Illuminati is a Greek word meaning Illumination a name given to those who submitted to Christian baptism. Those who were baptized were called Illuminati or Illuminated / Enlightened Ones by the Ante-Nicene clergy, on the assumption that those who were instructed for baptism in the Apostolic faith had an enlightened understanding.

The Alumbrados, a mystical 16th-century Spanish sect, were among the societies that subsequently adopted the name Illuminati.

Later, the title of Illuminati was used by a secret society founded in 1776 by Adam Weishaupt, a former Jesuit and professor of canon law at the University of Ingolstadt. It that aimed to combat religious thinking and encourage rationalism.

Many people believe that the Illuminati have been plotting to take over the world since the time of its creation. To me Illuminati does exited - an may in some form still exist. It is all part of the conspiracy games men play. The reality / program in which we exist has always been based on those who have the power and knowledge, those who say they do, and those who try to control it.

Knowledge is truly of the light - Illuminati - not meant to be control and bring fear - not meant to be hidden and revealed by the timetable of certain groups, but has always been there for humanity to see. It is about humanity's understanding that we are spirits / soul sparks from a greater source of light - Illuminated Ones - who are having a physical experience in which they are seeking to find our spiritual essence.

Is it a game? All of our reality is a game of experience - created by a grid program - or matrix - in which your consciousness forever moves and you make choices as to what game it wants to play - experience at any given moment in time. This depends or your soul's needs as well as those you wish to experience. Everything is all about experience.

Most functional people will stay away from the conspiracy and cover-up games as we are all on a path into spiritual awareness anyway as planetary frequency is returning to higher levels of consciousness. Many of the dysfunctional souls are here to experience the game of conspiracy - with its little intrigues and perks - far more interesting than staying in balance in 3D and leading a normal productive life.

Like a board game - the object is to win. How does one win? Play a good game, out maneuver your opponent, and end up in control. Our reality has always been a duality, those who want control vs. those who must fight for freedom. (The warrior

Now along comes a man named Adam Weishaupt, who creates a game for world domination. After his time, his philosophies would be passed down to other who like this sort of game and it would perpetuate. These are predominately men - lower frequency game - based on lower frequency emotions of fear, hatred, power, domination. As your soul evolves - you let go of lower frequency emotions - and move to more productive emotions/ frequencies. You do this when your soul gets tired and bored of the games.

About the Illuminati - specific knowledge is sketchy. Naturally it would work its way into political arenas as those are the souls who came into our reality to control and change destinies and be winners at their game.

The energies for the creation of secret societies goes back to the ancient priesthoods of Egypt, when the sacred knowledge of humanity's creation was hidden by those who sought control. They became the priesthoods.

These souls soon moved into Europe - again playing conspiracy games - the knighthoods developing - brotherhoods and other clandestine groups. Curious games. Yet the clues about who we are as a race - our inception and destiny were always there.

It would take till the 21st century for the truths to be revealed as human consciousness moves back into higher frequency and lower frequency emotions / game fail.

Europe has always been a place to play out the the games of royalty and power. Germany of course being the strongest pulse in the 20th century as Hitler made a bid for world power. He lost the game - at least in the reality in which I am writing this! Who knows what may have occurred in parallel realities?

Back to Germany...on its way into world domination..also with karmic ties to Egypt - as the souls are the same - they just moved out of Egypt of ancient timelines and into Germany in more modern lifetimes - same souls - playing new games!

The Order of the Illuminati was established with some unspecified ties to the Masonic lodges of Germany; as a secret society within a secret society, the Illuminati have produced at least as many myths as verifiable facts. The sympathies and beliefs of Weishaupt himself, for instance, have been claimed by countless groups -- atheists, Cabalists, rationalists, democrats, socialists, anarchists. Some trace the Illuminati back to the Knights Templar, to Gnostic cults, to ancient Egypt, and even to Atlantis. In the 1790s, some credited (or blamed) the society with manipulating the American and French Revolutions. In the United States, Federalists encouraged people to believe Thomas Jefferson and the Democratic Republican Party were controlled by the Illuminati in Europe.

It is not strictly necessary to disentangle fact from fiction, since the influence of the Order was greater in legend than in fact. But several things can be stated about the Illuminati with some degree of certainty. The two central figures in the organization were Weishaupt and Adolph Franz Friedrich Ludwid Baron Von Knigge. The Order promoted a belief in deism and a doctrine of spiritual perfection: the society was in fact first known as the Order of Perfectibilists.

At their height, the Illuminati claimed over two thousand members, not only in Germany but in France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Poland, Hungary, and Italy, including Goethe, Herder, and many other prominent nobles and reformers. But the Bavarian government cracked down on the Illuminati and other secret societies in 1784 for allegedly plotting a massive overthrow of Europe's monarchies, although it was unable to squelch them entirely.

By the end of the eighteenth century, however, the Illuminati had effectively disbanded, although legends of their continued existence (and influence) persist into the twentieth century (among, for instance, members of the John Birch Society). Perhaps some of this confusion is owing to the fact that over time, the word Illuminati came to be used more expansively for many enthusiasts of Enlightenment, including the followers of Emmanuel Swedenborg.

Does the Illuminati exist in the 21st century? I am sure there are remnants of the organization still around - just as there are Neo-Nazis. Those souls still need to play their games. The organization of the 18th century would have to be different in method and madness - in the 21st century. Old paradigms always fall away while new ones take their place.

We live in a 3D reality created by electromagnetic energies - which means polarity - North/South - Positive/Negative. Reality is ever-changing. The games of humanity will always persist - the opposites doing battle - the duality of it all - yet in the end that which separates the poles - the north/south of the magnetics - merge - like looking at a tube with north and south ends. The tube is clogged. That represents the games humanity plays. The games/clog are clearing out- which means we are merging north/south - our polarities - which is the pole shift people are waiting for.

As the games end - and most of us sense this change - humanity moves to higher frequency - this means we move our consciousness faster than the speed of light - and go beyond the duality. We now see the truth. We understand the nature of our creation - we become enlightened - for we are the Illuminati - the Enlightened Ones.

And so the games perpetuate with one group or another. Chose your game and see how it plays out!
