The Catholic Trinity is
3-in-1 and 1-in-3 (if you can believe that). The Masonic trinity are the three degrees
of the Blue Lodge Craft degrees. Ordinarily these are depicted as three steps leading
up to the basis or foundation for the York and Scottish rite degrees. These three stair-
steps up to the "Lodge Door," figuratively speaking, are also depicted in the Illuminati
eye in the pyramid design, although not in the pyramid itself. They are depicted in
the iris of the eye of providence: s, the pupil of the "eye of providence," surrounded by the 3 stair-steps in the iris,
represents itself the "Lodge Door," and, more importantly, the "mir licht" promised
beyond it to the hood-winked candidate. The iris of the Illuminati "eye of providence"
is thus the Masonic Trinity, while the pupil itself represents the dilation of the eye to
allow in the Light of Illumination. The difference between the Illuminati use of the
"eye of providence" and that by Catholic and other Christian artists is that the 3-
tiered iris of the Illuminati "eye" might be thought to signify the Masonic GAOTU
rather than the Catholic Trinity. Putting the "eye of providence" of the GAOTU in the
Trinune halo of God may be considered a blasphemy to Catholicism. This, I believe,
was the intention: by infiltrating Masonry, Weishaupt hoped to militarize the order
against Catholicism; as the Rosicrucian saying went, "the Pope is the Anti-Christ,"
and thus the GAOTU did not represent Lucifer, aside from insofar as a Good angel in
opposite to the worse, "Satanic" power-monger, the Pope.
