The images depicted in Alex Grey's Sacred Mirrors (on display at the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors in New York City), are of human figures viewed in physical detail as well as their revealed ethereal filaments that represent the six chakras and the surrounding aura of the psychic energy system, interconnected with the rest of the universe. Grey’s work explores the subject of consciousness from the perspective of "universal beings" whose bodies are grids of fire, cosmic eyes and infinite galactic swirls.
The powerful mental function of imagination allows us to use our thoughts to accomplish things like healing and repair on the emotional level and sometimes on the physical level too. We can use our imagination to review the past or visualize possible futures, and to do things that we seem unable to do in the outer world. Our imagination is the source of creativity, and gives us the the ability to solve problems. We can plan things in our imagination and then take the steps that we imagined, to accomplish goals that we seek.
