If it doesn't scare you then perhaps it will make you simply THINK.



For the longest time I've written about the Illuminati with a tongue-in-cheek attitude. My attitude was that it's just too damned hard for one group of people to quietly build a secret culture of power who's soul goal it to rule the world. It's just too wacky an idea to take seriously.

That said I've read a LOT about the so-called Illuminati, most from Christian based fear mongers who seem to use the Illuminati as a tool of conversion. That has added to my skepticism.

The benefit of my studies is that I've gained a whole new way of looking into the topic of power and control.

Lately however I've been reading the works of a writer that goes by the name of ?Svali? (do a google search and you'll get a lot).

Svali describes her former life in the Illuminati as a high ranking trainer who programmed other members for secrecy until she escaped and went through a religious conversion.

What she says about the Illuminati is similar to what others write. How she differs is in her first person perspective and in the details of an Illuminati insider.

The effect it had on me was to imagine it being true and the effect on the individual who went through it. As a result I believe that the Illuminati (as Svali describes it) is absolutely possible.

What Svali describes is that all Illuminati members are from long lines of Illuminati families. No one is EVER recruited into ?the Order?. You can only be born into it thus it is a VERY closed culture.

From a cultural anthropology perspective this in not unheard of. The Romani (gypsy) maintain close and secretive family ties. There are also Mormon communities that insist you can only marry another Mormon or risk banishment. Combine this with the Illuminati belief that as a member of "the family" you are not just special but have an obligation to rule the world from behind the scenes.

Every member of these families must go through training from birth. ?Training? amounts to torture of unimaginable extremes that are intended to create alter personalities that can keep secret the goals and ambitions of the ?family?.

One of the aspects of the Illuminati that made it so unbelievable for me what the description of torture and extreme ritual abuse they would inflict on people especially young children. This was all done for the purpose of creating "alters" or different personalities withing the individual so they might better keep secrets.

It seemed so over the top that I wondered why I had never heard of it. Svali's answer is that it is an institutionalized way they treat EVERYONE in the group and it has been happening over the course of generations. It does not happen to outsiders but is a way of life for those who are born into it. Families expect their children to go through these "trainings" because they were raised going through them.

In that sense it is no different than being raised by parents who want you to live and believe as they do.

Early age trainings include witnessing a ?set up? at the age of 3 or 4. In this realistic depiction the child is told someone who tried to leave The Family was caught. The traitor is then ?killed? in front of them by burning alive or by some other very theatrical yet realistic means. The child is then told that every traitor is killed in this way. If the child is able to remain silent during the drama they are later told ?You did very well. We're proud of you.?

What changed for me was to imagine this type of activity on a cultural level. I managed to look at this as a possibility and without the judgment that would come from the shock of these revelations. For a moment I looked at it as if I were a cultural anthropologist. When I did that it seemed only natural that a culture like the Illuminati would evolve.

The Illuminati has seemed to become more real to me.

According to Svali these people make up the most powerful "old money" families in the world. And as the money is passed down so is the ritual torture and training. They are trained to have a long view of things, not the 10 year plan that the corporate world lives by, but with plans that go a hundred years into the future.

Is the Illuminati real?

I don't know.

I still have to weigh the very sketchy evidence against reason and rational thought.
