Being illuminated or having esoteric understandings deeper than the average tard is what the whole thing is about. It is not a club really, it is a level of understanding obtained after many (self) initiations showing you things (if you have eyes to see) that help you purify your thoughts and understandings of...concepts lets just say.

Illumination requires no club or group although those also exist.

To be tricked is, in itself, an initiation - we only understand clearly what "truth" is ...right after we completely understand what a lie is.

left foot first.. then..and only then...do we get it...right.

the study of opposites really, and the evolution they (can) create wink
