The Sacred Duty of an Artist - To Hold the Highest Vision Possible

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I first saw online that Entheon, the sanctuary of visionary art, created by Alex & Allison Grey was coming to the UK, Europe!

I knew without a doubt I had to go.

I happily invested the majority of a month’s salary to spend a week in London with two planned visits to the exhibition hub Illusionaries including enough time for integration and enjoyment afterwards.

On an early morning sunny morning in London, I got on the tram to see the exhibition for the first time, and immediately was taken on a deep journey transcending time and space.

Healing / life-changing / transformative are words that don’t give justice to my experience.
These are sacred offerings of remembrances.

My fellow psychonauts & spiritual seekers know this realisation and ‘feeling’ of Home outside the logical mind.

Making Visionary Art is being in service of making the invisible visible.

The Greys are creating what I am longing to see more of in today’s world.

Throughout the stay, I could feel how the transmission of the art hit something in my core and started triggering changes inside me. It was like being on a trip while being sober. Which made the insights even more powerful.

My biggest realisation:

It is safe to be me.

Nothing unheard of or mindblowing, but the simplicity of this insight hits me different every time.

I come from an atheist, traditional, Chinese background, grew up in Germany, and studied Electrical Engineering.

Spirituality (especially studies of the non-physical realms, esoteric, occult, astrology etc.) was an interest of mine that I kept low-key for a long time.

My first acid trip many years ago was mindblowing and I couldn’t stop reading everything I could about the counter culture in the 60s/70s with all our psychedelic heros: Ram Dass, Terence McKenna, Stan Grof etc.

Spirit even guided me to a spiritual community where I served for 2 years, before it fell apart.

I returned to society and got frequently occupied with the question:

How can I be a respected, analytical project manager in IT by day and an intuitive energy healer/visionary creator/student of the occult by night?

This marriage of seemingly opposing beliefs has been an ongoing struggle for me.

How can I show myself in both worlds without hiding any parts?

I recognised how I fragmented myself into spiritual parts, worldly parts & many many other parts, each with their own story of why it seemed unloveable or unwanted in specific environments.

Apart from the effect of the immersive journey itself, seeing the Visionary Art of Entheon being displayed in such a public space at Canary Wharf station in London somehow catalysed the dissolution of borders that I drew within myself.

In fact, essentially, there is no such thing as ‘parts’ of me:

I am already whole. I don’t consist of separate parts.
There has never been separation within me, there has never been separation without me.

Who am I really if I am already whole?
Who am I if I am not separate from the outside world?
What would I create?

For some years, I’m already answering the call to pursue storytelling through different expressions. My visions are getting bigger and bigger… I can feel them bubbling under the surface. I dedicate time every day to slowly let them drip into the physical world.

However, after this exhibition I know for sure:

No dream is too big to dream. No vision too impossible to imagine.

And it is our most holy duty to hold the highest vision possible for this world.

Gratitude to Alex & Allison for their brave act of devotion and creating this revolutionary legacy.
Gratitude to Illusionaries for making this magic and its subsequent ripple effects on each visitor possible.
Gratitude to all physical and non-physical beings for all the support.

🤍

I’m honored to be a witness of those extraordinary times we live in.
