The Order of the Illuminati is often at the center of debates about the impact of secret societies on human history. Is the Illuminati a myth or does it truly secretly rule the world? As the number of people asking that question has grown, facts about the Order have become diluted with misconceptions and disinformation, making objective research on the subject difficult. This article attempts to shed some factual light on the Order of the Illuminati by reviewing some of the most important documents on the subject.
光明會的秩序往往在關於人類歷史上秘密社團的影響成為辯論的中心。光明會是一個神話或它是否真的秘密地統治世界？由於問這個問題的人數不斷增大，關於該秩序的事實已變得被誤解和流料所稀釋，使對主題的客觀研究越加困難。本文試圖通過重審一些這主題的最重要文件，來發放一些真實的亮光在光明會的秩序。

The world “Illuminati” is thrown around rather freely to describe the elite group that is secretly running the world. Most have a general idea of the meaning of the term, but are confused about the concepts and the ideas relating to it. Is the Illuminati the same thing as Freemasonry? What are their goals? What are their beliefs? Why do they act in secret? Do they practice occultism? Attempting to objectively research the subject can become an arduous task as most sources end up being either dismissive disinformation pieces that deny (and even ridicule) anything related to the Illuminati or, at the other end of the spectrum, espouse ill-informed fear mongering based on rumors and misconceptions. In both cases, the researcher ends up with the same result: a distorted version of the truth.
“光明會”的世界被頗自由地擲來擲去，來形容秘密經營世界的精英組織。大多數人都對該字詞的含義有一個總體想法，但對概念和有關的想法被混淆了。光明會和共濟會是否同樣的事情？他們的目標是什麼？他們的信念是什麼？為什麼他們秘密行動？他們會實踐神秘主義嗎？企圖客觀地研究該主題，可以成為一項艱鉅的工作，因為多數的來源最終要么是不屑一顧的流料碎塊，否認（甚至嘲笑）有關光明會的任何事情，或要么在光譜的另一端，擁護著不靈通而建基於謠言和誤解的恐懼散播。在這兩種情況下，研究人員最終有同樣的結果：一個真相被歪曲的版本。
Considering that Secret Societies are supposed to be, by definition, secret, and that history is often rewritten by those in power, obtaining the unbiased truth about the Illuminati is a challenge. This article does not claim to “reveal” or “expose” everything that is to be known about the Illuminati; it rather attempts draw a more precise picture of the Order by citing authors who have extensively studied the subject. Whether they are, at the end of the day, critics or apologists of the Illuminati, these authors base their thoughts on credible facts. Some of the most interesting documents on the Illuminati were written by initiates of Secret Societies as they understood the philosophical and spiritual undercurrent driving the movement forward. Using these works, we will look at the origins, the methods and the impacts of the Illuminati on world history.
考慮到秘密社團應該是，根據定義，秘密的，而歷史往常是由當權者改寫，獲得沒偏頗的光明會真相是一項挑戰。本文並不聲稱“揭露”或“暴露”所知關於光明會的一切，而是援引已廣泛研究該課題的作者，試圖勾畫出一張有關秩序的更精確圖畫。 在一天的結束，無論他們是光明會的批評者或辯護士，這些作者在可信的事實上建基他們的想法。光明會一些最有趣的文件是由秘密社團的創始者所寫的，因為他們明白驅動該運動向前的哲學上和精神上的暗流。使用這些作品，我們將會看起源、方法和光明會對世界歷史的影響。

秘密社團的種類
Types of Secret Societies
Although several groups called themselves “Illuminati” in the past, the most influential and memorable of them was the Bavarian Illuminati. Founded on May 1, 1776, the organization created by Adam Weishaupt blurred the line between “spiritual” and “political” Secret Societies. By mixing the occult sciences of Freemasonry and Rosicrucianism while conspiring to achieve precise political goals, the Illuminati became an actor on the world stage. While most Secret Societies of the time catered to rich people and their fascination with occultism, the Bavarian Illuminati actively sought to profoundly change the world.
雖然在過去有幾個組織稱自己為“光明會”，但它們中最有影響力的和令人難忘的是巴伐利亞光明會。組織成立於1776年5月1日，由亞當威索創立來模糊“精神”和“政治”秘密社團之間的界線。透過混合共濟會和薔薇十字會主義的神秘科學，而同時陰謀達成精確的政治目標，光明會成為了世界舞台上的演員。儘管當時大部分的秘密社團是迎合富人和他們對神秘主義的迷戀，巴伐利亞光明會活躍地尋求深度地改變世界。
Secret Societies have existed throughout the course of history, each of them with different aims and with different roles in society. While the Egyptian mystery schools were part of the Egyptian institution, other groups were secret due to their subversive and conspiratorial aims. These two next quotes, written by two famous political figures, describe these opposing views on Secret Societies:
在整個歷史過程中秘密社團一直存在，它們每一個都有不同的目標和在社會上有不同的角色。雖然埃及的神秘學校都是埃及機構的一部分，其它的組織都是秘密的，由於他們的顛覆和陰謀目的。這下面的兩個引述，是由兩個著名的政治人物寫出，描述對這些秘密社團的反對見解：

“Did Zanoni belong to this mystical Fraternity, who, in an earlier age, boasted of secrets of which the Philosopher’s Stone was but the least; who considered themselves the heirs of all that the Chaldeans, the Magi, the Gymnosophists, and the Platonists had taught; and who differed from all the darker Sons of Magic in the virtue of their lives, the purity of their doctrines, and their insisting, as the foundation of all wisdom, on the subjugation of the sense, and the intensity of Religious Faith?”
- Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, 1884 1
“Zanoni是否屬於這神秘的聯誼會，他在較早年紀時，吹噓秘密其中魔法石是至少的；他認為他們自己是全部迦勒底人、賢士、秘密信仰的修行者的繼承人，並柏拉圖派已教導的;及他是不同於所有較暗的魔法兒子，憑藉他們的生命、他們教義的純潔性、和他們的堅持，作為一切智慧的基礎，在意識上的屈從，及宗教信仰的力度？ “
- 1884年愛德華布爾沃李頓爵士 1
“The governments of the present day have to deal not merely with other governments, with emperors, kings and ministers, but also with the secret societies which have everywhere their unscrupulous agents, and can at the last moment upset all the governments’ plans.”
- British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, 1876
“今日的政府不只要與其它國家政府、與统治者、君王和部長處理，而且亦要與秘密社團它們處處有他們的無恥的特務，及可在最後的時刻打亂所有的政府的”計劃。“
- 1876年英國首相迪斯雷利

These quotes describe different realms of influence of Secret Societies. The first one refers to the spiritual side while the second describes the political side. Not all Secret Societies dwell in the spiritual and not all of them get involved in political machinations. The Bavarian Illuminati operated in both realms.
這些引述描述了秘密社團在不同領域的影響力，第一個是指向精神方面，而第二個是描述政治層面。並非所有秘密社團存在於精神中，亦並非所有的都涉及政治陰謀，而巴伐利亞光明在兩個領域中行動。

“Spiritual brotherhoods are pledged to Wisdom and guiding humanity towards the realm of the Infinite; Political brotherhoods [are comprised] of power-seekers who cloak their manipulative agenda in darkness. (…)
“精神的兄弟被抵押了智慧和指導人類朝向無限境界；政治的兄弟[包含]權力的尋求者，他們在黑暗中掩蓋他們的操控議程。 （... ...）
All secret societies share certain fundamental themes. Membership is restricted to those who have an abiding interest in the subject. Thus, a spiritual group will attract people seeking more knowledge of a particular teacher or type of practice. The student is aware of the subject matter in advance and will approach the group for further instruction. More rarely, an individual may be “tapped” by the group because of a perceived affinity to its purpose.
所有的秘密社團分享某些基本的主題，會員僅限於那些在主體中有持久興趣的人。因此，一個精神的組織將吸引人們尋求更多某一位老師或實踐類型的知識。學生提前意識到題材和將會接近該組織為進一步的指令。更罕見地，一個個人可能會被組織“挖掘”，由於對它的目的的一種被感知的親和力。
In a political secret society, membership is restricted to those who share an ideological affinity with the goals the group represents. At the furthest end of the political spectrum, the mission will be revolution. Such a society will go to great lengths to defend itself. (…)

The Illuminati are perceived by many as spanning the chasm between the spiritual and the political secret society. Often credited (or blamed) for influencing the French Revolution in 1787, the Illuminati taught a doctrine of social and political liberation that hinged on the equality of man, the embrace of rationalism, and the denial of crown and church as the legitimate institutions for the regulation of social and moral values. (…) While the views of the Illuminati may sound quite advanced for the time, the European revolutions they are believed to have encouraged degenerated into brutal bloodbaths whose singular lack of moral compass was appalling.” 2

While some believe that Adam Weishaupt was the sole mastermind of the Illuminati and that his organization rose to glory and died in less than twelve years, most researchers initiated in occultism believe that the Bavarian Illuminati was the rare appearance of an ancient Brotherhood that could be traced back to the Knight Templars of the Middle-Ages.
雖然一些人相信，亞當威索是光明會唯一的主腦，而他的組織升上神枱並在不到12年時間死亡，大多數初步接受神秘主義知識的研究人員相信，巴伐利亞光明會是一古代兄弟會的罕見外觀，可追溯到中世紀的聖殿騎士團。
Manly P. Hall, a 33rd Degree Freemason and prolific author, described in his pamphlet “Masonic Orders of Fraternity” an “Invisible Empire” that has been silently working for centuries towards social change. It periodically became visible throughout History, through different organizations who bore different names. According to him, these groups have a great yet silent impact on society, even transforming the educational system to form future generations.
一位第33度的共濟會員和多產作家曼利體育廳，在他的小冊子“共濟會等級的兄弟關係”形容，一個“隱形帝國”已一直默默對社會變革耕耘了數世紀，在整個歷史中它週期性地變得可見，通過有不同名稱的不同組織。據他所說，這些組織對社會有大而無聲的影響，甚至改變教育制度來塑做未來數代。

“The direct descent of the essential program of the Esoteric Schools was entrusted to groups already well-conditioned for the work. The guilds, trade unions, and similar protective and benevolent Societies had been internally strengthened by the introduction of a new learning. The advancement of the plan required the enlargement of the boundaries of the philosophic overstate. A World Fraternity was needed, sustained by a deep and broad program of education according to the “method”. Such a Fraternity could not immediately include all men, but it could unite the activities of certain kinds of men, regardless of their racial or religious beliefs or the nations in which they dwelt. These were the men of “towardness”, those sons of tomorrow, whose symbol was a blazing sun rising over the mountains of the east. (…)

It was inevitable that the Orders of Fraternity should sponsor world education. (…) The program included a systematic expansion of existing institutions and the enlargement of their spheres of influence.

Slowly, the Orders of Universal Reformation faded from public attention, and in their places appeared the Orders of World Brotherhood. Everything possible was done to prevent the transitions from being obvious. Even history was falsified to make certain sequences of activity unrecognizable. The shift of emphasis never gave the impression of abruptness, and the motion appeared as a dawning of social consciousness. The most obvious clues to the secret activity have been the prevailing silence about the origin and the impossibility of filing the lacunae in the records of seventeenth- and eighteenth- century fraternal Orders. (…)

The Orders of Fraternity were attached by slender and almost invisible threads to the parent project. Like earlier Schools of the Mysteries, these Fraternities were not in themselves actual embodiments of the esoteric associations, but rather instruments to advance certain objectives of the divine plan. 3“
兄弟會的秩序是以柔弱及幾乎看不見的線程依附至父/母體項目，像早期的奧秘學校一樣，這些兄弟會本身並不是深奧協會的實際體現，而是一些工具來前進神聖計劃的某些目標。 3“

Here, Hall mentions a “silence” and lack of information regarding the workings of Secret Societies during the 17th and 18th century, the epoch during which the Bavarian Illuminati was active. It is during this time period that Secret Societies took action, causing revolutions, overthrowing Monarchical and Papal powers and taking hold of the banking system. Was the Bavarian Illuminati part of the Invisible Empire described by Hall? Is it still active today? Let’s first look at Adam Weishaupt and his infamous Secret Society.
在這裡，霍爾提及17世紀和18世紀時的一個“沉默”和缺乏資料的有關秘密社團的運作，在此期間巴伐利亞光明會是活躍的。這段時間內，秘密社團採取行動，引起革命，推翻君主和教皇權力，並握有銀行體系。巴伐利亞光明會是否霍爾所描述的隱形帝國的一部分？今天它是否仍然活躍？讓我們先來看看亞當威索和他臭名昭著的秘密社團。
