In the ancient world, stretching from Europe and north Africa, through the middle east and across to India and even China, the great secrets of the world, those concerning the ultimate Truth of existence, were in the possession of certain wandering, nomadic wise men. These men would wander the Earth and, when by chance they met one another, they would discuss their knowledge, learning from one another. Every now and then one of them might meet someone who seemed to them to have the right calibre of mind to learn this knowledge and they would teach them.
One such person was the biblical king Solomon. In the bible, Solomon is admitted to have been very wise, this word being used as an epithet to describe him, but is ultimately portrayed in a negative light, particularly in comparison to his father, king David. Solomon builds, in Jerusalem, his great temple, so revered by the Jews to this day, but ultimately he rejects Jehovah, leading to his kingdom splitting in two during the reign of his son, Rehoboam.
At some point, Solomon encountered some of these wandering wise men, who evidently recognised Solomon’s genius and decided to impart their secret knowledge unto him. So moved and affected by this knowledge was Solomon, that he rejected the violent war god of his people and attempted to found a secret society based on the knowledge he had acquired. His famous temple, supposedly built to honour Jehovah, was actually dedicated to the goddess of wisdom, Sophia, and was the centre of Solomon’s new order.
To build this temple, Solomon employed the legendary architects of Phoenicia, and their famous cedar wood, thus forming an alliance with the Phoenician king, Hiram. After Solomon’s death, his son Rehoboam failed to continue his father’s great work and the kingdom of Israel split into warring factions and the survivors of Solomon’s order fled Jerusalem and escaped to Tyre, in Phoenicia.
Unfortunately, without Solomon, the order had no agreed leadership and the order fell apart in Phoenicia and returned to what it had been before, a group of disconnected, wandering wise men, although now Phoenicia had become a kind of secret centre for them, with Tyre being an information superhighway for the secret knowledge they all possessed.
Centuries later, there was born on the island of Samos a child called Pythagoras, son of a merchant named Mnesarchus, who had been informed by the oracle at Delphi that his son would become wise beyond all other men. The wise men of Phoenicia, where Mnesarchus traded, soon took an interest in the young Pythagoras, who was showing all the signs of genius that they were interested in.
Pythagoras, while still young, was able to use his obvious genius to easily locate the wandering wise men of the world and learn all that he could from them. Eventually, Pythagoras was able to assemble all of this knowledge together and form a grand synthesis of all the knowledge in the world at that time.
Eventually Pythagoras moved to Croton in Italy and used his new synthesis of knowledge to create a new version of Solomon’s order, a secret society to preserve and expand the secret knowledge he had acquired.
Pythagoras was the first to coin the term ‘Philosopher’ to describe himself, the word meaning a lover of wisdom. The two subjects that interested him the most were mathematics and music. He believed the two were intimately related after discovering the mathematical relationship between harmonious musical notes. Notes that were closely related mathematically were the ones that went most harmoniously together. Pythagoras referred to inner circle of his order as ‘mathematikoi’, meaning teachers and the outer circles as ‘akousmatikoi’, meaning listeners.
Pythagoras taught that the entire universe was mathematical in nature and could be entirely explained using mathematics. From this assertion, Pythagoras embarked on a religious quest to fully explain the universe mathematically. His order followed and assisted him and Pythagoreanism became the world’s first and only rational religion based on reason, logic and, above all, mathematics.
Progression through the order was based on merit. The order established a political system of merit that allowed the best, most talented individuals to rise to the top, with the Grand Master being the most meritorious of all. This system was called Aristocracy by the Greeks, which meant rule by the best. This meant the most talented rather than the richest or those of the highest social class as the word Aristocracy has since come to refer to. A modern version of this system bares the name Meritocracy to avoid confusion.
After the death of Pythagoras his religious and political ideas were continued and progressed by his order who managed, unlike Solomon’s order, to maintain a rigorous system of leadership to ensure their survival. The order survived and attracted many of Greece’s greatest philosophers.
One of these philosophers was Plato. Plato, a man of clear genius, was inducted into the order and learned many of its secrets. However, Plato found it difficult to maintain the strict secrecy of the order, wishing to educate all people and, as a result, was banished from the order. Regardless, Plato continued his pursuit of knowledge and his writings contain an almost perfect account of the secret knowledge of Pythagoras. Plato’s Republic contains the best account of this, particularly in terms of the political system that Pythagoras had devised. It was the desire of the order to implant their systems of thought onto society in general, in order to further humanity on its path towards enlightenment.
After Plato, the secret knowledge continued to influence Greek thought from behind the scenes. With the gradual decline of Greek civilisation, the world saw the rise of the mighty Roman civilisation. The Romans learned everything from the Greeks as many Greek teachers would travel to Rome to educate the Romans. The Pythagorean order eventually relocated to Rome and began seeking out Romans to join their order. They realised the power that Rome was to become and hoped to spread their teachings throughout the Roman empire.
Roman politics perfectly encapsulated the problems with civilisation across the world. Society was split into the rich elite who held the power and the plebeian masses who had none. The order recruited two remarkable brothers, Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus, who both attempted to alter the political system of Rome in favour of the best and brightest citizens regardless of social class, as per the political ideals of Pythagoras. Unfortunately, the power of the elite was underestimated, and their efforts failed, resulting in the deaths of the brothers.
After this the order concentrated on Roman religion rather than politics, particularly in the form of Mithraism, a religion that contained many similar elements to Pythagoreanism. The order were well aware of the rise of Christianity in Rome, an offshoot of Judaism that threatened all of the ideals of the order, and they sought to spread their teachings in the form of Mithraism. Unfortunately, they were once again unsuccessful, the slave morality of Christianity proving to be irresistible to the ill-educated Roman masses.
Soon the situation in Rome drove the order out and they settled in Alexandria, the last intellectual hub of the ancient, pagan world. In Alexandria, a new attempt to displace the new religion of Christianity begun in the form of Neoplatonism, which was taught by the order to those outside of it, such as Plotinus, who formed it into a new religion which borrowed heavily from Plato and Pythagoras.
But Christianity spread throughout the empire and soon fanatical christians sought to eliminate all traces of pagan knowledge from the world. This culminated in the destruction of the Alexandrian centres of knowledge and the brutal murder of Hypatia, the then Grand Master of the order in Alexandria.
With the Roman empire in chaos, the order sought to move far away and eventually decided on Britain, a more isolated island far removed from the turmoil of the collapse of the empire and still awash in paganism.
Over time the wider world developed and emerged from the dark ages which the fall of the Roman Empire had ushered in. The world that developed was massively at odds with the ideals of the order, the bearers of the Secret Knowledge. The world had become a slave to the irrational ideologies of the three abrahamic faiths, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, which favoured a small elite network of powerful families who perpetually ruled the world. Only the secret order, now in Britain, possessed the relevant knowledge to set the world back on the right track. But it was not such easy going, and the struggle persists unto this day.
The original Order of Solomon had known of the danger of faith in the irrational monster Jehovah, whom Solomon’s people worshipped, and had sought to destroy it, to no avail. Later, in the time of Pythagoras, some of the secret teachings were imparted to the mystical, Celtic Druids who wandered around Europe before settling in Britain and Ireland, their presence there being one of the reason the order chose to go there too after the fall of Rome.
Eventually, the druids had become practitioners of a Celtic version of Gnosticism, which had sprung up alongside and in opposition to Christianity, viewing the Christian/Jewish God as the supreme evil of the world and the irrational faith in this god as the reason why the world was such a terrible place. The order made several attempts to create new, Gnostic religions to fight against Christianity, but each one failed. Some of these were Mithraism, Neoplatonism, Manichaeism, as well as Hermetic philosophy.
In the middle ages, the order’s presence in Britain had coincided with the events that shaped the Arthurian legends. Inspired by Celtic druidism, the order created these legends into which they encoded many of their secret teachings. King Arthur’s knights and their pursuit of the Holy Grail was a metaphor for mankind’s quest for divinity.
In the light of the Grail legends, the order made several attempts to spread Gnostic teachings around Europe, firstly with the Cathars in the south of France, and later with the Knights Templar, both of which were defeated by the might of the Catholic Church. An attempt was even made to infiltrate the Church itself with the Pythagroean order’s creation of the Jesuit order.
The Rosicrucian Order was another creation of the Pythagorean order which served as an attempt to spread the secret teachings amongst the people. Eventually, a second attempt was made in the form of Freemasonry, which was a product of the enlightenment thinking that had swept Europe, particularly in Germany, where the order had moved to.
In the mid eighteenth century, the order saw a glorious opportunity to establish a brand new nation which was to become the shining beacon of the ideals of the secret knowledge. This nation was America. America’s Declaration of Independence was a direct result of involvement by the Freemasons and the Pythagoreans themselves. Unfortunately this too failed, as admission to Freemasonry was not as heavily regulated as it should have been. As a result, Freemasonry was eventually infiltrated by members of the elite powers, who steered America away from its original ideals and turned it into the super power of the elite that it is today.
It was at this time that the Pythagorean order was first brought into public awareness by their Grand Master Adam Weishaupt. History tells us that Weishaupt founded the mysterious Order of the Illuminati in 1776. In fact, Weishaupt was merely the new Grand Master of the Pythagorean Order, who had been referring to themselves as Illuminati since the time of the Gracchus brothers in ancient Rome. Weishaupt made it public that the Illuminati wished to cast down all the religious and political powers of Europe and begin civilisation again from scratch, creating a so called New World Order based on the secret knowledge of the Illuminati. The French Revolution was the major attempt to usher in the New World Order with direct involvement from the Illuminati.
After the failure of the French Revolution, the Illuminati retreated from public awareness once again and their home nation, Germany, lost sight of its enlightenment values and became a powerhouse of the elite, causing the Illuminati to move once again, this time to Scotland.
However, the ruling powers had been made aware of the Illuminati and sought to discredit them by spreading rumours and fear that the Illuminati’s New World Order was a sinister plot by secret powers to enslave humanity. This view has been accepted by conspiracy theorists to this day, but could not be further from the Truth.
The Illuminati persist to this day in their quest to cast down the Old World Order of the rich elite families that run the world currently, and replace it with their New World Order based on the original ideals of Pythagoras and the secret knowledge he possessed.
The New World Order will be one in which every human being is given an equal chance to achieve divinity through the pursuit of ultimate knowledge, as per Gnosticism. The Order will be based on Meritocracy, on Reason, on Logic, on Knowledge, on Creativity and, most importantly, on the Mathematical nature of the universe. Once the Old World Order are cast down, the people will be free, men and women will become Gods and the world can bask in the divine light of Illumination.
95% of us are slaves. As slaves we have no chance at divinity. But neither do the 5% of masters who control us. Casting down the masters is, in fact, in their interest too, as they cannot become Gods with the world as it currently is. Cast them down, take control of the world, take control of your self. Open your mind and learn the Truth.
