edit to say, btw, you dont have to be an illuminati, to be considered illuminated, and the idea of being a member of some group titled illuminati is contradictive to being illuminated.

actualy you kinda prove what i say with that, since even there it says two different definitions one of them is part of a group, the other is not, and i said you dont HAVE to be, therefor, thx for the affirmation
btw in number 2 def: being the group one, notice the use of the word CLAIM,
what i meant by being in a group is contradictive, i guess i am saying def 1 and def 2 contradict each other, and you are one or the other not both. this is not the first word in the english language which has two different contradictive definitions, besides words are all a matter of interpretation, eye of the beholder and all that
make up a word get enough people saying it, and it gets put in the dictionary for popularitys sake, so it hardly matters anymore what the dictionary has to say about it.edit on 10/19/10 by pryingopen3rdeye because: 2 say more
