Pyramid and All-Seeing Eye – Their Occult Meaning and Use in Corporate Logos

by Martin Masse

The Pyramid and the All-Seeing Eye on the American dollar bill are the ultimate “conspiracy theory” symbol. And there’s a good reason for that. They reveal at the same time who the conspirators are, where they’re from and where they want to go. The fact that the Great Seal is an occult and Masonic is a fact, proven by the writings of the Founding Fathers themselves and masonic documentation. No conspiracy theory here. Here’s look at its esoteric meaning and its use in corporate logos.

No other symbol embodies so perfectly the occult nature of America’s roots. The Great Pyramid and the All-Seeing Eye are printed right on the currency and are used in numerous corporate logos. This might give you an idea of who owns the financial and the business world.

Some websites go through great lengths to debunk the “myth” of the Great Seal being a masonic symbol. Through sophist style reasoning and vaguely insulting explanations, these sites deceive readers and seek to cut short their inquiries. Do you really want to know if the Seal is a masonic symbol? If so, go right to the source and see what the Founding Fathers and masonic authors say on the subject. This is what we’ll do.

Secret Societies and their Role in America

Secret brotherhoods (i.e. the Rosicrucians, Freemasons and Illuminati) maintained the democratic ideal alive through the Middle Ages and covertly organized its resurgence in the Western world.

“For more than three thousand years, secret societies have labored to create the background of knowledge necessary to the establishment of an enlightened democracy among the nations of the world.”

~ Manly P. Hall, Secret Destiny of America

Sir Francis Bacon, a British philosopher, statesman, scientist, lawyer, jurist, author and the first Grand Master of modern Freemasonry wrote in 1623 The New Atlantis where he envisions America as being a land organized and ruled by Rosicrucian philosophy. This prophetic book described a land where scientific and philosophic institutions reigned at the heart of the human Empire.

Tributes to Francis Bacon and his famous saying “Knowledge is Power” can be found all over Washington DC, proving his importance in the eyes of the Founding Fathers.

The new American nation was also under the influence of the Illuminati, a European occult order who Winston Churchill considered to be the hidden force behind the French Revolution. George Washington discusses their influence in America a letter written in 1798.

Letter written by George Washington concerning secret soceities in America (transcript):

Mount Vernon, October 24, 1798.

Revd Sir: I have your favor of the 17th. instant before me; and my only motive to trouble you with the receipt of this letter, is to explain, and correct a mistake which I perceive the hurry in which I am obliged, often, to write letters, have led you into.

It was not my intention to doubt that, the Doctrines of the Illuminati, and principles of Jacobinism had not spread in the United States. On the contrary, no one is more truly satisfied of this fact than I am.

The idea that I meant to convey, was, that I did not believe that the Lodges of Free Masons in this Country had, as Societies, endeavoured to propagate the diabolical tenets of the first, or pernicious principles of the latter (if they are susceptible of seperation). That Individuals of them may have done it, or that the founder, or instrument employed to found, the Democratic Societies in the United States, may have had these objects; and actually had a seperation of the People from their Government in view, is too evident to be questioned.

As we can see, George Washington acknowledged the covert influence of the Illuminati in the shaping of the United States and claimed that “no one is truly satisfied of this fact” than he is. This shouldn’t be a surprise, considering the fact that Washington is considered one of the most important Freemason in American history.

Many other actors in the American revolution were Masons.

~ Al Dager, A Masonic History of America

As you can see in the list above, Benjamin Franklin was also a notorious Mason. His influence in the development of America as we know it was colossal.

“Men bound by a secret oath to labor in the cause of world democracy decided that in the American colonies they would plant the roots of a new way of life. Brotherhoods were established to meet secretly, and they quietly and industriously conditioned America to its destiny for leadership in a free world…Benjamin Franklin exercised an enormous psychological influence in Colonial politics as the appointed spokesman of the unknown philosophers; he did not make laws, but his words became law.”

~ Manly P. Hall, Secret Destiny of America

By keeping those facts in mind, we can better understand the masonic origin of the Great Seal of the United States.

“European mysticism was not dead at the time the United States of America was founded. The hand of the Mysteries controlled in the establishment of the new government, for the signature of the Mysteries may still be seen on the Great Seal of the United States of America. Careful analysis of the seal discloses a mass of occult and Masonic symbols.”

~ Manly P. Hall, Secret Teachings of All Ages

The design of the Great Seal went through three committees where numerous ideas were submitted. There seemed to be a consensus around the usage of a pyramid containing exactly thirteen steps and/or the representation of the “Eye of Providence”. Here are the most important submissions.
