Resurrection: The Origin of a Religious Fallacy

By Adam Weishaupt

Most people who believe in resurrection have no idea what this concept entails. It's the product of Jewish Messianic theory which says that a Jewish priest-king will one day establish an earthly paradise, and all the righteous Jews who died before the establishment of "the Kingdom" will be raised from the dead to enjoy the rewards of remaining faithful to Jehovah. Since they are coming back to this earth, they need their body back.

The problem with the Messianic theory of the soul is that it is incompatible with the God theory of the soul that talks of an immaterial heaven and immaterial soul. What possible meaning could physical resurrection have in a non-physical afterlife?

This book by the Pythagorean Illuminati, the oldest secret society in the world, traces the extraordinary story of how the materialistic theory of resurrection became hopelessly confused with the Platonic theory of the immaterial soul, leading to insanely illogical religions such as Christianity.

Adam Weishaupt

Adam Weishaupt invites you to enter the forbidden world of secret societies. Are secret societies hidden because they are plotting against the world, or hidden because the powers-that-be are plotting against them and hunting them – as heretics, apostates, infidels, blasphemers, freethinkers, radicals and revolutionaries? Are secret societies the underground heroes as opposed to the subterranean villains? Are they demonized by those who want to keep you enslaved with lies and a false consciousness? Secret societies are devoted to discovering the ultimate knowledge that will liberate all of us. Join the freedom fighters, those heroically venturing into the Unknown Land to find the Holy Grail. Come and find out about the extraordinary world of secrets that presents a totally different conception of reality from the ones your overt rulers – the billionaires and their puppets – feed you. Don't you want to find out what is really going on?

Quotations

"What a theologian feels to be true must be false: this provides almost a criterion of truth." -- Nietzsche

"Christianity is a revolt of everything that crawls along the ground directed against that which is elevated." -- Nietzsche

The Christian is only a Jew of a ‘freer’ confession. -- Nietzsche

"The concept of God falsified; the concept of morality falsified – the Jewish priesthood did not stop there…with unparalleled disdain of every tradition, every historical reality, they translated their own national past into religious terms, that is to say they made of it a stupid salvation-mechanism of guilt towards Jehovah and punishment, piety towards Jehovah and reward." -- Nietzsche

The Illuminati

THIS IS ONE OF A SERIES OF BOOKS outlining the religion, politics and philosophy of the ancient and controversial secret society known as the Illuminati, of which the Greek polymath Pythagoras was the first official Grand Master. The society exists to this day and the author is a member, working under the pseudonym of Adam Weishaupt – the name of the Illuminati’s most notorious Grand Master.

The Illuminati’s religion is the most highly developed expression of Gnosticism and is called Illumination (alternatively, Illuminism). Dedicated to the pursuit of enlightenment, it has many parallels with the Eastern religions of Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism. It rejects the Abrahamic religions of faith: Judaism, Christianity and Islam, considering these the work of the Demiurge; an inferior, cruel and wicked deity who deludes himself that he is the True God, and who has inflicted endless horrors on humanity.

If you wish to judge for yourself how deranged the Demiurge is, you need only read the Old Testament, the story of the Demiurge’s involvement with his Chosen People, the Hebrews. You may wonder why the God of All entered into an exclusive and partisan Covenant with a tribe in the Middle East several thousand years ago, why he promised them a land (Canaan) that belonged to others, and why he then actively participated with them in a genocidal war against the Canaanites. Even more bizarrely, according to Christian theology, he then despatched all of those Hebrews, whom he had supported so fanatically, to Limbo – the edge of Hell – when they died. They couldn’t go to Heaven because they were indelibly marked by the Original Sin of Adam and Eve. Only the atonement provided by the agonising death of God’s son, Jesus Christ, could wipe the slate clean and allow the Hebrews to be released from Limbo. But there was a catch. Only those who accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour were eligible for Paradise.

Of course, the Chosen People of God have almost entirely rejected Jesus Christ. Therefore, from the Christian perspective, nearly all of the Chosen People are now in hell proper. Don’t you find God’s behaviour distinctly odd? Indeed, unbelievable? Don’t alarm bells start ringing? Doesn’t the behaviour of this God sound rather more like what would be expected of Satan?

Remember that this same God ordered Abraham to perform human sacrifice on his own son, Isaac. Abraham, rather than rejecting this monstrous command, rather than denouncing the creature that gave it as evil incarnate, agreed to butcher his own flesh and blood to demonstrate how slavishly and mindlessly obedient he was – the prototype of all psychopathic, fanatical believers.

Does God’s command to Abraham sound like something that would ever pass the lips of the True God? We pity you if you think it does because you are surely a creature of the Demiurge and one of the legions of the damned. If, however, you doubt the credentials of the Abrahamic God, you may be receptive to the message of the Illuminati and our future-oriented, rational, scientific, mathematical and dialectical religion of light – Illumination.

The Jewish Hell

THE ATTITUDE OF the Jews towards hell is a fascinating one and stands in stark contrast to the Christian and Islamic depictions of hell. To comprehend the Jewish view, it is necessary to go back to the ancient Greeks.

The Greeks did not have religious attitudes as any Abrahamist would understand them. The Greeks put the gods above the ground, humanity on the ground and the dead under the ground. The gods on Mount Olympus were not moral beings and did not proclaim any messages of good and evil. Rather, they were just like humans except they had superpowers and were immortal. Otherwise, their behaviour was exactly that of ordinary human, but on a grander canvas. The poet Pindar wrote, Of one race are men and gods. Born of one mother we draw our breath, though in strength are gods and men far divided.

In a sense, this underlies the message of the Illuminati that we can all become God. God is far advanced of us, but he is not different in kind.

The Greeks said that the gods consumed ambrosia and nectar, the food and drink of the gods that conferred immortality (the implication being that if they didn’t persist with this diet, they would lose their immortality, and also that humans might become immortal if they could find a supply of ambrosia and nectar). Divine blood – the blood of immortality – was known as ichor. The gods were also said to be able to breathe the purest air at the highest heights – aether.

The gods did not show much interest in ordinary people, choosing to lavish their attention on heroes, kings and each other.

When people died, they went to Hades – the Underworld – whether they were a king, a hero or a nobody, whether they were good or evil, brave or cowardly, smart of stupid. Hades was screened from the world by deep, impenetrable forests, great underground chasms and impassable rivers. One of the rivers was Lethe which, if drunk, wiped out memory.

Living people had physical bodies; those in the Underworld were what we would describe as ghosts. They looked like their old selves but were incorporeal. Nothing much happened in the Underworld and there is a suggestion that all of the ghosts were gradually fading away to complete nothingness or dissolution. On the Plain of Asphodel, they led a vague, unsubstantial life that could be better described as haunting the plain. Once the dead were in the kingdom of Hades, they had no hope of escape. Even the gods were forbidden from entering that dark realm. Hermes alone – the messenger of the gods (and the central figure of Hermeticism) – could enter and leave Hades at will.

The Greek view was that people should try to be heroes so that their deeds would live on after them, but there was no concept of any meaningful physical afterlife, and the gods offered no afterlife to any ordinary person, and rarely to any kings or heroes either.

Although the Greeks had gods, they could not be described as the divinities of any plausible religious system. They did not offer the normal consolations of religion; there was no prospect of heaven, for example. They didn’t offer divine justice. No one was rewarded for good conduct or punished for wickedness.

Gradually, Hades evolved and more conventional religious ideas started to apply. Tartarus came to be regarded as the lowest region of Hades and it was to there that the most wicked sinners were despatched (thus it was hell).
