Are you in a secret society?

I used to think that secret societies were sort of a silly subject to discuss even though I did believe there were secret groups at the top in power.
I mean it just made logical sense that there would be secrecy at such levels of government for its own preservation.

But on another hand it didn't make logical sense that I or almost anyone else in the public realm could know the names of these groups or much about them at all due to the nature of secrecy in the first place.
Though in the last couple years.. It has become abundantly clear to me that there are a lot of secret societies, probably thousands of different ones and millions of members in the various groups.

I used to sort of joke about the Illuminati and still do at times, though now I realize they are a real historical group..
Whether they are still active today in the world or not is another thing..
Though.. Even just recently we had an election in the US where both members were admitted Skull and Bones members.
No matter who got elected in that case, Republican or Democrat.. Skull and Bones ultimately got elected.

And I think that's an incredibly important example to show you to highly how most of politics likely works, both in the US and outside it.
Many people think they are electing or getting someone who is publicly claiming to be belonging to one party or mindset, while secretly holding a higher oath to their secret groups and obligations.

Over 10 of our presidents were admitted Free Masons including the very first one, probably more. I wouldn't be surprised if every president was a Mason.
Tons of politicians, government officials, celebrities, famous people, sports players and on and on and on.. To pretty much almost every profession or walk of life you can find.

Their symbols surround us on our money in our language and alphabet in the buildings and statues and music and movies and even childrens toys and cartoons and comic books and things like that..
It's insane if when you really start to realize just how much of a secret world there is to mirror the public visible one.
It's monumental, it's almost everywhere.. Just like secret society members themselves..
Almost anyone you know could be in a secret society and you might not even know it.. How would you.. Unless they told you and admitted it..?

So.. Are you in a secret society? If so, feel free to say hi. I would be happy to have a brief chat with you.
I think it's important to more further try to bridge the gap between the secret world and the public one.

I have numerous friends in secret societies, and they often seem to feel like or express to me that.. They are misrepresented in society and there's a lot of unfair conspiracy theories and stereotypes.
And I sort of tend to agree, not all secret society people are bad, some are good and most probably believe they are doing good one way or the other.

While I think we should bring more out into the open and the light, and while I don't ever plan on joining a secret society myself..
I do think that trying to befriend and talk to and try to understand and open more of a dialogue between the public and secret societies is one of the most important things we can do.

There's too much secrecy in the world, too many adults are kept infantilized to the reality of the world, I think things like 9/11 will keep happening and be much more able to happen the more the public is kept ignorant and in the dark..

I can understand secrecy to certain extents, but we definitely have too much secrecy in government, I think we deserve to know all but the most sensitive of information like weapon launch codes and troop locations, things like that.
So.. The more we try to bridge this gap between the public and the secret world, I think the better we will all be.
