Occam’s Razor?

This symbol and its many different abstractions shows up in so many places (churches, hospitals, currency, legal documents, movies, songs, song art, corporate logos, ritual and occult literature) that there cannot be any explanation other than there is some unifying factor causing the use of this symbol either purposefully or not. This symbol ties directly to Egyptian mythology and symbolism of the Eye of Ra, or the Eye of Horus.

This symbol has the following connections:

1. The Soul (Animus)
2. God’s Eye
3. The Sun
4. The Third Eye
5. Awakening, Ascension
6. Occult Knowledge
7. That which is most high
8. The Observer Effect (Quantum Physics / Superposition)

The reason why the Eye of Ra/Horus is placed inside a triangle, could be:

1. The Trinity (Father, Sun, Animus)
2. The Third Eye (Pineal Gland) inside a Tetrahedron
3. The Sun inside a 3D world
4. The Capstone of a Pyramid, symbolizing that which is most high

According to Symbols of Freemasonry by Albert G. Mackey:

“The equilateral triangle appears to have been adopted by nearly all the nations of antiquity as a symbol of the Deity, in some of his forms or emanations, and hence, probably, the prevailing influence of this symbol was carried into the Jewish system, where the Yod within the triangle was made to represent the Tetragrammaton, or sacred name of God.” … “The right-angled triangle is another form of this figure which is deserving of attention. Among the Egyptians, it was the symbol of universal nature; the base representing Osiris, or the male principle; the perpendicular, Isis, or the female principle; and the hypotenuse, Horus, their son, or the product of the male and female principle.” … “The triangle is the symbol of the Supreme Architect of the Universe–the Creator; and when surrounded by rays of glory, it becomes a symbol of the Architect and Bestower of Light.”
