Truth (any ray of the Light or Divine Reason) needs to be supported by the individual or humanity that has risen to the degree of attainment called for by the truth, otherwise the truth will simply be engulfed by the darkness of ignorance.
Example... lets say that humanity is given the secret to perpetual motion, to unlimited power, but what will humanity, at this time in its advancement, do with it? Will it use it for the good of all, or will it simply use it to power more advanced killing machines until it destroys itself... once again!
We have to *earn* these truths, through advancement in ourselves, increased Reason, by being Honest, which manifests in Equality, Fairness and all the good things that we Idealize. We, as Humanity, need to earn this before more Light is given. This, is simply a Law... with increased power, comes the need for increased ability to direct it within the Law, or else we will destroy ourselves again.
Zeus didn't want Prometheus to give man fire, because maybe he knew man didn't deserve it at that time in his development, that he would use fire to cook and illuminate the night, but also use it to burn his neighbors doweling down!
The Illuminati... the real Illuminati's work, is in advancement of Humanity, after her/his own advancement. Imagine one giving a hand up to another while at the same time grabbing the hand of the one above... all the way up the celestial chain of the True Esoteric Hierarchy!
One for all and all for One.
in Light,
