LIFE

• WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT; ISN’T IT STRANGE TO BE ALIVE?

• IF NOT – REFLECT ON IT!

VISIONARY ARTISTS

• EMISSARIES BETWEEN THE INEFFABLE AND THE MATERIAL WORLD

• THEIR ART SPEAKS TO BOTH THE DEEPEST AND HIGHEST DIMENSIONS OF OUR BEING

• INSPIRE US TO LOOK BEYOND THE VEIL OF CULTURAL AND LINGUSITIC LIMITS

• MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE GROWING THE SEED OF EVOLVING CONSCIOUSNESS WITHIN

VISIONARY ARTISTS

• THEY ADDRESS THE PERENNIAL QUESTION • DOES MATTER COME FROM CONSCIOUSNESS

OR DOES CONSCIOUSNESS COME FROM MATTER?

VISIONARY ART

• THERE ARE SOME BRILLIANT VISIONARY ARTISTS ILLUMINATING THE WAY FOR US AT THIS IMPORTANT AND CRITICAL JUNCTURE IN HUMAN AFFAIRS

ALEX GREY - TRANSFIGURATIONS

ALEX GREY

• “ART HAS A FUNCTION AND A MISSION TO INTERPRET THE WORLD, TO REVEAL THE CONDITION OF THE SOUL, TO ENCOURAGE OUR HIGHEST NATURE AND AWAKEN THE SPIRITUAL FACULTIES WITHIN EVERY INDIVIDUAL”

ALEX GREY (THE MISSION OF ART)

VISIONARY PLANTS

• ARE KEYS TO OPEN THE DOOR TO THE MYSTICAL DIMENSIONS OF CONSCIOUSNESS

• THEY NEED TO BE RECOGNISED AND HONOURED AS AN INFINITE SOURCE OF INSPIRATION AND ILLUMINATION FOR HUMANITY

• THE SO-CALLED ‘WAR ON DRUGS’ IS ACTUALLY A WAR ON OUR CONSCIOUSNESS!

AYAHUASCA VISIONS ‘LA AYAHUASCA Y LA CHACRUNA’ BY MITA LOZANO

AYAHUASCA VISIONS

“TIME AND SPACE APPEARS UNITED TO US, AND WE ARE A PART OF THEM, BUT AN ALTERNATE TIME AND SPACE ALSO EXISTS BEYOND OUR EVERYDAY EXPERIENCE WHICH WE CAN PERCEIVE THROUGH THE EYE OF AYAHUASCA”

MADRE AYAHUASCA

• “ ...Once, during an ayahuasca ceremony, a native came to me in a vision and told me to use my abilities as an artist to show 'my people' (Americans) the beauty of the Amazon, and also make them aware of its ongoing destruction.”

PABLO AMARINGO – ONDAS DE LA AYAHUASCA

ONDAS DE LA AYAHUASCA

Ayahuasca is one of the most remarkable gifts

from the plant realm as it contains chemicals identical to the neurotransmitters found in the human brain.

PABLO AMARINGO – LLULLO MACHACO

LLULLO MACHACO

The concept expressed in this painting is that

however our life unfolds and whatever our destiny might be, we are all born in absolute perfection. We are innocent when we come into the world and have no guile or deceits.

A BIT DIFFERENT THAN ‘ORIGINAL SIN’
