There are many different ways that the Illuminati gives opportunities for self-development to its members. One aspect of the Illuminati membership often left uncelebrated is how Illuminati can be a very good gradual and systematic training school in speech-making.

Speech-making is a wonderful way to develop confidence, cultivate eloquence, improve self-control and learn to express oneself. Words are thoughts made manifest, and learning to control your words also allows you to skillfully direct your own inner voice. Rhetoric is, after all, one of the seven liberal arts Illuminati members are encouraged to study and practice.

It’s a gradual training system that starts on your initiation with just a few words of thanks and then develops to more detailed toasts and responses, including some where you are representing others.

Remember that the Illuminati is a friendly environment filled with people interested in what you have to say and excited to see you succeed. The good thing is you can learn at your own pace after your initiation and participate in the toast as little or as much as you like.
