    About this ebook

    The Movement is a new, meritocratic, grassroots force that seeks to topple the privileged elite.

    What is the problem with contemporary capitalism? Simple: the capitalist elite. Without them, and with a much wider and more equitable distribution of capital, capitalism could be reformed and become an authentic force for good. We call this new and improved form of capitalism "social", "public" or "meritocratic" capitalism.

    It's time to get politically engaged, to get radical, to get real, to get mad about what the elite have done to the world.

    This book contains a detailed debate concerning the issue of "basic income" - the proposed right of everyone to be given a living wage no matter their circumstances and whether they are working or not. The two contribitors to the debate are members of The Movement and are just like you. Both sides of the debate are provided. Make up your own mind as to who's right.

    This book is one of a series by the Pythagorean Illuminati.

    Adam Weishaupt

    Adam Weishaupt invites you to enter the forbidden world of secret societies. Are secret societies hidden because they are plotting against the world, or hidden because the powers-that-be are plotting against them and hunting them – as heretics, apostates, infidels, blasphemers, freethinkers, radicals and revolutionaries? Are secret societies the underground heroes as opposed to the subterranean villains? Are they demonized by those who want to keep you enslaved with lies and a false consciousness? Secret societies are devoted to discovering the ultimate knowledge that will liberate all of us. Join the freedom fighters, those heroically venturing into the Unknown Land to find the Holy Grail. Come and find out about the extraordinary world of secrets that presents a totally different conception of reality from the ones your overt rulers – the billionaires and their puppets – feed you. Don't you want to find out what is really going on?

      The Illuminati

      THIS IS ONE OF A SERIES OF BOOKS outlining the religion, politics and philosophy of the ancient and controversial secret society known as the Illuminati, of which the Greek polymath Pythagoras was the first official Grand Master. The society exists to this day and the author is a member, working under the pseudonym of Adam Weishaupt – the name of the Illuminati’s most notorious Grand Master.

      The Illuminati’s religion is the most highly developed expression of Gnosticism and is called Illumination (alternatively, Illuminism). Dedicated to the pursuit of enlightenment, it has many parallels with the Eastern religions of Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism. It rejects the Abrahamic religions of faith: Judaism, Christianity and Islam, considering these the work of the Demiurge; an inferior, cruel and wicked deity who deludes himself that he is the True God, and who has inflicted endless horrors on humanity.

      If you wish to judge for yourself how deranged the Demiurge is, you need only read the Old Testament, the story of the Demiurge’s involvement with his Chosen People, the Hebrews. You may wonder why the God of All entered into an exclusive and partisan Covenant with a tribe in the Middle East several thousand years ago, why he promised them a land (Canaan) that belonged to others, and why he then actively participated with them in a genocidal war against the Canaanites. Even more bizarrely, according to Christian theology, he then despatched all of those Hebrews, whom he had supported so fanatically, to Limbo – the edge of Hell – when they died. They couldn’t go to Heaven because they were indelibly marked by the Original Sin of Adam and Eve. Only the atonement provided by the agonising death of God’s son, Jesus Christ, could wipe the slate clean and allow the Hebrews to be released from Limbo. But there was a catch. Only those who accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour were eligible for Paradise.

      Of course, the Chosen People of God have almost entirely rejected Jesus Christ. Therefore, from the Christian perspective, nearly all of the Chosen People are now in hell proper. Don’t you find God’s behaviour distinctly odd? Indeed, unbelievable? Don’t alarm bells start ringing? Doesn’t the behaviour of this God sound rather more like what would be expected of Satan?

      Remember that this same God ordered Abraham to perform human sacrifice on his own son, Isaac. Abraham, rather than rejecting this monstrous command, rather than denouncing the creature that gave it as evil incarnate, agreed to butcher his own flesh and blood to demonstrate how slavishly and mindlessly obedient he was – the prototype of all psychopathic, fanatical believers.

      Does God’s command to Abraham sound like something that would ever pass the lips of the True God? We pity you if you think it does because you are surely a creature of the Demiurge and one of the legions of the damned. If, however, you doubt the credentials of the Abrahamic God, you may be receptive to the message of the Illuminati and our future-oriented, rational, scientific, mathematical and dialectical religion of light – Illumination.

      Introduction

      This is a book featuring the thoughts of several ordinary men and women who took part in The Movement: a consciousness-raising initiative suggested by the Illuminati. Judge their contributions for yourself. These are people just like you. They have shown what they can do. What about you? What do you have to offer?

      Alchemy

      SJ sent us the following hypothesis concerning his studies in alchemy:

      1. The goal of all authentic Religion (the word itself meaning to re-join) is to reunite one’s self with God; more specifically, with the shard of God hidden within/above/behind one’s outer self.

      2. This shard of God constitutes one’s higher self, and has been called the Holy Guardian Angel, the Genius, the Daemon, the Guiding Star and many other names.

      3. The alchemists hid their knowledge and practise of this true religion in symbol and the technical jargon of the day to avoid persecution.

      4. They divided their techniques for achieving this unification with the Higher Self into two distinct paths: the Wet and the Dry.

      It is called ‘Wet’ because it uses solvents and long incubation periods. This is opposed to the ‘Dry’ path which uses higher heats and generally no solvents.

      (http://alchymie.ca/wetpath.htm)

      The wet path used long incubation periods and a solvent (that which dissolves), which meant that a) although the Work was safer, it took much longer to complete, and b) the internal components of the lesser self were gently broken up and dissolved into a water that could easily be recombined into new forms or states.

      The dry path was usually considered more dangerous as it simply used high heat to forcefully destroy and combine internal components, at the cost of safety but in a much shorter span of time.

      The path I am detailing is the Wet Path. It involves the Mercury that alchemists across the world refer to by a variety of names: Chi, Prana, Baraka, Mana, Aether, Orgone etc. An accumulation of this substance in the Body attracts its opposite, Sulfur, or the Soul of the alchemist. Gradually that Soulfire purifies the alchemist until he can withstand the indwelling of his own soul, now fully inhabiting the body. When the Sulfur and the alchemist unite, the goal has been achieved, the disciple has become the master, the lead has been purified and made into gold; the alchemist is now ready to help others on the path.

      Franklin, Plato and the Higher Guardian Angel

      If you know how to spend less than you get, you have the philosopher’s stone. -- Benjamin Franklin

      Here, Franklin gives away several key secrets to the philosopher’s stone and alchemy in general. He speaks apparently of the acquisition of wealth; but in a higher sense his statement is the key to obtaining contact with one’s potential self, one’s guiding star.

      As a prelude, let us say that the goal of alchemy was the same as that of every other initiatory and esoteric system of teaching since time immemorial; the acquisition of the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel.

      That alchemists were ever ready to wax poetical about their lovely Mercury, which they declared was the secret and key to their Art, is abundantly clear from even the most cursory glance at their writings. We here take their meaning, or it should be said, one of their manifold meanings of that term, to refer to what in primitive societies is called Manna.

      What is Mana? This is a Polynesian word meaning the life force, associated with high social status and ritual power. It might be equated with the ever-present Quintessence, the Natural Soul, the Anima Mundi, the Chi, Prana, Baraka, Breath, Dew, or Heavenly Water. It is the Aether, and just as in the fanciful stories of Wizards and their machinations, it is and was the secret power source for everything that the Alchemists wrought. When Abraham was asked to shield his face, for it shone too brightly with the glory of God, it was this that he was manifesting. When Christ stilled the tempestuous waters, it was this which was the vehicle of his Will. The Polynesians saw it as imbuing everything. Shamans effected their healing and divination through it. It is the invisible yet very real connective tissue woven through everything.

      It is my hypothesis that the mystical Work undertaken by the Alchemists was contact and gradual unification with one’s Guiding Star, and further that this Mercury of the Wise was the primary Agent and Faculty utilized to that end.

      Therefore, we may consequently state that this world is indeed a living being endowed with a soul and intelligence ... a single visible living entity containing all other living entities, which by their nature are all related. -- Plato

      The human body utilizes this vital force just as the rest of the cosmos does, as the buffer between Intelligence and Physicality. Because of its central location, it is affected by aberrations from either end, and usually relays these conflicts from one end of the Self to the other. Trouble in the Mind often finds its way into the Body, and vice versa. Also, due to its central importance, a superabundance of it equates with better health and functioning for both Mind and Body. In was thus the focus of the Alchemists’ Work.

      To better understand Franklin’s statement, and the Quest for Unification with the Genius, it’s necessary to examine this energy from two perspectives; its production or generation, and its expenditure or utilization. Some things which produce this substance are: eating, sleeping, breathing, meaningful labor. Some things which expend this substance are: sex, injury, sickness, frivolous labor.

      Thus the subtle meaning of Franklin’s message may be interpreted as: Accrue the Mercury of the Wise by favoring input of this substance and eschewing its output and you will obtain the philosopher’s stone. Now, the philosopher’s stone was said to provide aid and succor to all three aspects of the self i.e. the body, heart (soul) and mind.

      To understand how this all relates to the quest for the Holy Guardian Angel, it is necessary to posit the Mercury of the Wise in a new light, yet still congruent with the preceding. Mapping the components of the self with the classical elements:

      Body = Earth

      Mind = Air

      Mercury = Water

      Holy Guardian Angel = Fire.

      Mind is placed in quotes because Mind was seen as simply the pattern of interference created between the Aetheric Self (Water) and the Spirit Self (Fire); thus it was, just as the element of Wind, merely a placeholder or stopgap element, not really considered as real or pertinent as the remaining three, except in its natural propensity as a sort of prismatic scaffolding or channelling rig for the upper forces.

      The Water of the Wise really does act as a sort of internal, spiritual lubricant, something which greases the wheels between upper and lower, an agent which facilitates contact and mediation. In this respect, it truly becomes the keystone of the Work, the lesser portion of which was only ever intended to cleanse, purify and ready oneself for the
