What symbolism lies behind the eye of xaxaar? Same as the flaming eye, but with an upgraded design? Maybe Alex Grey is the only one with an answer too that, but it's sure as hell one good piece of art.

I have thought they are about the same thing, just to fit 10k theme.

actually, by reading the fluxerpretation, it makes more sense. The eye of xaxaar is uncaring and cold. Suits the 10kd.

Almost like the eyes would be the total opposite of each other.

There isn't any, just a different design.

You're a fucking moron. Did I once say that his artwork has no symbolic references? No. All I'm saying is the difference between the two eyes as shown in the pictures has no symbolic meaning to it. You sure don't listen very well do you?

Oh i thought you answered the TWO questions in logical order, in a format of

first answer, second answer



Though I still think you are funny, not in an evil way, do not take it seriously. It is just the way you answer; so straight and there is this nice bit of hostility mixed too. There is something honest in this straight-forward way of answering.

The soul is the window to your eyeballs.
Guess it's better to have an uncaring cold eye, than twitchy paranoia eyes.

The flaming eye represents consciousness, hence an eye appearing on anything is like coinciding consciousness with that thing. For example, the eye on the hand represents compassion and empathy. However, the eye of XAXAAR is a far different eye, although it still represents some form of consciousness. I am the fool, therefore I cannot attribute what exactly XAXAAR is, but in my shallow experience with the occult, it represents an entity guarding the abyss. Look up the Lustmord album "The Monstrous Soul", there you'll find a similar theme running through the names of the songs. The first being IXAXAAR. Then later, the Daathian doorway. Daath in the tree of life represents the abyss between the first three sephiroth and the rest of the spheres. Which means there's a large nothingness behind and between your knowledge and your understanding of that knowledge. Someone more learned in the arts might want to correct me so please feel free to, but I haven't seen one person on here talking about the real meaning behind XAXAAR.

The Eye of Xaxaar could symbolize ego perception that divides and cuts in two, as indicated by the ‘blades’ emanating from it. The eye is also half closed as if expressing contempt.

The iris has a divided image within it, yet in its reflection is a bright light joining the two images.

Maybe the Light is about to transform the dividing Eye of Xaxaar into the illuminating Flaming Eye that sees ALL IS ONE.

I don't think the eye seems hostile or contemptfull in anyway. Where do you get that from?

The way I see it the half closed eye lid makes the gaze more hypnotic and apathetic. Like it's observing me through a haze of half-slumber.

The ‘blade’ eyelids are pulled tight around the eye, which is a characteristic of the facial expression of contempt.

I see the Eye of Xaxaar as a symbol of the dividing, ego perspective of the eye staring at the TV in Vicarious. The ego is hostile and contemptuous. Indeed, it is also apathetic, hypnotized and in a haze.

I have a concert t-shirt (a $10 parking lot deal) with two Eyes of Xaxaar and the iris is red and orange so it looks like the eyes are glowing. I wore it to a friend’s party one night and some drunk guy came up to me and accused my breasts of giving him the 'evil eyes'.

It’s all a matter of perspective and what we’re projecting. The Xaxaar Eyes on the cover art can be perceived on one or two faces.

Isn't this "eye of Xaxaar" only just a face-detail on the Net of Being? No more, no less?

no, really... zen IS nothing...emptyness...
the "usability" of something is defined by its empytness.. like the wheel, which would not operate without the hole where you put the axis in... or the glass that gets it usablility through its emptyness which enables you to pour something in it. or a chair...

zens' root is in the universal emptyness.
when you project something that you "believe" in it, you just project you ego into something that is empy, which is wrong because you are also empty, therefore theres nothing to project in the first place. but when you realize, and truly expirience the emtyness in you (but not in a nihilistic way !!), and in everything else (just like a mirror), you realize that everything is ultimately one...

that's how i interpret zen...
but in the end it's just living...only living...:)

zens' root is in the universal emptyness.
when you project something that you "believe" in it, you just project you ego into something that is empy, which is wrong because you are also empty, therefore theres nothing to project in the first place. but when you realize, and truly expirience the emtyness in you (but not in a nihilistic way !!), and in everything else (just like a mirror), you realize that everything is ultimately one...

that's how i interpret zen...
but in the end it's just living...only living...:)
Um, in case you didn't catch up to the 21st century....wheels do not require holes to operate.

okok, i totally get what you mean... but, the questions is: what's the purpose of a wheel that just, well, rolls somewhere? ;)
you "somehow" have to get something out of the spin-momentum...you know what i mean?
and in the end i just meant that symbolically, because everything that spins does that around a "dead"/still/empty(?) central point, doesn't it?

Zen is nothing and also something.

It’s the practice of perceiving emptiness... That is until a reverse illumination of the Mind (an inner Big Crunch) impels perceiver and perceived back to the zero of all possibilities.

The eyes are different. One is on a face the other is just floating. Maybe it is the seeing-subject being seen by the object, if they were to ever meet up. The Eye of xaxaar seems wise and powerful and the flaming eye seems like a helper of some sort to me. Then again maybe not, I'm agnostic.

I though i would throw up my knowledge on this subject, "The abyss of knowledge", all knowledge is illusory and subject to the context of which it is being observed. in essence Lying isn't evil if it saves someones life, stealing isn't evil if your are starving and hungry, Killing isn't evil again if it is saving someone life, THE eye isn't uncaring, its "non judging", for judgments and conditions result in suffering, again back to the abyss Knowledge is an abyss because all phenomenon are inherently empty, In other words they don't exist from there own side as self sufficient, they all relies on the interdependence of other phenomenon, AND THE OBSERVATION of that phenomenon,
its the eye of the observer that make the assertions of the object it is seeing. But on the higher consciousness the eyes sees the truth of the inherent voidness of assertions

One mans trash is another mans treasure.

This eye is Representative of the Hexecontalithos of the Choronzonic current.

Chronzon is an occult name of Entropy and the guardian of the abyss of knowledge.
