That symbol is called The "Eye of Providence." Originally the Eye of Providence was a Christian symbol, and the earliest examples of its use can be found in religious art of the Renaissance period to represent God and it was invented as a sign of God’s compassionate watchfulness over humanity. In post-revolutionary France, Jean-Jacques-François Le Barbier’s 1789 The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen featured the text of the radical new declaration with the Eye of Providence at the top. In this case, it has become an instrument of paternalistic reason watching over the newly egalitarian nation. In 1782 the Great Seal of the United States of America was unveiled. Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and John Adams had proposed ideas for the design, but it was Charles Thomson, Secretary of the Continental Congress, who came up with the pyramid and Eye of Providence, among the other elements of the seal, in collaboration with a young lawyer and artist named William Barton. The unfinished pyramid was intended to symbolise “strength and duration”, with 13 levels to represent the 13 original states of America. The Eye of Providence – like the other two examples from the same period in Britain and France – was a conventional symbol for God’s sympathetic oversight of this fledgling nation. In none of those examples was Freemasonry involved with the choice of symbol. However, Neither Masons, nor Illuminati used the Eye of Providence symbol widely until at least the late 18th Century, and not before Bentham, Le Barbier, Thomson and Barton had adopted it for their very mainstream purposes.

Good evening Diogene ! How are you ? Thank you very much for telling us the history and explanation of this Symbol : I really thought before your explanation here that this Symbol came from.the handworkers corporations who used to build cathedrals in Europe on the middle ages time and who are the roots of the Freemasonry. I really hope I will be able to go to Turkey to pay you a visit and have a discuss with you if you like ( and I hope you ll give me your real first name before ! ) . François
