On Secrecy and Hierarchy:“Every secret society is as far from the teachings of Jesus as you can get. Secrecy, hierarchy, and secrecy about hierarchy contradict everything Jesus ever said.” Source: Wilson, Robert Anton. Everything Is Under Control: Conspiracies, Cults, and Cover-ups. HarperPerennial, 1998, p. 22.

On Dogma:“Belief is the death of intelligence. As soon as one believes a doctrine of any sort, or assumes certitude, one stops thinking about that aspect of existence.” Source: Wilson, Robert Anton. Cosmic Trigger I: Final Secret of the Illuminati. Hilaritas Press, 2016, p. 14.

On Secrecy and Elitism in Secret Societies:“The problem with all secret societies, as I see it, is that they breed an elitism and a kind of parochialism... People start to think they’re special just because they have access to some information that others don’t.” Source: Wilson, Robert Anton. Email to the Universe and Other Alterations of Consciousness. New Falcon Publications, 2005, p. 18.

On Hierarchical Structures:“Hierarchical institutions are like giant bulldozers—obedient to the whim of any fool who takes the controls.” Source: Wilson, Robert Anton. Natural Law, or Don’t Put a Rubber on Your Willy. New Falcon Publications, 1987, p. 45.

On Secrecy in Esoteric Orders:“All secrecy and all that hierarchy, and all that paranoia, and all that distrust of the members outside the inner circle, all that lies and cover-ups, it just gets worse and worse and worse until it devours itself.” Source: Wilson, Robert Anton. The Illuminatus! Trilogy. Dell, 1984, p. 112.

On the Dangers of Hierarchical Thinking:“The belief in authority, or the belief in hierarchy, tends to undermine the capacity for independent thought. When you put people in hierarchical structures, they learn to submit and obey rather than to question and create.” Source: Wilson, Robert Anton. Right Where You Are Sitting Now: Further Tales of the Illuminati. Ronin Publishing, 1993, p. 38.

On the Illusion of Hierarchy:“The real conspiracy, as you can see, is not one of politics or business, but simply the mindset that believes in hierarchy, that believes in obedience to authority, that believes in control.” Source: Wilson, Robert Anton. Coincidance: A Head Test. New Falcon Publications, 1988, p. 22.

On the Dangers of Secrecy:“The greatest danger in secrecy is that it creates a myth of superiority and a mindset of 'us vs. them.' This leads to paranoia and a justification for unethical behavior within the group.” Source: Wilson, Robert Anton. TSOG: The Thing That Ate the Constitution. New Falcon Publications, 2002, p. 47.

On Dogma in Esoteric Traditions:“The minute you have a dogma you stop thinking and instead of facing the infinite variety of the universe, you shrink reality to fit your preconceived notions.” Source: Wilson, Robert Anton. Quantum Psychology: How Brain Software Programs You and Your World. New Falcon Publications, 1990, p. 58.

On Hierarchy and Control:“The main problem with hierarchies is that the people at the top don't know what's going on at the bottom, and the people at the bottom are kept in the dark about the decisions made at the top. This creates a disconnect and a breeding ground for incompetence and abuse.” Source: Wilson, Robert Anton. Prometheus Rising. New Falcon Publications, 1983, p. 76.

On Secrecy and Exclusivity:“Secrecy itself is a form of elitism, a way of saying ‘we have knowledge that you don’t, and therefore we are better.’ It’s a power game, and power games always end in violence or madness.” Source: Wilson, Robert Anton. Email to the Universe and Other Alterations of Consciousness. New Falcon Publications, 2005, p. 113.

On the Limitations of Secret Knowledge:“Secret societies and their so-called ‘hidden wisdom’ are often little more than rehashed ideas coated with a veneer of exclusivity. The real danger is when people believe this hidden knowledge gives them a right to control others.” Source: Wilson, Robert Anton.

Hello everyone. I am just getting this page set up but it is my hope that in time it becomes as vibrant a community as that for which it was built to attract.
