Why The TFP Emblem Is What It Is
By Mark Passio

Symbolism can be confusing and cryptic, to say the least. It is a language unto itself,
and like any language, learning it involves understanding how its simple aspects work first,
before one is able to comprehend its complexities. For example, a child learning to read, first
learns the letters of the alphabet, then how they fit together to
form words, then how a series of words forms complete ideas,
or sentences. One could never understand a sentence
without the prerequisite knowledge of what each word in
a sentence means. To recognize each word, one would
first need to recognize the letters that comprise it. This
is how language is processed, from the simple to the
complex. Symbolism works in the same basic way.

To understand the TFP emblem, one must first

fully comprehend the meaning of the complex symbol
from which it is derived, the reverse of the Great Seal
of the United States (Figure 1). I would estimate
that less than one in ten thousand people understand the
true meaning of this symbol, so I will endeavor to explain
it as best I can.

States is what is known as a Sigil in occultism. This is
a complex, multi-layered symbolic seal or inscription,
which combines multiple simpler symbols in a specific arrangement, to convey a deeper
understanding to the Initiated. By Initiated, I mean those who understand the deployment
of such complex symbolic language via the knowledge of simpler symbols, or building-blocks,
which comprise its makeup.

Keep in mind that symbolism is often prone to misinterpretation, and someone who is
not well-versed in it’s basic "vocabulary" may be easily led astray, either to a totally incorrect
reading, or to an incomplete understanding of the total message being shown. Sadly, the latter has
largely been the case when it comes to the symbolism contained in the reverse of the Great Seal.
This sigil conveys a DUAL meaning, as do many complex occult symbols.
 Let’s proceed with a breakdown of the symbolic meaning of the seal.

First, let's list the individual components of the seal:

• An all-encompassing circle
• The Latin inscription “Annuit Cœptis”
• An Illuminated Eye inside an equilateral trianlge
• An incomplete pyramid, comprised of 13 courses of stone blocks
• A banner bearing the Latin inscription “Novus Ordo Seclorum”
• A series of 9 letters at the pyramid’s base: MDCCLXXVI

Next, let’s examine each component in detail.

The encompassing circle represents the World or Universe. In symbolism throughout

almost every culture and time period, the circle is the geometric shape which represents
wholeness, completion, perfection, infinity, totality, timelessness, and endlessness
- concepts usually equated with the World, the Universe, or Creation.

The Latin phrase “Annuit Cœptis” means “He/She/It favors our work/project.”
Three questions come to mind at this point.
Who favors the work? Whose work is it? What is
the nature of this work? Answers to these
questions will become clear once we
understand more about the total symbol.

The Illuminated Eye inside the

equilateral triangle represents Divinity,
God, the Light, or the Creator of the
Universe. This eye is the Source of
Light in the scene. Notice that the triangle
forms a two-dimensional “hole in the sky,”
giving the impression that you are peering
through into another dimension or world
from which this Light is streaming. A
Figure 2: The three-fold aspect of Consciousness. triangle is the simplest geometric form which is
able to represent the concept of an enclosed space, or
a boundary. A “hole in the sky” would
certainly constitute a boundary - a portal, or a boundary between worlds.
Conceptualizing the idea of God involves considering notions like infinity, totality,
timelessness, endlessness, and oneness. The ideas of equality, balance and
congruency are stressed by the triangle’s equilateral sides. This is symbolic of the idea of
God as Oneness, Perfection, Balance, and Non-Duality. Non-dual Consciousness is
often referred to as the state of consciousness where a being has come into congruency in each
of the three aspects of Consciousness (Figure 2),
these being Thought (Mind), Emotion (Spirit), and Figure 3: The Blade & Chalice.
Action (Body). When we come into this non-dual state
of being, we are no longer in a condition of internal
opposition in Mind, Spirit and Body. As we think, so
we feel, so we act. This is Unity Consciousness, or
Non-Duality, and has been described as being the
“image of the Divine.”

The incomplete stone pyramid represents one

version of the “work” or project that has been started, The Blade: The Chalice:
which is not yet complete, but in a transitional phase. Fully Masculine or Feminine or
understanding what the stone pyramid represents is Yang Energy Yin Energy
crucial to the correct reading of the entire Great Seal. To do
this, we must examine all its qualities in detail. First, note
that if the shape of the pyramid is followed through to
it’s completed form, we would essentially see it, from the
perspective of the scene, as an upward-pointing
triangle. This shape represents the masculine aspect
of Consciousness, or Yang energy. In symbolism, this
archetypal shape is referred to as the “Blade,” as has
been used to represent male, solar, active,
aggressive and dominant energies and qualities.
The counterpart and balancing aspect to the masculine
energies were symbolically represented by the
“Chalice,” an inverted triangle which symbolized
the feminine Yin energy, or the lunar, passive,
introspective, intuitive and compassionate
qualities of Consciousness.

When balanced, these seemingly opposite qualities

symbolically depicted through the balanced union of
the Blade and Chalice (Figure 4), known by different
names such as the Chemical Wedding, the Star of David, or, perhaps most appropriately,
the Seal of Solomon (Solomon = Sun/Sol + Moon). In biblical allegory, Solomon is the
King who commissions the building of a great temple known as the Temple of Solomon.
This is not an actual, physical temple, but is symbolic of balanced consciousness through
the balancing of the left
(masculine) and right
(feminine) brain
hemispheres.

The human brain has

three main complexes
within it (Figure 5), each
one corresponding to one
of the three aspects of
Consciousness. These are
the Reptile Brain, the
Mammal Brain and the
Human Brain. The
Reptile Brain, or R-
Figure 5: The basic structure of the human brain. Complex, corresponds to
the Body and governs
motor skills, survival,
and fight-or-flight-response. The Mammal Brain, or Limbic System, allows us to
experience emotions and corresponds to Spirit. The Human Brain, or Neocortex, makes
possible higher order thought
functions, reason and
conceptual thinking, and
obviously corresponds to the Mind
aspect of Consciousness. Its
functions are what truly make us
human.

The neocortex is divided into

two hemispheres (Figure 6).
The left brain hemisphere is
the masculine side of the brain.
Its general functions include logic,
analytical thought, verbal
communication, mathematics
and linear, procedural
thinking. This side of the
neocortex could be seen as a

serial processor and makes it possible for us to live in, and interact efficiently with, the
physical world. The right brain hemisphere functions make it possibly for us to engage in
creativity, art, music, intuition, compassion, empathy and non-linear, holistic
thought processes. It can be envisioned as a parallel processor which enables us to
experience the non-material, spiritual aspects of being. When we ask profound questions,
like Who Am I?, WHY do I
exist?, What is the purpose of
Life?, or Why do human beings
experience suffering?, we are
engaging the right
hemisphere of the brain.

These two hemispheres

must be employed in
conjunction, utilizing both
left-brain and right-brain
functions equally, for the
whole brain to function
normally and in a healthy
manner. If either hemisphere

to become impaired. Left-
brain dominance leads to
the Reptile Brain becoming dominant and the Limbic System becoming ineffectual. The end-
result of this state would manifest as chronic stress, control, domination, greed, immoral
behavior and a general loss of the ability to experience empathy toward other human
beings. In other words, a sadistic, male-dominator mindset akin to a psychopath. Chronic
right-brain dominance creates the reverse. In this state, the R-Complex begins to
malfunction and the Limbic System runs rampant, leading to out-of-control emotions,
depression, self-loathing, addiction, victim-mentality and the overall loss of the
ability to effectively exercise will power in one’s own life situations. In other words, one
becomes what amounts to little more than a willing slave. In both situations, the neocortex
essentially ceases to function in its proper role as the executive command center of the human
brain complexes. Figure 7 shows what a healthy neocortex looks like compared to the brain of
someone with severe brain imbalance. The brain on the right shows what the brain of both a
dominator AND a slave look like, once such damage has occurred.
 Understanding the basics of human brain function, we can can now return to the symbolism
of the pyramid and eye on the Great Seal. We saw that the state of brain balance is
symbolically depicted as the Seal of Solomon, and Solomon was the builder of the
Temple. The brain has been called the “Temple In Man” in esoteric teachings. It resides
between the temples of the
head, and it is comprised of the
masculine left-brain hemisphere (the
Sun/Sol) and the feminine
right-brain hemisphere (the
Moon). Thus, the brain is the
symbolic “Temple of
Solomon,” the Temple of the
Sun and Moon. Mystic
traditions throughout history
have taught that upon reaching
higher states of consciousness
through brain hemispherical
balance, the pineal gland in
the center of the brain, which
normally lies dormant, would
become active, enabling a
paradigm-shifting mode of
higher awareness, or the
symbolic entrance to “another
world” in Consciousness. The
awakened pineal gland has
traditionally been referred to as
the Third Eye, or the ONE
EYE.

masculine left-brain hemisphere and
the Consciousness aspect of Body/Actions. On the right side, we see the Moon above the
Corinthian Pillar of Boaz, which is marked with an “B” for Beauty, a feminine quality. This
pillar represents the feminine right-brain hemisphere and the Consciousness aspect of Spirit/
Emotions. These aspects must be united via the Middle Pillar, marked with a “W” for
Wisdom. The Ionic (“Eye On”) Pillar of Wisdom represents the unification of the left
and right brain hemispheres, resulting in the emergence of True Intelligence (the
opening of the One Eye, depicted above the Middle Pillar), True Care (moral-emotional
maturity) and True Will (proper moral action). These three aspects of Consciousness become
One through the process of climbing the Ladder out of base consciousness (the checkered floor of
the Temple), to the state of Non-Duality, or the realization of Oneness. Notice that when
we head in the right direction (away from opposition and Duality and toward the Middle Pillar
of Unity), we are traveling East, toward the dawn and the Light of the Creator,
represented by the All-Seeing Eye. True Care is the Key, symbolically shown dangling by
a thread tied to the Ladder. To receive the Key, we must symbolically become the Green
Initiate at the Middle of the Tracing Board. Green is the symbolic color of Balance,
Harmony with Nature, and Love/Care. This is why the creators of American money
made it green and called it the One Eye (Mon-Ey = One Eye). It is presented as a proxy for
Balance and Love. This is one reason why money is so highly desired, even though it can
never bring either Balance or Love. The REAL One Eye lies at the center of our minds
and hearts, and if we climb the Ladder and use the Key, we can unlock the Door (the Sun/
Star Gate) to the realm of the Creator (Enlightenment).

With the understanding of this powerful symbolism in

mind, let’s take another look at the Reverse of the Great
Seal in Figure 9. The Illuminated All-Seeing Eye,
represents the Realm of the Creator, a paradigm
shift into Enlightenment. But there is a building
project underway, that - if completed - will literally
block access to that realm and shut out the Light
of the Creator. This “work” is done with Stone.
The bricks represent something hard, unyielding,
unchanging. It is not fertile ground. It can only
take one form (uniform). It is brittle, not malleable.
Bricks were once clay, which can take many forms and is
capable of change, but it then became hardened
(programmed) by too much sun (all male/Yang

plus the 12 Houses of the Zodiac). These symbolic bricks in the pyramid of stone are our
“blocks,” or barriers to the Light. We must remove these
blocks to let the fullness of the Light into our minds and
hearts. This idea is symbolically conferred in the 13
“Illuminated” Degrees of Freemasonry. Moreover, these
“blocks” are being used to complete the creation of the
Blade, the male-dominator world of control.
This world will look like Figure 10 when completed.
The Masters of this New World will be a Hidden
Elite with all the “light,” or knowledge and power,
and the people of this world will be kept in the
Darkness of ignorance, an unyielding “stone”
structure, forever unable to be changed - a prison for
souls. The name of this “Great Work” is inscribed on
the banner beneath the pyramid - “Novus Ordo
Seclorum” - the New World Order. This is the

But there is
another Great
Work that is being done. This is the New World
Order of Truth, Love and Freedom that will be
built with Light (Figure 11). It will be built through
a process whereby each individual that comprises it
becomes enlightened to the fact that they are a
powerful co-creator with the Divine, and they
accept the responsibility that comes with the
understanding that each one of us is a Builder of
the collective human experience. This involves
removing the “blocks,” or barriers to the Light.
When we do this successfully, the Light joins with

Seal, there is also hidden geometrical and numeric
symbolism. We see that both forms of Masonry (building/creating) are encoded through
the hidden word MASON (Figure 12). The inverted pentagram is a symbol of dark
occultism, representing the elevation of the material world (the four points representing
the elements of earth, air, water and fire), and the suppression of spiritual awareness,
the fifth element of Ether or Spirit (represented by the fifth point of the star being thrust
downward). Connecting the letters of the anagram for MASON creates an inverted pentagram,

symbolizing that the Dark New World Order will only be built through the destruction of
spiritual awareness throughout the world. Conversely, when we join these letters using the
Seal of Solomon, or six-pointed star, the All-Seeing Eye, or Light of the Creator is in the
most prominent position, and is symbolically upheld by the Sacred Feminine Chalice of
True Care.

Numerological symbolism can be seen in the Great Seal by applying an occult

technique known as Gematria to the letters MDCCLXXVI at the base of the pyramid.
These are Roman numerals which represent the year 1776, a highly symbolic date on two
different levels. 1776 was the year the Declaration of Independence was signed in
Philadelphia (the symbolic beginning of our Great Work). It was also the year the occult Order
known as the Illuminati (“Illuminated Ones”) officially formulated its long-term plans for the
covert infiltration and takeover of institutionalized structures throughout the world (the
beginning of their Great Work). Once again, DUAL symbolic significance is displayed.
 Gematria is a form of occult numerology which combines Geometry and
Mathematics, or shape and number. Two main concepts must be grasped to understand
how Gematria works. The first is that numbers are used to represent concepts, so
equivalent numbers represent equivalent ideas. The second is that single digits that
comprise numbers may be added together to “simplify” their values.

Placing the given Roman numeral values (MDCCLXXVI) around the given shape (the
pyramid), with one letter at each vertex of the pyramid (requiring 3), results in the following:

M=1000 C=100 X=10

D=500 C=100 L=50 X=10 V=5 I=1

Adding the values at the tops of the pyramids, then those at the bases, results in the following:

1110 777

666 666
 The reason that 1110 and 777 are equivalent in Gematria is because they both
“simplify” to the same value. Adding the digits of the number 1110 gives us 3. Adding the
digits of 777 gives us 21, which also “simplifies” to 3. Therefore, in Gematria, 1110 and 777
are equivalent and may be substituted for each other. More importantly, a very significant
symbolic idea is now conveyed by this hidden encoding. 777 (a variant of 1776), resulting at the
apex of the pyramid, is the number which represents, in many mystical traditions, the
concept of being like the Divine (the All-Seeing Eye). The three 7’s represent being
complete, or unified, in Thought, Emotion and Action - or in other words, an
Enlightened or Awakened being, embodying the Light of the Creator, or Christ
Consciousness. Conversely, the number 666, which resulted at the base of the pyramid
of stone (the prison of the soul), represents the Beast, or being trapped in “stone” - base
consciousness - failure in Thought (Ignorance), failure in Emotion (Apathy), and failure in
right Action (Laziness/Cowardice).

In performing the True Great Work, our task is to transcend the base instincts of
ignorance, apathy, and laziness, and to transmute them through the Balance of
Masculine-Feminine Energies and the Power of Will - to create Holistic Intelligence,
True Care, and Right Moral Action. Only then do we become non-dual beings. Only then
can we truly UNITE our thoughts, emotions, and actions such that they are not in opposition
with each other. And only then will the Three Become One, within each of us. This is the
Way to a World of Truth, Love and Freedom - if, indeed, that is the New World we choose
to build.
