Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.

― Frank Herbert

Our life is composed greatly of dreams, from the unconscious, and they must be brought into connection with action. They must be woven together.

― Anaïs Nin

Holy Fire by Alex Grey

Overloaded by ecstasy and the holy fire of God-consciousness, the pilgrim’s bodily identity bursts open and is consumed in the transcendental Sun. His dead phallus unites with काली Kali, the Dark Mother of Time, Birth, and Destruction in a tantric purification rite. The dark Mother reveals the spiritual core of the pilgrim as a hermaphroditic divine mutant with clarified nondual awareness, a soul bird, an angel or phoenix bestowing gift waves from an open heart.
