Nowadays the pyramid of the Illuminati appears strange to many. This pyramid is interpreted as the striving for dominion, control and central governance. But what is really special to it is something else. It is the replacement of God by man. In this sense the Illuminati pyramid might be regarded as sinister or blasphemic, indeed.

Allegedly the Illuminati donated the pyramid on the one dollar note. This would prove that the USA was founded by the Bavarian order. More proofs for this:

Above the pyramid is written: Annuit Coeptis, “He Blesses Our Beginning”, and below it: Novus Ordo Seclorum, “New World Order” or “New Order of the Times”. A further indication is the allseeing eye in the conclusion stone - it floats above the pyramid base and thus indicates the distance from the world.

Now, these connections are obviously very vague. Conspiracy fans say this more than ever shows how scheming the plan of the pyramid is.

“We want to show you that you, your family, your hometown, your native country, even this earth, are only steps and perspectives, by which your look into the world, and the city of God.”
(Adam Weishaupt, Greater Mysteries/ “Groessere Mysterien”)

The Pyramid of the Egyptians

In the 12th century Umàra al-Yàmani wrote about the pyramids of Egypt, they are “buildings, which even time fears, while otherwise everything in the visible world fears time”.

The pyramid guarantees the immortality of the Pharaoh. These monuments for eternity were built for the eternal life as god in the human world. The most well-known pyramids of the Old Kingdom were created during the 4th dynasty. Already in the Greek antiquity these pyramids were considered as the seventh wonder of the world - as “Throne of the Sun”.

At their top the sun god Ra and the Pharaoh, the god king, were to unite. These sacred buildings were the first buildings from stone - at a time when houses, temples, and even palaces were built from clay.

The stone is the earth, the solidified lava, the basis from which everything else descends. Therefore, the pyramid was considered as center of the world, because it is the perfected form of stone, so to speak.

The Pyramid - the Holy World Order of the Middle Ages

The society of the Middle Ages had a pyramid-like structure. Farmers, craftsmen formed the basis. Aristocracy and clergy stood over them; they cared for and controlled the lower classes. At the top was the Pope as a deputy of God and above him - God. This structure was the inherent logic of Christianity and man created by God. Because man required the orientation and adjustment to the one goal: God father. It was inconceivable that someone might break out of this cosmic hierarchy.

Who was born as farmer, was farmer. Full stop. It was inconceivable, because each questioning would have disturbed the faith and the world order (gr. kósmos, the harmonious world order).

The mediator between man and God was alternativeless in his privileged position right on top of the pyramid. The Investiture Controversy shows clearly how vital the question was, “who comes after God?”. For this the power-political question was secondary. Principally everything concerns the question whether the Biblical world order and its guarantor can stand their ground or not. “There can only be one”, has never been more appropriate than in the question who is on top of the civilized world.

The Pyramid - Expression of Mystic Perfection

We also find the pyramid and hierarchy in the esoteric tradition. Especially in the Masonic tradition. The conception that a person could become something different than his birth determined almost meant heresy. Therefore, the mystic and Kabbalist developed such a complicated system as the Tree of Life.

Man is located in Malkuth, the lowest Sephira. He is infinitely far from perfection. Perfecting is equivalent with the ascent to Kether. At the bottom: the fleeting, at the top: the eternal, the transcendence.

The Pyramid of the Illuminati

The pyramid of the Illuminati (if it belonged to their symbols at all) does not promise a new order, this pyramid is the New World Order.

This pyramid still follows the tradition by using the hierarchy - which is actually neither good nor bad. But it also follows the Enlightenment: there is no mediator any more between man and God. This also shows the vision of the founding fathers of the USA. The New World Order, the new pyramid bridges the gap by which the old world broke down.
