More quotes by Alex Grey
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.
Alex Grey
When artists give form to revelation, their art can advance, deepen and potentially transform the consciousness of their community.
Alex Grey
Realism and Naturalism rely mostly on the eye of the flesh. Abstract, conceptual and surrealistic art rely mostly on the eye of the mind. Great works of art rely on the eye of contemplation, the eye of the spirit.
Alex Grey
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.
Alex Grey
The good that binds us is Love, it comes from our Soul, it flows through our center, and connects us with everything.
Alex Grey
Visionary art sure has played a vital role in my own soul's journey, and I would say it's been important for many artists and viewers throughout history. Visionary art is one of the primary ways that human contact with higher subtle dimensions gets translated into our communally shared physical dimension.
Alex Grey
The infinite vibratory levels, the dimensions of interconnectedness are without end. There is nothing independent. All beings and things are residents in your awareness.
Alex Grey
The web of life, love, suffering and death unites all beings.
Alex Grey
Folks who are alive today need to wake up and do what they can to stop abusing the planet, and find ways to preserve the web of life. That's where the soul is headed. It is time for us to become wounded healers.
Alex Grey
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
In a society that tries to standardize thinking, individuality is not highly prized.
Alex Grey
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
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.
Alex Grey
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.
Alex Grey
I acknowledge the privilege of being alive in a human body at this moment, endowed with senses, memories, emotions, thoughts, and the space of mind in its wisdom aspect.
Alex Grey
I felt I had dissolved into a pure energy state and become one with the magnetic field surrounding the earth
Alex Grey
Be an artist of consciousness. Your picture of reality is your most important creation. Make it powerfully profoundly beautiful.
Alex Grey
Life is a wave of creative consciousness rippling through space and time that we have the honor of aesthetically surfing.
Alex Grey
It is very easy to take for granted the phenomenon that we are each alive, but we must try not to.
Alex Grey
The creative principle is less about dogma and more about opening ourselves to the evolution of consciousness.
