Not really sure what to think...
I'm pretty much a novice with the whole symbolism thing, so I'm still learning. What confuses me is the "who", I guess. Illumination would
seem a good thing but, yet, the "Illuminati"(whoever they are-if they are) has been branded evil. Are they evil? I'd say those in power are evil but are they "Illuminati" or some other secret group masquerading as the "Illuminati"? I mean, the symbols are
everywhere and I don't believe they are being used with good intent.

I think the entertainment industry is being used to "program" the masses using this symbolism- not a good thing. But I keep wondering if the "Illuminati" part is a distraction. It's hard to find reliable info, y'know?
Wiki Quote from Adam Weishaupt(founder of the original Illuminati):
"At a time, however, when there was no end of making game of and abusing secret societies, I planned to make use of this human foible for a real and worthy goal, for the
benefit of people. I wished to do what the heads of the ecclesiastical and secular authorities ought to have done by virtue of their offices .."
.Weishaupt was initiated into the Masonic Lodge "Theodor zum guten Rath", at Munich in 1777.
His project of "illumination, enlightening the understanding by the sun of reason, which will dispel the clouds of superstition and of prejudice" was an unwelcome reform.[18] Soon however he had developed gnostic mysteries of his own, with the goal of
"perfecting human nature" through re-education to achieve a communal state with nature, freed of government and organized religion. He began working towards incorporating his system of Illuminism with that of Freemasonry.
I don't know but those things don't sound evil or pro-Big Brother to me. I haven't had time to really research it much, though, so I am pretty ignorant on the subject. I like to ask questions, though. Maybe the Illuminati has changed/was corrupted. Maybe it's a matter of the Evil Elitists sending "truth seekers" on a wild goose chase. It would be quite a threat to them if everyone became "illuminated".
I can point out the symbolism but still find myself saying, "What does it
mean?"
Well, anyway, I think I'm rambling again! LOL!

Let me think on this a bit and get back to it!
