The Transpersonal Language : Spirit Art and Collective Healing
Lunaya Shekinah
These symbols are an expression of the what I call the transpersonal language, which in simple terms could be described as the language which anyone can understand. The way that these symbols work as language, is by literally containing the essence of a particular state of transpersonal realization, thus having the ability to spark or facilitate that very state in whoever looks at them.

Recent theories, such as that of Lewis-Williams, point to the possibility that these may be ‘neural artefacts‘ left to us by trancing shamans – clues to the states of consciousness that produced them.
Alex Grey and Sacred Anatomy by Daniel Mirante
“If we were to look closely at an individual human being, we would immediately notice that it is a unique hologram unto itself; self-contained, self generating and self-knowledgeable.

The Contemplative Visionary Art of Oleg Korolev
Oleg Korolev has emerged as one of the most interesting and accomplished visionary artists of the present time. “Beautiful rhythms come when fear is gone and affection leaves.Perception is clear when the mind is calm, and becomes pure and virgin, when dualities are overcome.
