Albert Hofmann and the New Eleusis (Signed Poster)

Description

Artwork Description: “Alienation from nature and the loss of the experience of being part of the living creation is the greatest tragedy of our materialistic era. It is the causative reason for ecological devastation and climate change. Therefore I attribute absolute highest importance to consciousness change.

I regard psychedelics as catalyzers for this. They are tools which are guiding our perception toward other deeper areas of our human existence, so that we again become aware of our spiritual essence. Psychedelic experiences in a safe setting can help our consciousness open up to this sensation of co ection and of being one with nature.

LSD and related substances are not drugs in the usual sense, but are part of the sacred substances, which have been used for thousand of years in ritual settings. The classic psychedelics like LSD, Psilocybin and Mescaline are characterized by the fact that they are neither toxic nor addictive. It is my great concern to separate psychedelics from the ongoing debates about drugs, and to highlight the potential inherent to these substances for self-awareness, as an adjunct in therapy, and for fundamental research into the human mind.

It is my wish that a modern Eleusis will emerge, in which seeking humans can learn to have transcendent experiences with sacred substances in a safe setting. I am convinced that these soul-opening, mind-revealing substances will find their appropriate place in our society and our culture.” —Dr. Albert Hofma , April 19, 2007 Artist: Alex Grey Artist Description: Alex Grey is a visionary Artist whose work bridges the realms of spirituality, consciousness, and anatomical precision.

Trained at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and having served as a medical illustrator at Harvard, Grey brings an unparalleled technical accuracy to his depictions of the human form. However, what sets his art apart is its integration of esoteric symbolism, mystical experience, and entheogenic vision. Deeply influenced by his experiences with psychedelics and meditation, Grey s paintings often portray the subtle energetic body, merging biological anatomy with spiritual luminosity.

His most celebrated series, Sacred Mirrors, offers a transformative visual journey into the self and cosmos, aiming to reveal the divine within the human. Alongside his partner Allyson Grey, he co-founded the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors (CoSM), a spiritual and creative sanctuary that fosters community, art, and higher states of awareness. Grey s work is widely respected across the worlds of contemporary art, consciousness studies, and entheogenic exploration.
