Visualize the Energy Field
Artwork accomplishes more than the eye can see, it motivates intentions, and activates emotional ideas into action. It all started with cave paintings and has continued to escalate from those days forward.So we hear about this energy field and what can become accomplished by utilizing its energy, but now with this DVD- you can see what it may look like. This is very helpful for everyone-- you have to have some sense of what it may look like in order to take those next important steps...Altering Reality!A visual effect of Quantum energies, how much more motivating can artwork become?Oh he didn't...Did he really create such a large painting of the energy grid?Yeap, he sure did, it's all out in the open now, and I agree with what he said, he's been getting all kinds of responses from others who claim they saw the same thing he did in this re-creation of a vision.When you think of the word "Sacred", don't consider it as ancient artifacts, change your definition to encompass the sacred of the here-and-now. His paintings are a source that is removing the dust from the once hidden knowledge that is now resurfacing, and if you want to see what it looks like, get this DVD!

Astounding level of creativity
I really enjoy viewing this particular DVD. The detail of the paintings is amazing. Fun piece to review immediately before taking an Anatomy class - helped me out a bit. I watch the DVD after a stressful day at work and find it incredibly soothing. Yes....Alex has been inspired via LSD trips but art is art, no matter how you interpret where his particular gift arose from. Worth every penny spent on it. There are wall posters available via the internet as well that are absolutely breathtaking. I can feel the energy of the paintings every time I view his work. The word I would use to describe Alex Grey's artistic style would be 'profound'.

Amazing Artwork
For anyone familiar with Alex Grey's inspiring images and the messages encoded in them, this is a wonderful way to experience his artwork and hear him speak on his process as an artist. Somehow, the DVD presentation of those images appear almost animated (I'm sure this is an optical illusion created by the contrasts of the rich colors, and multi-dimensional-ness of his work, but WHAT A TRIP!) I'm so glad that Sacred Mysteries Productions has made this available to the public...I only wish it were longer than it's 79 minutes running time, but those are well worth the price of admission. I have shared with many friends.

Engrossing and Beautiful
I was somewhat familiar with Mr. Gray's work before viewing this DVD. I found it a great experience to become more familiar with Mr. Gray's art and commentaries. Mr. Gray's technical skills seem finely tuned from a lifetime of creating his art. I think he can't be considered a "master artist" in the technical sense. His art transcends realities. What makes him unique is his prospective" modern day thinking modality brought forward to a plane full of light and life.

content may be inappropriate for some
I very much enjoy art and this is uplifting and beautiful. It is nice to hear about the process of the artist. Part of his process involves the use of illegal drugs though and therefore the content may not be suitable for certain families with impressionable and curious pre-teens and teens or young adults.

art for the 21st century
the artwork of alex gray is finely crafted and conceptually intruiging. as an art teacher i was interested to share his art with my students. thankfully they are college level artists so the references to lsd and "tripping" were amusing to some yet I did have to make a disclaimer to state this was not the opinion of the teacher!
