However, cleverly concealed in the symbolism of Illuminism is the meaning to those,
the Illuminati, who would know how to unravel it. Thus, the "Light Within" is
"Brought Out." Here we see that the eye-in-the-pyramid motif cleverly conceals the
hidden truth: the eye is the apex of the truncated "body" or form of the pyramidon (a
pyramid without a "cap-stone"). This symbolises the mind above the body below.
Likewise, from this elevated vantage, the mind surveys the entirety of material
reality, and thus, by "co-creating" its immediate surroundings, the mind manipulates
matter using the body as an interface or relay station.
