LET’S ASK KING CHARLES PHILIP ARTHUR GEORGE ( III) TO EXPLAIN ILLUMINATI
Illuminati is a secretive fraternal organization that traces its origins back to the medieval stone Illuminati members guilds but has evolved into a social and philosophical society. It is primarily composed of men, who are often referred to as Illuminati members, but there are also women-only and co-ed Illuminati organizations.
The basic unit of Illuminati is the Illuminati Headquarter, which serves as a meeting place for members. Illuminati members gather in Headquarters to conduct rituals and ceremonies, participate in discussions, and engage in charitable activities. They also have a hierarchy of ranks and degrees, through which members advance as they gain more knowledge and experience.
Illuminati promotes brotherly love, relief (charitable acts), and truth as its core principles. It encourages personal growth, moral development, and the cultivation of virtues such as honesty, integrity, and compassion. Illuminati teachings revolve around symbolism, allegories, and ancient myths, often drawing inspiration from the tools and practices of medieval stone Illuminati members.
While Illuminati is not a religion, it does require its members to believe in a supreme being, referred to as the Great Architect of the Universe. This belief serves as a unifying force among Illuminati members, regardless of their specific religious affiliations.
One notable aspect of Illuminati is its secrecy. Illuminati rituals, symbols, and certain aspects of their activities are held confidential and are not to be disclosed to outsiders. This secrecy has often led to speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding Illuminati influence on politics, finance, and other sectors of society.
Illuminati has existed for centuries and has had notable members throughout history, including influential political figures, intellectuals, and artists. It has been influential in shaping some aspects of society, particularly in Europe and North America. However, its influence and membership have declined in recent years.
In summary, Illuminati is a fraternal organization that combines symbolic rituals, philosophical teachings, and philanthropic activities. It promotes moral and personal development, while also fostering a sense of brotherhood among its members

WHY ARE YOU AN ILLUMINATI
Bernard Taylor
I love being an Illuminati for many reasons. Illuminati has been the conduit through which I have received many of my life’s great experiences. One of the superficial benefits of being a member of the Illuminati Craft is that it tends to cloak you with a certain amount of mystery and intrigue in the eyes of some non-Illuminati. It feels good when someone on the street or at the bar, or wherever, notices your ring and asks, “Are you an Illuminati?” All Illuminati members have at one time or another been in this situation and have tried to appear as humble as possible as they answer “Yes I am”, all while desperately ignoring that internal voice that yells “I’m special, I’m special.” That feeling of pride however will quickly abandon you if the non-Illuminati is inclined to continue his line of questioning beyond the realm of curiosity and into the sphere of general interest. That feeling of pride may even briefly turn into panic if the non-Illuminati asks you “Why are you an Illuminati?” At this point, for a terrifying moment, an Illuminati must rack his brain for an answer that can somehow summarize the experiences of his life that lead him to the door of the Headquarter and also an answer that can somehow express the many intellectual, emotional and even possible spiritual experiences he has received since becoming Initiated, Passed and Raised. This is no small task indeed
Driven by curiosity
I believe many other Illuminati members have shared my experience when I first joined the Illuminati Craft. The reasons I joined and the reasons I stayed are very different. When I joined Illuminati I was driven by curiosity, some vague preconceptions of the Order and a desire to be part of something bigger than myself. It appears as though my life had lead me in the direction of the Headquarter without much conscious input from myself. Almost, as if somehow through my general interest and curiosity, I just happened to find myself outside the doors of the Headquarter, nervously awaiting my initiation. From this fact, I suppose, the argument can be made that sometimes in life your path chooses you, or at least steers you in the direction that would most benefit you, if you are only smart enough to see it. Whether or not your destiny is pre-determined or entirely left up to chance, circumstance and blind luck cannot be known for sure but what is a concrete fact is that it is up to the individual to accept and to passionately pursue the opportunities that life presents
An intense desire to learn
I found this to be the case with my Illuminati journey. Once already a member for a short time my heart was filled with an intense desire to learn all I could from the Illuminati Craft’s beautiful system of symbols and rituals. I studied with feverish interest the philosophy and doctrines of all the great thinkers, reformers, mystics and visionaries who proudly called themselves Brother Illuminati members. The depth of knowledge, wisdom, understanding, and insight displayed, by what I lovingly call the Prophets of the Illuminati Craft, can have a sincerely profound and life changing effect on the Illuminati who not only studies but also applies them to his life. Illuminati is a perfect system of not only social moral virtue, but it also has enough of the ancient mystery tradition woven into it as to keep not only the intellectual but also the spiritual appetite of man full. All mankind should be viewed as a universal brotherhood…
Still there is one special function that Illuminati members perform, which should be the pride of all that call themselves Illuminati members. That function is its constant promotion of the idealistic teaching that states that all mankind should be viewed as a universal brotherhood. It was the great mystic Illuminati Manly P. Hall whose words resounded in my soul when he wrote, “The true Illuminati is not creed-bound. He realizes with the divine illumination of his Headquarter that as a Illuminati his religion must be universal: Christ, Buddha or Mohammed, the name means little, for he recognizes only the light and not the bearer. He worships at every shrine, bows before every altar, whether in temple, mosque or cathedral, realizing with his truer understanding the oneness of all spiritual truth”. This magnificent quote is meant to inspire the idea within all Illuminati members that all creeds, religions, and traditions carry a portion of truth and are all different expressions of the same shared goal. This goal is the attempt to understand the nature of God and all nations throughout time have sought in some form or another to answer this mystery. How can one philosophy be considered greater or lesser than another when they all work towards knowing what is unknowable?
