"Ayin: An eye. The 'eye in the triangle' is one of the most basic Masonic figures, exoterically the All-Seeing Eye of God, but estoterically the Eye of Set-Sothis-Shaitan (Satan); represented astronomically as Sirius and anatonomically as the anus. [Craig Heimbichner, Blood On The Altar, page 138]

"All-Seeing Eye: An important symbol of the Supreme Being, borrowed by the Freemasons from the nations antiquity....On the same principle, the Egyptians represented Osiris, their chief diety, by the symbol of an open eye, and placed this heiroglyphic of him in all their temples." (Mackey's Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, The Masonic History Company, 1946, p. 52-53, as quoted from secondary source "The Great Seal, of the United States: It's Occult Meaning, by David Carrico 1997, p. 28

Why equate the single eye with occult duality? Why do we consider the the All-Seeing Eye, or what sometimes called the Eye of Providence, to be a symbolical synonym of the Seal of Solomon? There are several reasons, but the reasons are not readily apparent or obvious.

Whereas many or most Masonic synonyms of the Seal of Solomon are clearly composed of two parts, e.g., Sun-Moon, Yin-Yang, Jachim-Boaz, Hammer-Sickle, Square-Compass, Dot-Circle, etc., one of which is equivalent in meaning to the Fire Triangle and the other of which is equivalent in meaning to the Water Triangle, the Eye of Horus, as it is sometimes called, consists of one symbol; namely, the Eye. So why, or for what good reason, do we equate the single Eye with the quintissentical symbol of occult duality?

First of all, as the quote above by Heimbichner notes, Ayin is esoterically known to represent the anus, which is obviously associated with darkness, things done in darkness, and the darkness in the bowels of the orifice of purgation. In contrast, the exoteric or obvious meaning is to equate the lines emminating from the eye with rays of light. So, in the mind's eye of the occult adepts, the Eye of Shiva, as it's sometimes called, does indeed share the same light-dark or good-evil meaning of Solomon's Seal.

Secondly, the Eye at the center of the hexagram represents the purpose of the process of the occult paradigm. Symbolically, merging the two triangles of the hourglass-symbol creates the seventh enclosed space at the center of the hexagram, where they Eye is located, thus signifying the purpose of the dialectic or occult process. Thus the Eye is one with the hexagram in meaning because it is the product of the process of merging the two triangles of which Solomon's Seal is composed. That said, consider the compendium of quotes following.

"The Blazing Star (Pentagram) has been regarded as an emblem of Omniscience, or the All-Seeing Eye, which to the Egyptian Initiates was the emblem of Osiris, the Creator." [Pike, "Morals and Dogma", p. 26-16, according to the Cutting Edge Ministry, ILLUMINIST ALL-SEEING EYE SUMBOLISM SUDDENLY MADE PUBLIC IN LONDON, November, 2002.

"...his (Osiris) power was symbolized by an eye over the Sceptre. The Sun was termed by the Greeks the Eye of Jupiter, and the Eye of the world; and his (The Sun glyph) is the All-Seeing Eye in our Lodges." (Albert Pike, Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, pp. 15-16, 477)

"One of the four Lipka Lords, Who stand nearest to our planetary Logos, is called `The Living Serpent,' and His emblem is a serpent of blue with one eye, the form of a ruby, in its head. Students who care to carry this symbology a little further can connect this idea with the `eye of Shiva' which sees and knows all..." (Alice Bailey & Djwhal Khul - A Treatise of Cosmic Fire)

"...the phrase so often employed, `the All-Seeing Eye.' This refers to the planetary Logos to see all parts, aspects and phases (in time and space) of his planetary vehicle,..." (Alice Bailey, Discipleship in the New Age II - Teachings on the New Age - Part IV)

"It is through the medium of this "all-seeing eye" that the Adept can at any moment put Himself in touch with His disciples anywhere; that He can communicate with His compeers on the planet, and on the third planet which, with ours, forms a triangle..." (Alice Bailey & Djwhal Khul - A Treatise on Cosmic Fire)

"...upon the Path of Initiation, the initiate develops his tiny correspondence to the planetary `All-Seeing Eye.' (Alice Bailey & Djwhal Khul - Discipleship)

"Nor is Antichrist unknown to Mohammedan theology in which he is called Masth al Dajjal, the false or lying Christ.... He is to be one-eyed and marked in the forehead with the letters C.F.R., i.e., Cafir or Infidel." --Encyclopedia Britannica, 1904. According to Texe Marrs, in his incredible book, "Circle of Intrigue," this quote from the Encyclopedia Britannica has since been remmoved after the Encylopedia Britannica was bought by the Illuminati, but Texe has a copy of the 1904 version which contains this amazing informaiton.

"In neither pain nor joy is liberation found. In neither dark nor light will the spiritual sun appear. The pair of opposites distract the eyes of man. Only the single eye directs the steps of the initiate upon the way." -- Lucis Trust manual, Discipleship in the New Age (Vol. II), as quoted in "Circle of Intrigue," by Texe Marrs, page 141. The Lucis Trust, among many other occult Masonically spawned or influenced organizations, such as the O.T.O. --a satanic organization greatly influenced by father of modern satanism A. Crowley--uses the All-Seeing Eye as representative of the deity they idolize.

Speaking of a figure of a hexagram with an eye in the center, Albert Churchward, a Freemason, writes: "The interpretation therefore, of this symbol, sign, or ideograph (Fig. 42) is Horus, or T.G.O.U.T.U., the Eternal Lord of the North and South [as represented by the two triangles], the Great Judge, Unerring, Just, and True, Lord of the All-Seeing Eye." (pg 174-175) Churchward, author of "The Arcana of Freemasonry",
