I have loved Alex Grey's work ever since I was blessed enough to have come across his book, the Sacred Mirrors. In that magnificent book are several paintings that "speak" volumes about the spirit, the soul, and the inevitable evolution of the being that is human. I use it in a lot of the classes that I give because there is something about Alex Grey's art that really knocks things into place regarding the Truth that we are spiritual beings now.

Of course, there are those people who don't want you to think that this is true. They want you to think that you were created out of sin...that you're anything but Love, Life, and Light and when I first "got on" this spiritual path, I used to try and defend my belief as to why we were primarily spiritual, but now I don't care. People are entitled to their delusions. Besides, I don't believe that we are all on a spiritual journey, any more....

I know we're on one.

This DVD really goes straight into the mind, down into the heart, straight into the soul. After watching this, you actually remember that your Source is the Great Light...that you are within this Light now...that you are this Light. The only reason why most of us have a hard time accepting this is because we have a vested interest in these identities that we created. We forget that our personalities, our behaviors, our egos have been totally manufactured, but our True Identity was created in the "beginning". When God said, "Let there be Light..." You and I were born with everything else. We're One with God now. Instead of balking at this, try and get silent within yourself...try for one hour just breathing in and breathing out without your ego trying to intrude upon your attention to your breathing...forget the hour, try just five minutes of clear, intentional breathing in and breathing out...put a dent, a break in the cycle of thinking that you're just this clod of biodigradable matter. You are Spirit. You are Life. You are what you call God. You are God's breakthrough. You are an Inlet as well as an outlet to all that is Holy...

This DVD is a must for your transformation toolkit. I really can't put into words how valuable it truly is...but know that behind these words is the Same Living Spirit that guided us to being here and now with each other...

Peace & Blessings,

If sacred art is new to you, or you're already familar with Alex Grey's work, Artmind is an essential foundation to your library. Inspired by a health expert (Psychiatrist), Artmind and two of Alex's books (Sacred Mirrors and Transfigurations) are used as "assistance" for me to describe different dimensions of my healing process that are difficult to put into words during my sessions. Artmind is fascinating in that Alex reveals intimate details about how he became a visionary artist, and opens his heart as a renowned teacher to educate the viewer about different spiritual traditions and how sacred art can empower your body's innate healing processes. Also included in Artmind is a gallery of Alex's paintings that the film maker displays with sensational animation design and music. When watched carefully, "magic moments" happen, where the room fills with a luminous light, and an effable Presence.

I thank Alex, and his wife Allyson, for having the courage to be initiated into sacred art by participating in years of research, and safely unveiling it to the world in a co-creative process, which comes from a place of peace and light that flow through them.

What an elegant and eloquent video production! I have been a fan of Alex Grey's work for many years. From the first time I saw his paintings, I was inspired by the amazing level of insight he demonstrates in his work and the manner in which he opens the 'doors of our perception' into more subtle levels of 'seeing'. Working in the healing and performing arts, I found his paintings to be of great assistance in helping my clients and students to perceive and understand the nature and structure of the human energy field. Therefore, I was thrilled to discover this gem of a video, for within it we not only see his remarkable paintings, but also hear him speak about his life, his influences and his unique perspective on reality. It was wonderful to see him in his studio, watch how he meticulously works on the creation of a new work of art and see pictures of his past performance art pieces. But what struck me the most was the excellent combination of his thoughts with his images. In this intelligent and inspirational interview, Alex Grey revealed to me that he possesses a level of sensitivity, fearlessness, and compassion that is the trademark of a true artist. Artmind confirms that Alex Grey is not only one of the greatest artists of our age but is a genuine 'visionary' in the highest sense of the word.

This DVD is beautiful. The high quality slow-zoom slideshow with the inspiring commentary of the artist was absolutely captivating.


Highly recommended!

This video has been a regular form of sharing with guests whom I share the common bond of spiritual discussion. Through sharing it, the doorway to the mystery--to the "What more is there to life?" question--is given a platform for deeper probing by creating a shared mystic experience, right there in our very own living room! First, the incredible intricacy of the art work promotes a feeling of wonder in the accomplishment of it alone. Beyond that, it is the ENERGETICS the art so exquisitely communicates that produces a feeling of profound truth revealed. Freely, openly, are these mystery teachings shared for all who care to explore. I say, "Open the door!"

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.

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!

A visual treat and intimate interview. Sacred Art truley capures the essence of the artist. A Glimpse into the creation process and an opportunity to witness phenonomal Artwork in the making.

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'.

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.
