The word “illuminati” is a reference to those who claim ;or wish; they had the substance which has the ability to extend human life spans, and give those who have and consume ;the essence; of gold, or immortality; and these are illuminated or glow, with a high energy state. Illumination for real is a state of physical status; not an assumed statement of a level of education. It is a glow of a human body; which allows a person to heal with a touch of the hands.

Those who have laid claim to the word “illuminati”; are want-to-be’s. Any one who really has the secret substance and has taken it, will glow in the dark; or even in the light of day, and will never claim or have an ego trip; which causes them to be a part of a gang; which as a group; are trying to claim that they are of the illuminated.

Ultimate power comes from ultimate knowledge. That is the secret of life everlasting as the church has called the effects of the elixir. The fight between the church and science; is linked to the alchemical knowledge of the elixir, as produced by the operations of the alchemical art; which is at the heart of the science of the micro-cosm and the macro-cosm.

One theory is that a small group within the church went rogue; and named themselves the illuminati, the goal being to steal and use the operations of the art to keep the essence of longevity for the select few in their group.

Another group, known as the Knights Templar; had similar ideas; and it’s reported that they dug a tunnel under and into King Solomons Temple, in an effort to locate and steal artifacts; and or texts; left hidden by Solomon; which were connected to the alchemical art; and the essence of immortality.

Whether the church; or science, is in possession of the ultimate knowledge; the person in possession of such power would always be in fear of others knowing that they were in possession of such knowledge. A person would be forced to live in isolation; or risk imprisonment or death. The glow would make it impossible to live amongst others in a society.

An alchemist is a loner; who is a loner; because of the secret which he guards and protects. Knowledge being power; should not be in the wrong hands.

The forming of secret societies; so called; is really a waste of time. Having the ultimate secret is not some-thing which anyone is going to want to share with anyone. Including their family members. Humans just can not be trusted; it’s all about power; personal dominance and control. Politics is based on personal power; and ego controls and directs actions. Dictators have enemies; it’s the nature of the animal to kill for control and power, even if it’s a family member, and immortality or longevity is the ultimate prize.
