Masonic & Occult Symbols Illustrate

Egyptians represented Osiris by the symbol of an open eye, and placed this hieroglyphic of him in all their temples. In the Lodge the All Seeing Eye represents the Omniscence (sic) of God,—The Eye that never sleeps. It may also represent, as in the Ancient Mysteries, the higher vision.” Masonic author, J. D. Buck, agrees: “The EYE of SIVA is, in fact, an All-Seeing Eye; for it practically annuls Space and Time as concepts on the physical plane.... A real Master, then, has the Eye of SIVA; the pineal gland, dormant in others, is active in him; and the vibrations of his brain correspond to the synthesis of sound and light.” [Emphasis in the original] Hieronimus remarks: “The single eye also has been identified with the third or spiritual eye and therefore with clairvoyance. The esoteric tradition relates the single eye to the inner light, intuitive power, illumination, and the philosopher’s stone....” Many authors recognize that clairvoyance is gained through use of the third eye. For instance, a book entitled The Third Eye describes how T. Lobsang Rampa “entered Chakpori Lamasery, the Temple of Tibetan Medicine where he learned clairvoyance, levitation and astral projection by learning to open the third eye.”
