The eye of providence

The Eye of Providence (or the All-Seeing Eye of God) is a symbolic-allegorical composition, a pictogram, and represents an eye inside a triangle from which rays emanate. Although it is found in a variety of places, one of the most famous modern uses is on the US government seal, the 1935 coat of arms and the one dollar bill. The idea of including the Eye of Providence in the US symbolism, but without the sun's rays, came from the American artist and philosopher Pierre Eugene de Simitiers. The final draft by Charles Thompson, Secretary of Congress, was approved by the US Congress in 1782.

## meaning

Some scholars point out that the Illuminati use various symbols and images that help fuel the mystical image that exists for the organization. Among them are the pentagram, the obelisk and the all-seeing eye. Two important meanings can be emphasized regarding this symbol:

-The eye enclosed in the triangle refers to the watchfulness of the Holy Trinity - or divine being - over the events of mankind. This image is also found in Christianity.

-It is also associated with Roman mythology, precisely with Athena's owl, which is a representation of wisdom and knowledge. Therefore, it is appreciated that this image was chosen to show the importance of science, light and spirit.

From its use, the all-seeing eye has changed its image over time; however, it seems to retain the same meaning.
