Lots of stuff about the Illuminati theory =]

[sskylaarr]

So basically I've been reading bits and pieces about this theory and it really interested me, so I just did a bunch of research and decided to put it all out there in one big chunck for anyone else who might want to know =]


**I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT NOT ALL OF THIS WAS WRITTEN BY ME, SOME OF IT WAS TAKEN FROM OTHER THREADS & WIKAPEDIA**


Illuminati :The Illuminati refers specifically to the Bavarian Illuminati, an Enlightenment secret society. However, it often refers to a shadowy conspiratorial organization which is reputed to secretly control world affairs, usually a modern incarnation or continuation of the Bavarian Illuminati. In this conspiratorial context, Illuminati is often used in reference to a New World Order (NWO). The Illuminati, or illuminated ones, are believed to be the masterminds behind the events that will lead to a New World Order in which the world will be run by a single, fascist government, and a large portion of the human race will be eliminated

Connections:

1. The 'ORDER': All we know about the people bree is escaping from is that they are called 'The Order'. Almost all orginizations of The Illuminati are called "The Order of Something" EX: Order of the Peacock Angel and The New World Order

2. The 'CEREMONY': In The Order of the Peacock Angel, people with promise [who display special skills at birth] are educated intensely [like bree was with homeschooling] and undergo a special ceremony for the person to reach enlightenment.

3. The 'ORDER OF DENDERAH': Perhaps The Order of which everyone speaks. In this video, bree describes an aincent legend that involves treasures being found atop a pyramid. A well known Illuminati symbol is an all-seeing-eye atop a pyramid, much like the symbol found on the back of the US one dollar bill.

4. The 'WATCHER': Again, the Illuminati 'all seeing eye' symbol on their hands, and their job is to watch everyone...umm, HELLO!? "the All-seeing Eye and the unfinished pyramid in the Great Seal of the United States are an example of the Illuminati's ever-present watchful eye over Americans."

5. MYSTERIES OF MY PAST/MYSTERY MOVIES: The Illuminati's members pledged obedience to their superiors, and were divided into three main classes The third, designated the Mysteries, was subdivided into the degrees of the Lesser Mysteries (Presbyter and Regent) and those of the Greater Mysteries (Magus and Rex).

6. PURPLE MONKEY: Friendships are one of the most valuable commodities a person can have. The victim is stripped of external friendships. They may substitute interactions within their own internal world as a way to substitute for this loss. Colors in Illuminati:
"Purple: We don't have much to say to the insignificant bunch of nothings that exist in this body. We are ALWAYS in control and are basically invisible to the rest, besides blacks, and even they don't know who we are. We are superior. We are the mafia connection, the drug dealers, the politicians. We ARE superior. We got here through lots of pain, but you can't prove that to us because we don't believe it because we are too high up to experience this. WE are the Illuminated ones. We only take our orders from the council members inside."

7. HER MOTHER PUNISHING HER FOR CRYING:
Illuminati believed people should be stripped of feeling emotions, strips the victim of one of the ingredients to make and carry out moral choices. This helps explain why emotions are harnessed so completely by the programmers. When researchers have studied unemotional people, they find that their dealings with others are shallow, lifeless, and mechanical. The programmers want their programmed assassins, espionage agents, prostitutes, etc. to be mechanical. People rarely want to form friendships with unemotional persons. Of course, the parts that are created to interface with the public are programmed to be effacious, gracious, and to sparkle. But the deeper parts which influence the victim’s own internal thoughts, which the victim wisely keeps to himself, fail to connect with the outside world emotionally.

8. Finally, ALEISTER CROWLEY:
Aleister Crowley (incorporated illuminati into OTO)

(the original date of the ceremony was 10.12.06) Edward Alexander Crowley was born between 11:00pm and midnight on 12 October 1875.

Crowley was obsessed with mountain climbing. (HIKING VIDEOS!) He taught himself by 'scrambling' up Cumberland fells and Beachy Head, after which, he started spending every holiday by switching between the Alps and Bernese Oberland.[36]

Crowley claimed to use a scientific method to study what people at the time called spiritual experiences, making "The Method of Science, the Aim of Religion" the catchphrase of his magazine The Equinox. (PROVING SCIENCE WRONG / THE EQUINOX)

Within the subject of occultism Crowley wrote widely, penning commentaries on magick, the Tarot, Yoga, the Kabbalah, astrology, and numerous other subjects. (TAROT FROM CASSIEISWATCHING VIDEOS, AND ASTROLOGY - STARGIRL && ORDER OF DENDERAH)

and in case anyone missed it, during the "what did daniel and my dad talk about" video, you can see a shrine to Aleister Crowley in Bree's bedroom

if theres anything else anyone wants to add, feel free =]

Anyone on the forum who knows me knows that I'm all about the pop-culture version of the Illuminati being a major influence on the storyline. Even if the name never escapes from a characters lips (just a whisper? throw me a bone here Creators ) , there's no denying the influence.
