Thanks again, it is a blessing reasoning with you.
According to my evaluation, what is refered to when speaking of "Illuminati" nowadays is actually more of a popular concept than an actual operating secret cabal group, so I agree with you that the concept of "Illumination" gets harshly distorted by the contextualization in mainstream, but also "alternative" media. Alone the concept of this illumination can get under- (but not over-) -stood and interpreted in many different ways, and there are countless more or less secret societies out thinking themselves to gain enlightment. Satanists, Luciferians, worshippers of Pan etc, whereby there are concepts and mechanisms working that indeed can trick them to have reached it. A common trick by Satan is that he gives you power when you do evil, but do not regret it, but embrace it. You can resist the evil, or just let it in, and then you feel free. There is a certain force you gain, you get conditioned by this, and find yourself in a vicious circle very quickly. (Thats why they sacrifice chi-ldren also, they have an incredible amount of life force, "chi", in themselves).
These mechanisms exist, and these people are conscious of it, and thus conclude that this is what God embraces; nothing bad happens to them, they only gain power, their intellects and consciousness gets elevated in a way, so they "build themselves up", they indeed grow in a way which might be alluding, and can easily be confused with enlightenment. I also believe that indeed the Most High gave us this possibility, he gives free will to every human being (to a certain extent, most is based on causality), but it is clear that this is not the way to go, and only destroying everything that is righteous and good.
Another important concept is duality, which can be seen in the whole of creation, and from which originates harmony. Thus they embrace everything, even the most evil, as it, in their interpretation, is expression of God (then: "Pan") For example when a child gets sacrificed, they see it as a neutral thing, they just observe it, having erased their natural emotions, such as empathy, and just stunningly embrace this reality`s potential. They think they have elevated themselves out of their human, emotionally-bound prison, they perceive themselves as enlightened, while they indeed would rather fit the definition of a first class egocentric psychopath (which is what they are). Duality however in my opinion should be embraced, but not forced to its extremes out of selfish motives.
Of course there are many overlappings and much more mechanisms, but these two I consider very important. When one in this boring dumbed down society gets initiated in a secret society, he doesn`t know shit, and easily falls victim to these and other concepts, without even having the chance to reason for himself the time it would actually need to overstand it as wrong, destructive, and not helpful to anybody. I think we should all learn these (and other) types of occult knowledge from a very early age on, but put in the right context. The devil can only rule fools.
These were only a few words about many who see themselves as illuminated ones, so I think the term is just to abstract as to be referred to. I thus apologize for having brought it into this reasoning. In my last post, I was referring to the ones having done so much suffering to a loved one, and it was the same type of programming interestingly as described in Fritz Springmeiers book about the ones he calls "Illuminati". Checkerboard floors, Mickey mouse, cage symbolism, all present. These ones tend to overintellectualize every aspect of Creation, to dissect and catagolize it, to compartmentalize everything, and thus sucking every bit of divine, wholistic, mythical energy out of it. They think they know the game, but in my opinion they just fail big time. They are dissatisfied, not able to just appreciate all that Jah gave us, which is just everything that is possible. They always want more and more, building technology on lies and illusion, and leading so many astray, instead of just teaching the glory of Creation and that Jah is in everybody, infinite in everybody, and to make people enjoy just every experience Jah is offering, the good and the "bad" ones. To make them aware that we are all bredren and sistren, one big family, given this wonderful place in perfect harmony, with all its marvelous possibilities.
They see life as a forced struggle, even comprehend it as an arrogance to be subjected to the Most High, they emphasize it in their ideologies, and then force it on humanity via their sociocultural systems and implementations, even thinking themselves to do good via their forced up duality, thinking themselves to be shepherds. All this is, in my opinion, the very concept of "666". What a hubris. This I mean when I am speaking of "Illuminati". It is an interesting concept, and I am grateful as I learned so much through it, but it ain`t the right way in any case, just alone because we are not free. I think every Rasta just feels this.
I also think that the "Illuminati" as a maleficient organisation exist(ed), as for example Benjamin Vaughn speaks of them in "Bankin in the pig". He claims "the Illuminati and the Rosicrucians" to have edited the King James version. As I don`t doubt neither his power of judgement nor his pureness, the only thing again to consider would be whether he refers to an actual group with this name or a similar concept as described above.
Again, thank you for reading through all this, it is highly appreciated.
For all who don`t know the song I mentioned, I`ll attach it here
And a goodie :)
