Mystery

My story is entitled A meeting of a Secret society in the world including other countries. A society is said to be a secret society where a club or an organization whose activities, events inner functioning or membership are concealed from non-members. The secret society may or may not attempt to conceal its own existence. This term secret society usually excludes covert groups such as intelligence agencies or some sort of guerilla warfare insurgencies. In the United States of America it can be noted that there are secret Society buildings at Yale College. Secret societies are disputed which rely on the degree to which the organization insists on secrecy and it involves the transmission of secret knowledge the denial about membership or knowledge of the group the creation of personal bonds between the members of the organization and the use of secret societies or rituals which solidify members of the group. The secret society is an all-made " warrior -band " or warrior society of pre-modern cultures . The purported family tree of secret societies had been holding regular meetings. Also Author of International Encyclopedia of Secret society defines a secret society as an organization that is a) Exclusive. b)Claims to own special secrets. c) Shows a strong inclination to favour it's members. There are elite Secret societies composed of high income or socially influential people and notes that secret societies have a frequent universal tendency towards factionalism , infighting and claiming origins older than can be reliably documented. David V. Barret ,Author of Secret societies defines it as any group that possess the following characteristics. a) Secret societies are carefully graded with progressed teachings. b) Secret society Teachings are available only to be selected by individuals. c) Also Secret society teachings lead to hidden and unique truths. d) Again Secret society truths bring personal benefits beyond the reach and even the understanding of the uninitiated. Barret also made a comment that a further characteristics common to most of these Secret societies is the practice of rituals which non-members are not permitted to observe. According to History ,Jasper Ridley argues that Freemansory is noted as the world's most powerful secret society. Also due to Propaganda,most secret societies have some sort of political aims, which are termed illegal in several countries. Some countries including Italy and Poland are countries that ban the secret political parties and other political organizations in their constitutions. However in North America ,a land of opportunity and plenty there are Collegiate Secret societies. Also many secret societies established on University campuses in the United States of America have been noted as secret societies. Among one of the most famous secret collegiate societies is the Skull and Bones at Yale University. There have been influence of undergraduate secret societies at Colleges such as Harvard College ,Cornell University , Dartmouth College , University of Chicago , University of Virginia , Georgetown University ,New York University and Wellesley College have been publicly acknowledged. In addition, British Universities have a long history of secret societies or quasi secret societies such as The Pitt Club at Cambridge University ,Bullingdon Club, at Oxford University. Also another British Secret society is the Cambridge Apostles that do hold regular meetings every month founded as an Essay and Debating society in the year 1820. In France there is a secret society called Vandermonde that hold meetings regularly. Also in Canada there are secret societies such as Episkopon and the Society of Thoth. Secret societies are disallowed in a few Colleges and not allowed to join a secret society and have been banned at Oberlin College. There are also confraternities in Nigeria termed mostly as secret societies like student groups within higher education. The only secret society abolished and then legalized is termed as Philomaths, which is now a legitimate Academic Association founded on a Strict selection of its members. Also internet based secret societies became known to the Public in the year 2012 when the secret society known as Cicada 3301 began recruiting from the public via internet based puzzles. Again ,many Christian Churches forbid their members from joining secret societies. The Christian Eye of Providence shown on the great deal of USA later of a symbol of Freemansory. It is inconsistent with our duties to God to hold such relations with secret societies. The German thinker ,Adam Weishaupt was the man who discovered the secret society ,the Illuminati where he was noted to threaten the fabric of society. Also the Freemasons , like many Secret societies held initiation ceremonies. Also secret papers seized by the Bavarian authorities revealed fascinating details during meetings about the rituals of the Illuminati. The Illuminati which was a secret society of the German thinker, Adam Weishaupt revealed some fascinating details about the rituals of the Illuminati. Also before meeting in a secret society a novice is prepared to pass to the higher level of minerval to present a detailed report of the titles of enemies and the weak points of his character. Again upon the initiation as a minerval ,he is promised to sacrifice all personal interests to the society at large. Also other members liked and preferred secret societies because they believe that Secrets are better than telling the embarrassing truth. Most Secret Societies in America and Britain do serve happy meals of burgers and fries especially during Meetings, they give wealth and power freely. The German thinker ,Adam Weishaupt became absorbed in book dealing with such esoteric themes as the Mysteries of the Seven Sage of Memphis and Kabbala and founded the secret society of the Illuminati. The secret society Illuminati consists of the three main levels which includes Novices, Minervals, and Illuminated Minervals. Minerval. is referred to the Roman goddess of wisdom , Minerva reflects the orders aim to spread true knowledge or illumination about how society and State might be reshaped. The Illuminati ,a secret society is aimed to create a state of liberty and moral equality. During meetings held by these secret society there is a thirteen degrees of initiation divided into three classes. Also according to Utzschneider the secret society Illuminati believed that suicide was legitimate that it's enemies should be poisoned and religion was an absurdity. The Illuminati which is a secret society has been accused of the assassination of John F. Kennedy . There is an idea that secret societies linger behind the scenes pulling the levers of power. Also during meetings the Illuminatus major of the secret society supervised recruitment and the Illuminatus dirigens presided over by the minerval meetings that comes in the stages Apprentice Fellow Master Illuminatus major Illuminatus Dirigens. The third class also hold meetings it is the highest degree of philosophical Illumination. The member of secret were Priest who instituted lower degree members . The lower orders of to this class were under the Authoritiy of a King ,Priest ,Prince and Magus. However the secret society has each novice also initiated in humanitarian philosophy until they become a minerval. They the receive orders statue and could attend meetings. They attend meetings by engaging in the following steps and procedures. They Initiate, Novice, Minerval and Illuminatus Minor. The third class also hold meetings it is the highest degree of philosophical Illumination . The member of this secret society were Priest who instituted lower degree members. The lower orders of this class were under the Authoritiy of a King ,Priest ,Prince ,Magus. The Illuminati a secret society which was founded to oppose religiouy influence over daily life has become one of the world greatest conspiracy theories. However membership in the Illuminati a secret society was punishable by death in the year 1787. Another secret society that was founded at Yale University in New Haven was the order of Skull and Bones. Also each year fifteen seniors at Yale University are tapped to join Skull and Bones. Their names are published in the Yale Rumpus during meetings. Also the windowless meeting space where Bonesmen gather twice a week is under wraps. Members of the secret society take an oath of secrecy during meetings.Also graduate members of Secret society are referred to as"Patriarchs" while those undergoing initiation are called Knights. Outsiders of the group are are the barbarian . Other famous Skull and Bones secret society members include President William Howard Taft, Henry Luce,Former Secretary of State , Presidential hopeful John Kerry. The controversy surrounding America Secret Societies was the Skull and Bones which was to create a new world order run by Bonesmen prompting myriad conspiracy theories. The symbol Skull and Bones secret society is a Skull with two crossbones. Actually what happens behind the closed doors of these secret society has caused by debate for centuries. They seek to continue to spark the imagination and curiosity of the public. The Skull and Bones society which was a secret society in 1832 was known as "Bones" and its members who held regular meetings were known as "Bonesmen". Again members of the order were Initiated to the order during meetings held by Skull and Bones. Again Skull and Bones selects new members among other every Spring as part of Yale University Tap Day since 1879. Skull and Bones selects fifteen men and women of the Junior class to join the secret society. The Skull and Bones Hall is known as the Tomb. The Bonesmen of the secret society were given an opportunity to get together in the form of meetings and rekindle old friendships. Each new member of Skull and Bones visits the Dear Island ,where something is left to be desired. Skull and Bones membership was almost limited to white Protestant males. Also some football were tapped for Skull and Bones. The secret society, Skull and Bones have been accused of possessing the stolen skulls. Skull and Bones steal from Yale Societies and from campus buildings . Also society and members of the club called the practice "crooking and strive to out do each other "crooks. The secret society ,Skull and Bones have been accused of possessing the stolen skulls. Finally I will conclude that most Christians do not engage and like secret societies that is both the Illuminati ,Skull and Bones. Bonesmen are set to divine the future by reading the entrails of live humans in mystical rituals. Others also join Skull and Bones secret society because they are given happy meals such as burgers and fries during meetings and they control the Central Intelligence Agency.
