The Illuminist Army

"You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes." - Morpheus, The Matrix

What's the point of this choice of pills? It's about whether you want Truth or Lies. The remarkable thing is that although most people believe they would take the red pill, in fact most of them are addicted to the blue pill. They can't do without it. They are Cyphers, not Neos.

The Truth is not human. The Truth preceded humanity, and will survive humanity. It has nothing to do with humanity. The moment you try to find a Truth that's appealing to humans, and, especially, to you personally, you have admitted that you want to shape the Truth in your image, and you don't want the Truth as it is in itself, wholly independent of humans and their beliefs, opinions, tastes and feelings. The Truth doesn't come to you. You have to go to it. And you have to go as the humblest of supplicants, and the most impartial and disinterested of enquirers. You must never be partisan, eager for the Truth to have such and such a character.

There are two armies in the world: The Enlightened Army and the Endarkened Army ... the Army of Reason and the Army of Unreason, the Army of Truth and the Army of the Lie.

Which army will you join? What's your sacred cause - the single, objective Truth, or the subjective "all truths" = "all lies"?

Only one army is fighting to clear the way to the Truth ... the Illuminist Army. Everywhere, we are surrounded by the Forces of Darkness, the armies of the Lie.

Nothing is more feared than the Truth for the simple reason that the Truth isn't what people want it to be, and they can't bear it. People want the Truth to be created in their own image, serving their own agenda. The last thing they want is to have to work out what the Truth is and then accommodate its agenda, which is nothing at all to do with them.

Only the greatest heroes - the Grail Knights - can find the Truth. The Grail Knights are the vanguard of the Illuminist Army. Will you join us?
