The Illuminati
THIS IS ONE OF A SERIES OF BOOKS detailing the cosmology,
philosophy, politics and religion of the ancient and controversial secret
society known as the Illuminati, of which the Greek polymath Pythagoras
was the first official Grand Master. The society exists to this day.
The Mind Sphere
What is the strangest idea in history? It’s that the mind-bogglingly vast,
“solid” universe we appear to inhabit erupted all of a sudden, billions of
years ago, out of nothing at all. If you think that’s really what happened
then you’re not thinking at all. Scientists claim that the evidence for their
materialist “Big Bang” is overwhelming. In this book, we will show that
their “evidence” is laughable. There was a Big Bang, but it was
mathematical, not materialistic. Bizarrely, given that mathematics is at the
heart of science, scientists don’t understand mathematics at all. Existence is
100% mathematical and mathematics is quintessentially mental – it’s what
mind is made of. This universe is mental, not physical. The material world
is a specific, well-defined mathematical “illusion”.
The closest analogy to the true nature of the universe is that of an
objective dream. In your subjective dreams, you can build apparently solid
worlds, which vanish each night. With an objective dream – shared by all
the minds in the universe – the apparently solid world created by the dream
does not vanish each night. It seems to be there permanently, and we soon
conclude that it is anything but a dream because it behaves very differently
from our normal dreams. Yet this is the whole point of the difference
between ephemeral, private subjective dreams and a persistent, collective
objective dream.
What are the only two things of which you can be absolutely sure? One
is yourself (the Ego), and the other is everything that’s not-yourself (the
Non-Ego; the “Other”). Your Ego consists of mental activity: thinking,
desiring, feeling, willing, sensing, intuiting. Do you have any sufficient
reason to suppose that the Non-Ego is any different? Why would you
conclude that there are not one but two other things: a) other minds (like
your own) and then b) an extremely mysterious thing called “matter”,
which is said to be composed of hard, solid, brute, inert, lifeless, mindless,
senseless atoms – of which you yourself are said to be made, and which
even allegedly give rise to your life and mind (despite the fact that they
possess neither life nor mind). Moreover, you encounter this non-mental
“matter” only via ideas, impressions and sensations in your mind! You are
expected to believe in the existence of matter even though you never have
any contact with it except mentally.
So, why bother with this strange thing called matter at all? It generates
more problems than answers. If atoms are lifeless and mindless, through
what magic do they produce life and mind? How do minds interact with
atoms? How do we use our minds to will the atoms of our arm to move? If
we are nothing but atoms obeying inescapable, inevitable, deterministic,
materialist laws then how are we capable of free will? If we are not in fact
free then how did the preposterous delusion arise (via mindless,
deterministic atoms) that we are free, and what conceivable scientific
function could such an absurd, false idea serve?
The brilliant German philosopher Leibniz proposed that there was no
such thing as matter. He envisaged a world composed solely of minds:
infinite minds. Matter, space and time were, for Leibniz, all mental
constructs of this infinite ensemble of minds.

People who have lost their sight can see again in their dreams. Each night,
they can create a vivid, realistic, new “material” world, but it exists only in
their dream, in their mind. All of us are world builders in our dreams. Yet if
we can literally dream up a material world that has no solid reality, why do
we imagine that the “actual” world we encounter is any different?
Our dreams prove that minds are capable of creating the illusion of
matter without a single trace of bona fide matter. Why should the obvious
conclusion be avoided? The “real” world is a dream world – a construct of
mental activity – with one quintessential quality that makes it radically
different from our normal dreams: it is a collective dreamscape, not
singular. All the minds in the universe contribute to this dream. It’s a
public, not a private dream. We can “wake up” from our private dreams, but
we can’t wake up from the public dream because we are not in control of it,
and nor is anyone else. We can, however, die, and then we do leave the
dream. However, reincarnation (or shall we call it “periodic re-insertion into
the collective dream”) throws us back in. Reincarnation is nothing more
than “waking up”, but in a brand new body. Not even death affords an
escape from the dream! To quote The Eagles’ famous song Hotel
California, “You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.”
There is only one exit from the dream: gnosis (enlightenment). When
you finally grasp that your existence has been one long dream, both public
and private (waking and sleeping, across many different bodies and
lifetimes), you transcend the dream. You become a Dream Master, a God.
Like Neo in The Matrix, you can then do whatever you like in the public
dream: you have “super powers” – in fact, divine powers. You can choose to
stay within the dream, but, to Gods, the normal dream rapidly loses its
attraction.
The Gods can do something else. They can construct a higher dream,
reserved for the highest minds. The Gods can build heaven, and from
heaven they can look in whenever they like on the lower dream: our world.
People imagine that they go to such a heaven when they die. They don’t.
They are reincarnated back into the normal world and they will never get
out until they have understood the true nature of reality. One might say that
there are only two public dream domains – heaven and hell – and we, sadly,
are all in hell!
Souls are not involved in a test of good versus evil, overseen by a
supreme arbiter of morality, whether it be a morally perfect “God” or some
cosmic moral force called “karma” that ensures that good deeds are
rewarded and bad deeds punished. There is no such God and no such
karma. Just about the greatest lie of existence is that it’s inherently
connected with morality. Morality per se has nothing to do with anything.
There is no such thing as morality if understood as an infallible, absolute set
of criteria of good and evil. Morality is always about opinions, beliefs,
customs, biases and self-interest. The definitive and unanswerable critique
of morality is provided by Friedrich Nietzsche in his book The Genealogy
of Morals.
Nietzsche called himself the “first immoralist” in order to demonstrate
that he was the first to see through the lie of morality. He showed that
morality is always a weapon wielded by one group against another out of
pure self-interest, hence has nothing at all to do with what morality is
supposed to be (i.e., entirely beyond self-interest).
The true test of existence is that of intelligence versus stupidity;
knowledge versus ignorance. Heaven is full of the smartest people in the
universe, not the nicest or most faithful or obedient or sanctimonious or best
at kneeling and grovelling or the best at putting on a show of meekness,
mildness and rectitude. Life is a cosmic IQ test and the only people who get
“saved” are the geniuses! Geniuses are the true Elect. The people who get
into heaven are those smart enough to build it! Simone de Beauvoir rightly
