Abstract

The All Seeing Eye? Did you know that you are probably a believer in the All Seeing Eye? The odds are that I’m right—why? Well, the bulk of mainstream vision literature blindly relies on the All Seeing Eye. It is written all over papers, albeit between the lines. Understandably so, for scientists resent being exposed as ‘believers’. The All Seeing Eye concept is inconsistent, and at odds with empirical scientific facts, as is painfully obvious when made explicit. But alternatives are sadly lacking. Small wonder it remains implicit ‘background’ (Searle, 1985). The All Seeing Eye has been with us since the dawn of time. ‘God’s Eye’ in churches reminds youngsters that no sin goes unpunished.(1) The ‘Eye of Providence’ appears in the Great Seal of the United States,(2) and on the dollar bill. The All Seeing Eye can perhaps be traced to the Eye of Horus of Egyptian mythology. In Hinduism it appears as the ‘third eye’ of Shiva.
