ReviewsMr. Grey's paintings, as detailed and anatomically accurate as medical illustrations, present man as an archetypal being struggling toward cosmic unity--Grey's vision of a flawed but perfectible mankind stands as an antidote to the cynicism and spiritual malaise prevalent in much contemporary art., The color plates are of exceptional quality depicting both human and spiritual forms in a variety of intriguing and thought-provoking ways., The majority of Grey's recent work depict spiritual/energetic systems--the sacred and esoteric symbolism of the body and the forces that define its living field of energy., Mr. Grey's paintings, as detailed and anatomically accurate as medical illustrations, present man as an archetypal being struggling toward cosmic unity...Grey's vision of a flawed but perfectable mankind stands as an antidote to the cynicism and spiritual malaise prevalent in much contemporary art., These are extraordinary works, exquisitely reproduced. Some people will be illuminated and transformed in the process of viewing. I found them compelling., The majority of Grey's recent work depict spiritual/energetic systems--the sacred and  esoteric symbolism of the body and the forces that define its living field of energy.
Table Of ContentAcknowledgments Preface In the Eye of the Artist: Art and the Perennial Philosophy - Ken Wilber Through Darkness to Light: The Art Path of Alex Grey - Carlo McCormick The Sacred Mirror - Alex Grey Sacred Mirrors - The Plates Progress of the Soul Endnotes
SynopsisThis unique series of paintings takes the viewer on a graphic, visionary journey through the physical, metaphysical, and spiritual anatomy of the self. From anatomically correct rendering of the body systems, Grey moves to the spiritual/energetic systems with such images as "Universal Mind Lattice," envisioning the sacred and esoteric symbolism of the body and the forces that define its living field of energy. Includes essays on the significance of Grey's work by Ken Wilber, the eminent transpersonal psychologist, and by the noted New York art critic, Carlo McCormick.

  • The gift that keeps on giving. Your Soul will soar.

    If you're a light worker , the visual activations remind you that we are so much more than our struggling human selves'. These works of art brought tears to my eyes. If you love art, you can appreciate the artist's labors of love. Thank you so much, Agape

  • Profound.

    An incredible book. Not only are the plates themselves immensely profound, the story of Alex's journey through his explorations of the polarities of existence to arrive at his vision of the sacred interconnectedness of all things is just as mesmerizing. Too beautiful. Transformative.
