I will defer my response to the response I gave to LucidDreamer85.

But if there are secrets, such as the three truths that Maban refers to and that could influence humanity I think we will never be ready and
that some things are better out than in.

Granted that this dissemination of information does not cause more problems than it solves.

It seems to me, that whatever threat Maban is implying is caused more by the keeping of that secret than by the secret itself.

Not quite. The secret itself would wreak great havoc an an ill prepared humanity. The keeping of it only wreaks great havoc on us Illuminons, thus the
difference. It is not our part to disseminate the secrets, that is the judgment and right of the Enlightened Ones. We ere only given these three
truths to better understand their efforts, and our part in helping humanity. They are a guide for us, that is all. For the NIA it is seen as a threat.
Not a threat of what we mean to do. but a threat to what they mean to do. They see it as the only true source of challenge to their control.

What you perhaps should note is that, Maban's people are willing to kill and be killed because of that secret...can you really think of any
secret that is more valuable than life?

Yes. There are secrets which can protect many lives. The sacrifice of one willing life, ours, is a sacrifice worth making to protect these secrets.
Secrets which protect life.

He also believes that we should sacrifice some of our freedoms to protect those secrets, that are too important for him to share with little
ol'us.

When did I say this? I do not want any of humanity to give up any freedoms, never, ever! Illuminons give up freedoms of their own will, to do their
duty, to protect humanity.

I am quite happy to support a cause but only when I know exactly what it is I'm supporting.

As I said support is welcomed, however it is not what we seek. We seek understanding. Understanding of what our goal is, that is truly all. The rest,
is simply may attempt at helping the rest grasp understanding.

I don't even think that Maban knows what those secrets are. So why should we think that he knows anything else at all?

That is an assumption, is it not? You know the saying. I do indeed know all these secrets it is the one of the first things we are told as an
Illuminon Inductee. I will send a U2U which hopefully will better explain my position.
