The
idea that there exists a secret cabal of power elite whose soul purpose
is world domination has inspired untold numbers to cower in paranoia.
If they even exist, this group, often referred to as The Illuminati,
are so secretive that they can only be speculated upon. They are
rumored to be the most powerful people in the world. ased on these
rumors lets see what things these people can teach us about becoming
"enlightened".
Here is my list of the top ten things that the Illuminati do that make them better than the rest of us.
10. They start off rich and powerful.
This is number ten because it's the least important.
Having
a good foundation to start from does make things easier but if you're
smart, have a plan and be flexible, it's very likely that you can
achieve anything. Poet Rob McCuen once said "I was born a poor bastard.
All I had to go was up."
9. They build networks and trust the right people.
You
may find that with all the people in the world there are a lot of them
who are fun to hang around but few of them you can truly trust. That's
because when asked to do something important most people avoid the
responsibility or fail. The more important the responsibility the more
trusted these people need to be and the only way to do that is to test
them. Trust is earned slowly through progressive demonstrations.
Trusting
the right people doesn't mean they trust family, or friends... they
only trust the people who have proven themselves to be trustworthy.
You can be nice to almost anyone but you can trust only a few.
8. They build themselves up.
There
is no lack of self esteem within the Illuminati. They consider
themselves to be "The Enlightened Ones" and they act accordingly.
Most
people walk through life beaten down into submission groveling for the
slightest bit of respect. They never consider the possibility that if
they start to think of themselves as respected, honorable, loved and
admired that they might feel better and get more done.
7. They do what works.
If
something works they use it. If something needs to be done they put it
into action. They don't resort to dreaming, wishing or hoping. This is
unlike most people who rely on what they've always known and not looked
for something better. Worse, when something doesn't work they resort to
doing it more and harder.
They also don't resort to relying
merely upon "divine intervention". Instead they take complete
responsibility for where they are at and get to work going after what
they want.
6. They keep secrets.
If
you've ever revealed a magic secret you know how disappointing it can
be. From that point on your secret is out and people will come to you
not to be amazed at your magic but to steal your knowledge. Knowledge
is power and the Illuminati know how to keep it. So should you.
Keeping
your goals, plans and ambitions secret builds you up on the inside and
help strengthen your resolve. It also prevents the petty and envious
from sabotaging your efforts. No one can battle what they do not know.
You'll
learn to reveal your secrets to only those people who you know can help
you and reveal only as much as they will need to know.
5. They use mind control.
Yet
another reason to learn mind control. They don't rely on luck or hope.
They use everything they know that works to get what they want. That
means mind control in all it's form; hypnosis, nlp, persuasion and more.
They use mind control on others to influence, seduce and persuade (Just another reason to learn NLP and hypnosis).
They
also use mind control on themselves to keep themselves focused. This
mean keeping abreast of any self improvement program that will train
their minds as if they world class athletes.
4. They keep calm.
One
reason they can stay so calm is that they have a plan that details
exactly what to do next. There is no guess work. They also have been
trained in how to respond to chaos and confusion.
They know that a
rash and emotional reaction to anything will do nothing for them and
work against their greater goals. How many people do you know can do
that?
It's easy to assume that the Illuminati are without
emotion but in fact, they simply know what emotions help them and what
emotions don't. They are overjoyed when they know that even the
smallest step is made toward their goal. They reserve anger and fear as
a tool of control for the rest of us because they know the vast
majority have never given any thought as to how they will respond when
under stress.
The old kung fu masters are always calm and
unemotional when challenged by the young and ambitious students. They
know how to apply the least amount of effort to kick anyone's ass.
3. They save.
The
Illuminati know that to grow in money and power you can't spend it all
at once. You must save a portion of all your profits and resources and
let them grow.
What percentage of your annual income do you have in savings?
2. They invest.
The
Illuminati know that money and power have to be cultivated and grown.
This it done by investment in both time and money. Smart investing
requires a two thing that most people lack 1) a deep understanding of
the investment process and 2) patience.
The Illuminati invest in
what will make a profit: human nature. No one ever went broke when they
built a business around the seven deadly sins.
1. They plan.
The
Illuminati are working a plan that some will say is hundreds, perhaps
thousands, of years old. While the plan may change slightly based on
circumstances the end result always remains the same; world domination.
They know that this plan will not come about in one fell swoop but only
with the patient progress of time and always keeping their goal in mind.
This
is completely different from those of us who start college with one
dream or ambition only to change our major six times and graduate
waiting tables.... hardly the plan we started with.
Final Note:
The point of this tongue-in-cheek article was not to build up the self
esteem of the power elite ... they are doing quite well in that area
... but to point out that anything they can do to prosper you can do
too.
PS, if you are in the Illuminati I'd like to submit my membership application. Please contact me at your earliest convenience.
