Alex Grey: World Spirit DVD

I'm sitting here crying real tears while watching segments of this new achingly beautiful DVD from Alex Grey, called World Spirit.

Experience it here. Watch all the video segments, turn up the volume, and wear head phones if you can. You won't be disappointed.

From the blurb:

WORLDSPIRIT is a landmark audio-visual theater experience featuring poetry and storytelling by visionary artist Alex Grey, music by electronic composer and violinist Kenji Williams, and multi-screen projections of Alex Grey's world-famous paintings.

WORLDSPIRIT represents a radically new form of entertainment that brings together evolutionary spiritual teachings, visual art, music, live performance and advanced technology; speaking at once to body, mind and spirit.

Here is an excerpt of Alex's spoken word from one of the clips:

And now for my biggest trick
Requiring precision timing and a leap of of faith
I shall enfold myself
A topological wunderkind.

Gastolation is perfect this time around
God is at the wheel
Steering thru the Devas eyes
Driving my cell clusters around my morphogenetic field
Those aren't gill slits
Those are my ears
My genomes are humming
There is a veritable Niagra of blood coursing through my umbilicus
The sounds are a deafining roar inside the meat pump of the body.

I recently watched Artmind - The Healing Power of Sacred Art with Alex Grey. very inspirational and enlightening. It was fascinating to hear more of his personal philosophies and experiences that feed his art. Truly an incomparable artistic genius.

I also highly recommend Rivers & Tides, the documentary of Andy Goldsworthy. He reveals himself to be an incredibly untuitive spiritualist so intouch with the natural world. Again, highly inspirational.

I just went to see the projection of World Spirit and felt dissapointed. I love Alex's paintings and still do, but I think World Spirit is a mediocre, selfish presentation.

Selfish? How so? I'm having a hard time seeing that or believing it from what I know of Alex Grey. From the little videos I saw I was deeply moved and inspired by the words, art and music.
