    What happens when the all seeing eye turns inward?Wallows

    Nothing, it was already all seeing.

    Are you sure about that? Because the union was never perfected to start with. So, something must have had to ontologically happen to the All-Seeing-Eye when it turned its gaze inward.

    If it is truly "all seeing" it can never "turn" its gaze. That implies limits of its vision before it "turned inward". If I see ALL, what happens when I turn my head? I still see all. Now if we are calling something "all seeing" that is actually not "all seeing" due to some un-perfected union (I am not exactly sure what this is referring to), then obviously things change.

    Yes, that is what I pictured as the all seeing eye.

    So the "union" is the completion of the pyramid? So it is not "all seeing" until it rejoins with its base? Why do we call it the "all seeing eye" if it actually has rather limited vision due to its incomplete nature?

    It seems you are creating dogma for a non-existent entity?

    To be fair, I am probably just missing the joke, as usual. Carry on.

    Nah, your ahead of the game. I doubt I'd have the godlike courage or ability to look inwards.

    Maybe it crystalized or blinked.

    So there is no answer. Ha!

    The Eye of Providence brings to mind political conspiracy (Illumanatism), what with its Masonic origins.

    Because God is now dead, his eye has been inherited by the special interests of the state, which gain more power through the market of surveillance capitalism and state corruption.

    If the eye turns against itself it could mean self-exposure of the surveillance activities of a neofascism.

    When the Eye turns Inward and the mouth speaks to the public, it Wikileaks a tear for the state of the nation.
