REVELATION: Book One of THE RECARN CHRONICLES
discriminate against
minorities on the basis of colour, race, gender, sexual preference,
disability, or age. It upheld some of the basic tenets of the old
religions. It prohibited murder and theft. For the most part, what
had previously been morally wrong was still morally wrong. But it
certainly didn’t promise a celestial paradise in the form of Heaven
or everlasting punishment in the fiery pits of Hell.
    The dark side of The Truth
was that it was all part of the Illuminati strategy to create a New
World Order. The ultimate aim of the Illuminati was to create a
totalitarian world government, but the world’s religious and
political systems had been too diverse and the way that the planet
was politically divided into nation states had meant that the task
was too great…until now. Of course, there were many conspiracy
theories about how the Illuminati had already infiltrated
governments around the world, of how they controlled certain
elements of international governments, of how certain influential
members of those governments – including some world leaders - were
actually members of the Illuminati. Some of these theories were
true, some weren’t, but a true global government would not be
possible unless there were a global political party in power in
each country creating and enforcing essentially identical political
strategies in the various nation states. The Revelation of
reincarnation and the emergence of The Truth enabled such global
political reform.
    The Illuminati, also known as
The Order, was coming out of the shadows but, of course, could not
do so with complete transparency. Fear and distrust were still the
prime sentiments felt whenever the name ‘Illuminati’ was mentioned.
Hence the creation of the ONP ,
populated by Illuminati members and sympathizers, and after a slow
start – via local and regional elections – the party had burrowed
its way into the mindset of each country’s electorate by providing solutions to problems that The Order
itself had created . By the mid-2040s the ONP was in power in a large number
of first world countries. In some, such as the UK, the task had
been made simpler by an electoral system that allowed any party an
equal chance to grow and prosper. In the USA it was a much more
difficult task, their two party system not being conducive to
newcomers, but – with the assistance of Illuminati members already
ensconced in the American political system – these obstacles were
finally overcome. The first world was the first to fall, Northern
Europe and Oceana being less religious than many other countries.
Russia tried to resist but eventually the will of the people won
and demanded what they saw as a change for the better. The USA was
a harder nut to crack, but cracked it had been although there was
substantial resistance from the Bible belt states which required
constant containment. Many moderately religious countries had also
succumbed to ONP rule but there were significant areas of the world
that still needed to be conquered, most notably the Middle East,
and large parts of Africa and Asia. India was a strange case and
the Illuminati would have to reconsider its strategy if it were to
take power there; the Hindu majority had treated the proof of
reincarnation as justification for saying ‘I told you
so’ . Buddhists felt partly vindicated, as
they were correct about reincarnation existing but had been wrong
about reincarnation being able to cross species. Ex-Buddhists were
now able to dig the earth without the fear that the worm that they
accidentally sliced in two could have been an ancestor of
theirs.
    Aaron Hunt had died in his sleep in 2047, at the age of eighty-seven.
His wife Susan had passed away four years earlier than Aaron, and
he had never quite got over the loss. He had been forever thankful
for her love and her patience with him; many wives would have
thought their husbands crazy to spend their lives trying to prove
such a concept as reincarnation. But
