Summary: <p>Welcome to the How To Die Happy podcast, where host Martin O'Toole takes you on a journey of self-discovery peppering serious conversations with humour and loving-kindness. In addition to our main episodes, we'll have the occasional "Chinwag", where Martin has a random chat with a select buddy. And in our first Chinwag, Martin spills the beans to his friend Chris Siracuse about his experience with the Illuminati recruitment process after being approached via Instagram.</p> <p>The Illuminati is a secret society that has intrigued people for centuries, with its alleged members rumoured to include powerful individuals from all walks of life. While the origins of the Illuminati are shrouded in mystery, many believe it was founded in Bavaria in the late 18th century by a man named Adam Weishaupt. Some historians have suggested that the Illuminati may have had links to the Freemasons, another secret society with centuries-old roots, who have been rumoured to have had a hand in the creation of the Illuminati.</p> <p>Martin shares his personal experience of being contacted by the Illuminati and his initial excitement at the prospect of joining. But don't worry; he's not a full supporter. Instead, he offers a balanced view of the society, sharing his scepticism about their claims of a new age of abundance and warning of the dangers of blindly following any group or organisation.</p> <p>According to the book "<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24311656-illuminatiam" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Illuminatiam: The First Testament Of The Illuminati</a>", the Illuminati's Universal Design has spanned centuries to safeguard the human species from extinction and usher in a new age of abundance for all. The book speaks of the Illuminati's first testament, which reveals the organisation's role in history and secrets of wealth and prosperity that are countless years old. It also discusses how to join the Illuminati in the coming age and one's true purpose in this world.</p> <p>Whether you believe the Illuminati to be a sinister cabal or a benevolent group working for the betterment of humanity, their influence has captured the imagination of people for centuries and will likely continue to do so for many years to come.</p> <p>If you're curious about the Illuminati and want to hear Martin's intriguing story, tune in to our first Chinwag episode. You'll hear about the recruitment process, alleged connections between the Illuminati and other secret societies, and Martin and Chris's scepticism about the group's claims. And who knows, maybe you'll even learn something that will help you on your own journey to self-discovery.
