It was adopted by the Masons as a graphical representation of the existence of a divine being or God, a pre-requisite of Masonic membership is the acceptance of a divine being.
It originated in antiquity as a symbol of "The Eye Of Horus" as the all powerful in Egypt that see's everything.
It's use on the Great Seal came about 14 years before it's use by masonic lodges and not afterwards as some believe.
The same representation is used on US banknotes to again define the existence of a divine being, much the same way as a US banknote contains the legend "In God We Trust".
The full symbol has an extra 6 lines emanating from the three sides of the Pyramid to represent the Holy Trinity.
It's use in films and TV shows is to do exactly what it IS doing, it generates interest and sales based on wild theories that everything is controlled by the Lodges and / or Masons in general. A lot of the miss-information about the Lodges is based in speculation that rarely if ever qualifies as the most basic of theory (Theory must be testable to qualify, wild non testable statements cannot be proved or dis-proved if they are not testable).
Then again..."That's just the sort of thing a Mason would say to cover up the new world order and their secret plans"
When I joined it was made clear that an organisation with secrets is not a secret organisation
This weeks biggest Masonic secret? next week at the lodge we are having Roast Lamb and not Beef for evening dinner but don't tell anybody as it's meant to be a surprise for the brothers.
cheers
