The All-Seeing Eye: Sacred Origins And Mystical Symbolism

 

Long before it became a Symbol of Freemasonry and certain secret societies like the Illuminati of Bavaria, this symbol was and always was a powerful esoteric symbol, a symbolic of a higher spiritual power or God, a watchful caretaker of humanity or an awakened spiritual part within.

 

The Hindu god Shiva has three eyes. The third eye or brow chakra eye is known as the eye of Shiva, possessor of all knowledge, which when opened will destroy anything it sees. Thus it is a symbol of knowledge which destroys evil and ignorance, the spiritual wise as the all-seeing eye in the Rig Veda, a Sanskrit text thought to have been written over 3,000 years ago.

 

In Buddhism, Buddha is referred to as the Eye of the World and it's representation is typical for many temples like in Nepal. The eyes are also known as the eyes of wisdom and compassion.

 

The Egyptian hieroglyph for their god Osiris contains an eye. So as with Hinduism and Buddhism we find a spiritual deity being represented in ancient times as an eye.

 

In ancient Egypt, the all-seeing eye was known as the Eye of Horus or the Eye of Ra and also formed part of the symbology of Wad-jet. Through various myths they were symbols of protection, healing and restoration. The left eye of Horus was said to be the moon and his right eye the sun. Horus being a Sun god of light and wisdom, this a symbolism repeated in the universal Christ, a spiritual force which a suitably prepared person can merge with.

 

In the Middle East the all-seeing eye has been known in the form of a hand-eye symbol (normally right hand) called either Hamsa, Khamsa or Hamesh. Again it is a symbol of protection against the evil eye (and bad luck caused by jealousy from others) and danger in general.

 

It is also known as the hand of Fatima in Islam and the hand of Miriam in Judaism. In India it is known as the Humsa Hand.

 

The Hamsa has been used for thousands of years and is still used today as amulets, charms or wall hangings. It would seem to have its origins from ancient Mesopotamia with the hand of Ishtar being a symbol of divine protection even though it did not contain the eye in the palm.

 

In Greece and Turkey they have something similar to the Hamsa which they call "Nazar". It is just an eye without the hand to ward off the evil eye, in the form of amulets or hanging ornaments usually made from blue glass.

 

There is also the amazing discovery in 1984 in La Mana, central Ecuador, of an ancient artifact referred to as the Black Pyramid. The so-called Black Pyramid is made from black stone with an eye at apex, it looks like a representation of the great pyramid of Giza (7,470 miles away) and also amazingly just like the eye pyramid symbol used on the Great Seal of America and the $ 1 bill.

 

In Christianity, the all-seeing eye or "Eye of Providence" or "Eye of God" has been used as a symbol from at least the 16th century. The eye is inside a triangle, and surrounded by rays of light, with the triangle representing the holy trinity and the whole symbol meaning God's omnipresence and all-seeing eye watching over creation. This use of this symbol was before 1797, a date that masons are regarded as beginning to use the eye-in-pyramid symbol.

 

In some churches the symbol with the writing “Hic Domus Dei est et Porta Coeli” translates to “This is the House of God and the Gateway to Heaven.”

 

In Ion Mystic World we have the rose inside the pyramid, the secrets of spiritual ascension, enlightenment, or rebirth protected by the holy trinity. The eye surrounded by rays of light meaning God’s omnipresence and all-seeing eye watching over the Universal Creation but also the spiritual enlightenment.

 

Above the eye is the wheel of births and the reincarnation of souls, in the background the perpetual and timeless cycle of reincarnation with connection between Heaven (Spiritual Universe) and Earth (Pyramid - Body) and governed by the Universal Spirit of Creation, that all see and illuminate. Between the West and the East represented by the two crosses the passage of mystical time that is renewed every day in an eternal balance but also the alternation between the Moon and the Sun, between Night and Day.

 

Here the pyramid symbolizes consciousness of strength and energy but also foundation of the spirituality of Man. The base of the pyramid stands for the body, the sides show the spiritual attempts, the point symbolizes the harmonious union of the human with God, the Creator or the Spirit Universal Of Creation.
