It is a rather tricky thing. I suppose part of it is the compartmentalization of the mandala. It is well-balanced geometrically with the "feminine" circles and the "masculine" triangles and straight lines with sharp angles. The circles are also reminiscent to me of the way I perceive "time particles dilating" as I draw nearer to the godhead. There's something so striking about godhead geometry. It carries this sense of being like the "cosmic executive" or something.

The more that I examine it in trying to answer your question, the more I notice certain "features" most likely coyly planned by anon_003 such as the formation that the circles are in are that "flower of life" kind of formation. By virtue of that notion alone, we have the circles implying other shapes inside like the hexagon within that. It's all of the forms within forms within forms I suppose.

I mean to talk about that godhead geometry...we're really moving far from where words can do much talking at all. There are difference facets to the godhead for me. Inside, there seems to be a command room almost of some kind as if leading upward and out like a numinous submarine Then with the slightest shift in perspective, the same mass of geometry reveals itself to be an Egyptian room with gold and turquoise. With another slight shift, it's something entirely different. All extremely highly dimensional. Extremely fine, intricate and subtle dimensional interactions...ok maybe not subtle at all...maybe so over the top in your face that everything is gyrating from one plane to the next in its timeless transcendent dance. Very high vibrations with the finest powerful buzzing. Sometimes it is reminiscent of a giant white and gold UFO compartmentalized beetle. Other times it can be a face wracked with joy of a man gone insane with too much love. All the grossest of metaphors of course.

Global, you just described what I have been trying to reproduce better than I ever have!!

It's like a giant incredibly complex geometric optical illusion that somehow folds "out" to me and encompasses me in a landscape, and through rotation of this geometric form, I am moved to other landscapes. Really pretty bizarre! These godhead experiences are my most memorable of all drug experiences. I recently had an experience sitting on my buddies couch with Anthem of the Sun by the Grateful Dead playing. My trip began a little bit into That's It For the Other One, and I remember being confused by the rattling noises at the end of the song. But then, that confusion turned into pure bliss as New Potato Caboose came on right I was just starting to re-enter my previously just stoned headspace. Words frankly cannot describe the beauty.

P.S. Glad someone noticed the circles

Loving all of the art and subsequent hyper-spatial-articulations

Thank you Cyb and Guy for sharing your wisdom and giving encouragement. To Spin and the others....wow!! You guys are so talented. Keep keeping on. []Deace

The sky is empty and the land is bare. There's nothing for us there. But there's a roadway. The key to discover ourselves, and the universe at large, all which is within us. Mind the shadows though.

Your work is VERY impressive Sunshine!

Talented Flow...

No.3 Right up my street.

Flow, that means an awful lot coming from yourself! You have a magnificent sense of proportion in your work. I must agree with cyb on the third one.... so crisp.

Newer version of Gaia-Shakti from earlier in the thread. long term project aim to give her a whole body eventually.

(more depth and saturation when clicked on i think. Appears more pale than it is when showed online )

That's a pretty cool tangent you've got there.

The monochrome effect is pretty neat, and gives the piece a fairly imposing presence. I think viewing work like this would be a great use for the Oculus Rift- imagine being able to actually stand in front of the thing, feel its massive presence.

Art and d-T-r, that's great stuff!

Here's one used for the background of a concert poster I did recently...

Piece called 'Changa Brothers' by the ever talented Keerych Luminokaya.

Spectacular.

Though I must say that Keerych's style looks suspiciously like that of one of our members.

I was thinking the same...

There is SO MUCH talent, here at the Nexus!!! How many times can one mind be blown? Kudos to everyone for sharing!

That one just pops right out of the screen at ya spinCycle

Well, as my life bounces around a bit, it looks like I will have limited internet access for the rest of the summer. Here's one last image before I take a break from posting these for a while. I'll definitely still be reading it when I can though. Looking forward to seeing more great stuff posted here.
