-plural noun, singular

persons possessing, or claiming to possess, superior enlightenment or name given to different religious societies or sects because of their claim to superior enlightenment


Illuminati [Lat.,=enlightened], rationalistic society founded in Germany soon after 1776 by Adam Weishaupt, a professor at Ingolstadt, having close affinities with the Freemasons and seemingly organized on a Masonic plan. While briefly very popular among German rationalists, it had limited influence. The Roman Catholic Church, which Weishaupt left in his youth and rejoined before his death, condemned the Illuminati; in 1785 the Bavarian government dissolved the organization. It did not long survive. In Spain and Italy in the 15th and 16th cents. the term Illuminati, or Alumbrado, referred to persons claiming direct communion with the Holy Spirit, so asserting that outward forms of religious life are unnecessary. Their claims led to persecution by the Inquisition. Other groups using the name have included the Rosicrucians, and certain followers of Jakob Boehme and Emmanuel Swedenborg.

XFixYourBrainX: If Illuminati means persons possessing, or claiming to possess, superior enlightenment.

If this was true, specifically what would influence a person to think this of themselves?

Daddio35: Interesting thread, i think today's version of this is call the CFR and openly the EU is Consilium. I dont think they bother hiding inside freemasons these days since they own the media and most of the people have been brainwashed by it.

Un-elected beaurocrats make all the decisions whilst elected officials simply placate the masses with promises they never intend to keep. And what happenes, nothing, because nobody cares, they are all too busy with their football games, nintendo 3ds, mobile phones, and fastest car on the block. YAY we who know this are the modern illuminated!

XFixYourBrainX: Political power within a group of people. A game of control possibly. The world a game to them? Ignore them they don't exist the so called Illuminati. Fear drives people, control they have lost of the subconscious level of intellect and then certain individuals exploit this fear for control.
