Jean Jacques Rousseau../Adam Weishaupt .

Liberty and equality are the essential rights that man in his original and primitive perfection received from Nature . Property destroyed Equal ity ; Governments and Religions destroyed Liberty ; therefore to reinstate man in his original rights it was necessary to destroy all Religions , all Civil Societies , and all Property . This was to be done by secret organization “ Yes , ” he prophesied , “ princes and nations shall disappear from off the face of the Earth . Yes , a time shall come when man shall acknowledge no other Law than the great book of Nature . This Revolution shall be the work of our Secret Socie ties , and that is one of our Grand Mysteries . ”
