false 5115435 1 The capacity of art—both visual and verbal—to stimulate creativity and personal growth is the theme of this challenging collection from an internationally known artist. In <i>Art Psalms, </i>Renaissance man Alex Grey combines poems, artwork, and thoughtful declarations that fuse imagination, creativity, and spirituality. Replicating the style and tone of a holy text, Grey’s poetry conveys the idea of art as a sacred, spiritual practice. Many of these writings have been shared as sermons at New York City’s Chapel of Sacred Mirrors (COSM), a contemporary sacred space founded by Grey and his wife Allyson. Selections include “Soul Marriage,” a pledge that asks the reader to commit to personal and world transformation; “Guidance for Servants of God,” which outlines the lifestyle and view of a sacred path; and “The Plan,” which links universal creation to our own creations in daily life. Equally useful for art lovers, the health and spiritual communities, and anyone seeking to develop their creativity, <i>Art Psalms </i>features fifty drawing exercises of sacred geometry that connect the reader with the transformative creative process. 5182213 30 12 2008 Art Psalms total:8|5:5|4:2|3:1|2:0|1:0| 8 36 13 2 5 0 false false Sun Feb 15 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 16 21:53:53 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 16 21:54:11 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sat Mar 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jan 22 17:02:55 -0800 2009 Sat Mar 14 19:07:55 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Nov 11 10:09:12 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 11 10:09:12 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Fri Oct 30 22:47:04 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 30 22:47:04 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 27 11:45:57 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 27 11:45:57 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Jul 30 10:31:03 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 30 10:31:03 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Jul 05 19:06:18 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 05 19:06:23 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Apr 14 19:01:26 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 14 19:01:35 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Apr 09 05:31:18 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 09 05:31:20 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Mar 04 09:59:23 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 04 09:59:23 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Feb 05 22:46:30 -0800 2009 Fri Mar 13 19:44:32 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Mar 11 13:08:40 -0700 2009 Fri Jan 16 14:49:57 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 11 13:08:40 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 23 12:02:46 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 23 12:02:46 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=5115435
