All I'm about to type here is what I learned from others and my opinions and some facts. The Order of the Quest originated from Babylon and came out of the influences of both the Babylonian priests and the spirits. The Order of the Quest had two branches, even though they were separated by very far on the earth, they were the Roshaniya (which means Illuminated Ones) of Afghanistan and the Knights Templar of Europe. And the Roshaniya was the emergence of the gnostic Assassins. There were many surviving members of the Knights Templar after it was dissolved by the pope by the papal bull. And many of them became members of the Knights Hospitaller (which later called Sovereign Military Order of Malta [SMOM in short] or Knights of Malta), thus bringing their esoteric religion into this group and made it a Mystery School of the Mystery Religion. And in Scotland, other members of the Knights Templar joined with the predecessors of Freemasonry (but maybe Freemasonry also originated from the Knights Templar). And the members of Knights Templar in Spain became the two groups, they were the Knights of Montesa and the Los Alumbrados (which means The Illuminated Ones in the language of Spain). You see, the Order of the Quest was associated with and was the Roshaniya and created the Los Alumbrados through the Knights Templar thus associated with the term "Illuminated Ones" till the Bavarian Illuminati (which means Illuminated Ones) founded by the Jesuit-influenced Adam Weishaupt. "Illumination" was originally associated with divinity or spirits, this was a general term known by the general public or the ancient peoples of the Middle East and also used by the ancient mystery religions for their spirits and their belief in achieving divinity, but then changed by the Mystery Schools to associating with esoteric knowledge and scientific knowledge. As time past, the Order of the Quest took in the Jesuits (especially the Superior Generals) as its members, and those Jesuits were the leading power behind it since the 1900s and before that. But the main initiation ground or Mystery School for the Jesuits was Freemasonry. And the Superior Generals were the head Freemasons of all Freemasons. The operations of the Order of the Quest and the Roshaniya were continued by the Jesuits and the members of the German trunk of the Illuminati founded by Adam Weishaupt. Also to know, that there were certain Jews (like the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers) who were allies to the Jesuits. The Jesuits with other Initiates (such as the Freemasons, the Knights of Malta, and the members of the German trunk and its two branches [the Skull and Bones Society and the The Group] of the Illuminati founded by Adam Weishaupt,) ruled other societies such as the Committee of 300, the Bilderberg Group, the Bohemian Club, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilaterial Commission, the MAFIA, all central banks, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, the B'nai B'rith, the Club of Rome, the Fabian Society, the CIA, the KGB, the MI5, the MI6, the Mossad, the FBI, the Opus Dei, and the United Nations. The Rosicrucian society originated from the Knights Templar through the Jesuits and approved from at least one of the Jesuits, and the Jesuits falsified its origin as predating the Jesuit Order and made up its fictional founder who in the painted picture resembles in look to Jacques de Molay, the last Grandmaster of the Knights Templar. The Rosicrucian by the name of Francis Bacon had a Jesuit friend by the name of Tobie Mathew. The Jesuits oversee this Rosicrucian society and all other societies.
