I've seen it already bro, mushrooms though.

In the branches of the tree I was laying under.. same being, whomever it is.

yeah
as robot said it is the "net of being"
"I" think it is a clear and beautifuly ornate discription of the interplay between all sentient life. we are all connected and reflecting the same energy throughout the "net"
we contain infinite cosm's both macro and micro containg all that ever was or will be.
breat painting :laugh:
i hate that crappy black and white tool version tho. the actual paining is much more alive, its wider and shows much more detail

I grasp the theme of interconnectedness. It is the expression, the eyes in particular, that keep me thinking about it.

alex grey often uses those nebulous galexy eyes in his paintings that dipict phychadelic facturing of the ego into the "grid" or net"
oversoul, one, and the net of being are all great examples of this. they dipict the raw creative spirite of humanity manifested as a human figure. alex's use of eyes big and small all over his workrepresents all the literal "points" of veiw

Wow, thanks man. Up until now I've only seen the coloured version in fragments and people were blocking most of it (Full Moon Gathering part of Alex Grey's site). I admit it does look better with the rainbow but in all honesty, you could throw lollipops, unicorns and bubblegum into that picture and I'd still just be focused on that expression.
