Thank you for your specific and detailed question, I appreciate them greatly.
Buddhist mentalities have been a part of the Icelandic Shard, and its Shards from approximately five years after it's formulation. Most people
generally subscribe to the following ideologies, however they do inevitably vary from person to person, but more or less all personal lives are led by
by these codes. These "codes" are the, Middle Way overall, and beneath them the "Eightfold Path" and the "Five Precepts." We do not prescribe to
the "Eight Precepts," because the final three are inconsequential in our views. Not all of us fully prescribe to "Nirvana," few fully do, or
reincarnation for that matter of fact (I will reiterate many Illuminons are scientists after all). However, Enlightenment is fully excepted, although
in many... "points of View." Some view Enlightenment as a spiritual understanding, a sphere of humanitarian influence encompassing all whom need,
and ask for one's help. Others view it as a type of intellectual understanding, a unlocking of the universes secrets, and in the process learning
something about ourselves, and one's self. Many of us (like I) subscribe the a middle way (excuse the pun if you will), a type of balance between the
the two mindsets; a balance of intellectual and spiritual understanding. We unlike many other Illuminati Remnants work for the most part, in a unified
state of mind and purpose; utilizing these "teachings" as guidelines of conduct, persuasion implementation, and general life guidelines. The most
important of our Buddhist ideologies is that of the "Four Noble Truths."
1) Life is suffering by nature...
2) Suffering is from the human source (i.e. materialism, greed, lust, etc...)...
3)Suffering can be alleviated...
4) The path to Enlightenment is helping yourself and others alleviate the cause of suffering.
We recognize that in this global society built around wealth, power, and privilege that the very things by which the world is controlled and
subscribes to, causes suffering. Our task is utilizing these very poisons against the beast, by weaning it off of them. A movement to help bring about
changes which promote selflessness, and heightened self awareness. We recently have put a great deal of pressure on the environmental issues, the "go
green" ideologies to help people say no to excessive consumption of products. Hoping that these initial stages of conservation and smart efficient
spending are better in the long run. We recognize weening people (especially Americans) off material wealth could never virtually occur over night. So
we work slowly and tirelessly to pressure existing and newly created movements towards an effort of guiding others towards a better lifestyle; in our
beliefs/projections the result will be better lives and a more aware consciousness. In effect helping people lead better lives and casting down those
whom vie for power, lust, wealth, and privilege. One of our goals is to "blur" the dividing lines within the world, to better allow the global
populous to intertwine. Our long held notion is if enough ethnic mixing, and cultural blending occurs, it will be eventually virtually impossible to
either: differentiate one "ethnicity" from another, and to wage war against one country, when they prescribe to virtually identical mindsets.
To answer all questions with one post, i have previously, and referenced in this very post how we do indeed operate. We operate by being the
"advisers," and "councilors"behind the scenes. However we do have a great deal of prominent businessmen, scientists, critical thinkers, and many
others in high visibility positions. This has a twofold purpose, the power they wield allows us to exert tremendous force upon a "movement" (or
against it) when absolutely necessary to ensure it's success, or defeat.
