But the illuminati are nice people, is not that bad if they want to dominate the world. That's what satan wants too ;p
Everyone knows the first goal, world domination, but very few know the others.
The goals are world domination, transcendental illumination, immortality, omnicognizance, and omnipotence.
The Illuminati set about infiltration of all controlling influences of mankind and slowly bringing themselves absolute control. A side effect of this is the one world government that people are afraid of. Transcendental illumination is freeing your mind of all earthly shackles and limitations. The Illuminati seek to be illuminated and to combine this with astral projection and other psychic abilities. Immortality is never dying, and when you've ruled the world for half a century you don't necessarily what to give it up when you die.
There are a number of methods of not dying the Illuminati strive for including mind/energy pattern permanence, alchemeic and magic potions, mind patterns saved on computer/robot, clone brain/mind replacement, cryogenics, and genetic alteration. Omnicognizance is being all knowing. Through illumination and massive psychic powers the Illuminati think they can become all-knowing, in the mean time they use constant surveilence. Omnipotence is being all-powerful, what better way to rule the world is there other than being gods? By combining magic and science in ways alchemists never thought of the Illuminati hope to become as gods
