Mystery About Illuminates- Part Two
As already stated, it is a fact that the Order of the Illuminati founded by Adam Weishaupt, born in 1748 in Ingolstadt in the independent state of Bavaria. He came from a Jewish family that had accepted Christianity.
Accordingly, Weishaupt was given to the care to the Jesuits, who educated him. During his childhood, he studied Czech and Italian, and later Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Although the Jesuits laid their hopes on him because of his talent in languages and science, he rebelled against them and became a professor of natural and canon law at the University of Ingolstadt. Around 1768, Weishaupt began to collect large amounts of documents with which he intended to found his own academy for educated men.
He read every ancient text and article he could find. Particularly interested in the occult and fascinated by the Pyramid of Giza (which would later become the symbol of his Order). It is believed that Rothschild family hired him to help in the plans of world domination. Weishaupt is henceforth devoted to plans of 'total transformation' of the human race and creation of a new world order.
First of May 1776, he founded the Order of the Illuminati. The name is taken from the translated name of the old Spanish cult “Alumbrados”, whose members are believed to receive knowledge from that world. Illuminatus means “enlightened”, the one who rules by reason, exempt from the darkness in which people holding organized religion. Some associate Illuminati with the name of Lucifer, whose name means "bearer of light”. It is speculated that Weishaupt did not choose the date of May 1 without any reason, but that it symbolically represents the continuation of the persecution of Christians that ended on that date of abdication of the Roman emperor Diocletian.
Even the name of the founder has a symbolic meaning: literally translated, means Adam 'the first man', while Weishaupt means' wise head. He gathered approximately 2,000 paid followers and he promised them a world power. These were members of the intellectual elite, covering various fields of literature, science and economics. Weishaupt has invested a lot of effort in order to get the best possible candidates for his own purpose.
For example, all talented students received scholarships for such training. The main objective of the Illuminati was the abolition of the monarchy (and any other form of traditional authority), private ownership, patriotism, the institutions of marriage and all religions.
