Sixty-Second Codebreak: Eye in the Pyramid

The answer is staring you straight in the Eye...

The Eye in the Pyramid in the Great Seal has sparked all manner of speculation and theorizing since it was initially published.

But what does it really mean?

The timeline, as ever, is key to breaking this code.

Here's the initial sketch for the Great Seal, incorporating the "Eye of Providence." Note the eye is in a triangle - a motif which dates back to the Alchemical era - but is seen without the pyramid.

And here's the constellation Lyra, usually depicted as an eagle or phoenix, carrying the Lyre or Harp of Orpheus.

The eagle of the “Great Seal” is Lyra, with the lyre redrawn as a heraldic shield.

How do we know this?

Because Lyra was actually depicted on government documents, such as the United States passport.

Again, the original design did not include any of that symbolism.

So what happened in between 1776 and 1782?

The Ring Nebula was discovered in the constellation of Lyra.

This would have been seen as a sign from God to the Founders - hence “Annuit Coeptis,” meaning “He favors our undertakings.”

So what then is the All-Seeing Eye and the unfinished pyramid?

It is Lyra, including Vega (the Falling Eagle) and the Ring Nebula.

Observe…

• Theta Lyra and Vega are connected.

• Sulafat and Sheilak are connected.

• A plane is drawn connecting Sheliak and Zeta Lyra, terminating at the plane connecting Theta Lyra and Vega.

See it now?

If not, let's just rotate the "unfinished pyramid," so the plane between Vega and Theta Lyra is at 0º.

And there it is: The Ring Nebula then sits atop the pyramid.

The angles formed by the connected stars align perfectly with the perspective of the pyramid of the Great Seal, with Sheliak marking the top of the pyramid and Sulafat marking the position of the All-Seeing Eye.

Even in the crudely observed form of 1782, the Ring Nebula was considered important enough to be included on the Great Seal, on both sides.

The “cloud” above the Eagle (Lyra) is also the Ring Nebula (the root of “nebula” is the Indo-European word for cloud).

Always start with the stars.
