Eye Images are Occult Symbols

The eye as a symbol has many interpretations, including those of deity, light, illumination, inner vision and protection. Eye artwork can include one, two, three, or any number of eyes, as well as the eye being open, half-open, or closed. Many of our modern ideas concerning the eye symbol can be traced back to Egypt. The Egyptian open eye was depicted in numerous forms, including a single eye, right and left eyes, and triangles of eyes.

The sun was called by the Egyptians the “All-Seeing Eye of Osiris”. Osiris, also Re or Ra, used his fiery un-blinking solar eye to create or destroy life as he willed. Other examples of Egyptian single eye symbolism include- a weeping eye of creation, a winged eye, a winged sun disk, a divine cobra coiled around a solar disk, an eye within a fiery triangle, the right eye of Horus, and the right eye of Horus in a solar disc. All these various eye representations emanate streams of light.

Egyptian dual- eye symbolism can be seen in diverse configurations containing the right and left eyes of Osiris or Horus, including above a pyramid. , The right eye of both Osiris and Horus is the creative solar eye that sees the future, while their lunar left eye was attuned to the moon and perceiving the past.

Three eyes can be seen in some Egyptian triangles. One shows an open solar right eye, an open lunar left eye, and an “All-Seeing Eye of Re” positioned at the peak of the triangle. Esoterically, the right eye directed astral forces, the left eye attuned to lower mental energies, while the uppermost eye focused divine soul energies. The entire triangle was filled with, and emitted, radiant light.

The Masons were very important in founding the United States of America. The influence of Egyptian eye imagery on Masonry can be seen by viewing the Great Seal of the United States, and the dollar bill. On them we notice a single- eyed triangle that shines rays of light floating over and completing a thirteen course truncated pyramid. The mystic eye within the triangle is the “Eye of Providence”, a symbol of omniscience, omnipresence, and divine guidance for the people of United States. The “Eye of Providence” watches over the United States like the “All-Seeing Eye of Ra” oversaw Egypt.

The third eye or “Eye of Light” is a symbol of the usually inactive chakra between the eyebrows called the ajna center. This major chakra is the “Single Eye” that transcends opposites and facilitates soul-personality unification for the developing student who safely awakens it. Also called the “Eye of Siva”, the wakening of this chakra is also reflected in the unfolding of clairvoyance and the ability to focus thought energies into a beam of light. Here the third eye is called the “Directing Eye”, or “Eye of the Soul”. Through it the personality can spiritually vision their soul’s purpose and choose to willingly align their personal wills and efforts with that vision.

Lemurians and the earlier human races of Atlantis all had functioning third eyes. The Lemurians had two widely separated eyes in front and an active third eye centered in the backs of their heads. Races of both advanced and savage now extinct gigantic one-eyed Cyclopes once existed on Atlantis and throughout the ancient world.
