Laffing is a coping mechanism. Much as when a dog is being beaten to death, it may grimace, often seen as if smiling, and wag it's tail. Horrible, but true. It depends on our background and how we are able to survive thru unbelievable pain and suffering. Children who are abused may use this skill to appease their tormentor. It is learned behavior on both parties. When someone laffs inappropriately, use compassion.

The laughter by the crowd is absolutely a nervous laughter, due to his shedding light upon very serious things. I mostly side with him.

Alex rolling his eyes at the audience clapping at the mention of him donating the apples used in a demonstration rather than throwing them away really sums up his good nature for me. It just shows how he doesn't even see something like that as praise worthy, but rather just the given right thing to do. nice :)

*WOW*. holy shit...I'm honestly kind of in shock right now. I just paused the video at *15:53*. About 4 years ago, I had the most awe-inspiring, poignant, mysterious, meaningful experience of my entire life. I had taken 5 grams of psilocybin mushrooms. About 1 hour into the experience, with eyes closed, I saw *_THIS_* same exact image...but in full 3D(it seemed to go into infinity). I'm not even kidding. I saw the *_exact_* same scene. Yet, this is the first time I've ever seen Alex's painting. I didn't even _know_ of Alex until yesterday. I'm seriously in shock. Did he and I see the same thing?? He said that painting was inspired by an Ayahuasca vision. I don't even know _what_ to think right now......

i think the brain holds onto images very well on a subconscious level. you may have seen the tool album cover at some point, maybe not. part of me is intrigued with the idea of a mass consciousness, that hallucinogenics bring us to some sort of shared cloud / zone. but i'm also curious if our brains are just wired similarly enough to produce the ballpark-same images / effects when we hallucinate. i think the universe winks at me enough when i ask it questions for there to be some sort of greater program.

He does not talk out of ego, but out of the soul that each of us have. I think the frankness of that which he speaks may turn some off, for they have simply not explored that aspect of reality. It is quite a profound truth to accept and witness, and I think Alex Grey has shared something to humanity that is not ready to be accepted. Perhaps in a couple of generations, humans will appreciate Alex Grey for that which he has contributed to humanity.

Fabricio Giampietro It seemed to me they mostly laughed (the adolescent titter) at the references to his pieces that were envisioned during psychedelic experiences. I sometimes feel that those who haven't done psychedelics think the validity of those experiences of less value than transcendent experiences in "reality." As Bob Marley said, "He who feels it, knows it." I met Alex and Allyson and even posed for a couple of his energy drawing classes. They are the real deal. Originators. Visionary.

@eeefox1

because at some points he is being humorous

I love that he's able to reach out to a crowd that doesn't see themselves as "sophisticated artsy types" and take them seriously. Someone complained here about the audience but in truth this is who he's trying to reach. He wants to reach everyday people with what he believes to be an important message and he knows they can grasp the things he wants to relate. If not for the common person then who is art for? without the common man art has no value.

It's amazing that he was able to explain each painting with so few words. I've been to his church CoSM in the Hudson Valley, and it is indeed a trippy place with a mushroom cafe (unfortunately it does not sell mushroom) to boot. Seeing his art up close, you realize the amount of work that goes into each piece. They provide a refreshing contrast to all the postmodern art that purposely shy away from meaning. Lastly, I love this idea that artists must bear witness to the transcendent and show the world what they see.

People laugh when uncomfortable. Doesn’t mean it didn’t impact them :)

A great artist and an interesting thinker.

Alex Grey is my favorite artist. I would not be where I am today without his inspiration. Art evolves consciousness. Consciousness evolves beliefs. Beliefs create culture. Culture constructs civilization. In my most spiritual experiences I have come into contact with my Self and God (which are the same) and I try to communicate these experiences with my art. I feel this is the most important duty of the artist - To synthesize your experiences into a cohesive creation and inspire others to believe that anything is possible.

It is many years since Alex Grey gave this Ted Talk. His, and his wife Allison’s art, explained from his spiritual journey perspective.. has connected many spiritual journeys together. Indeed creativity is a longing in our souls, indeed the recognition of the longing to respect, love and create together is the sacred journey. Bravo Alex and Allison for your commitment to sharing your love in and thru art!

Our lives are each an expression of art, known or not, we paint and weave shared images, sadly, mostly bitter, lonely, lost souls.

Hence the love of Alex Grey and his work. What ever the means Alex Grey speaks to me through art as he does to mankind. What a beautiful manifestation of the absolute.

Beautiful. Beauty in full. Grey's journey is so beautiful. A truly extraordinary human being.

i love the quote “festival culture wages peace in the world” through art music and love , very accurate

"To bring the opposites together," indeed.

Jung's work tackled to the depths of this problem--the coincedentia oppositorum. His book Mysterium Coniunctionis tackles it.

What a dude. To be humerous abt thr most serious situations in his life and effortless is his explination of his complex peices of work

“Art is an echo of the creative force that birthed the galaxies.” I hold you in my heart, then hands to heart, then hands out and open, palms up, toward the Sun. Namaste and thank you.

What an inspiring poet. I love the way you use your words

What a beautiful person. This is the hardest topic to talk about, and it's even hardest to create an art which reflect that vision. They made visible what's invisible. You have my total esteem!

I’m a sculptor I absolutely love this! You guys are amazing! It’s so wonderful to see art in this light, driven by higher consciousness. You’ve inspired me to get into my studio this afternoon. 💗

this is phennomenal !! Thank you so much Alex Grey for reminding us of the Grey and its importance !

At 13:44 how true his vision is here. He saw our desperate world needing our help and what governments should have been wise enough to see and prevent. Now the state of our Earth and our natural environments, energy, species, in extreme peril now becoming daily news. His art is truly living in flow and spirit and he's made me want to pick up my paints again after not creating for so many years,and re engage with myself and spirit and be grateful for the creativity I have inside of me since I was a little girl, thankyou.

Evolution through love to unity consciousness portrayed beautifully.

He is the greatest genious I have ever seen, his speach made my spirit cry. It's so beautiful.

Can you imagine, being able to actually draw the images you have seen in your head, perfectly. These are probably flashes of Alex Grey mind, influenced by his family and their love. ♥

Boundless love for this guy- this utter genius!

Thank you...your visionary goals inspires the humanity ..peace and love from Nepal🤘🙏💚💚

Alex and Allison are precious, important humans. I love them so much.

Festival culture wages peace in the world by creating a temporary zone of planetary civilisation based on art, music and love.

I feel the same about my purpose! Bringing the dark and light together, balancing on that edge, playing in the in between...

Fantastic to hear Alex speak of the evolution and meaning of his art. I have been a fan for a long time. I also have a story to share: My grandmother was very psychically tuned. She also loved Alex Gray's work. I gifted her a signed Alex Gray print she that she kept on her living room wall. It's Theolo(?) seen at 14:17. My grandmother was into yoga, meditation and could astral project. So was a fitting piece for her. After her death the house had burned down. Everything in the house ruined, the print charred and melted plastic (from the frame we bought for it). But Alex's signature (w/ triangle and third eye symbol) was left untouched. I took it as a sign from her that things would be OK. Later we learned through a psychic medium that she burned the house down 'herself' to help the family move on (not to lament over material things). Anyways, thank you Alex for sharing your gifts and your message. Was beautiful to see how 'Theolo' fit in the evolution of your work. And you are right. It's time to heal the planet. To do that I think we need to help one another heal first.

What a coherent message you deliver Mr. Grey. Yet, I see the world as a whole not mature for it. Whenever one feels confused one should look into your artworks and see and understand what is there.

One of the best TEDx Talks I have ever seen! A lot of love for Alex Grey, a great hero of our time.

💚This was a fascinating perspective on Art and Creativity. Thank-you Spiritual Brother!👏I wear the Pentacle also.(with much pride+respect) 🌠We're all connected by the Goddess.🌍Blessed be🌟

It is absolutely incredible how frankly he is speaking about a consciousness movement that is damned by so many governments across the globe. Rock on, Alex Grey. He's speaking for us!
