"Are we then fallen from our dignity so low as not even to feel our chains, or to hug them, and not cherish the flattering hope of being able to break them, or to recover our liberty, not by rebellion or violence (for the time is not yet come), but by force of reason. Because a thing cannot be accomplished to-morrow, should we despair of ever being able to effect it? Abandon such short-sighted men to their own reasonings and their own conclusions; they may conclude again and again; but nature will continue to act. Inexorable to all their interested remonstrances, she proceeds, and nothing can impede her majestic course. Some events may take place contrary to our wishes; but they will all rectify of themselves; inequalities will be levelled, and a lasting calm shall succeed the tempest. The only conclusion to be drawn from all these objections is, that we are too much accustomed to the present state of things, or perhaps self-interest has too great sway over us, to let us own that it is not impossible to attain universal independence—

Let then the laughers laugh and the scoffers scoff. He that observes and compares what Nature has done with what she does at present, will soon see, that in spite of all our intrigues she tends invariably toward her object. Her proceedings are imperceptible to him who reflects but little; they are visible only to the sage whose mind's eye penetrates even to the womb of time.—From the summit of the mount he discovers in the horizon that distant country, the very existence of which is not surmised by the servile multitude of the plain."

The principal means which Weishaupt. offers to his adepts for the conquest of this land of promise, this soil of independence, are, to diminish the wants of the people, and to enlighten their minds. Hearken to his lessons, you who, heretofore protected by your laws, peaceably exercised an honourable and lucrative profession, and you who, once rivals of the flourishing commerce of Great Britain on the immensity of the ocean, are now but the sorrowful and dejected coasters of the Texel, imprudent disciples of a disorganizing Sect.—Learn, that it is in the secret hatred sworn against you by the Sect in its mysteries that you are to seek the destruction of Lyons, the pillage of Bourdeaux, the ruin of Nantes and Marseilles, the fate, in short, of so many other towns flourishing in commerce, even the fate of Amsterdam itself; and then let your aching eye glance on your trees of Equality and Liberty. At the very time when you thought that you were seconding the views of the Sect against the Nobles,

Priests, and Monarchs, only to reinstate the people in their rights of Equality and Liberty, the Sect was aiming its blows at you as the grand artificers of Despotism. At that very period your profession was already proscribed by the mysteries, as that which of all others most surely tended to retain the people in slavery; the Illuminizing Jacobin was teaching his adepts, that "he who wishes to subject nations to his yoke, need but to create wants which he alone can satisfy.—Erect the mercantile tribe (die kaufmanschaft) into an hierarchical body; that is to say, confer on it some rank or some authority in the government, and you will have created the most formidable, the most despotic of all powers. You will see it giving laws to the universe, and on it alone will rest the independence of one part of the world and the slavery of the other. For that man dictates the law who has it in his power to create or foresee, to stifle, weaken, or satisfy want. And who are better enabled to do this than merchants?" Thus we see that those men who were such ardent supporters of Jacobinism in our commercial towns, with a view to partake of the government, are precisely those whose profession the profound Jacobin chiefly detests in every form of government. May the elucidation of this mystery inspire the industrious inhabitants of hospitable Britain with new zeal for their laws! The discovery of such a snare is of too great importance to their safety, to allow me to conceal it from them.

In the next place the Hierophant proceeds from the art of diminishing wants in order to operate the independence of nations, to the duty of diffusing what he calls light. "He on the contrary (those are his words) "who wishes to render mankind free, teaches them how to refrain from the acquisition of

same instant this degree of light among all men, at least begin by enlightening yourself, and by rendering yourself better. Serve, assist, and mutually support each other; augment our numbers; render yourselves at least independent, and leave to time and posterity the care of doing the rest. When your numbers shall be augmented to a certain degree, when you shall have acquired strength by your union, hesitate no longer, but begin to render yourself powerful and formidable to the wicked (that is to say to all who will resist their plans); the very circumstance of your being sufficiently numerous to talk of force, and that you really do talk of it, that circumstance alone makes the prophane and wicked tremble—That they may not be overpowered by numbers, many will become good (like you) of themselves, and will join your party.—You will soon acquire sufficient force to bind the hands of your opponents, to subjugate them and to stifle wickedness in the embryo."

to say, as it may be understood in future, you will soon be able to stifle every principle of law, of government, of civil or political society, whose very institution in the eyes of an Illuminee is the germ of all the vices and misfortunes of human nature. "The mode of diffusing universal light, is not to proclaim it at once to the whole world, but to begin with yourself; then turn toward your next neighbour; you two can enlighten a third and fourth; let these in the same manner extend and multiply the number of the children of light, until numbers and force shall throw power into our hands." 10

I observe in the ritual of this degree, that should the Hierophant be fatigued by the length of this discourse, he may take breath, and let one of the adepts continue the instruction of the proselyte. 11 Our readers also may avail themselves of this permission, and they have copious matter for reflection in what they have hitherto read. They may perhaps be inclined to ask, to what degree the people must diminish their wants not to stand in need of laws? They will perceive that bread itself must be denied them; for as long as fields are cultivated, laws will be necessary to protect the crops and to restrain men from reaping that which they have not sown; and if on the first view the Sophism appears wicked, the reader will soon perceive that it is but folly in the garb of Sophistry.

The better to form their judgments on the lessons of the Hierophant, they will have to compare that Revolution, which is to be the effect of instruction alone, and which is insensibly to take place without the least shock or rebellion, with that period when the adepts shall have acquired numbers, force, and power, enabling them to bind the hands of their opponents, and to subjugate all who may still show any affection for their laws, or for that civil order in society which the Sect wishes to suppress.

Footnotes

484:1 Philo to Spartacus. Instructions for this degree.

484:2 Instruction for this degree.

485:3 p. 485 Ibid. Further instructions on the admission to the degree of Priest.

485:4 Ibid. Further instructions on the admission to the degree of Priest.

485:5 Original Writings, Vol. II. Part 2.

485:6 Last works of Philo and Spartacus, from Page 10 to 70, and certificates of Philo at the beginning of this degree.

485:7 I have compared the two editions of this discourse. The first gives it just as Weishaupt composed and pronounced it at his first initiations. The second has been corrected by his adept the Baron Knigge, known by the characteristic of Philo. All the difference that I could observe was, a slight refinement of the style in some parts, while prolix passages had been added in others. I remarked, that the Compiler Knigge had literally copied all the impious, seditious, and frantic lessons of the original—I have given the preference to the original. In place of adding, I shall rather retrench, and only mention the most striking passages, making such reflexions as circumstances may require. Weishaupt, according to the idiom of the German language, always addressed the Candidate in the third person plural: in this particular, we have followed Knigge's correction, as more suitable with our language.

485:8 Orig. Writ. Vol. II. Let 18, from Weishaupt to Zwack.

485:9 Darum sind wilde, and im höchsten grad aufgeklärte, vieleicht, die einzige freye menschen.

485:10 See Discourse on the lesser Mysteries of Illuminism.

485:11 This Discourse actually requires at least two hours to read it. That part from which I have made extracts extends in Vol. II. of the Original Writings, from Page 44 to 93, and in the Last works of Philo and Spartacus, (which are in much smaller print) from Page 10 to 48. I mean to abridge the remaining part still more; but shall be scrupulously exact in the translation of all remarkable passages.

If God isn’t stupid, there is no Hell; it would be redundant.

“Beware of Shysters in Altruist’s clothing.”

Don’t ever ask those with money, power, influence, and prestige to solve the world’s most pressing problems; they already have: securing and continuing their dominant control over money, power, influence, and prestige.

That the lies will not end is a fact,
If a “Truth” is put forth, they’ll redact;
That confusion is blessed,
With Hell’s fortunes confessed,
Keeps us stuck in this maze still intact.


When God the Mom and God the Dad sit for
a game of chess, and fiends and saints choose sides
to see which moves will curse or bless, their score
is tied at one to one, with love that hides

their plans, where hands of fate are charged to see
which plays will lead the clans. The game will cross
an age or more, and all moves will be free.
The give and take of pawn and knight is loss

that feeds life’s tree. This game is staged from charts
while sides choose arms and shields and wards. The rules
can change to suit the play, so too with parts
and boards. The game is played to see if fools

can bridge blind holes with peace, so those who lease
a square in time can move, when played, or cease.


Enlightenment in Kali Yuga sounds
like feasts in muck, a trade off when our lives
are crushed by Satan’s pickup truck, which grounds
us into tar and concrete, backs up, drives

again, and squeezes out all trace of heart:
our plans of mice and men. So put me back
with all the victims who’ve been torn apart
by gods and goddesses and demons; black

as Heaven’s art. I wish to stay and be
as One with those who travel here, the lost
who aren’t on Heaven’s rolls, the blind who see
with fear, my brothers and my sisters tossed

about like rag doll clothes; although they chose
not one fair plea, they’re strung up by their toes.


When ignorance is standard fare to keep
all dupes in place, it’s hard to find the tools
one needs to exit Time and Space. The heap
of lies that fosters loss and hands all fools

a choice of knowing nothing of the Truth
or failing with a voice, is just God’s means
of fencing all his children in a booth:
a playpen, with restricted walls, which cleans

all kids uncouth, with daily baths of tough
love bound like collars fixed on necks, a chore
that keeps us all in line so love’s enough
like sex, that all are fooled in thinking poor

old God is “Daddy Dear,” with realms of fear
that we abuse not knowing we’re stuck here.


If Truths crop up within the Matrix, lies
are spread like “Gold.” If flies attempt to leave
the web, they’re stung and thread wrap rolled. One tries
to get a handle on how quickly Eve

attacks, with apples, poison apples that
our Sleeping Beauty snacks upon to dream
about our heritage like Cheshire Cat
that disappears within itself to seem

not where it’s at. The question is why are
we here, who benefits from this? What deals
are made behind staged scenes that take life far
from bliss? This Gong Show is a joke that steals

all rationality, so all that’s free
stays hid within the apples from Eve’s tree.


Illusions in illusions cause no end
in all of time, where space is just time’s friend
in deed, and motion fits life’s crime, where blend
of junk in orbits fixed may help to send

us home, or foster new attachments to
God’s fools who need to roam. Confusion in
confusion makes disorder through and through,
where Babel Tower’s power makes all sin

a “Who knows who.” With all those layers trapped
in layers it’s no wonder why, we fail
to find sane answers to life’s questions wrapped
like sky, in constant motion seen through veil,

a spider web disguise, where all God’s lies
of Truth and Love make fools of those thought wise.


You come to a place down a long corridor where there are two closed doors. There are two directional signs posted on the shut doors. The one on the left door reads: “Do not enter here unless you are prepared to fix the broken world.” The one on the right door reads: “Do not enter here unless you are prepared to break the fixed world.” As you think about the two admonitions and what they might mean, you look down at your feet. Scratched in the floor from a sharp object is a note with an arrow pointing in the direction you have come from. The scratched note reads: “Run as fast as you can from this place of despair and ruin. This is your last chance.”
