I was thinking recently about the various symbols that the Illuminati allegedly employ, and how relatively ignorant I am of many of them. I am familiar of course with the 'all-seeing eye', as most everyone else here is, but in regards to the rest of their symbolism, I am not well versed in the different forms and meanings behind them.
Then it occurred to me; that's a good thing.
They say knowledge is power, but in this case what kind of power is it? Power for whom?
I would suggest that to study and understand all of the different symbols they use, is exactly what the Illuminati wants. That is simply because, upon seeing one of their symbols with foreknowledge of its intended meaning/purpose, that meaning or purpose is brought to the surface of your mind and your heart. In other words, a directed response.
You afford energy/emotion to this pairing of an image and underlying concept/intent.
If you disagree with that premise, let's look at the other side of the coin. What purpose does an intimate understanding of Illuminati symbolism serve? What advantage does it convey? You can possibly argue that to understand them, one becomes able to 'listen in' to their secret, implicit conversations, but to what end? The MSM, along with the public at large, does not recognize them. Therefore, this is an insufficient means of bringing them and/or their plans into the light of day. If the Illuminati exists with the sort of pervasiveness and influence with which they are often attributed, then there is really little to nothing to be gained by understanding their encoded messages.
In conclusion, this may be one of the few areas in which knowledge does not empower the individual receiving it, but others who have established it. Hiding things in plain sight makes all the more sense in this context, and the alternative conveys so little in the way of benefits, that it is ultimately the safer path to take if one does not wish to give away their power.
Not to be construed as an attack on those who do study these things, mind you. Just 'food for thought'.
