THE MINDS EYE

EYE OF PROVIDENCE

The writings and teachings of the Knights of the Blue Oyster Wars refer to "The Minds Eye" rather than the "Eye of Providence". But how the symbol is pictured is the same
The KNIGHT is taught that the "The Minds Eye" must be trained, educated, and improved daily so everyone reaches the goal of caring and sharing individuals in a universal society of equals .
Everday, Americans see what the Knights refer to as The Minds Eye. The "eye"appears on a dollar bill(1) and is often referred to (incorrectly) as a Masonic symbol, Few know the symbol is based on teachings dating back to India and ancient Egypt and is important not only to the Knights but t0 Buddhism and Judaism as well as present day Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons.
Few also k
now what the the symbol means. "Annuit Coeptis" means "Announcing the Birth of" and "Novus Ordo Seclorum" means "New World Order". In one United States based, Christian interpretation, the
"Serpent promised Adam and Eve that their eyes would "be opened" if they ate of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The key word in this passage is eyes, which in Hebrew can be translated 'knowledge'. Opened can be translated 'broadened'.
What the Serpent promised Adam and Eve was that knowledge would be broadened if they ate of the forbidden fruit. But the most foreboding aspect of this scripture emerges from the fact that the Hebrew word for "eyes" is not plural, but singular. What the Serpent actually told Adam and Eve was that their "eye" would be broadened by knowledge.
The "eye" that Scripture wants us to consider is not the physical organ of sight, but the eye of the mind or the soul. This singular "eye" is called the "third eye" of clairvoyance in the Hindu religion, the eye of Osiris in Egypt, and the All-Seeing Eye in Freemasonry.
(John Daniel, Scarlet and the Beast , Vol. III, pp. 6-7)(2)

Note: I deliberately kept the references to the Serpent (the symbol
for Lucifer/evil) t0 highlight the author's negative inferences that "broadening knowledge"is somehow equated with evil. Concern about this "closed mindedness" is also a theme throughout the Knights writing on Americans and societal strictures.
Usually refered t
o as "the Eye of Providence", the symbol shows an eye surrounded by rays of light, a glory. and usually is enclosed by a triangle. It is sometimes interpreted as representing the eye of God keeping watch on humankind. . .
"The Eye is positioned above an unfinished pyramid with thirteen steps, representing the original thirteen states and the future growth of the country. The lowest level of the pyramid shows the year 1776 in Roman numerals. The combined implication is that the Eye, or God, favors the
prosperity of the United States. (3)
The Knights of the Blue Oyster Wars differ by referring to the symbol as "The Mind's Eye" and that the "Eye" is symbolic of the importance of an "all seeing, all feeling" knowlege as a primary goal in every life. The writings of the Knights clearly suggest that The Minds Eye, by not being trained, is slowly being closed thus preventing each individual from "becoming all knowing, all seeing."
Critics of the symbol on the American dollar are in a strange way, on the same page as the Knights. Fundamentalists concerns are related to the fact that a symbol of the devil is seen and used every day in ignorance. The Knights concern is the symbol of The Mind's Eye is seen and used every day with increasing ignorance.
