"Many of my art works have been inspired by visionary voyages with entheogens. This particular altarpiece, Nature of Mind, arrived as a sequence of images, to my unsuspecting and uninebriated imagination early one morning. The altarpiece is a somewhat psychedelic homage to my years of Buddhist study and practice. As soon as I quickly drew one image, another replaced it until there was a complex seven stage journey of a wanderer discovering the spiritual path, having an introduction to their own true nature, embodying that truth and re-entering society. Whatever your spiritual practice is, may it take you to the highest Heavens where you come face to face with your divine source, and may the insights gleaned from such a journey be brought directly into your life and work." - Alex Grey
