Alex Gray Painting: Theologue
A painting by visionary artist Alex Gray - "Theologue: The union of Human and Divine Consciousness ..." This work of art illustrates the flow of qi (life-force energy) both within and outside of the body; and how the "internal universe" and the "external universe" are intimately connected - which is one of Taoism's fundamental insights.

Fractals - Mandelbrot, Newton and Bach
