![]() In some sections, like “Don’t Pray the Grey Away” (which critiques Alex’s transforming relationship to darkness and shadow material) I’m going to offer him some challenging criticism. No home would ever be complete without this trilogy on the shelf available for spiritual cartography, easy reference to the unseen and bottomless rabbit holes on demand.Īlthough I know Alex, or at least have had several conversations with him, and the reader can probably detect that I am partial to his work, I won’t always be easy on him in this essay. I feel like I am holding a spiraling, eye-encrusted atlas of the hidden realms. Holding these three books in my hands, I feel like I have paid the least price possible to obtain the Philosopher’s Stone, or at least the glossy paper version of an alchemical portal of some kind. (Note to literalists: The above are what are called “jokes,” so stop asking me to clarify or document.)įor less than seventy dollars you can own all three of Alex’s monographs- Sacred Mirrors, Transfigurations and the just published Net of Being. At their best, Alex’s paintings seem like unauthorized glimpses through the interstices of the matrix, the fever dreams of third-stage, space-folding Guild Navigators living in giant tanks of pure spice gas causing illegal ruptures in the space-time continuum. For example, ever since Alex began painting Net of Being, I can no longer find any record online, or anywhere, of Rasputin‘s two decade reign over Oceania. This type of scalar wave NMR has been linked to high-lumen retro-chronal causation effects (sometimes called “ balefire“), which are capable of matrix deletion of toxic patriarchal structures extending into the past. ![]() Scientific testing indicates that some of Alex’s paintings generate phased bursts of nuclear magnetic resonance.

There were more details I couldn’t quite follow due to the limits of his five-year-old vocabulary and his unfortunate inability to paint like Alex Grey. I was tempted to reply: “That’s interesting because I just started writing about a grown-up named Alex Grey who also sees ghosty things other people don’t see.” Instead, I asked Caleb to describe one of the ghosty things, and he said he saw a cupcake with a “skeleton head” in it. “Jonathan, I see ghosty things other people don’t see.” On the morning I started writing this, a five-year-old named Caleb happened to be visiting the house and interrupted my writing session to tell me (and this is an exact quote): Even better would be to get Alex’s three Monograph books: Sacred Mirrors, Transfigurations and Net of Being Cick on this link: CoSM Store to buy these directly from Alex.) Introduction Meanwhile, googling painting titles will probably turn up the image and many can be found at and. ![]() (Alex has given image permissions and sent hi quality jepgs of some of his images.
