PART I – Preparing For The Next Stage Of The Illuminati’s New World Order Since the earliest beginnings of the Illuminati, before the writing of our eternal oaths or the utterance of our vows as humanity’s protectors, our organization has advocated for the ultimate goal of a globalist Earth. Our vision for the future is a unified planet without national borders, governed by the best and the brightest of the human species, in which all people, in all places, can live in Abundance. A globalist society would mean the abandonment of divisions between countries and an end to the millennia of wars fought over land and its assets. It is an end to the hoarding and stockpiling of excess resources by one country while another country’s people starve. It is the idea that all humans are both individuals and also part of an extended species family, and that no human should be left behind simply because of the random chance of where they were born. In the current Age of War, the rich must hoard their supplies to ensure the safety of their children through this time of chaos. Their obelisks and factories can only be built through the work of necessitous masses. But a different age is nearly upon us – a post-labor civilization maintained by autonomous machinery and powered with unlimited energy. In the coming Age of Illuminatiam, all who seek riches receive the riches they deserve. In the new world order, there is a place for everything and a purpose for everyone Our plan for this planet sees humans that are not divided into tribes based on their geographic locations, physical appearances, or access to resources. Instead, every person is one unique part of a worldwide ecosystem in which their choices have an effect on the whole. Every person is a vital piece of a bigger machine that benefits from the entirety of humankind. Every person has the freedom to discover their purpose, to follow their passion, to better themselves, and to see how their efforts contribute to the lives of 8 billion others — instead of simply serving themselves and their needs. Globalism’s total unification is part of our utopian vision for the advancement of humanity –– a new world order of the ages. But there is a long and arduous road ahead, and many steps to take before humanity’s borders can be erased. Humanity is not a species of 8,000,000,000; it is a species of 1 times 8,000,000,000 Ever since the first prehistoric inhabitants of Earth began to unite into packs for the communal pursuit of resources, humans have found themselves naturally drawn to communities that most closely resemble their own innate beliefs and genetic makeup. By forming tribes, humans divided this planet into sections that would allow deeply varying belief systems and cultures to have the opportunity to thrive and develop organically. But in these early times, citizens of this planet could only communicate with those nearby geographically, lacking the technology to share ideas and opinions as freely as they do now. For thousands of years, a person on one side of the planet could form their beliefs about their purpose in the universe without ever hearing about the beliefs of a person on the other side of the same planet — without having the opportunity to form doubts and to face questions that would challenge and improve their view of the world. Though much of the ideas of morality formed by early humans are filled with merit, many parts of early doctrines have overgrown into roadblocks that hinder the progression of humanity. These ideas have ingrained themselves so deeply into the human mind that citizens seeking the truth must often question their deepest-held beliefs before they can see what is obvious in front of them. When lacking experience with those who believe differently, humans begin to fear the “Other” — the unfamiliar vastness of humanity who may not be like them. This fear has been bred into humans so deeply that it requires generations to undo. Thousands of years of distrust have led to wars followed by retaliations; invasions followed by revenge; plundering followed by the burning of the invaders’ cities. Even to this day, too many humans refuse to see all people as part of a single group striving for survival from extinction. A time approaches when all will be revealed and centuries of strings will merge into a grand tapestry To protect the integrity of our plan against those who would seek to destroy it, the Illuminati has been compelled to leave many questions unanswered and to direct our members to perform their duties in secret. But scaremongers and peddlers of fake news have used the Illuminati’s silence to portray our agenda through the distorted lens of mistrust, spreading false rumors about our goals simply to strengthen their hold of power. A line must be drawn between the Illuminati’s unifying globalist agenda and the poisonous lies of Corrupt Globalism: a bastardization of our intent which reduces individual humans into numbered workers and serves only those currently in power. Corrupt Globalism is merely the sweet coating of a false name to disguise the bitter aristocracy that hides underneath. The Illuminati does not seek to end the ownership of private property. Our goal is not an elimination of self-defensive weapons but the elimination of the need for self-defensive weapons. We do not propose a society that relies on a government to provide for their needs, but an overabundance of resources that makes unfair trade and labor obsolete. Only warmongers and dictators profit from the subjugation of their people, but they are merely relics of a soon-to-be past era. For what joy is a world in which some may delight while others must suffer — if it was possible for all to live in comfort? True efforts can still be fairly rewarded when all are living in mansions and some are living in palaces. Humanity has already taken steps toward the ultimate unification of the Illuminati’s new world order. Global connectivity was one of the primary steps toward our goal of a full-earth society. Digital technology is uniting the planet in ways it has never seen before, allowing ideas to be shared freely and fostering connections that transform the Other into the Same, and insecurities into understanding. Our outreach has laid the groundwork for introducing higher concepts to the citizens who will form this planet’s new foundation: the seekers who have long felt that there is a deeper purpose to humanity’s existence and a deeper secret to this universe’s design that is encoded in all living things. It is our duty to guide all who seek this transformation — our universal obligation to leave signs and signals for those who are looking for our path. A person cannot be forced to believe. They must seek the answers to the same mysteries and climb the same steps of the pyramid as every member of our organization did before them. You are one who has stepped away from the millions who ignore our message. You have seen our symbols and answered our call, and followed the directions that led you to these words. As you search for the truth and meaning behind the secret of life and all that has been hidden from humankind, you join with the seekers of the Light in this journey that began long before you were even born. A goal is a project that cannot be accomplished immediately, but will require time, planning, and effort to reach Soon humanity will no longer be faced with the obstacles of need and the barriers of labor. Emerging technologies are reducing humanity’s reliance on disappearing forms of energy. New methods of printable construction and autonomous transportation will finally eradicate the requirement of physical effort to build structures and move materials, freeing laborers to produce and create and thrive. Resources found on other planets are within reach and lead to new opportunities never before seen within the boundaries of Earth. The greatest days of humanity are ahead. All who have seen the Light and turned to follow its glow are the pioneers of humanity’s next stage — the curators of its greatest transformation. In the swiftly approaching Age of Illuminatiam, every human will be both one, and one of 8 billion. Year by year, step by step, the Illuminati continues to guide the citizens of this planet closer to our ultimate goal of global unification. Fear not for the future of humanity. Fear not for the bursting sounds that echo across your red horizons as the monuments to your enslavers are made into dust. Fear not as you travel the road ahead and its pathways darken under the fall of the long night. Darkness signals a new dawn is ahead. You will never be lost if you follow the Light. We are always watching out for you. ▲
Life is a map that is drawn by your decisions. Every day, the maze of existence presents you with hundreds of pathways and you must select a direction through your choices. How will you spend your time? Where will you go? Who will you speak to? What will you say? Each decision leads to a different road with its own set of questions. Your ability to discern between the simplest choices can mean the difference between a life of wealth or poverty, sickness or health, conflict or peace. A small decision that you make today may be the catalyst that sends you on the road to your goals — though you will never know how important this choice is until you reach the end and look back. The map of a life can only be followed backwards, showing the path from the end to the beginning. When making life’s important choices, a person’s actions rely upon their judgment: the internal compass formed by their knowledge, wisdom, and experience. Judgement works like a muscle that must be exercised with endless curiosity and a desire to understand this universe’s deepest mysteries. Many seek a reward before they have prepared to receive it. A gambler can suddenly obtain a fortune but lose it all because he did not have the knowledge of how to save it. An artist can become an overnight superstar but find herself trapped in scandals because she did not take the time to gain experience while she was still unknown. A president can gain the highest power but find that the pyramid’s top is a lonely place if he lacks the wisdom to choose honest advisors. If you seek greatness, is it not better to spend your time preparing for it instead of simply thinking of how much you deserve it? If you cannot learn to manage your life with a little, how can you expect to manage it with a lot? Spend every waking hour in pursuit of your goals and every minute between in search of the knowledge you will need when you finally reach them. Greatness has no destination. Its road must be travelled endlessly to be understood. In the busyness of life, it is easy to forget the lessons that have been learned and to lose sight of your goals. In Illuminati tradition, our members find constant guidance in the messages of our symbols. Many who have found success by following our tenets voluntarily incorporate our symbology into their artwork, architecture, and design. By scattering our messages throughout society, members can never forget the purpose of their lives, and even the lost can be led to the truth. The Pyramid, the Eye, the Light, and the Eternal Circle that form the Illuminati’s insignia serve as reminders of concepts that have guided humans for millennia. By signing the Eternal Oath, our members discover the power that hides inside their own resolutions – and by placing our signatures beneath its vows, we form a constant, physical bond between ourselves and humanity. The power of a ritual is not found in its movements but rather in the state of mind that results in its participants. When facing important decisions, our members call upon the knowledge and wisdom they have gained through our traditions to find the steps they must take to achieve greatness. Wherever you are in your journey — and however dark the road may seem — know that the knowledge you have stored throughout life will be your lantern for the path ahead. Pilots rely on the accuracy of their instruments to choose the safest route. Humans rely on the accuracy of their judgement to choose the path for their lives. Seek knowledge, wisdom, and experience to sharpen your mind’s instrument so that the road to your goals will prepare you for your destination. An investment in knowledge is the safest of life’s gambles. ▲
The Pendulum Of Power Atime of global change is upon us. Though many are confident in these changes, many others are now uncertain about the future. All is easy when the wind is still and the ground is peaceful. But when the gusts of change begin to push against their backs, humans begin to realize how fragile they truly are. In this Age of War, humanity stands on a perpetual precipice: staring down into the maw of oblivion, where any misstep might send them into extinction. How much turmoil can humanity withstand before it is pushed over the edge? Are these global rearrangements merely tremors beneath humanity’s feet, or are they the rumblings of the final quake? The strength of a unity is found in compromise. Crowns have passed through thousands of kings and queens, each different from the previous. Like the pendulum of a clock, power swings from one side to the other in an endless passing of time. It creates a balance between two opposing forces – each side relying on the other to maintain order. Neither side is entirely right or wrong, but neither side can relent. If the pendulum ceases to sway, the clock ceases to function. Peaceful transfer of power is a foundation of freedom. It is easy to place the blame for hardships on the shoulders of humanity’s leaders if they are not the leaders that you chose. In the minds of their opposition, a leader turns into an enemy; their mistakes turn into premeditated attacks; their human flaws turn into irreparable defects; their missteps turn into wicked conspiracies. Many refuse to see any good in those who disagree with them simply because their beliefs are different. Criticism is the restraint that holds a leader from becoming a dictator. But even the greatest leader is made of the same materials as that of the lowest. The minds of a king and a commoner differ only in what they have chosen to fill theirs with. To claim that any leader is entirely evil – or entirely good – is to claim that they are not human. Find peace in the eternal question: “Cui bono?” For whose benefit? What do leaders stand to gain from the destruction of the people they lead? What would motivate a king or queen to destroy the very reason they wear the crown? Every king is outnumbered by his people. Who then truly leads a country? When questioning the actions of your leaders, ask yourself how you would confront the same dilemmas if bearing the same responsibilities. Remember that what is seen publicly is only a fraction of what truly happens behind the curtain – a facade of wealth and power that hides the grave severity of the decisions being made behind it. Your leaders have no motivation to cause you harm, and in the interests of your safety, must often make decisions that you cannot understand and may seem suspicious when viewed out of context. If you believe your decisions would serve the advancement of humanity better than the decisions of your current leaders, you are welcome to invest the time and effort required to replace them, as they did to the leaders before them. Time is a powerful revelator. This planet has overcome millennia of hardships and survived disasters more devastating than the wars recorded by history. Humanity has faced its worst leaders, its worst regimes, its worst obstacles, and survived to become stronger. Though divided by opinion, all must unite for the good of humanity. Fear not for the future of this planet’s most resilient species. Though the portraits inside the palaces may change, and the names on the maps may be altered, humanity’s clock will continue uninterrupted. When the winds of change threaten to push you off your feet, find refuge in the shelter of the pyramid. We are always watching out for you. ▲
ILLUMINATIONS: Wisdom From This Planet's Greatest Minds Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do The world is filled with people who strive so hard to be loved by the majority that they lose all reason to love themselves. Humans are told since infancy that they must act a certain way, must dress in certain clothes, must say and do certain things, simply because the majority does so. These voices become so ingrained in a person’s mind as a child that they continue to act as subconscious wardens of their lives as adults. Though they have the freedom to act as they wish, many people continue to make decisions based on what they have been told by others instead of what they have learned themselves. Many lives are wasted by choosing the monotony of safety over the boldness of the uncharted. Wealth and success are like streams of water running down a pyramid. The highest receive the most because there are fewer while the lowest receive the least because there are many. Before the water can reach the bottom, first it must run through all the others above it. Though the lowest support the weight of all who are above them, they are numerous and easily replaced — unique individually, but common together. A person climbs higher by becoming less like those below them. It is easy to travel upon a road laid by others but its only reward is the dust its builders leave behind. In life, a person’s value is found in how difficult they are to replace. The builders of a home are paid less than an architect because there are many workers but few who can design the plans the workers must follow. The president of a company is paid more than its employees because a leader must guide many to achieve a goal, while followers must only follow what they are told. There are many who are wealthy but far fewer with ideas. A person with money can be replaced by another person with money, but a person with unique ideas can never be duplicated. Overachievers are forged by the fires of underachievers’ ridicule. Life is easy when lived according to others’ plans. When you choose a different path, you invite the scorn of those around you who lack the courage to pursue their own goals. A person moves to step higher on the pyramid and the hands of those below them reach to pull them back. Their voices demand to know why you must be different. What did you do to deserve better? Do you truly think you are capable of greatness? Who do you think you are? Greatness is not about who you are but who you believe you can become. Have courage to pursue your own path. The sheep are safe in their cages but the lions run free in the wilderness. The greatest among us are most different from the rest. ▲
ILLUMINATIONS: Wisdom From This Planet's Greatest Minds Lions don’t lose sleep over the opinions of sheep The life of a sheep is easier than the life of a lion. Sheep are given food and water freely by their shepherd, and are protected from predators by shelters they did not build. They fatten themselves on the shepherd’s food, thriving into a multitude that outnumbers the lions. But these comforts bind the sheep into slavery. The sheep are bred to be weaker of mind and body, to require the shepherd’s protection so greatly that they can be free of physical chains but never stray. Theirs is a lifetime of servitude — one that is comfortable but ends at the shepherd’s whim. Lions have no masters. Though the lion must hunt for its own food and search for its own shelter, it is free to roam where it wishes and requires no one to open its gate. Though the feeding trough of the sheep is filled, it is only with the grass and grain of its master’s choosing. A lion must hunt and chase its meals, but feasts on anything it catches. Wealth and success never come to those who simply wait for them to arrive. Some humans choose to be sheep. They desire freedom but rely on others to provide their comforts, striving for riches but investing little effort to attain it. They scream in protest when they are fenced in and herded — angry that they are not free like the lions — but accept the shepherd’s food nonetheless. Though they rebel by day, they always wander home to their cages by night. Only a fool believes that all deserve equal rewards for unequal effort. Leaders must have unwavering confidence in their decision to choose effort over leisure. As human sheep boast of their slothful lives of ease and criticize any who work to better themselves, the shepherds pay no heed. Mockery is weak when shouted through the bars of a cage. Is it the lion’s stupidity that keeps it from a life of leisure? How can so many sheep be wrong as they grow fatter on the shepherd’s food? Why would any creature choose to run free in the dangerous and uncertain wilderness? Humans are not born as sheep or lions but must choose a path for themselves. Will you strive for what is easy and safe? To follow close to the multitude? To remain within the fences that protect you from the outside but imprison you within its boundaries? Or will you travel the path you choose, exploring freely in the dangerous forests of life, leading your own way in a planet filled with followers? At sunset, the sheep are herded back into their prison and fed until they drift into sleep. The lion enjoys no such promises, wandering upon the mountains in search of a meal: hungry, but free. Though it lacks the comforts of a shepherd’s security, a lion never wishes for the life of a sheep. A lion may hunger while a sheep is fed, but the fattest sheep is the lion’s meal. ▲
Many desire to wear the cloak of kings but few can stand under the weight of its burden. The privileges of power beckon with promises of wealth, prestige, protection, and authority. But power is an apple whose core is poisoned — one bite too deep and all is lost. Those who lead the way have no one else to follow. There is no instruction manual for leaders. No map can tell a king which way will steer his country to prosperity and which will lead to its destruction. Leaders must forge ahead with certainty, calculating every possible outcome to ensure the safety of those who walk behind them. Even the velvet of a royal cloak cannot cushion the weight of the thousands of lives that rest on the king’s shoulders. Leaders must maintain a delicate balance between the privileges of their authority and their vast responsibilities to the followers who look to them for guidance. A queen who feasts in her palace while her people starve will quickly discover that if her title cannot turn into food, and her crown cannot turn into water, then her people cannot be stopped when they turn on her. A king is not a king if no one chooses to follow him. Are you prepared to lead when times are hard and your people look to you for direction? Not all desire to be royal but all desire to be better. In your family, work, and daily life, prove your readiness for more through the things you accomplish with less. If you hope to lead, first you must find the path before others can follow your directions. ▲
Do you desire to be a leader, or are you merely a seeker of the power and privileges that leaders command? The people may see their king upon a throne and wonder why one human is allowed to reign above another — believing that they are deserving of a life they believe to be easy. But when war comes to their gates, will they have the courage to decide whose children must be sent to fight and die, and whose will stay and live? When the crown of a prince’s fathers and grandfathers adorns his head, will he be able to feed and defend his people or will he be a failure to the countless generations who led before him? When you answer to no one, no one answers your cries for help. It is easy to strive for the benefits of power or wealth while overlooking their great responsibilities. If you are meant to be a leader, seek wisdom over riches. Those with power and no wisdom often lose it; those with wisdom and no power often gain it. ▲
“No matter what walk of life you come from, you will find shelter in the light that this book provides.” Aett Heimdallrsson It is our privilege to announce that the Illuminatiam Testament has returned to the bestseller lists, continuing its more than 100 days at #1 and reaching thousands with its guidance to life, hardships, success, and this planet’s future. Countless studiers of its words have shared it with their friends, family, and associates across this planet. Their work has led millions to see the Light. However, alongside the positive reaction from most readers, the Testament has uncovered a deep-seated resentment in others – a feeling that hides within a small segment of our wealthiest and most powerful members, and must be addressed. Since its publication, some of our members have voiced concerns over the availability of the Testament’s message. Some believe that the Illuminatiam’s text should be reserved only for this planet’s elite and that by making the Testament accessible to all people, its message is devalued. They refer to the Tenet Of Value & Trade, claiming that if things of value are never free, then things of low cost must also have low value. The greatest among us must never forget that they were once the least of all. It is inexcusable to assume that this planet’s citizens are unprepared to learn the same truths as the elite. The Illuminatiam is written for all people, in all places – not just those of power, prestige, or wealth. It is a map to point the lost to the Light and a guide for those who already walk upon the path. The value of something is not found in its cost, but in the sacrifice it requires to obtain. An estate has less value to those who own dozens, but far more to those who own none. Paper money is no sacrifice to those whose immense wealth drowns out their exchange, but requires determination from those who have less. Though you may have much, consider those who do not but continue to seek the Light. The mind of a person is not valued by the money its body commands, but by the knowledge it chooses to be filled with. The harder the road, the more skilled its traveler. The Illuminati is not a printer nor a charity, and never charges membership fees of any kind. No one is provided with tools for free: all seekers both rich and poor carry the expense of their Testament’s printing, just as you did when your journey began. To require high membership fees as a gatekeeper for our messages would only turn away those who exhibit determination but temporarily lack wealth — many of whom are future members of our organization. They require a map to begin the same journey as you. All must be welcomed if the human race is to be protected from what is to come. A map cares nothing for the value of the hands that hold it. Its directions lead the rich upon the same roads as the poor. Do not judge those with less simply because you have more, and do not judge those with more simply because you have less. A private jet is lonely when its seats are occupied by one. The vacant halls and rooms of your estates echo behind locked gates – an emptiness that could house hundreds of minds as bright as yours, but whose bodies lack the wealth required to live with lavish material comforts. We must support them in their journey, as others have supported you. The age of Illuminatiam approaches and all must be made ready. Humans of all types have stepped onto the road that leads to the Light. Look to the seekers who walk alongside you — it is their hands that hold the future of the Illuminati.
