The Eye of God


The Eye of God is an equilateral triangle with a single eye inside it and almost always with rays emanating from it.

It symbolizes the omnipresence and omniscience of God, who watches over all things. It is also associated with the Trinity (which the triangle symbolizes in itself).

Historically, representations of an eye tended to be avoided because of the association with the Evil Eye (a widespread and ancient European superstition). No medieval example of the Eye of God has yet been found. A rare Renaissance example of it appears above Christ's head in the Supper of Emmauspainted for the Carthusians in 1525 (shown at right).

The symbol has been connected with Masonic ritual, probably because medieval masons' guilds were foten dedicated to the Holy Trinity. In the 18th and 19thcenturies it was used in Courts of Justice to remind judges of the irresponsibilities. The Eye of God appeared above the altar of the St. Aloysius church in London, which was built by French Catholics in 1808 but destroyed in World War II.

 

The Symbol of OM (AUM)

The sound of OM is called Pranava, meaning that it is something, which pervades life or runs through life force prana or breath. If you close your eyes and silently witness your breath, you can hear the sound of OM resonating in your incoming and outgoing breath. OM is composed of three sounds, A, U and M. Before the beginning of this world, Brahman (creator of the Universe, in Hinduism) was one and non-dual. His intention of becoming many caused a vibration, thereby setting in motion creation of the Universe. This vibration was the sound of OM. If we chant the word OM, the vibration thereby generated corresponds to the same vibration that caused the creation of this Universe.This means this sound can be used as a vehicle to connect to the absolute reality.

SHAPE OF PYRAMID OM SYMBOL: Nowhere in the world can we meet with a more sacred symbol that has got such a vast amount of significance. The symbol of OM also represents the four states of consciousness. The waking state of consciousness is symbolized by the lower curve. The deep sleep stage is symbolized by upper left curve. The dream state lying between the waking state and deep sleep arises from the confluence of the two states. The point on a top represents the Turiya (the state of perfect silence and perfect bliss) and open semi circle represents the infinite. Thus OM symbol contains in itself the meaning of whole Universe. The PYRAMID OM SYMBOL has 9 pyramids, which increase the power of OM further.

USES: 95 percent of modern houses have Vaastu or Feng shui defects, which cause mental tension, poverty, disturbed family relationships, health problems etc. The powerful PYRAMID OM SYMBOL can be used to correct Vaastu defects. Place two symbols on the top of every door frame. One symbol can also be hung on one of the walls of every room for prosperity and peace. It can be placed in the place of prayer to attract abundance and prosperity. Place two symbols under your pillow for better sleep.
