Introduction
Furthermore, people regret when the word Illuminati is said and immediately people are given visions of secret societies, concealed meeting, and conspiracy. They still stay as a rather enigmatic bunch for the majority of the people and their presence has given birth to quite a lot of rumors and concepts. This blog post focuses on, the myths and facts about the Illuminati, while coming with it, there is the brief history of the Illuminati. In reference to the rather concealed nature of this particular subject, the veils need to be pulled back.
What is the Illuminati?
It is a name conferred on various organizations which are accused to have been in possession of some form of knowledge enlightenment at some time or the other. The earlier society of the cousins Illuminati of what is today’s northwest Germany was established in the year 1776 by Adam Weishaupt and its most important objective was to baptize enlightenment and to fight against the power that was held by the church on people. Today it is possible to meet it as designation for any underground organization regarded as controlling the processes in the world.
The following is the timeline of the American and Bavarian Illuminati:
* Foundation and Goals: It was formed by Adam Weishaupt, a professor in Ingolstadt and the intended goal of the Bavarian Illuminati was to fight superstition.
* Structure and Influence: It touched on educated people and the freedom fighter like a professional, values and progressive themes such as Gender empowerment and separation of church from the state.
* Suppression: Nevertheless, since political rivalry and acts of dissent were expected from the fraternity, the government of Bavaria
had no other option but to dissolve the Illuminati in the later part of eighteenth century.
From the above information, we have understood that the Illuminati did not come to an end; instead, the group was dissolved.
Instead, it evolved into numerous conspiracy theories that persist today: It thereby evolved into numerous conspiracy theories that are present to date:
*Control of Global Affairs: Right to this date, a segment of the followers firmly holds the belief that the society houses the Illuminati, and the latter partially or fully influences occurrence and governance.
* Symbols and Signs: I will say the Illuminati as presented in mainstream media and pop culture as people with eye of providence logo and the pyramid as implying that they pull the strings of corporate America and the money.
* Cultural Influence: It is still necessary to note that beside films and literature, forums, there are secret societies in people’s heads, and they influence people. While the allure of conspiracy theories persists, critical examination reveals several important points.
Thus, as long as there will be believing in conspiracies there are following few key critical points to overview:
*Lack of Evidence: Hence, it becomes relevant only to point out that there is no scientifically based material about the modern Illuminati as the secret society.
*Historical Context: The first Bavarian based Illuminati which existed in the seventeenth century as a group of scholars in search of enlightenment and not a megalomaniac secret society of today.
*Cultural Phenomenon: Hence we can regard the spreading of Illuminati conspiracy related ideas as a spinoff of people’s concern as to power dynamics in a population.
Namely, this research aims to explore the nature of cult pop reception among audience.
From Dan Brown novels to internet memes, the concept of the Illuminati has embedded itself deeply in popular culture: Beginning from novels of thriller genre by author Dan Brown or having become grounds for thousands of internet memes, the term Illuminati has gradually become a part of the world’s pop culture.
* Music and Entertainment: Many musicians of today and other prominent people in society, this sect is alleged to have close links with either being members of this sect through Illuminati symbols or use, these symbols in their music videos.
* Internet Memes: It can remove some if not all pretenders to the throne of the Illuminati since many people even posted fake information on the internet as a form of a joke.
* Conspiracy Communities: It should also be pointed out that Websites are directly involved in the distribution of conspiracies newsgroups and social web sites are popular to exchange about such beliefs.
Conclusion
The Illuminati is quite popular now, especially if it is considered that the story of the Illuminati is the history of the present intertwined with a legend. But the show as a phenomenon itself and Spielberg music in its original concept and idea of the show is related to the rational enlightenment paradigm, whereas many of the contemporary remakes and serials are evident with conspiratorial theories and presumptions. The conspiracy theory connected with the Illuminati may be considered a global phenomenon: some people view it as freedom of the human conscience while others assess it, the critics say that this secret society is to blame for varied processes.
Hence, one can conceive that the last lesson that the Illuminati can teach has less to do with secrets as such and far more to do with the extent of human interest in enigmatic knowledge as well as reason.
