| illuminism beliefs: Illuminism Contra Discordianism Brother Cato, 2016-07-21 Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language. – Wittgenstein. We use language to think, to talk to each other, to write, to form beliefs, religions, philosophies, and so on. But what if we are using the wrong language? Do we have wrong thoughts because we are using the wrong language? Do we have wrong religions and philosophies for exactly the same reason? What's the right language? If we could find the right language, could we then think correctly, without error, without delusion, without fantasy? Would the right language give us the right religion, the right philosophy? Would it explain reality to us? Discordians hate Truth. The struggle between the Discordians (in all their various forms) and the Illuminati is the most important there is. The soul of humanity is at stake. The Truth itself is the prize to be won or lost. |

| illuminism beliefs: The Illuminati Jim Marrs, 2017-05-22 A deep dive into the origins, history, members, and workings of the Illuminati from a well-known and respected expert. Chilling initiations. Big banks and money manipulations. Possible links to the Rockefellers, Rothschilds, Adamses, and Bushes. Reviewing the evidence, documents, and connections, The Illuminati: The Secret Society That Hijacked the World by award-winning journalist and author Jim Marrs shines a light on the history, workings, continuing influence, and pernicious and hidden power of this secret order. Surveying experts—from those who dismiss the Illuminati as a short-lived group of little consequence to skeptics who dare question the government's accounts and pronouncements—Marrs cuts through the wild speculation and the attempts to silence critical thinkers to tell the true story of this secret cabal. Gnosticism, mystery schools, the Roshaniya, Knights Templar, assassins, Rosicrucians, Skull and Bones, Knights of Malta, whistle blowers, the revolutions in France, Russia, and America, and the structure, symbols, and theology of the Illuminati are all covered. Marrs takes a broad look at the group and their workings, investigating their origin as “The Ancient and Illuminated Seers of Bavaria,” the depiction on the United States one-dollar bill of an all-seeing eye and pyramid on the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States, and the Protocols—or procedures—for usurping national governments and gaining world domination, as well as the Illuminati symbolism found in today's international corporate logos. Wealth, power, and intrigue come together in this in-depth exposé on the Illuminati, their history, connections to influential people, and their place in modern America. The Illuminati lifts the cloaks of secrecy protecting the powerful. |
| illuminism beliefs: The Prophet of War: The Downfall of the West Joe Dixon, 2018-03-07 The West is in cataclysmic decline. Most Westerners don't realize it, just as the citizens of the Roman Empire in its last years were barely aware that their way of life was nearing its end. In the famous metaphor of the boiling frog, if you put a frog in tepid water and then slowly bring the water to the boil, the frog will fail to perceive the danger and be cooked alive. Western culture is being boiled bit by bit and no one understands what it is happening. This book is about the theories of Oswald Spengler and the theorists inspired by him about how and why cultures and civilizations come to an end, about how they lose their energy and dominance and become weak and second-rate. Above all, it's about the means to reverse the decline and to build more glorious cultures and civilizations than have ever existed before. |

| illuminism beliefs: The Dark Triad Steve Madison, The world is not ruled by wise and benevolent people. The opposite is true. Humanity is ruled by the psychopathic, the narcissistic and the Machiavellian – the malevolent Dark Triad. For humanity to progress, it needs to learn how to beat these people, how to identify them early and stop them getting to the top. The Dark Triad types are always entropic and extreme individualists (they are all-consumingly selfish and care exclusively about themselves). We need to get the Light Triad to the top – the Compassionate and Empathic (the opposite of psychopaths); the Altruistic (those who care about others, hence aren't self-obsessed like the narcissists); and the Philosopher Kings and Queens (the opposite of the Machiavellians, who are Sophists who only ever calculate what is personally advantageous to them). Plato, in the Republic, set out how to avoid the Dark Triad from ever reaching power. In his system, only the wisest were allowed to lead. No nation in history has ever implemented Plato's supremely enlightened and progressive ideas. Funny that. |
| illuminism beliefs: The Devil's Redemption : 2 Volumes Michael J. McClymond, 2018-06-05 2018 Book Award Winner, The Gospel Coalition (Academic Theology) A Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2019 Will all evil finally turn to good, or does some evil remain stubbornly opposed to God and God's goodness? Will even the devil be redeemed? Addressing a theological issue of perennial interest, this comprehensive book (in two volumes) surveys the history of Christian universalism from the second to the twenty-first century and offers an interpretation of how and why universalist belief arose. The author explores what the church has taught about universal salvation and hell and critiques universalism from a biblical, philosophical, and theological standpoint. He shows that the effort to extend grace to everyone undermines the principle of grace for anyone. |

| illuminism beliefs: Richard Dawkins: The Pope of Unreason Mike Hockney, 2014-12-19 A book attacking the ideology of Richard Dawkins is invariably assumed to be a defence of religious faith. Nothing could be further from the truth in this case. This book equates faith with insanity. Instead, it argues that we live in the hyperrational reality of ontological mathematics. We attack the scientific dogma of Dawkins and his fellow travellers for being incompatible with ontological mathematics, and, in fact, constituting a quasi-religious (hence mad) faith in empiricism, materialism, randomness and meaninglessness (nihilism), all of which are refuted by ontological mathematics, which reflects the principle of sufficient reason. Are you rational enough for the truth? Are you intelligent enough to be an ontological mathematician? Many are called, few are chosen. |

| illuminism beliefs: Fantasy and Belief Danielle Kirby, 2014-09-19 Religion and spirituality are being transformed in our late modern and secularising times. New forms of belief proliferate, often notable for not being limited to traditional systems of reference or expression. Increasingly, these new religions present worldviews which draw directly upon popular culture - or occulture - in fiction, film, art and the internet. Fantasy and Belief explores the context and implications of these types of beliefs through the example of the Otherkin community. The Otherkin are a loosely-affiliated group who believe themselves to be in some way more than just human, their non-humanity often rooted in the characters and narratives of popular fantasy and science fiction. Challenging much current sociological thinking about spirituality and consumption, Fantasy and Belief reveals how popular occulture operates to recycle, develop, and disseminate metaphysical ideas, and how the popular and the sacred are combining in new ways in today's world. |
| illuminism beliefs: The New Hate Arthur Goldwag, 2012-09-04 A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of 2012 From the author of -Isms and -Ologies and Cults, Conspiracies, and Secret Societies, here is a deeply researched, fascinating history of the role that organized hatred has played in American politics. The New Hate takes readers on a surprising, often shocking, sometimes bizarrely amusing tour through the swamps of nativism, racism, and paranoia that have long thrived on the American fringe. Arthur Goldwag shows us the parallels between the hysteria about the Illuminati that wracked the new American Republic in the 1790s and the McCarthyism that roiled the 1950s, and he discusses the similarities between the anti–New Deal forces of the 1930s and the Tea Party movement today. He traces Henry Ford’s anti-Semitism and the John Birch Society’s “Insiders” back to the notorious Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and he relates white supremacist nightmares about racial pollution to nineteenth-century fears of papal plots. Written with verve and wit, this lively history is indispensible reading for anyone who wants to understand the recent re-ascendance of extremism in American politics. |

| illuminism beliefs: The God Game Mike Hockney, 2013-09-30 What is the answer to everything? Pythagoras provided a glimpse of the answer 2,500 years ago when he declared, All things are numbers. Mathematics is literally everything. Unlike science, mathematics offers certainty and absolute knowledge. Mathematics unifies science, religion and metaphysics and is the true Grand Unified Theory of Everything. No experiment can ever contradict a mathematical truth. Mathematics is the ONLY answer to everything. Mathematics is the ONLY subject inherently about eternal, Platonic truth. The God Series, starting with The God Game, reveals the astonishing power of ontological mathematics to account for everything. Isn't it time to convert to to the world's only rational religion - Illuminism, the Pythagorean religion of mathematics that infallibly explains all things and guarantees everyone a soul that's not only eternal and indestructible but also has the capacity to make each of us a true God? Isn't it time to become Illuminated? The God Series is what God ought to have delivered to humanity rather than the Bible. Knowledge rather than faith. Truth rather than fantasy. |
| illuminism beliefs: Without the Mob, There Is No Circus David Sinclair, 2023-02-17 A UXB is an unexploded bomb. What happens when it goes off? All those who know about the Armageddon Conspiracy were aware that detonation was coming. Now it has. In this epic, we describe something of what the AC was all about, and why it had to perish. Nietzsche said, Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you. Did the AC become monstrous? It certainly attracted monsters. In the end, did it topple into the abyss? Had it stood on the verge of the abyss for too long? As the AC exits the stage and the final curtain descends, it's essential to review the show. Did it deserve a standing ovation, or to be booed off the stage? Should the audience have thrown flowers, or rotten tomatoes? What did the critics say? Does anyone care? There were all too many poison pens, all too few glittering prizes. Some things are born posthumously, and the AC now joins the list. What will its afterlife be like? As ever, AC material is controversial, so no one of a sensitive disposition should access this work. You can't say you haven't been warned. We understood that for our message to be pure, it would entail shrinking our audience to almost zero, and we have more or less achieved that. When you tell the truth, you repulse everyone who follows the lie, and that's nearly all of humanity. Humanity loves the Lie. It worships it. It will have nothing else. The Truth is of no use to it at all. So, come inside and follow the final phase of this strangest of all stories. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll be enraged, and many of you will storm off in a huff. At the end, you will either love us or hate us, and probably the latter. That's how it ought to be. What could be worse than going out with a whimper rather than a bang? Stand back, the bomb is going off. |
| illuminism beliefs: The Insanity Wars: Why People Are Crazier Than Ever Joe Dixon, 2018-04-10 We are locked in the Insanity Wars. The world is not plagued by undead zombies, but by very much alive lunatics. They don't lurch around aimlessly. They busily make fake news, they laugh at experts, they ignore anyone with qualifications, they produce alternative facts and parallel realities. Madness is their trade, and they're very good at it. Derangement is now the most profitable business in the world. If you're not demented, you're not trying hard enough. You need to get out more. Modern culture is an Insanity Generator. Social media is relentlessly magnifying hysteria, faith, mysticism and irrationalism. No one could claim that today's world is straining every sinew to promote reason, logic, critical thinking, understanding and knowledge. It's zealously doing the exact opposite. Knowledge is out, experts are out, logic is out. They're not profitable. They don't sell. There's no audience for them. |
| illuminism beliefs: Conspiracy Theories Jeffrey B. Webb, 2024-04-04 Provides a comprehensive guide to the history and current shape of conspiracy theories in American life, including the findings of research seeking to understand their origins, type, function, and widespread appeal. This all-in-one resource provides an accessible overview of conspiracy theories past and present in all their many forms. Taking an even-handed, scholarly approach, the book outlines the longer history of conspiracy theories, starting with Ancient Greece and Rome and continuing the story up to the present day, including analysis of 9/11, anti-vaccine, COVID, and QAnon theories. It surveys an array of current books and articles to try to understand why people believe in and act on outlandish and evidence-free conspiracy theories. Notably, this resource also outlines the problems created by untrue conspiracy theories in terms of their negative impact on public debate, trust in others, and efforts to nurture an informed and educated citizenry. Instead, many conspiracy claims have become sources of misinformation, cynicism, and polarization. This book will benefit anyone who seeks a pathway through our current epistemic crisis in which the lines between fact and fiction-and between truth and falsehood-have become blurred. |
| illuminism beliefs: Magic, Matter and Qualia Mike Hockney, 2014-12-19 Magic illusions are all about misdirection: making sure that the audience is looking away from what's really going on. For humanity, both religious faith and scientific materialism misdirect us away from truth and reality. Magicians claim to pull rabbits out of empty hats. The God of Abraham pulls a whole universe out of nothing whatsoever, while scientific materialism performs the greatest magic trick of all by abolishing God and pulling the entirety of existence out of its opposite – non-existence – through nothing other than a random accident, with no conceivable explanation or sufficient reason. Scientific materialism puts all magicians to shame. It manages to magic life out of lifeless atoms, and mind out of mindless atoms. That's some trick! |
| illuminism beliefs: The Illuminist Army Brother Abaris, 2016-07-21 You take the blue pill – the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill – you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. – Morpheus, The Matrix There are two armies in the world: The Enlightened Army and the Endarkened Army... the Army of Reason and the Army of Unreason, the Army of the Truth and the Army of the Lie. Which army will you join? What's your sacred cause: the single, objective Truth, or the subjective all truths = all lies? Only one army is fighting to clear the way to the Truth... the Illuminist Army. Only the greatest heroes – the Grail Knights – can find the Truth. The Grail Knights are the vanguard of the Illuminist Army. Will you be joining them at the front line in the Great War for Truth? |
| illuminism beliefs: HyperHumanity Mike Hockney, 2013-07-28 Humanity is a single biological species but has split into two different mental species labelled Mythos and Logos. The Mythos species is driven by emotional stories, not by facts, evidence or rational arguments. Even scientific materialism is a Mythos – the sensory Mythos – which asserts that rational unobservables, undetectable by the senses, simply cannot exist. The Enlightenment – the Age of Reason – was when Logos humanity came to the fore. HyperHumanity is the upgrade of Logos humanity that advocates Hyperrationalism. Old Humanity, stuck in its irrational Mythos past, will become extinct. The future is about the new human race – HyperHumanity. Do you belong to the Illuminated Ones, the Shining Ones, the Divine Ones, or are you on your knees to some story-book God, an irrational market or irrational devotion to your physical senses? HyperHumanity is not here to help Old Humanity. It is here to replace it! We are the true human race, that which seeks to claim its rightful prize – divinity. |

| illuminism beliefs: The Noosphere Mike Hockney, 2013-08-26 The Noosphere is a thinking atmosphere that has been evolving on Earth since the dawn of humanity. The internet is a physical manifestation of it: a worldwide linked network. What comes next? Does mind detach itself from bodies? Can the collective consciousness of humanity leave Earth and enter the heavens? Is the Noosphere a Soul Sphere, composed of the souls of all good people and leaving behind the evil? Imagine the Soul Sphere merging with God. Is that the ultimate destiny of higher humanity? The Noosphere will not be powered by faith, prayers or superstition. Ontological mathematics and hyperreason will be its engines. This is the story of the highest human thought, how it's leaving behind materialism and realizing the truth of existence - that we inhabit an immortal, indestructible mental Singularity outside space and time and that the illusion of materialism is produced by holography. The universe is a self-generating, intelligent, living hologram, comprised of infinite souls. |
| illuminism beliefs: The God Blunder Mike Hockney, 2013-07-28 What is the most ingenious error in the history of science, so difficult to detect that only a genius could manage it? In any collection of data, the figure most obviously correct, beyond all need of checking, is the mistake. - Finagle's Third Law (Arthur Bloch) One of the foundation stones of modern physics - the most obviously correct, beyond all need of checking and devised by one of the greatest geniuses of all - is the catastrophic blunder that is preventing scientists from unifying quantum theory and general relativity. Join us on the strangest detective case of all - finding the weapon that has murdered science. This is the ultimate whodunnit. |
| illuminism beliefs: Contra Mundum Adam Weishaupt, 2016-04-29 I'm plotting revolution against this lie that the majority has a monopoly of the truth. What are these truths that always bring the majority rallying round? Truths so elderly they are practically senile. And when a truth is as old as that, gentlemen, you can hardly tell it from a lie. – Dr Stockmann (in Henrik Ibsen's play An Enemy of the People) Contra Mundum is a handbook for all those who think there is something fundamentally wrong with the world. The ancient Gnostics claimed that the world was actually created and ruled by the Devil (the Demiurge), hence why everything is so hideous, unfair and horrific. Modern Gnostics (Illuminists) assert that the problem with the world is that it's ruled by the forces of unreason rather than reason, by Mythos rather than Logos, by silly story-based religions rather than mathematics, philosophy and science. |
| illuminism beliefs: The Scorpion and the Frog: a Natural Conspiracy William A. Borst, 2004-11-22 To deny that conspiracies exist is to deny history. While there are several chapters on traditional conspirators, from the Masons through the Bilderbergers, the book unveils the ideas that have unified conspiracies into a coherent rendition of evil. This book is an intellectual history of the City of God versus the City of Man, in the ultimate culture war. It does not take a cadre of men in some secret room to effect a unified conspiracy. Like the scorpion in the fable, their ideas become second nature to liberals, socialists, or communists and they act in accordance with their nature. |

| illuminism beliefs: Scientific and Religious Belief P. Weingartner, 2012-12-06 This book provides new insights into the interrelation between scientific and religious belief. The chapters cover important features of belief in general and discuss distinctive properties between belief, knowledge and acceptance. These properties are considered in relation and comparison to religious belief. Among the contributions are topics such as: the change of scientific belief in relation to the change of our information. Is belief value-free? What are rational reasons (for the justification) of religious hypotheses? What are the important similarities and differences between scientific and religious belief? The different features and aspects are discussed in respect to the great religions of mankind. In addition to the research papers the book contains selections of the discussion which help to clarify interesting details. The book will be of interest to a vast readership among philosophers, theologians and people interested in philosophical questions concerning religion. |
| illuminism beliefs: The Citizen Army Brother Spartacus, 2016-04-30 The Citizen Army is a collection of contributions by members of the online Illuminist community who were brave enough to take part in Project Spartacus. Their work is accompanied by an extensive commentary by the AC/GS team. This book shows that the online Illuminist community has enough talent and energy to form the vanguard of a genuine Citizen Army to carry forward the great cause of bringing about a Second and Final meritocratic Enlightenment, a true Age of Reason, based on the Principle of Sufficient Reason, expressed through ontological mathematics. |
| illuminism beliefs: Sovereignty in the 21st Century Carl Raschke, 2024-08-22 When God is “dead” and governments themselves are increasingly subject to the power of global corporations, massive movements of peoples, transnational political upheavals, and ecological disasters, what does sovereignty mean for the 21st century? Sovereignty in the 21st Century is Carl Raschke's deep theoretical dive into the meaning of sovereignty in both its historical and contemporary settings, showing how the idea can be expanded beyond politics and offer emancipatory strategies for previously marginalized peoples. Picking up Carl Schmitt's idea of sovereignty's 'divine' associations making it an implicitly theological concern, Raschke explains how political and religious thought have always been intertwined. These intertwined strands find their relevance today in debates around class, race and domination, making the question of sovereignty not just a political but a social and economic one. Bringing to light the ways in which great transnational conflicts today are not between authoritarianism and democracy but between neoliberalism and populism, this book brings us closer to a profound understanding of what we truly mean by democracy, or 'popular' sovereignty in the 21st-century. |
| illuminism beliefs: McIntire Gladys Titzck Rhoads, Nancy Titzck Anderson, 2012 No one embodied American fundamentalism more fully - its militancy, its separatism, its insistence on doctrinal precision - than Carl McIntire. Add to that his puckish humor and his inventive knack for publicity and you have one of the most riveting figures in all of American religious history. Randall Balmer, Barnard College, Columbia University I shall never forget his prayers - to me it was as if we were lifted into the presence of God. When he read Scripture, it was almost to have the Bible explain itself, interpret itself. He read it in such a way that its meaning unfolded to your understanding. I once saw a movie of a flower opening by slow motion photography. The petals of the flower opened right before your eyes. When Dr. McIntire preached, it was like that. The meaning of the passage blossomed before your eyes. You understood what the Bible was saying; you loved what it was saying. When he preached, the clock lost its hands. He preached with passion, with power, with love and reverence for the Scripture, he preached with clarity.... It was as if his lips had been touched with a coal of fire off the altar. Rev. Robert Anderson, who served for 38 years as pastor of the Tacoma Bible Presbyterian Church CARL McINTIRE led the 20th Century Reformation Movement in defense of the historic Christian faith and freedom. He was best known for his radio program, the 20th Century Reformation Hour; his battle against the Fairness Doctrine of the Federal Communications Commission; his newspaper, the Christian Beacon; his Bible conferences in Cape May, NJ, and Cape Canaveral, FL; for preserving The Independent Board for Presbyterian Foreign Missions; his presidency of the International Council of Christian Churches for over 50 years; his pastorate of the Bible Presbyterian Church of Collingswood, NJ, for 65 years; and for his lifelong work of alerting the American people to the dangers of Communism and false religion in the churches and of compromise among Bible believers. |
| illuminism beliefs: Holenmerism and Nullibism Dr. Thomas Stark, How do you put mind into science? You have to use two concepts called holenmerism and nullibism. These are very old ideas, familiar to philosophers for many hundreds of years. Yet science knows nothing about them. They have dropped off the intellectual radar even though they are the answer to existence. If you want to understand existence, you will have to learn what these two concepts mean. This book will provide you with everything you need to transform how you think about the world around you. You will discover that ideas that were mainstream until the rise of scientific empiricism and materialism a few hundred years ago were right all along, and were describing none other than ontological holography. |
| illuminism beliefs: All the Rest Is Propaganda Mike Hockney, 2014-09-12 The world is always forcing its propaganda on you. Everyone is selling you something. At the least, they're selling you their story, their version of events, their view of the world, the way they want things to be. You're at it too. Facebook and Twitter are not social networking platforms. They're personal propaganda vehicles, which is why people lavish so much time on them. They're cyber self-portraits, and people will endlessly keep airbrushing them. What's the secret of making money? Pander to people's narcissism. Make it all about them - their favourite subject. We're saturated with propaganda. The media and advertising industries have no other function than to mass produce propaganda. Where is the truth? What and whom can you trust? What propaganda techniques should you be looking out for? How can you protect yourself? This is the gospel of anti-propaganda, the exposé of all the propagandists out to get you. |
| illuminism beliefs: The Mathmos Mike Hockney, 2014-09-12 The universe is nothing like how it appears to us. So, what's it really like? What is it in itself? Neither our senses nor any experiments can reveal the ultimate truth of existence. Fortunately, one thing can: reason. We inhabit the Mathmos: the mathematical cosmos. This book reveals the compelling secrets of the hidden reality that we will never once see, but we can surely know - thanks to mathematics. Do we live in a rational universe or a random universe? This is the choice between a mathematical universe and a scientific universe. The mathematical universe has a rational ultimate answer, the scientific universe does not. The scientific universe is magicked out of non-existence, as if out of a magician's top hat. Are you a member of the magicians' cult of science? Nothing is more alchemical than modern science. You can generate a cosmos out of randomness in nothingness, which is a much greater trick than merely manufacturing gold from lead. |

| illuminism beliefs: Culture, Personality, and the Psychology of Religion Gerard Saucier, 2022-06-27 Culture and personality are deeply related. Gerard Saucier articulates their interface, and new insights regarding the psychology of religion and spirituality. Rather than making assumptions of cultural homogeneity that promote stereotyping, Gerard Saucier applies a distributive model of culture which assumes heterogeneity, linking the otherwise separate compartments of culture and personality. Personality variation maps cultural non-uniformity, but variation in mindset (attitudes, beliefs, values) does so more directly. Studies of isms concepts embedded in natural language demonstrate that matters of religion and spirituality make up a substantial fraction of culture-relevant mindset, and empirical evidence shows these have a large effect-size contribution to cultural differences between nations around the globe. This book will be of much interest to specialists and (post-graduate) graduate students interested in culture, personality, and religion or spirituality. |
