Alex Grey quotes
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
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.

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
The creative principle is less about dogma and more about opening ourselves to the evolution of consciousness.
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.

It was 1975. I had spent the year at the Boston Museum School doing some very bizarre performance works. The last one included going to the North Magnetic Pole and spending all of my money.

CREATING SACRED SPACE MIRRORS GOD'S CREATION. OUR CHALLENGE AS CO-CREATORS IS TO MIRROR GOD'S LOVE AND BEAUTY IN ALL OUR CREATIONS.

A universal spiritual art would be art that any person would recognize as having a spiritual intention. It could speak to the heart and soul of the individual and orient them toward the greater aspect of their own being, their interconnectedness with all life and the cosmos. A universal spiritual art would return the viewer to their own ultimate identity, which lies beyond representation, but can be pointed to when our inspired visions are brilliantly transmitted. The challenge to artists today is to integrate the vast history of art from as many cultures as possible, to reach deep inside themselves for their own personal insights into the transcendental and allow this to coalesce into the most powerful imagery possible.

Every artist who's really into their work disappears into the creative flow. This is akin to some of the concentration-oriented meditations of the various sacred traditions. Images come in all different ways. You can get visions when you're tripping on drugs, when you're dreaming or in a hypnogogic state before dropping off to sleep, while listening to music or even waiting for the subway.
Alex Grey
The twentieth-century Surrealists operated in a territory without clear moral order: a dreamship adrift in the ocean of the unconscious. ... The visions of the Surrealists help to define a dream realm where any bizarre juxtaposition is possible. A profound truth resides in such strangeness, for these visions can shock us into deepening our acknowledgement and appreciation of the Great Mystery.

Art can be a spiritual practice. Not all artists consider this to be true for them, but with the proper motivation and focus, it can be. A spiritual practice is an activity that enables you to develop the qualities of mental clarity, mindfulness of the moment, wisdom, compassion and access to revelations of higher mystic states of awareness. A contemplative method, such as yoga or meditation, will stabilize and assist in the progress of spiritual awareness. An artist's craft can become a contemplative method, and the creations may provide outward signs of an inner spiritual journey.

I worked as a medical illustrator for about ten years. It was not my career ambition; it was a way to finance my addiction to art and support my family. Medical illustration gave me the opportunity to investigate and portray the bodily systems in dramatic ways. Prior to my work as a medical illustrator, I prepared bodies at a medical-school morgue, which provided important training for understanding the fleeting nature of life. It also provided unforgettable studies into the iridescent, fibrous architecture that forms our physical body.
Alex Grey
Our minds are artists, always drawing lines. Making decisions, differentiating One thing from another, Calling it something. This is the way we know. This is how we think. We define by drawing the line.
Alex Grey
Embryonic artworks grow In the womb heart of the artists, Until the fever of making seizes their limbs, And they deliver their art through labors of love.
Alex Grey
Mystic Art affirms the holy mystery and the ideals of truth, goodness and beauty. No other artistic ideal can fulfill the longing soul like the creation and appreciation of relevant sacred art.
Alex Grey
Mystic Art is spirit expressed into matter. A mystic artist receives and transmits revelation, providing their art as a medium for messages from the divine matrix of Creation.
