Meaning 2: Interactions Between the 3 Levels of Meaning

The Illuminati





The representational level of the photo merely shows a five dollar bill that has been folded, but there are a few different messages that are symbols of secret ideas and meanings.  If you have never heard of the alleged secret society called the illuminati then you could not recognize the clues in this photo that symbolize what they believe.

The abstraction of the five dollar bill that has been divided into three different folds has converted the words The United States of America into the word Satan to express the group’s devotion to Satanic followings.  The number five signifies the number of founding members of the original Bavarian Illuminati in 1776.

What is symbolic about the money being in the photo is the fact that the idea behind the illuminati is that they pledged their alliance to Satan in exchange for wealth and fame.  Many people believe that a lot of today’s most distinguished celebrities are members of the group.  Triangles have also been suspected to be symbols of their group.
