After some investigations I found some interesting articles about the connection of the Ascended Masters to the iluminati. I heard some stories about them but no real proof so I decided to do some research, I found a site with content that helped me to uplift some of my questions.

The White Brotherood (Ascended Masters) are all part of the Amethystine order ( an Iluminist order) that is related to the violet flame.

Amethystine besides being a iluminist order also means "Python" or snake (there is a snake called Amethyst snake or Python).

The White Broterhood manifested itself on Earth the first time through what they called "Solar Brotherhood" or peple of the sun. It is said they were brought on Earth by Kumara (his name means Androgenous serpent) who was originaly a Pleiadian that traveled to Venus and brought the "Sun beings" (Angelic Pleiadian beings) to the earth.

Are the ascended masters iluminati? Well, they are iniciated in the Amethystine (iluminist) order, and we know that the Solar Brotherhood was related to a initiation ritual called "illumination flame" since the times of Lemuria.....

Now I know from my memories that the Pleiades symbol is the bird, the birds and Dolphins original DNA was first developed on the Pleiades and we know that the birds are considered to be the evolution of the dinossaurs they have the same base DNA. So what does this tell us? Are the Pleiadians the evolution of the reptilians or have they worked together on DNA projects? Why did Kumara the "snake" take the Pleiadian angelic beings to the earth and they were then named "Sun people"? What is their relation and what is the relation between them and Venus?

We also know the Maians had a serpent feathered god called " Quezacoatti" serpent (reptilian) + feathered (birds = pleiadian?) was this a stage between the evolution of reptilian and bird (reptilian and pleiadian?).

Next, as we know the ascended masters are also part of the rosicrucian order (the symbol is a rose) some people have a rose (or flower similar to a rose) in their aura so I believe this can be a way to identify certain cosmic origins.

There was a dragon family called "Rex Deus" in the mid ages made of Jewish elders who married royal european families...Again these are associated to the reptilian and iluminati. N

My point in this the ascended masters are not depicted as perhaps we are told they are, they are part of a bloodline that has a reptilian orgin to it, possibly a fusion between reptilian and pleaidian angelic. Now, all ascended masters are iniciated in the order of Amethystine so they are illuminati.

Now I asked myself is Iluminate quoted as something negative at all? And if so are all iluminate of the same type? I found something that would explain what happened in the History of Atlantis. Here it goes:

According to Enoch, the Brotherhood of Light first sought to upgrade intelligence upon this planet eons ago and the first attempts in recent cycles of time took place in the Takla Makan Desert (Tibet) where the civilization of “Tak” was evolved 36,000 years ago and reached over a vast area to South America. Great city areas were built and seeded with a great technology that enabled Man to communicate with the Lords of Light while living in bodies that were of great light and of Light molecular density. LIGHT BODIES.

After this experiment ended in disaster with the people of light intermarrying with the fallen offspring of the Lords of Light, another experiment was generated, Atlantis. Their technology was based on crystalline attunement of the matter and anti-matter cycles of the physical and non-physical worlds. This ended in failure due to the mixing of genetic codes and factors of light by the fallen axis Lords of Light who used their crystalline technology to bring Atlantis into war and destruction.

"After this experiment ended in disaster with the people of light intermarrying with the fallen offspring of the Lords of Light" So there is fallen offspring of the lords of light....what does this mean? The Light has a "fallen" part too? Again, why do the reptilians relate with the Pleiadians? Where they friends or Did the reptilians need the Pleiadian DNA for something ? Well we know that the Pleiadians are similar to us humans....So perhaps the reptilians thought it would be a  nice idea to mate with the pleiadians and then seed the earth.

Saint Germaine was a dragon master....and connected to the dragons and snakes.
his "book of triangles" shows how much he was related to them...reptilians.
