After the Jews and Muslims had fleeced, slaved, and harassed white Europeans in Spain and other parts of Europe and forced the Jiyza tax on them, the white Europeans fought back and started to kick out the Muslims and Jews. When Jews didn’t leave, they were forced to convert to Christianity. They became known as the Marano Jews.
They formed their own secret societies after their Templar group failed to recapture and rebuild Jerusalem, they established a banking system infrastructure and came back into power through many secret societies they created. One of them may have been the Los Alumbrados which was a precursor to Adam Weishaupt’s Illuminati. This group appears to have been Gnostic in nature and that would mean they considered Cronus to be the DemiUrge.
Per Wikipedia:
The alumbrados (Spanish pronunciation: [alumˈbɾaðos], Illuminated) was a term used to loosely describe practitioners of a mystical form of Christianity in Spain during the 15th-16th centuries. Some alumbrados were only mildly heterodox, but others held views that were clearly heretical. Consequently, they were firmly repressed and became some of the early victims of the Spanish Inquisition.The alumbrados held that the human soul can reach such a degree of perfection that it can even in the present life contemplate the essence of God and comprehend the mystery of the Trinity. All external worship, they declared, is superfluous, the reception of thesacraments useless, and sin impossible in this state of complete union with God. Persons in this state of impeccability could indulge their sexual desires and commit other sinful acts freely without staining their souls.[2]In 1525, the Inquisition issued an Edict on the alumbrados in which the Inquisitor General, Alonso Manrique de Lara, explained how the new heresy of alumbradismo was discovered and investigated. The text then gave a numbered list of forty-eight heretical propositions which had emerged from the trials of the alumbrados’ first leaders, Isabella de la Cruz and Pedro Ruiz d Alcaraz. After each proposition were given the grounds on which it was judged heretical. Among the odder of these propositions are that it is a mortal sin to read a book to console one’s soul (No. 31), which the Inquisition’stheologians described as “crazy, erroneous, and even heretical”; and that one sinned mortally every time one loved a son, daughter, or other person, and did not love that person through God (No. 36), which the theologians said was “erroneous and false, and against the common teaching of the saints”. One alumbrado, seeing a girl cross the street, said that “she had sinned, because in that action she had fulfilled her will” (No. 40). The theologians commented: “The foundation of this proposition is heretical, because it seems to state that all action that proceeds from our will is sin.”[3]Illuminés of France
The movement (under the name of Illuminés) seems to have reached France from Seville in 1623, and attained some following in Picardy when joined (1634) by Pierce Guerin, curé of Saint-Georges de Roye, whose followers, known as Guerinets, were suppressed in 1635.A century later, another, more obscure body of Illuminés came to light in the south of France in 1722, and appears to have lingered till 1794, having affinities with those known contemporaneously in the United Kingdom as ‘French Prophets’, an offshoot of the Camisards.
So there you have it. The movement was called Illumines in France. To a certain degree, they did have a secret knowledge that was truthful…Cronus was insane when he instituted human sacrifice of children and his wife, later established his son, Zeus (known as Sabazious) as king of the world. The seventh heaven is where Uranus (the planet) is said to reside and his wife was Gaia (the mother of the DemiUrge- Cronus). Gaia established Cronus to be the king after he killed his father, Uranus.
My advice is don’t get your “undies in a bundy” about the word, “Illuminati”, but rather dig into the origin of all Abrahamic religions. Understand that a Gnostic can either be completely ascetic or completely indulged in carnal behavior including excessive sexuality. It is their philosophy and it appears they do follow Lucifer who is Prometheus-Set. The all-seeing eye may be the eye of Cronus, the eye of Zeus, the eye of Dionysus, or the Eye of Prometheus or may just simply be a part of their Kabbalah-Qlippoth system of duality.
