Wisdom
Life is a map that is drawn by your decisions. Every day, the maze of existence presents you with hundreds of pathways and you must select a direction through your choices.
How will you spend your time? Where will you go? Who will you speak to? What will you say? Each decision leads to a different road with a different destination. The map of a life can only be followed backwards, showing the path from the end to the beginning.
Many seek a reward before they have prepared to receive it. A gambler can suddenly obtain a fortune but lose it all because he did not have the knowledge of how to save it. An artist can become an overnight superstar but find herself trapped in scandals because she did not take the time to gain experience with the pitfalls of fame.
In the busyness of life, it is easy to forget the lessons that have been learned and to lose sight of your goals. In Illuminati tradition, our members find constant guidance in the messages of our symbols. Many who have found success by following our tenets voluntarily incorporate our symbology into their artwork, architecture, and design.
By scattering our messages throughout society, members can never forget the purpose of their lives, and even the lost can be led to the truth. The Pyramid, the Eye, the Light, and the Eternal Circle that form the Illuminati's insignia serve as reminders of concepts that have guided humans for millennia.
Through the Eternal Oath, our members discover the power that hides inside their own resolutions – and by placing our signatures beneath its vows, we form a constant, physical bond between ourselves and humanity.
Wherever you are in your journey — and however dark the road may seem — know that the knowledge you have stored throughout life will be your lantern for the path ahead.
Pilots rely on the accuracy of their instruments to choose the safest route. Humans rely on the accuracy of their judgement to choose the path for their lives. Seek knowledge, wisdom, and experience to sharpen your mind's instrument so that the road to your goals will prepare you for your destination.
