating the forces of nature) and Satanism (the direct worship of Lucifer). New Age religions range from humanistic worship of “God within” to the pagan worship of Gaia (mother Earth, the Greek goddess of Earth). They allow the individual to pick his own religious truths and his own set of morals and ethics—thus, they discard absolute moral standards and eternal principles and adopt relativism. Instead of worshiping the Creator, the God of the Christians, New Age practitioners worship the creation. The New Age religions base their spiritual truths on personal experience and not on the established facts and truths of the Bible. (These New Age truths are revealed by one’s inter being, or his “psyche.”) The goal of the New Age religious movement is to replace Christianity and limited government with occult socialism, Luciferianism.

Common practices of various New Age sects are trances (altered states of consciousness), astral projections or space travel (out-of-body travel), past life regression (visiting past lives through hypnosis), divination (seeing future events), and spirit guides (direct interaction with spirit beings). Connected with spirit guides, who are, contrary to the belief of most New Age practitioners, demons, is automatic writing. (Messages received through automatic writing are always opposed to orthodox Christianity.) Common features of most occult religions are evolution, reincarnation, astrology, and meditation. New Age religion often involves the use of mind-altering drugs to achieve an altered state. Thus, the drug culture and occultism are companions.

Some popular new age religions are Hare Krishna, Zen Buddhism, Sufism as expressed by the Meher Baba, Transcendental Meditation, and the Divine Light Mission. Hare Krishna and the Divine Light Mission came out to Hinduism. Hare Krishna comes closer to Christianity than any other Hindu sect. Zen Buddhism came out of Buddhism. (In the United States, drugs like LSD have become an important component of Zen Buddhism.)

The Satanic practices listed in Deuteronomy 18:10-11 are popular among various New Age sects. They are making children pass through fire (offering children as human sacrifices to a god, today appearing as abortion), divination (fortune telling, soothsaying), enchantment (interpreting omens), witchcraft (practicing astrology and the like), sorcery (using occult formulas and incantations), charming (casting spells), spiritualism (consulting with spirits), wizardry (acquiring superhuman knowledge from demons), and necromancy (calling up the dead).

Included among the New Age ideas are sex, pornography, the homosexual and feminist movements, environmentalism, abortion and euthanasia, psycho-therapies, worship of Mother Earth, and, especially, embracing any god but the God of the Christians. New Age religions teach that the rights of individuals must give way to the rights of humanity (naturally, the Illuminists will define what the rights of humanity are). Like National Socialists and Hindus, New Agers often place the lives of animals above the lives of people. New Age religions are replacing secular humanism in the temples of the public schools as people become aware of the demoralizing effects of secular humanism. (To destroy Christianity, the Illuminists promote secular humanism because it leads to vast numbers of spiritually starved people, many of whom in their hunger will turn to the occult and other New Age religions where they will worship Lucifer, the God of Illuminism.)

Corporations, hospitals, universities, public schools, and even federal agencies are promoting New Age practices, if not New Age religions themselves. Diversity training, value clarification, Zen, and Transcendental Meditation are among the most popularly promoted practices.

As New Age religions can absorb all religions except Christianity, Christianity must be destroyed. To destroy Christianity, the Illuminists have worked unceasingly to erode Christian values and to create apathy in the Church. They have labored to starve spiritually the masses by secularizing society. To feed the spiritual starved, the Illuminists offer Lucifer’s New Age religions.

Among Congressmen who were the leading promoters of the New Age revolution when they were in Congress were New Gingrich (Republican, member of CFR, 33rd degree Freemason), Mark Hatfield (Republican, Freemason, and supporter of global depopulation), Arlen Specter (Republican, Freemason, and ardent supporter of one world government), and Charlie Rose (Democrat).[1]

Included among the financial supports of the New Age movements are Blue Cross-Blue Shield, Lockheed Aircraft, and Rockefeller Foundation.[2]

Sun Moon and the Unification Church
The most dangerous New Age religions are those that give the appearance of being Christian but are really counterfeits. Sun Moon’s Unification Church typifies this type of church. Sun Moon’s Unification Church is perhaps the largest new age cult religious organization. Financing this church is the Korean CIA with money from the United States CIA. Moon is an ardent anti-Communist. Not only is Moon a leader in corrupting the Christian religion with false Christian doctrine, he is also a leader in destroying the Aryan people through miscegenation. Besides promoting miscegenation, Moon rejects the divine nature of Jesus—reducing him to being merely a man who perfectly understood God’s will—and Jesus’ return to Earth—Moon, who claims to be sinless, is the Lord of the Second Coming. Jesus failed in his mission because he did not marry and procreate holy offspring. Moon claims that Jesus accomplished only partial salvation; another (presumably, Moon) is needed to complete the work of Jesus and bring complete salvation. He makes himself, not Jesus, as the object of faith. He has been accused of teaching salvation through sexual intercourse with someone whom God has blessed. While traditional Christian ordinances of baptism and communion are avoided, seances, clairvoyance, and other occult practices are accepted. Moon also claims to receive revelations from God. To his brand of “Christianity,” he has incorporated Taoism, mysticism, and spiritualism. Like all Illuminists, Moon wants to establish a global government and a one world religion; both of which will be merged into one. Moon controls the Washington Times, which backs neo-conservatives.

Scientology
In 1950, Lafayette Ronald Hubbard, a science-fiction writer, unveiled his dianetics, the essence of Scientology. Scientology has become one of the most powerful and influential religious movements. Controlling the minds of others without their consent is the objective of many of the procedures of Scientology. It uses a combination of Catholic confession and psychotherapy. Its tenets include psychoanalysis and probing one’s prenatal influences, which are the cause of one’s present problems. Scientology teaches that man, who descended from gods, is basically good. However, he has a reactive mind of compulsions and inhibitions that can be, and need to be, contacted and erased. Good and evil are a matter of opinion: Morality is relative, not absolute. To Scientology, God is irrelevant; only Scientology is relevant. God is ignored. Man is deified and can perfect himself through perfect reasoning. With his perfect reasoning, man can solve all human problems. Reincarnation is also part of the Scientology doctrine. Teaching that enlightenment is attained through a series of stages, Scientology is, in essence, a form of Gnosticism. It contains eight grades of clearness; the eighth grade is reached when all a person’s engram from prenatal influences and previous existence have been cleared. Its eight dynamics are “(1) to survive as an individual; (2) to survive through sex and family; (3) to survive as a group (school, society, town, and nation); (4) to survive as mankind; (5) to preserve animal and plant life; (6) to preserve the physical universe, including matter, energy, space and time; (7) to preserve spiritual existence; and (8) to preserve immortal existence.”[3] Scientology is a mixture of “‘Hindu Veda and Dharma, Taoism, Old Testament wisdom, Buddhist principles of brotherly love and compassion, the early Greeks, Lucretius, Spinosa, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Spencer and Freud.’”[4] The works of Alfred Korzybski (author of General Semantics), Grinker (American psychiatrists), Speigel (American psychiatrists), William Sargant (English psychiatrists), Aleister Crowley (the twentieth century’s greatest practitioner of black magic) are also incorporated. Scientology is essentially a mixture of science fiction and magic. Although Hubbard disdained Christianity and called Christ a “hypnotic implant,” he, nevertheless, dressed Scientology in Christian garb and claimed it to be a nondenominational church. It offers no one a way to salvation.

Blavatsky and Theosophy
An important ancestor of the New Age religions is Theosophy. Theosophy is closely related to Freemasonry theologically.

Theosophy combines Eastern philosophical religious teachings with Western. Beginning with the essence of God, it arrives at the spiritual nature of the Universe. It claims knowledge of God’s person through direct knowledge, physical processes, and philosophical speculation. It uses speculative mysticism to explain how sin in this world can coexist with an omnipotent, holy God. Theosophists believe that God is impersonal and that man can perfect himself. “Man is god in the making.” Man faces no final judgment. “Hell” is a state of purgatory where souls of the dead stay until they are reincarnated. Thus, reincarnation is one of its tenets. Jesus becomes merely a pious religious leader who was martyred. Theosophy holds that God has revealed himself to the world long before Jesus arrived. The ancient myths and legends of the Egyptians, Greeks, Indians, and other people are variations of the same revelation. Likewise, the Christian Scriptures are merely a variation of this revelation. Theosophy is a form of Pantheism. Types of theosophists include Neoplatonists, Gnostics, and Cabalists.

Helena Petrovna Blavatsky is the mother of modern-day Theosophy and the modern-day New Age movement. Her Theosophy borrowed heavily from the Jewish Cabala, especially the anti-Christian aspects of the Cabala, for she fervently hated Christianity. She viewed Lucifer (Satan) “as the real creator and benefactor, the Father of Spiritual mankind.” Lucifer, not Jesus, is man’s savior. Satan, a heavenly spirit who deceives mankind, as orthodox Christianity conceives him, does not exist in Theosophy; instead Satan is glorified for his pride, independence, and rebelliousness. Secretly directing evolution of mankind is an elite group called “Great Masters,” “Adepts,” and “Great White Brotherhood.” Blavatsky typically referred to this group as “Ascended Masters of Wisdom.” They are highly evolved souls who, after many reincarnations, have left the earthly sphere for the spiritual realm. Building upon a base of Hinduism and Buddhism, Theosophy synthesized philosophy, religion, and science.

Blavatsky claimed that she had spent many years traveling through Tibet where she had been initiated into the Mysteries of the occult and through India. When some of her followers in India were arrested for homosexual acts, she left for the United States. Rene Guenon claims that she came to the United States from Paris and that she was probably never in Tibet. Her teachers were Paulos Metamon (a magician and conjuror), Mazzini (who initiated her into the Carbonari in 1856), and Victor Michel (a Freemason, mesmerist, and spiritualist). Serapis Bey and Tuiti Bey, who were Cabalists and members of the Egyptian Brothers, were probably her masters in Paris. She and Albert Pike were socially close. Blavatsky knowingly and willingly rejected God of the Christians, the father of Christ Jesus, and accepted Lucifer as her god.

Regardless who sent her, she arrived in the United States in 1872 and founded her Theosophical Society in 1875 with the aid of William Q. Judge and Henry S. Olcott. Olcott became the first president. Other members included Dr. Seth Pancoast, Thomas Edison, and, briefly, Albert Pike. Pancoast and George Felt were vice-presidents. Felt was a professor of mathematics and Egyptology and a member of the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor, which later expelled him.

Annie Besant, who had become a disciple of Blavatsky in 1889, gained control of the Theosophical Society following Blavatsky’s death in 1891, and in 1907 she became president. Besant was a member of the National Secular Society and a preacher of free thought. She advocated socialism and was a founder of the Fabian Society. She founded the English branch of the Theosophical Society and later the Indian branch. She was also vice-president and great teacher of the Supreme Council of the International Order of Co-Masonry.

Blavatsky was primarily interested in the occult sciences. She cared little about politics and schemes of material welfare. She claimed that socialism and Communism were both “disguised conspiracies of brutal force and selfishness against honest labor.”[5] Besant, however, was more political minded and organized the Society on a political basis to advocate socialism and world government.

Blavatsky thought that the teachings of Gautama Buddha were a perfection of Hinduism and wanted to rehabilitate Buddhism. Besant thought that the doctrines of the Brahmans were the purer faith. Yet Besant did not introduce Brahmanism or Buddhism into her lodges in Europe; she introduced her own occult system.

The objectives of the Theosophical Society are “The World Religion, The World University, and the World Government (by the Restoration of the Mysteries, i.e., by the recognition of their place as the World Government as they were recognized in ancient days, the place they have ever continued to occupy. . .).”[6] Theologically, the Theosophical Society is Gnostic and anti-Christian. Out of the teachings and philosophy of the Theosophical Society came the New Age movement of the twentieth century.

Arcane School and World Union
Freemasonry is behind the New Age movement in general and the Theosophical Society, which is basically a front for Freemasonry’s religious doctrines, in particular. Related to the Theosophical Society are the Lucis Trust, the Arcane Schools, the Triangles, and World Goodwill (which merged with the World Union in 1961). The Lucis Trust promotes the belief in the Hierarchy, also known as Ascended Masters, Masters of Wisdom, and the Elder Brothers. These Hierarchs are extremely wise men, who through successive reincarnations have become gods. Lucis Trust also promotes the United Nations, one world government with a socialist world economy. (It runs the only religious chapel at the United Nations’ headquarters—thus, affirming the Satanic nature of the United Nations.) Lucis Trust and its allied organizations serve as an intermediary between Freemasonry and allied secret societies and the public. Its goal is to condition the masses to accept the spiritual principles of Illuminism and its New World Order.

The Arcane Schools train people for high-level work in the New Age movement. The Triangles are meditation groups of three people. World Goodwill distributed literature promoting theosophy. After its merger with World Union, it distributed literature promoting world government.

Alice Ann Bailey, a Theosophist, established the Lucis Trust, World Goodwill, Triangles, Arcane School, and New Group of World Servers. Bailey was anti-Jewish and anti-Christian. Her many books were written through her by her spirit guide. In building the infrastructure and articulating the strategy of the modern New Age movement, she is probably the most important person.

World Union is leading the way toward world government through the World Constitution Parliament Association (WCPA). Philip Isely was the principal organizer of the World Constitution Parliament Association, which was founded in 1959. The objective of this association is to create a framework for establishing a one-world government. To promote global governance, it uses environmentalism, i.e., creating fear and hysteria that mankind is irrecoverably destroying the environment and the only way to prevent this ravishing of the environment is to establish an all-powerful centralized world government. Claiming to represent the people of Earth (have you ever voted for any member of this association to represent you?), it has drafted a constitution for its world government and is lobbying countries to ratify it.

By urging the United Nations to establish itself quickly as a world government with absolute power over the countries and peoples of the world, the World Constitution Parliament Association serves to apply pressure from below in “the name of the people.” Thus, it gives the Illuminists an excuse for establishing a global dictatorship—the people are forcing them to do it.

Psychotherapy
For the less spiritually inclined, the Illuminists offer psychotherapy as a substitute for religion. Like many other New Age religions, it treats man as though he is an autonomous being, who is the center of the Universe and the measure of all things. Psychotherapy, which includes psychology and psychiatry, is closely related to Hinduism. It offers fulfillment without God and explains human behavior without moral absolutes. If a person feels guilt about homosexual practices, the psychotherapist strives to convince the patient that homosexuality is normal, and thus, he should experience no guilt. So, if a person feels a desire, that desire must be satisfied without regards to any moral principle—or else insanity will result.

Psychotherapy has become an important weapon in advancing Illuminism. It teaches moral relativism, and anyone who believes in moral absolutes is obviously mentally ill if not insane. Thus, psychotherapy justifies the socialist concept of redistribution of material wealth. Furthermore, the National Association for Mental Health claims that the “principles of mental heath cannot be successfully furthered in any society unless there is progressive acceptance of the concept of world citizenship.”[7] The typical psychotherapist believes that anyone who opposes Illuminism or any of its programs needs therapy and is well on his way to becoming mentally ill if he is not already mentally ill. (Dr. G. Brock Chisholm and his associates define mental illness as a “sense of loyalty to a particular nation, a sense of loyalty to a moral code, strict adherence to concepts of right and wrong, opposition to foreign aid or communism.”[8] Psychotherapy is used to silence people who oppose Illuminism by proclaiming them mentally ill—often without any examination. (Fortunately, not all psychologists and psychiatrists are followers of Chisholm’s doctrines.)

Ecumenism

Ecumenism

Thomas Allen

[Editor’s note: The footnotes in the original are omitted.]

The Illuminists have used ecumenical movement as one of its tools to take over the Church. (The true Church of Christ is the greatest spiritual and temporal enemy and threat of the Illuminists.) The ecumenical movement seeks to unify all Protestant churches and ultimately all Christians. To accomplish this goal, it encourages an undenominational church. It disregards all forms of Church polity and does not care about the Church being an August body of saints. It emphasizes common religious teachings and beliefs.

The ecumenical movement was formalized in England in 1846 in the Evangelical Alliance and in the United States in 1867. Later in 1908, the Federal Council of Church of Christ, which later became the National Council of Churches of Christ, was organized as the leading proponent of the ecumenical movement in the United States. The World Council of Churches, which consists of more than 200 Protestant, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Old Catholic bodies, has become the principal instrument of ecumenicity.

Thus, Christian religion was attacked overtly and covertly. The covert attack against religion primarily took the form of ecumenicalism. All religious differences were ignored. Everything, except orthodoxy, was tolerated. Defenders of orthodoxy were ridiculed. Defenders of Biblical Christianity were slandered. Biblical revelation was meaningless; religious truths were derived from nature, not from revelation. The Bible was reduced to meaninglessness by subverting it to mean whatever one wanted it to mean. Religious unity must be achieved at all cost.

The covert attack took the form of stressing scepticism, materialism, naturalism, Pantheism, and homosexualism. Pornography was also another important overt weapon against Christianity. Anything that would lead to a moral breakdown was used.

World Council of Churches and National Council of Churches
One important actor in supplanting the religion of Jesus with the religion of Lucifer is the World Council of Churches. The World Council of Churches was founded in 1948; its founding began the modern ecumenical era. Most mainline Protestant denominations in the United States are members of the World Council of Churches. Heavily influenced by Freemasonry, it is interconnected with the World Constitutional Parliament Association and is a co-conspirator in bring about Lucifer’s New World Order. Its funding comes in part from the Rockefeller Foundation. Its goal is to unite Christianity to make bringing it into the New World Order easier. Christians should embrace Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and all other religions as equal in value to Christianity—interfaithism. With Vatican II, the Catholic Church joined the ecumenical movement and interfaithism. Ecumenism seeks to unify the Christian churches. Interfaithism seeks to unify all the religions of the world. As Communists and communist agents and sympathizers run the World Council of Churches, it is also a strong supporter of Communism. It has financed terrorists in Africa, who have slaughtered not only Blacks, but also Christian missionaries.

Closely allied with the World Council of Churches is the National Council of Churches. The purpose of the National Council of Churches is to promote Illuminism, especially Communism, among the churches in the United States. It also lobbies political leaders on behalf of communist causes. To advance Illuminism, one of its goals is to destroy the family. To achieve this goal, it has promoted feminism to destroy fatherhood and sex education to destroy the moral authority of the family. Members of the National Council of Churches have also promoted Black Nationalism and the Negro Revolution in the United States and have financially supported these movements. Like the World Council of Churches, the National Council of Churches strives to stripe the Bible of its authority—man should decide right and wrong based on the situation, i.e., moral absolutes do not exist.

In 1950, the Federal Council of Churches reorganized and merged with seven other interdenominational organizations to form the National Council of Churches. Of the 358 clergy who were voting delegates to the constituting convention of the National Council of Churches, 123 were associated with Communist projects and enterprises.[1]

Other Illuministic Organizations

Other Illuministic Organizations
Thomas Allen

[Editor’s note: Footnotes in original are omitted.]

In addition to the Council on Foreign Relations, the Bilderberg Group, and the Trilateral Commission, the Illuminists have established many other organizations to carry out their plans for a New World Order.

Anti-Defamation League
B’nai B’rith founded the Anti-Defamation League in 1913. Its purpose is to smear people who oppose Illuminism as anti-Semitic. The Anti-Defamation League accuses anyone who connects the Rothschilds or their Jewish allies with Illuminism or any of its branches as attacking all Jews. Likewise, it accuses anyone who opposes Zionism of being anti-Semitic. As a front for British intelligence and the Israeli Mossad, it collects enormous amounts of information on Americans —especially enemies, and potential enemies, of Illuminism and its New World Order.

American Civil Liberties Union
Illuminists established the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to destroy Christianity and to promote other goals of the illuministic New World Order in the courts. In 1920, Roger Baldwin, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn (Communist Party official), William Z. (head of the United States Communist Party), Felix Frankfurter, Amos Pinchot, (Skull and Bones member, active supporter of the Bolsheviks), Upton Sinclair, Dr. Harry F. Ward (Communist, Union Theological Seminary), Norman Thomas (a socialist), and others founded the American Civil Liberties Union.[1] It was formed from the merger of several organizations developed during World War I whose members included Communists, German agents, pacifists, radicals, socialists, and assorted other left-wingers.

Its primary purpose was, and continues to be, to promote Illuminism by protecting Communists, anarchists, and other political radicals and libertines. It provides attorneys for radical criminals and agitators. By bringing lawsuits before favorable judges to set precedence, it advances Illuminism. It has advanced the cause of Communism while seeking to suppress Christianity and route every vestige of it from public life. Roger Baldwin, a high-ranking official in the American Civil Liberties Union for 50 years, stated his goals as follows:

I am for socialism, disarmament and ultimately for abolishing the State itself as an instrument of violence and compulsion. I seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and the sole control of those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal.[2]

Such are the goals of the American Civil Liberties Union.

Following the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, the ACLU proceeded to control conservative and constitutionalist opposition by presenting vapid opposition to the resulting police state laws. By appearing to oppose G.W. Bush’s police state, it drove many conservatives and constitutionalists, who knew about the ACLU’s communist, anti-Christian sympathy, to support Bush’s police state — if the ACLU opposed it, it must be good.

Tavistock Institute
Another important illuministic organization is the Tavistock Institute. It was founded in 1921 “to study the effect of shell shock on British soldiers who survived World War I.”[3] It studied how much stress people could endure before breaking and how to control people. It also developed mass brainwashing techniques.

The Tavistock Institute has developed and employed effective techniques to break down all loyalties that a person had to family, nation, race, or God. Its goal is to reduce people to a state in which they cannot hold any stable personal relationships, thus, making them easier for the Illuminists to manipulate. It and its subsidiary front groups have developed techniques to use commercial advertisements not only to sell products, but also to inculcate the globalist, integrationist, political, social, and economic philosophies of the Illuminists. One of the purpose of the Tavistock Institute is to indoctrinate thoroughly officials of the great tax-exempt foundations in the Luciferian New World Order. Among its accomplishments have been training of the entire staff of the Office of Strategic Services, Strategic Bombing Survey, and Supreme Headquarters of the Allied Expeditionary Forces. It has also been a leader in developing mind-altering drugs.

The Tavistock Institute is a front for the British Army Bureau of Psychological Warfare.[4] British intelligence controls it. The Bank of England controls its finances.

In the United States, the Stanford Research Institute serves the purpose of the Tavistock Institute. Like the Tavistock Institute, it develops techniques for mind control and deception. It is a prime force behind the New Age religions and concomitant occultism.[5]

Another group closely allied with the Tavistock Institute in the United States is the Institute for Policy Studies. Much of its funding came from James Paul Warburg, CFR member and a founder of United World Federalists. The Institute for Policy Studies organized the Students for Democratic Society (SDS), which spread drug usage and revolution to college campuses. Financing the SDS was the CIA, the United Nations, Rockefeller Foundation, Ford Foundation, United Auto Workers, and the Cuban government.[6]

The Heritage Foundation, Hoover Institute, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Rand Corp. are also part of the Tavistock Institute Network.[7]

Gorbachev Foundation
In 1992 Mikhail Gorbachev, a Freemason, came to the United States and established the International Foundation for Socio-Economic and Political Studies, which is known as the Gorbachev Foundation. The purpose of the Gorbachev Foundation was to develop a plan to bring about a world government in the twenty-first century. The plan called for people enslaving themselves to an all-powerful illuministic government to protect the Earth from environmental catastrophe. To achieve this goal, the plan called for a global taxation system to finance the reformed international military force that will carry out the plan. The military reform called for reducing the size of America’s armed forces and placing foreign troops in the United States (as President George W. Bush, a member of Skull and Bones, has done as part of his War on Terrorism). Thus, Gorbachev used concern about the environment to usher in the New World Order. Gorbachev also promoted unification of the religions of the world; he sought to replace them, especially Christianity, with humanism (the foundation of Communism) and Pantheism (the foundation of Eastern mysticism).

Gorbachev’s plan received support of many high-degree Illuminists. Supporters included George Shultz (Nixon’s Secretary of Labor and Secretary of the Treasury, Regan’s Secretary of State, CFR member, member of the Trilateral Commission), chairman of the board of advisors for the Gorbachev Foundation; Alan Cranston (United States Senator from California), chairman of the board of directors; and James Garrison (New Age Esalen Institute), president of the Gorbachev Foundation.

Pope John Paul II also collaborated with Gorbachev in ushering in the New World Order. Gorbachev saw the pope as “the world’s highest moral authority.”

The Mysteries

The Mysteries
Thomas Allen

[Editor's note: The footnotes in the original is omitted.]

Secret societies may be said to begin with Nimrod and his worship of Lucifer—or, perhaps more correctly, with the death of Nimrod. Nimrod is often credited with founding Freemasonry; he invented it with the building of the Tower of Babel. This Nimrod is the infamous Nimrod of the Bible (Genesis 3:21), who established a great empire. Among the names given to Nimrod in later history are Marduk, Bel, and Merodach.[1]

Nimrod was a master of the occult and other Satanic practices. He employed genocide—especially of Aryans—and encouraged miscegenation—especially with Aryans. Ritual murders, human sacrifices, and cannibalism were also among his practices.

Legend has it that Shem, Nimrod’s great-uncle, beheaded Nimrod. Then he cut up Nimrod’s body and sent the pieces to Nimrod’s priest as a warning of what would happen to them if they did not cease their vileness and demonic worship. The priests hid the pieces of Nimrod’s body in their groves and shrines. They revered these relics of Nimrod’s body as objects of worship. The worship of these relics became the first “Mysteries.” These Mysteries were made known to initiates only after long indoctrination. When the Illuminists were convinced that an initiate could be trusted not to betray the true object of worship, they enlightened the initiate. Masonic rites originate from these Mysteries.[2]

Some of the secret societies counted among the Mysteries are the Persian Mysteries (Zoroastrianism and the cult of Mithra and Semiramis Mysteries), Greco-Thracian Mysteries of Eleusis (the Mysteries of Demeter, Persephone, and Dionysus), the Babylonian Mysteries (the Mysteries of Ishtar and Tammuz in Babylon), the Egyptian Mysteries (the Mysteries of Isis and Osiris), the Phoenician Mysteries (Mysteries of Baal and Ashtoreth in Canaan), Arabian Mysteries (from which comes Islam[3]) and Gnosticism. Much of the mystery cults survives in the Babylonian Talmud, the Zohar, and the Cabala. The Mysteries, especially the Egyptian Mysteries, also appear in the symbolism and rituals of Freemasonry.

Many of the Mysteries imitated the death of resurrection of Christ. Most Mysteries were built around the death of a god or goddess who later rose from the dead. Followers of this god or goddess would receive eternal life if they acquired the appropriate knowledge and performed the proper rite. The Mysteries ranged from extreme hedonism to extreme austerely, from satisfying all the lusts of the flesh to hating and mutilating the flesh because it was the enemy of salvation. At the heart of the Mysteries were regeneration, procreation, and reproduction. The Mysteries promised that the practitioner, with proper ritual magic, which was the secret of the Mysteries, would gain wealth and power. They promised the ability to control the fate of men and countries. The objective of the Mysteries was to make man god. Another basic tenet of the Mysteries was the idea of universal brotherhood.

Entry into the priesthood required the initiate to pass through a series of occult rituals. Secret doctrines were only revealed to the initiate once he reached the highest level of the priesthood. This secret doctrine always included the worship of Lucifer although he was frequently called by a different name, such as the God of Hades or the God of the Underworld. (Freemasons call Lucifer the Great Architect.) While in a trance, the high priest communicated with Lucifer or his demon messengers. These demons became the god or goddess of the Mysteries religion. Kah believes that the idols worshiped were more than pieces of stone, clay, or metal; they were actually images of the demons themselves.[4] The Mysteries would go on to form the foundation of the secret societies that followed.

Canaanites
The Canaanites partook of the Mysteries and more literally followed the hideous and evil practices of Nimrod than most others. Afterwards, the Nimrodic cult appeared in the Phoenicians, an offshoot of the Canaanites.

The Canaanites seemed to vanish from history around 1200 B.C. However, they essentially merged with their kindred the Phoenicians. With the fall of Carthage in 146 B.C., the occulted society of the Canaanites suffered a great set back, but it was not destroyed. The Luciferian occult of Nimrod would later appear in Freemasonry, various societies of the Illuminists, and other secret societies. Among the groups that later instituted various practices of Nimrod were the Pharisees, Sadducees, Zealots, Essenes, Herodians, Scribes, and Assassins.

Zoroastrianism Zoroastrianism arose around 600 B.C. Zoroaster taught the existence of two gods, a good god and an evil god, or the God of Light and the God of Darkness. These two gods constantly struggled against each other. Zoroastrianism is an ancestor of Freemasonry. (In Freemasonry, the God of the Christians is the God of Darkness. Lucifer is the God of Light That Lucifer is the God of Light who enlightens, illuminates, and frees man is the great secret of Freemasonry and other illuminated societies.) Zoroastrianism is also an ancestor of the Jewish Cabala and Talmud, i.e., Judaism.

MithraA branch of Zoroastrianism was the cult of Mithra. Mithra was the god of light and truth and intercessor between man and Ormuzd or Ahura Mazda. Ormuzd was the supreme god and creator and the good principle or light. Mithra became worshiped as a solar deity. He promised his worshipers worldly success and happiness and security in the next world. This cult contained seven grades of initiation. It became popular in the Roman Empire and was particularly strong among the Roman Praetorian Guard.

GnosticismGnosticism flourished several centuries before and after Christ. Gnostics claimed knowledge of the secrets of the Mysteries. Gnosticism taught that only by developing certain facets of his mind can man come to his full power. Knowledge is not merely the collection of facts; it is also mystical. Gnostics stress personal mystical experience, and initiates were guided to and through this experience under great secrecy. The secret knowledge of the Gnostics was how to contact the supreme being or power; contact with this power enabled man to work out his destiny. Once an initiate learned to contact this power, he became a vehicle for its use. He became identified with and part of the power. Accordingly, he attained his true purpose as a purified personality and became infinitely superior to the unenlightened masses. Gnostics believed that a person gained salvation through knowledge of his spiritual nature. Thus, Gnosticism taught that salvation came from knowledge, especially from “knowledge of the mysteries of the Universe and of magic formula indicative of that knowledge.”[5] Gnosticism promised the initiate that he could fully realize his divine nature and achieve oneness with God, “who is the Universe in all its phases and in its wholeness and completeness.”[6] Through knowledge, man could become God. Pantheism is the chief dogma of Gnosticism.

Gnostics considered themselves intellectual aristocrats; only a few were capable of receiving their knowledge. They saw themselves more enlightened and, therefore, more important than the unenlightened. While believing the basic principles of Gnosticism, they could easily participate in the outward ceremonies and teachings of the prevailing political and religious system. Gnosticism was the forerunner of a universal religion. Many held that they had a license to sin and that God’s law taught promiscuity. Gnostic masters often used drugs to debauch their followers and to make them easier to control.

During the Christian era, Gnostics attempted to supplement the Christian faith with the knowledge of the eternal and to give Christianity a wider meaning by linking it to earlier religions. Because Gnosticism was more deceptive and clever than other forms of Pantheism, it became the most effective and widely accepted form and the occult’s only major counter explanation to the message and person of Christ. Its primary objective was to subvert and destroy the person of Christ and Christianity and to replace Christianity with the worship of Lucifer. Gnostics taught that Jesus was an ascetic, a magician, or a sexual deviate who used secret ceremonies to initiate his followers. Jesus, who had found the secret knowledge of the Universe and thereby obtained higher consciousness, was not the savior of man. The fundamental principle of Gnosticism was the double divinity or dual principle: Lucifer is the good god; Christ is the evil god, the devil. Gnostics claimed that what Christians called vice was for Gnostics really virtue. For some Gnostics, good and evil were meaningless labels; experiencing everything was the way to perfection. Gnostics rejected the Christian idea of absolute morality.

Gnosticism descended from the Cabala. It was religious existentialism. The seal of Lucifer marked Gnosticism. Originally, the Gnostics were Jewish occultists, but non-Jewish followers soon dominated Gnosticism. Gnosticism is also part of the ancestry of Freemasonry and modern-day occultism, New Age religion. Experimentalism, which was popular among the hippies of the 1960s, is a modern-day form of Gnosticism.

Some notable Gnostics were Simon the Magician and Basilides. Simon merged Greek philosophy with Christianity and taught that the human soul existed outside the physical body. Thus, it had access to universal knowledge. He also taught that wisdom came from the heavens to Earth. Basilides was an Egyptian “Christian” who merged the ancient Mysteries with Christianity. He believed in extraterrestrial beings who were messengers between the heavens and Earth.

Carpocratians
An important Gnostic cult was the Carpocratians of the second century A.D. This group held the laws of Christianity and Judaism in contempt. Carpocratians recognized only the knowledge of great men, such as Plato, Pythagoras, Moses, and Jesus, freed from the taint of religious doctrines. They made man God’s equal and approached the deification of humanity. (Man as God’s equal or man as god is a key doctrine of illuministic secret societies.) Since man is a god, he needs no revelation or guidance from God. Man only needs introspection about his own nature. As nature is divine, natural man is praiseworthy. For man to hold land, goods, women, and everything else in common is natural. Human laws to the contrary are unnatural. Carpocratians lived a lascivious lifestyle.

Valentinians
Another important Gnostic sect was the Valentinians who dressed their Gnostic beliefs in Christian terminology. Unlike the Carpocratians, who practices extreme licentiousness, the Valentinians practiced extreme asceticism.

Gnosticism eventually merged with Manichaeanism. Manichaeanism taught syncretistic religious dualism and releasing the spirit from matter through asceticism.

Greek Mysteries
In Greece the illuministic cult of Nimrod surfaced about 1400 BC in the Eleusinian Mysteries, which were also known as the Mysteries of Demeter, Persephone, and Dionysus. These Mysteries were the principal religious mysteries of the ancient Greeks. They began as agricultural rites combined with the afterlife. The Eleusinian Mysteries did not appear to have expressed any special metaphysical, ethnical, or social message.

A descendant of the Eleusinian Mysteries was Orphism, which was the next important Greek Mysteries. Orpheus introduced the Orphic Mysteries in the sixth century B.C. Orphism was centered around Dionysus and Zagreus, the son of Zeus and Persephone. Orphism dealt with man’s dual nature of good and evil and sought to deliver the divine soul of man from his evil flesh. Nevertheless, it glorified evil. (The glorification of evil is an important component of modern Illuminism.)

Related to Orphism was the Pythagorean School founded by Pythagoras, a Rosicrucian,[7] at Crotona in the six century B.C. The Pythagorean School was much more of a secret society than the earlier Mysteries. It was more like most modern-day secret societies in its concern for esoteric doctrines. Members of this school were carefully initiated. It emphasized the mystery aspects of philosophy. This school was an early school of secular humanism and an early school of dialectic. It was a communistic aristocratic community. Men and women held their goods in common and believed that they were the guarding rulers of the state. One of its key teachings, salvation through special knowledge, is a key doctrine of modern secret societies. Its two primary tenets were transmigration of souls and that numbers were the true essence of all things. Also, it stresses such virtues as truthfulness, temperance, fortitude, prudence, justice, and abstinence from vice. Many of its precepts, such as numerology, later appeared in the Book of Zohar and the Cabala. Theosophy is a modern-day version of the Pythagorean School. Pythagoras “may have been the first to predict a ‘New World Order.’”[8]

Following Pythagorus as a secret society leader was Plato. Plato was an important figure behind the scene of the political maneuvering occurring in his day. He wrote The Republic as a guide for humanist rulers.

In Plato’s ideal society, a small elite ruling class supported by a powerful army ruled the state. The ruling elite exercised absolute power over the masses. Women were completely equal to men and did the same labor as men including fighting wars along the side of men. Marriage and family were eliminated. Sex was promiscuous, and the government reared the resulting offspring when they were weaned. The government undertook a program of selective breeding. Children considered inferior were killed. Plato’s society had three classes: the ruling elite, the military, and the workers. The rulers assigned each person to one of these classes.

Illuministic Greek Governments
An early government established by Illuminists was the government of Sparta established by Lycurgus in the seventh century B.C. This government operated under the authority of superstition mixed with violence. It was an early form of Communism. Sparta became one great camp. All citizens shared in public meals and public sleeping quarters. Everyone held an equal share of land. Slaves worked the land to support the family of the holder. Although marriages existed, promiscuity was encouraged. (Marriage was permitted after age 20 and compelled for the unmarried at age 30.) When a child was born, a committee examined the infant to decide if it should live. Boys were separate from parents at an early age and underwent a uniform militaristic training program directed by the government. To prevent the accumulation of wealth, business enterprise was prohibited, and all male citizens essentially live a militaristic life.

Athens also fell victims to Illuminists. Its form of government differed greatly from Sparta, at least on the surface. In Athens the form was democracy. The Illuminists indoctrinated the Athenians with the idea that government should be by consent, so they became a democracy. Once democracy was in place, the Illuminists could manipulate the masses through demagoguery. Thus, Athens was reduced to a government of men and their immediate whims. The rule of law vanished.

Sparta provided the model for communistic Russia. Athens provided the model for democratic America.

Appendix. Garden of EdenIlluminism goes back before recorded history. Perhaps the earliest record of Illuminism is the story of the Garden of Eden and Eve eating the forbidden fruit. Lucifer sent his agent, an Illuminist named Nahash, who was a pre-Adamic human, to persuade Eve, the mother of the Aryan people, to rebel against her Master, and Lucifer’s arch enemy, the God of the Christians. Eve fell for Nahash’s illuministic deception, rebelled against God, and ate the forbidden fruit.

Nahash deceived Eve with two lies, which are the foundation of Pantheism, the religion of the Illuminists. They are (1) that she would not die, and (2) that she would become like God. Thus, Lucifer won his first battle in his war to destroy the race that God created in His image. By destroying the Aryans, Lucifer hoped to defeat God and supplant Him. If he could not defeat God, at least he would have the satisfaction of destroying God’s special people. Unfortunately for Lucifer, but fortunately for Christians, God foiled Lucifer’s scheme by sending His Son, Jesus, into the world.
