When we gaze into the eyes of our beloved, we're staring into the eyes of a sacred mirror, and we recognize our oneness.
Alex Grey
Image
It is the prayer of my innermost being to realize my supreme identity in the liberated play of consciousness, the Vast Expanse. Now is the moment, Here is the place of Liberation.

Image
I will always support legalization of the entheogens, which are, without a doubt, the most important and the most grossly misunderstood medicines on earth.
Alex Grey
Image
A work of visionary art can shock a person out of their normal thinking patterns and help them to see the world in a new way, helping them to transfigure their perception of reality. Obviously, it's only one of many potential catalysts to healing and transformation, but I think it can be a significant one.

The creative principle is less about dogma and more about opening ourselves to the evolution of consciousness.
Alex Grey
Image
Artists are most themselves when they are out of their minds, transcending the ego skirmishes of conceptual thought, and intuitively relinquishing control to the greater Creator
Alex Grey
Image
I think that that's why artists make art - it is difficult to put into words unless you are a poet. What it takes is being open to the flow of universal creativity. The Zen artists knew this.

I would like my art to be about the possibility that each of us has to realize our connectedness with this great Spirit, whatever you want to name it, our inherent Buddha nature, Christ consciousness, primordial reality, the ground of being, God. Whether you want to go for a personal or impersonal perception of Spirit, is up to the individual.

Enlightenment is not so much a hard-won achievement, much less a creation, but instead is deep relaxation and recovery of our natural condition. You come to see the evolution of the soul, the soul's journey, as a realization of what has always been there in the first place.

An angel once told me, The inevitable consequence of love is the building of Temples.
Alex Grey
Image
Be an artist of consciousness. Your picture of reality is your most important creation. Make it powerfully profoundly beautiful.

Image
Share your presence with others, no boundaries, completely, openly, lovingly. Love is what makes us alive.
Alex Grey
Image
Share your presence with others, no boundaries, completely, openly, lovingly. Love is what makes us alive, that is why we feel so alive when we love. Service is being available to love. Life is the combustion of love. That we love ourselves here, that is the true magnificence in the mountains of being.
Alex Grey
Image
Art can be a medium for people to discover universal spirit, with imagery not isolated to one particular wisdom path, but pointing to the underlying truth that they all transmit.
Alex Grey
Image
In a society that tries to standardize thinking, individuality is not highly prized.
Alex Grey
Image
To bare our souls is all we ask, to give all we have to life and the beings surrounding us. Here the nature spirits are intense and we appreciate them, make offerings to them - these nature spirits who call us here - sealing our fate with each other, celebrating our love.

Image
The purpose of truly transcendent art is to express something you are not yet, but something that you can become.
Alex Grey
Image
When artists give form to revelation, their art can advance, deepen and potentially transform the consciousness of their community.
Alex Grey
Image
It is very easy to take for granted the phenomenon that we are each alive, but we must try not to.

You are one with the same force that provides the spiral arms of the galaxy. That universal creativity. It's also what you are as well. And when the mystic eye is open and sees that, a person is forever changed !
