I never thought about it before... but his voice has a Terrence McKenna vibes a little bit. Just his cadence and tone and stuff.
The more dmt you smoke the more you transform into Terrence McKenna they say that he is clawing his way back into our universe waiting for the perfect vessel. The only way you can be chosen is to go farther then Terrence in his first life. So that his metaphysical form can inhabit you and once this is done he will hold a lecture revealing all the secrets he has learned on the other side
@@ptristantp uuuuhhh bro that is some heavy information and it makes total sense. he’s coming back !!!!!!!
Terrence is coming !!!! So stoked
He kind of sounds like Mr. Van Driessen from Beavis and Butthead.....🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂
Alex is always so in touch with his inner being and his higher self. It's refreshing and inspiring!
Amen him and his wife are the definition of soul mates.
I would love to see a conversation between Alex Grey and Jordan Peterson!
👀
Honestly same
Yeah, lets do it!
Lol Alex is far beyond Peterson
I think Alex has better things to do than talk to Nazis
gosh alex nailed it with the tortured energy of this time many of us men are processing right now. I've really been going through into the darkest depths of the male collective and it was the darkest year of my life. Alchemy, turning lead into gold. That is what we are doing here. It seems looking at the horror helped me to resolve core wounds and as a result slingshot me towards the light i can feel the energy surges of love and understanding flowing down through the top of my bed throughout the days now. Thanks to all of you for being here and doing this work together with me. I love you all.
what Alex says at 16:24 really resonated with my vibrations at this moment in time. i just had to walk away from an amazing position with great pay because of how the owner was treating me on the jobsite. cruel, nasty and irrational. after confronting him about it, he snapped and fired me. next morning i did a very deep connected meditation with spirit and what she showed me was this: As above, So Below, the trees we see are above ground, but the other half of its "being", is below ground, the tops are connected to the universe, the bottom is connected to the earth. this creates and electrical charge that pulses, which is vibration, that creates a torsion field around the tree. every living thing has this same energy. we have it, a full torsion field, (a bubble) around us that connects us to the universe and the earth. its energy is from the positive and negative charge. we all have this as well. and as she was showing me this she said, " all people have this positive and negative energy". its like we are above ground as the positive charge and then connected to us is a mirror image of each of us, under ground that carries the negative charge. as above so below. she then showed me what this owners energy was doing to my energy and that i did the right thing by choosing to stay away. she showed me that i actually had compassion for him as i confronted him with honesty, asking him to please stop treating me in such a nasty way, that i loved my position and i cared about his well being as well. i just wanted everyone at work to be happy and have good days without all that screaming and yelling. after 4 days away, he called an apologized and offered me a huge raise to come back. i have to decline at this time. knowing he will do it again, i can not put my energy bubble near his sour energy. so im taking a huge cut in pay to go with another company were i can be happy doing what i love to do. this painting just represents that struggle we all go through on a daily basis, being pulled towards the darkness as we struggle to reach for the light. thank you alex. your words inspired me to go were i feel i would be more happy. i want to be full of joy, spread joy and love. peace to all. with love.
Inspiring, poetic and cerebral conversation-- for lack of better words.
This painting for me says ... Only through suffering and hitting rock bottom can you truly transcend to your higher consciousness. Very profound and touching 🧡
I love when Alex does his character voices💜 love to see his sense of humor. So awesome and enlightening hearing the the story behind his art pieces
Dude. Bro! Dude. Man. Wow!
Love this Alex interview
As an artist, I am absolutely fascinated by Alex and his creative processes. Thank you for sharing this unique side of the story behind the work “The Great Turn.” Peace and Love
What a wonderful discussion! So cool to hear Alex talk about his creative process!
This spoke directly to my soul. The last month I've been in the grips and throes of my own great turn, but no idea what was happening.
I clawed my way out using Tool, mushrooms, and your sacred Mirror cards.
I'm happy to report that I made it out of the tunnel - still have a road of healing ahead of me, but GODDAMN it feels amazing to stand in the light for the first time on this planet.
Thank you, Alex, Allyson, CoSM staff, for all you do with your creative spirit. You are changing lives, in so many ways. I can hardly wait to see where the Divine Spark of Creation takes us next, but I have every hope that it will be somewhere spectacular.
Ride the spiral to the end,
We may just go where no one's been.
❤️
Polar Unity Spiral is hands down one of my favorite works of Alex's. Wish I could get a print!
Such an epic painting!! 🙌
So, so beautiful ❤❤❤
Definitely words of wisdom
A lost soul showed up at my door step today
This could go all wrong but all I can do is help this person till help isn’t wanted
Eyes full of wonder, nice tool reference
Beautiful work.
Great interview.
Thank you.
Alex is ever inspiring.💗💞💗💞
Just wanted to say that I really enjoy watching/listening to interviews with Alex, he's such a profoundly deep human being and has given so much of his life to the creation of transcendental artifacts no less meaningful than the hundreds if not thousands of cultures, religions, thoughts, and inspirations that he derived them from. Lets take a moment to appreciate COSM and Entheon, this one couple's legacy to the sanctity of the human soul, its journey, and its love of the infinite creative force inside all things. Lets appreciate how much they have given humankind and the wealth of material that will inspire countless generations to come! I could go on and on, thank you so much Alex, Alysson, and COSM for continuing to uplift and change perspectives with all the quality material you bring forward!
🙏💗🌈
Would love to talk to Alex one day. Hopefully he stays healthy for a long time. Great video guys
Tyler is great at doing interviews!
Hey, thanks!! 🤗
@@TylerJamesBurger
Love your interviewing style too Mr. Burger 💙💙💙
Thank you Alex and Tyler🌞
Watched this video on LSD and was crying in laughter it was absolutely beautiful love Alex and Allyson
This brought me to tears, such an inspiration
Love you and Allyson and cosm.. can't wait to come back
Just bought The Great Turn as a Tool tour poster in Frankfurt (Germany). Incredibly show by Tool and an everlasting memory with that amazing piece of art
Ah Alex’s self deprecation when talks about him messing with the colors digitally to make it sooo trippy was hilarious and shows he knows how to stay humble despite being a master. Love yah Alex
God! My being start resonating as I hear how he unpack symbolic meaning of the painting. 🙇♀️thank you for being here most beloved Alex!
I so needed to hear this expressed as I was having trouble experiencing this piece. Now with some detachment I can rest a little in the deeper meaning of the ttorment and freedom of twisting and turning towards the light....
I wouldn't want to imagine what this world would be like with you Alex. You have brought so much inspiration to my life and have truly helped me turn from darkness to the light.
~Breeze~
🤘🏼 Turner Blotter 🤘🏼
Great interview and discussion. Very cool to hear the inside story…
Incredible. So wise, inspiring & downright genius. Alex-you, Allyson && COSM are such a powerful beacon of truth and light; I am beyond grateful. Wonderful questions to ask too Tyler, love your interviews! :)
This is so beautiful 💙💙💙💙
STRAIGHT GENIUS
Awesome backstory and insight into the creative process. Thanx so much to everyone involved for going to such great length to share all this passion!!
I recently discovered your collaboration with tool. I think what you do is incredible! I’ve been watching some of your videos and I love hearing you describe your art. Your art is a source of joy, strength, wonder, and a place to face our fears.
I would love to see Paul Chek and Alex sit down and talk of deep thoughts.
Love and Chi to all!
the jewelled surface always makes me think of the chemical world.. almost like another layer of reality, minerals and chemicals swaying with just as much growth as bacteria and virus, but in directions we cant even begin to imagine, if everything is us, then we got to account for EVERYTHING
Honoring this on the Solstice 2021, "turning toward the Light!": Brilliant.
Love you Alex!!!❤
Absolutly fkn amazing... there's no words to discribe how talented Alex is.
Would be cool to meet him one day! Love the video btw.
This is awesome
To me this symbolizes and reminds me that each of us personally reaching the point in our life of realizing our oneness and making the conscious, deliberate choice to seek cooperation and manifestation of the "common good" is key to our survival.
Can we get a breakdown of more pieces? Alex is a truly enlightened being. Hari Om 🕉💗
wow!!! i was shocked and fascinated at the final "great turn" painting! it would be amazing to have that as a full canvas painting hung up :D so awesome! really enjoyed this whole conversation and learning about the stages of the animation process for this piece. i also found it quite interesting to see the transformation of the great turn and "the turner" between the final full painting, the smaller screen-prints, and the "trippier" rainbow version hehe :) so cool that the tool show inspired the final product and the background! the whole concept of the great turn is such an inspiration to me ever since I first saw it and gazed at the beauty within the piece while listening to fear inoculum for the first time! thank you so much alex grey for giving us more insight about this painting that's so moving and inspiring for our world today! keep soaring and evolving towards the light with eyes full of wonder :)
I've always thought this as well!
Trascendental !!... Thankx!
Epic painting
Awesome.
Work together?
The got us divided down the middle
Since day one ✅
Let’s be real! Love TOOL Spiral out🌀

A talk between Alex grey and jordan peterson please. Soon.
A very good friend of mine just gave me a 24X36 autographed print of this. I'll have it framed and display it proudly.
This guy has the most interesting art
Thank you
I want to hear more about psychedelic civilizations!
Great words
I hope to bring is everything positive and fix what I can..without and without
It´s like the light version of Gollum
For me the, "tracer arms," can represent the mistakes made along the way as we strive to be better.
🧡🙏🏻🧡
"DM Turner!"
Alex is on DMT, that explains everything.

Also seems like the shedding of the old ego body and birthing of a new soul body.
Who are the annoying people who dislike his videos 😭😭😭😭
Jeez, I didn't know anything other than the image, made a similar one based on just seeing this. He is basically describing exactly what I got from it. In mine, its the lower half doomed to becone the asshole, while the other gets to be the head. However, the one in the dark, has the light, because there is always darkness and out of the darkness came great light. The groubd luminousity.
I can’t wait for AMC to get to the moon so I can buy an original Alex Grey work.
*! . . 800th Like . . !*
Who are the two people that disliked this video 🤔 haters gonna hate
"just be, is nice philosophy"
3:28 "so i decided not to kill myself"... me too brother
Shedding of the old skin
Yin and Yang...
His hair line by his beanie is bugging the living shit out of me
Angsty!
Supta Matsyendrasana
Tool rushed Alex... interesting lol
I noticed that as well - the all powerful force of the present paradigm brings us down to earth with a thud - to make sure we pay the rent.
What possibly could be the powerful revolutionary force that transcends privileging money as the primary value?
I think this is what Terence might have been referencing, when he said well over 20 years ago, that there were no 'non-radical' solutions left to try in order to escape this dire unsustainable state.
Alex mentions the role of psychedelics in healing but how do you operationalize that at scale? And if not at scale, what are the options to halt our present course as a species locked into a money striving system?
So it turns out, he wasn't getting all his ideas from his trip...
I dig his art from the old tool cds but I can't stand cultists
Jesus Christ is the road to life. He is the way. He is the truth. He is the life. He is the light, not Lucifer. These psychedelic drugs and New Age techniques all help people reach the same conclusions, and it's stuff the Bible has warned us about for ages. This world isn't getting better, as predicted. None of this crap is helping anyone. We are not gods. We shouldn't embrace our duality. We shouldn't transcend evil. It will be destroyed one day and there is only One who can do that.
I think hes full of shit. Im on the Qlippoth and his paintings have way too much truth/reality of the experience hidden inside of it. Ive done a lot of psychedelics/DMT too. That picture is the lower human soul struggling with the holy guardian angel. one facing down and one facing up. going through the bindu chakra. im going through it right now. its like a conjugation phase in alchemy.
I think its good that the painting is inspiring u to find other associations with it which im sure he would support. But calling him full of shit is way out of line. He is not inclined to give you all his associations with it. One is generous enough.
@@kernalfleak your assuming im speaking negative of him? im just speaking dramatic for effect. i forgive you.
@@benvinar2876 jeff goldblum?
@@kernalfleak no, chimichanga
wtf he made the damn thing how can he be full of shit haha
