GALLERY

Revealing the interwoven energies of body and soul, love and spirit that illuminate the core of each being, Alex Grey ʼs myst ic paint ings art iculate the realms of consciousness encountered during visits to entheogenic heaven worlds. His painting Net of Being--inspired by a blazing vision of an infinite grid of Godheads during an ayahuasca journey. Net of Being is one of many images Grey has created that have resulted in a chain reaction of uses-- f rom apparel and jewelry to tattoos and music videos--embedding these iconic works into our cultureʼs living Net of Being.

The Shulgins and their Alchemical Angels

The book explores how the mystical experience expressed in Alex Greyʼs work opens a new understanding of our shared consciousness and unveils the deep influence art can have on cultural evolution. The narrative progresses through a successive expansion of identity--from the self, to self and beloved, to self and community, world spirit, and cosmic consciousness, where bodies are transparent to galactic energies. Present ing over 200 images, inc lud ing many never-before-reproduced paintings as well as masterworks such as St. Albert and the LSD Revelation Revolution and Godself, the book also documents performance art, live-painting on stage throughout the world, and the “social sculpture” called CoSM, Chapel of Sacred Mirrors, that Grey cofounded with his wife and creative collaborator, artist Allyson Grey.

My big project right now is building Entheon, where the portrait

paintings will be displayed. At CoSM, Entheon is the Sanctuary of Visionary Art now under construction.  "Entheon" refers to "a place to discover the God within." The first exhibition at Entheon will be the art of  Alex Grey including all twenty-one Sacred Mirrors. When the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors is built, [target date 2020] the Sacred Mirrors and other works will be installed there and Entheon will feature visionary creativity by many artists from around the world.  Entheon will be a three story public structure complete with an elevator, bathrooms, parking, a paved road with lighting...  New technologies in 3D modeling and printing will be utilized to create the sculptural elements of this architectural design.  Entheon will be an enduring legacy manifested through the contributions of visionaries from all over the globe, a sacred site supported by worldspirit.   We ask for support and assistance of all kinds from the community. If visionary art has made a difference in your life, we urge you to support CoSM by joining us for events, purchasing CoSM products, becoming a member, volunteering and by making a donation to perpetuate CoSM.

Journey

Eve (foreground), Sophia (background)

The beautiful images in this book, Adam

Reborn & Eve Restored: will deepen our understanding and appreciation of the story of Genesis. The depth and implication of this story restores to waking consciousness the tragic and beautiful love of Universal Adam

and his beloved Eve, the children of Sophia and Splendor. It is time to tell a better, more loving story of who we are, where we come from and why we are here.

"We are born of spontaneous creation which is the language of art, life and love. Like can only be known by like, human consciousness is an art form of infinite beauty and meaning. It is time to return home, to reclaim the library

of our ancient knowing and to tell the stories that heal and nourish generations. I like this version of being human better, and that's enough for me. This is my contribution, enjoy."  Leigh J McCloskey

Adam Reborn & Eve Restored

Lilith

The Great Mother Sophia arises from her depths of primordial beauty. Her belly reveals the face of the infant. Upon her chest is the blossoming flower of wisdom and from her breasts flows the milk of universes. Her crown is composed of the Nagas, the Great Serpent and Initiate. Together they arise as being, vitality and beauty. Her feet become the two fish of Pisces, between which turns the ideal seed of the Christ-Sophia planted to germinate over the last thousands of years

within the Piscean epoch of conflict and duality. To their right emerges the Aquarian seed and germ combining sperm and ovum, male and female equally and thus promising hope of life for the coming Age that will emerge from this darkness before the dawn of a world reborn. From the infant extends an umbilical serpent that connects to the vertical being emerging from within the birth opening above.

Sophia

EveFrom Sophiaʼs tears of wisdom and love,  her daughter, the i m m a c u l a t e E v e  a r i s e s uniquely into each of Adamʼs worlds.  Eve is the heart of Splendor ʼs garden, within worlds of time she is paradise, the center of being and the divine mirror of this earthly Adamʼs home which Adam and Eve call Eden.

Adam, universal man, and Eve, the embodiment of Sophia and source, spread into infinite horizons of their loving union becoming in each moment unique worlds and universes of boundless vision.

The First EveEve our primordial mother and the guardian of the grail stands on the right. At her feet the grail opens as a sphere containing interpenetrating chalices, mirroring the function of the heart.  The greater cruciform extends into the Christos emerging from the depths and fullness of Sophia. We look out upon the waters of the ancients and the eternal depths of our knowing, and re-enter the dimensions of our mythic origins.

Forbidden FruitThe Delicious Knowledge of Eve

The most recent evolution of the Hieroglyph of the Human Soul is the opening into the mirror. As in the story of Alice in Wonderland we find the environment now grows into a land beyond the mirror and the reflection unfolds mysteries beyond comprehension and worthy of our curiosity. Two ancient visages unfurl on either side, composed of the weave and membranes of flesh and the matrixes of the sacred DNA. Between them floats the mandala of I Am the Alpha & the Omega, the beginning and the end. In the background a birth

opening forms holding within its embrace the head of Kwan Yin between two Ionic Sphinxes. The mind above is returning to the sacred chalice and apple or womb of Eve below. The symbolism reveals that mind is returning to body, i.e. our deeper knowing of love, the act of c r e a t i o n a n d t h e a r t i s t r y o f consciousness is returning to conscious awareness and creative application. Note the Nagas (red cobras) also flank the opening into the mirror and reveal many mysteries to those in whom imagination and adventure still dwell.

Faces of the ancients upon the mirror.

Grail Chalice The Grail Chalice appears painted upon the spines of the books of all the worlds’ religions beginning with the ancient Greeks at the top left, forming the base of the pyramid and a right angle. The books then continue through all of the Abrahamic traditions both their esoteric and exoteric expressions. This reveals that the Grail of Wisdom is created and expressed by all of the various religious traditions and that their greater chalice of knowing is written upon their spines and cannot be known when only assumed to be within one tradition or system.

Close-up of Ancient emerging atop the ancient books of the Zohar.The Ancient appears as the apex at the top of the pyramid, emerging out of a birth opening. The pyramid is formed from the aspirations of the human adventure over untold numbers of years. It arises out of the chalice of wisdom and is formed by the union of opposites revealed by the Ancient from whose mouth an umbilical connection with cycles, pattern and knowing is expressed. He functions as the Magus of the eternal and is the revealer of cosmic origin. His role, function and expression comes from his innate inner relationship with the knowledge of seed, birth and the life impulse. His crown is a great scallop shell expressing that his intimacy of mind with true nature is a gift from the sacred feminine and Sophia. The top of the scallop opens as a Yoni. The mind of the ancient enjoys umbilical connection to the wings of grace and the knowing of the One. His wisdom is his vulnerability to and connection with the knowing of origin.

Close-up of cosmic seed and infant emerging atop books on Christian art & symbolism, its hand being painted on the spines of two different translations of the Bible.

The cosmic infant and seed forms the nadir of the chalice. It grows heavy and moves toward birth at the base of the grail. Floating above a dark fold in preparation of movement toward birth and fleshly entrance into a given world the infant experiences i tsel f as intimately connected with the entirety

of the journey of the grail, i.e. the human soul as it journeys through all of its religious ideas, histories and creative forms. Thus every infant contains the whole of the human expression and ensheaths itself with the knowing of all time and eternity. Its spine is formed of open eyes, suggesting universes of vision that compose the being we think of as ourselves. An eye opens at the top of the crown and forms an umbilical connection

Cosmic Seed

with deeper knowing that energetically enters and exits through the soft spot at the top of the infant’s skull. Its frontal brain has a droplet of unique origin and it looks out at its hand that tries to touch the seeming reality it is tied to through an umbilical connection with the world of the skin and senses.

The infant seed reveals the origin of being as beginning always in innocence and arises as the sap and root source within the tree of ancient gnosis at the heart of the grail. This seed awakens through excellence of purpose into full knowing expression as the artistry of

consciousness. It also reveals that to be human is to be born with two gravities. One gravity draws us out into the world of time, the other pulls equally inward toward realms of the imagination and t h e s p o n t a n e i t y o f o u r i n n e r multidimensional self. The reason that wisdom tradition and archetypal knowledge is so important is that it creates a superstructure of identity that transcends the merely psychological and restores the truth that human sentience a n d b e i n g i s a n a r t f o r m o f consciousness trying to re-member its origin and purpose.

Visage of the Christ Emerging in the Heart Center

Cosmic Christ emerging on the floor as the heart center (Grail) of the Hieroglyph of the Human Soul. The blind eye of the law (Father) and the open eye of the heart (Mother), bridging I think therefore I am with I love therefore I am. Love and thought, energy and form, lover and beloved, Christ-Sophia - Adam & Eve welcoming us home.

infiniteConsciousness

ImaginationDid you know that the brain doesn’t distinguish between what’s real and what isn’t? We can harness this “incapacity” and use it to visualize whatever we wish to achieve.

JoyExistence is an exclamation of sheer joy, the welling up of joyful creativity that requires neither cause nor reason.

While Ivan claims he heals no-one;

he merely helps people heal

themselves by the power of “Infinite

Consciousness”, his healing journey

reads like a book of miracles. He

m o d e s t l y c a l l s t h e m

“ordinarinesses”. Those “touched”

by him experience anything but

ordinariness. They have healed from

many diseases & ailments and many

continue seeing Ivan for ongoing

spiritual guidance, growth and

expansion of their consciousness.
