It's always so funny to me how conspiracy theorists have latched onto the Eye of Providence as some evil occult symbol or as some symbol of the illuminati when in reality, its not nearly as interesting.

For one, it's just a religious symbol. Like full stop so many religions have used it since its just the eye of God- the all seeing eye- or a divine eye to symbol a connection to God. Right off the top of my head I know it's definitely a Christian symbol with it being used to represent the trinity.

And as a non-Christian example we have caodaism.

And even as a non-religious example we have the declaration of Human rights during the French revolution.

That's not even counting how the illuminati, like actual Bavarian Illuminati, was not nearly as grand and epic as conspiracy theorists make them out to be. If anything, you could call them the Reddit atheists of their day for as cringey as that sounds. They just existed to combat the church and went away when they felt the goal was achieved. Hell, even my Star Of David has the eye of Providence on it. Like it really is not that deep lmao.

[id: photo of the Eye of Providence in a triangle; painting of Jesus surrounded by his desciples and an eye in a triangle above him; photo of another Eye of Providence in a triange: Photo of the French Declaration of Human Rights with the Eye in a Triangle on top.]

Yeah it's a symbol of enlightenment, not some secret code or whatever. But conspiracy theories thrive on making assumptions about patterns that are found.

Humans are very good at finding patterns in everything, and when a pattern is found, humans want to find explanations for them. Sometimes, people aren't satisfied with "well it's a common religious symbol", and want something more compelling. People don't like boring answers. That's how conspiracy theories often arise- explaining the reason behind certain patterns, and with a generous dose of antisemitism and racism sprinkled in.

Today I learned Caodaism exists

“To highlight this objective of unity, there is a representation of the Divine Covenant of The Third Amnesty (The Third Alliance) inside every Cao Đài Temple. This Covenant between Heaven and Earth is written and presented to humanity by the Venerable Saints – Victor Hugo, Sun Yat Sen and Trạng Trình Nguyễn Bỉnh Khiêm. Their mission is said to guide humanity into the way of the Third Amnesty.”

I'm elated to see the focus on Korean Buddhism today. I went to a Buddhist high school founded under the teachings of a monk who went by the name of Sah Bu Nim, who founded the Shim Gum Do meditative martial art and established a temple out of an old church in Brighton MA. Might be something you would be interested in looking up though there's very little info online. Also have you done Cao Dai yet? It's Vietnamese and I recently learned of it's existence.

Hey friend! That's pretty cool, I haven't heard of those teachings before. I'll look into them some!

And I actually have Cao Dai posts scheduled to come out later in June. If you don't want to wait that long, search the Caodaism tag here :)

and claimed of receiving spiritual directions from its prominent figures such as Mary, mother of Jesus, the biblical Noah, and Buddha himself.

The religion quickly gained followers by the millions, within a decade of propagation, attracting both the rural peasants and the French-educated urbanites. [1]

Soon after, Caodaism began to attract attention from various political actors due to its insurgent ideas which eventually saw some of its factions participating in an armed insurgency against the French, the Japanese and the Communists until the 1950s. As a result, the religion was demilitarised, its leaders incarcerated, and followers suppressed under the different political regimes, which attributed to the fall of its influence within society. As the communist forces gained total control after Saigon's fall in 1975, religious persecution towards the Caodaists intensified, and the religion was officially banned. [2] As the main Tây Ninh Holy See and other sites were deeply militarised and their external religious practices prohibited, it almost seemed that the religion would disappear with no successive generation of leaders to lead it. Many of its followers went underground to survive, while others sought refuge abroad from religious persecution, thus creating diaspora communities in countries across the world. Following the period of economic reform in the 1990s, Caodaism was - [ ] JUNGLEWOODNETHERRACKNETHERWARTENCHANTMENTTABLECHORUSFLOWERREDSTONEREPEATERREDSTONECOMPARATORTRiPWiREHOOKCOMMANDBLOCKSTiCKYPiSTONALiENSSPECiESFAiRiESDEiTiESGODSCLOWNSROBOTSANDROiDSARTiFiCiALiNTELLiGENCESBRAiNSPOWERSiNTELLiGENCEQUOTiENTSWORMSTAPEWORMSTUBESTUMORSCANCERSHOSTSENTiTiESFUNGiSPARASiTESBACTERiASAMiCROORGANiSMSMUSHROOMSSURGERiESSCiENCESPHYSiCSWiTCHCRAFTSMAGiCSVOODOOSHOODOOSWiZARDSWARLOCKSCULTSSECRETSOCiETiSALTEREGOSiNNERDEMONSCROSSROADDEMONSMEDiCALTREATMENTS CLONES

Cao Dai California Temple in Garden Grove, United States of America Garden Grove, a hub of Vietnamese-American culture, is home to one of only four Cao Dai temples in the United States. The striking building is modeled on Mother Church in Tay Ninh, Vietnam and borrows architecturally from everything from Buddhist temples to Gothic cathedrals. As by far the largest and most lavishly decorated Cao Dai temple in the country, this vibrantly colored interior offers much to see. Cao Dai, or Caodaism, is a syncretic religion, and its followers believe in a unity among all major world religions. According to them, Lao Tzu, Buddha, Jesus Christ, Mohammed, and others weren't offering competing religions; they were all talking about the same things. Practitioners also venerate noteworthy historical figures such as Sun Yat-Sen, Joan of Arc, and even French writer Victor Hugo. https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/california-cao-dai-temple

I didn’t grow up with any real religious exposure, or any real knowledge of religion. But I did grow up in the era of tumblr’s heyday. I saw how crazy fandoms got, and how people got into big fights with one another over nothing, really.

Just how tumblr could really bring out the worst in people, or bring out the worst people and help give them another platform to speak. 

Now that I’m learning more about religion, I notice that they’re all just tumblr fandoms from long ago that have somehow survived to the modern era because their marketing is that good. I’m kind of impressed at the longevity of their fandoms, but dismayed at how people use these fandoms to ruin others’ lives. Before you stick your noses up, or think I am, I include atheism in this list of fandoms. It’s the same thing, just another loud fandom.

Can we normalize calling religion fandoms and treating it as such?

dust-like dream

my spiritual be-ing can be described like the movement of my white prayer dress swishing with ripple-like wave forms alongside the gravity and the wind...

i awake half-asleep as i’m aware with my voice 

why does this feel like a dream

wait - 

can it be? i am stuck, another day

the same day to give me another chance

to take hold of my karmic deeds

and confront it, face it

to break this suffering

here and now . . .

-

Call it ‘karma.’ I feel this is my be-ing realising the essence of ‘self-infliction’ and frustration in a new light and revelation.

I am weak and I do not know why I keep repeating the same habit and action. I fight myself. 

I have arrived into another path - to learn about my ancestors’ way of being and understanding karmic relationships and self-cultivation.

My head use to ‘think’ it knows. Now, my be-ing rules...

Keep walking.
