Sacred Mirrors: The Visionary Art of Alex Grey

by Alex Grey, Ken Wilber, Carlo McCormick · 1990

+ Want to read

This unique series of paintings takes the viewer on a graphic, visionary journey through the physical, metaphysical, and spiritual anatomy of the self. From anatomically correct rendering of the body systems, Grey moves to the spiritual/energetic systems with such images as "Universal Mind Lattice," envisioning the sacred and esoteric symbolism of the body and the forces that define its living field of energy.
