To be fair, the original SJGames version (as well as the much later INWO, for that matter) clearly credits RAW & Shea as being a major influence on the game. In my humble opinion, their Illuminatus! Trilogy singlehandedly did more to tie the eye & the pyramid to the Illuminati than any other source prior to 1975. (and, as I've pointed out in other threads, there's no historical evidence the Bavarian Illuminati ever used that symbol anyway...)

Some say it means the omnipresence of God, or the Sun, or whatever. It means different things at different levels, including some rather sinister things.

Sure it does.

You're not contributing anything constructive. A quick trip to Wikipedia would do you good.

It's as constructive as your posts.

LOL I take offense to that.

It's not so much that the symbol is evil. It has been used to represent a non confirmed existing group called the ''Illuminati''. How ever if they did exist it is thought the ALL SEEING EYE is the symbol they use and they are thought to be a group of bad intentions for the benefit of themselves. They have used a GOOD symbol to represent their Masonic clan.

CRB over

You are NOT a Freemason. You may have been related to someone who claims to have been a mason or may have actually been one, however that does not make you one. I can not stand when everybody goes around saying "Im a Freemason". Well to put it bluntly, you are LYING to get attention. Just like a child will lie to feel cool or part of a group. Get a life and stop acting like a child.

Not sure what you're trying to accomplish yelling at a member who hasn't even been on the site in 9 years…

Nor do I understand your beef with people claiming to be Freemasons. There are more than a dozen confirmed Masons who are regulars here on ATS, including a handful of mods.

Originally the symbol was of the sun above a pyramidion (benben stone). In later times the sun was stylised as an eye at the top of the pyramid. Its original meaning is that the eye or sun represents the point of creation and as the energy become more material it descends the pyramid becoming ever more dense until it reaches the base of the pyramid. All such symbols in reality represent pieces of occult science known to initiates and adepts.
