Interesting.
Supposedly, you are referring to Bavarian Illuminati, instead of just illuminated ('illuminati', a singular meaning 'enlightened')people, as the word in it's orginal meaning stands for.

If you have two eyes, you are the Illuminati.
Etc, etc, etc...

Again, assuming a lot, they just might not be interested at all what a single individual does. But whether there is illuminati or not, a good start would be playing your own game, shake the dirt of mass hypnosion upon you, and start living fully the live you want to, not that one which is imposed for you.

How can we break out of the system of control and take command of your own life where there are so many necessities that we need to rely on to maintain an advantage over others?
I have to pay for tuition for school.
First I need money to pay for school, I also need to pay for shelter, food, etc...
I can't just rely on the berries that grow in my backyard or the twigs above my hut for shelter.
What is the first step other than becoming enlightened and know I am part of a system of control?

Love?
Is that also controlled by the Illuminati? The media controls magazines and the perception of love, but in reality it is a human emotion, perhaps it is the only one we actually have a choice in.
Any arguments? I really don't want to find out more emotions are under some sort of control system.

Before everyone tries to deny they are not, I will attempt to point out why you are the Illuminati.
It occurred to me the other day that all of this finger pointing, yelling, screaming, accusing, digging up information is useless. In regards to finding out who the Illuminati are we need to look at the whole picture.
• If you pay into the system via taxes, buying goods, earning money you are the Illuminati.
• If you collect welfare, social security, pensions you are the Illuminati.
• If you belong to a political party, social group, military or organization you are the Illuminati.
• If you are part of any organized religion you are the Illuminati.
• If you get up every day and work in a system that rewards your time with money you are the Illuminati.
• If you have a bank account, credit cards, lines of credit you are the Illuminati.
• If you stop paying your bills, taxes, declare bankruptcy in defiance of the system you are the Illuminati.
• If you hire a lawyer, investigator, call the police, have the guilty party exposed on the news you are the Illuminati.
• If you are on the internet via the computer, internet connection, and own any type of technology you are the Illuminati.
• If you take a hot shower, live in a safe or even unsafe neighborhood you are the Illuminati.
• If you own any type of produce goods by industry you are the Illuminati.
And so on.
Just because the majority of individuals are not at the top reaping incomprehensible rewards and in the so called, lap of luxury, they are still members of the Illuminati. Yes, you the people that fight over the crumbs at the bottom, of this gigantic pyramid scheme, are willing indentured surfs of the Illuminati organization.
Without all of our time and efforts, or without our passiveness, the Illuminati would not exist.
What does it take for people to realize they are part of the system they complain and make accusation about daily here on ATS and elsewhere?
