	Alex the grey parrot
		When she pushes an H next to it, Alex promptly says ''Shhhhh.'' When she shows him the letters OR, Alex clearly enunciates ''or.'' Alex is one smart bird.

		According to a variety of standard tests, Alex and his fellow gray parrots, a species native to west-central Africa, have cognitive abilities comparable to a 4- or 5-year-old child, she says.

	Edge: "THAT DAMN BIRD"
		Grey parrots, such as Alex and Griffin, are never going to sit here and give an interview the way you and I are conducting an interview and having a chat.
		Irene's intellectual journey with Alex is an impressive one because she has sustained a consistent line of research exploring some of the deepest problems concerning the nature of mind, and in particular, the relationship between language and thought.
		So Alex goes over to where he expects the item to be, picks up the cup, and finds that the nut is not there; he starts banging his beak on the table and throwing the cups around.

		Encouraged to draw by his artist father, and being especially good at it, Alex Grey felt early on that his mission in life was to be an artist.
		Grey seems to have an insatiable curiosity about the human mind and its mysteries, the human soul and its mission, and God, not to mention space, matter and energy.
		Discovering the sacred truths that underlie all the wisdom traditions, accessing transpersonal archetypes in vision states and bringing them back for us in the most authentic and iconic way possible, this is, in his words, his mission as an artist.

		Alex’s art is deeply, profoundly, Beautiful, the surest sign that it is on the trail of Spirit.
		This places Alex in a rather extraordinary lineage of Western painters whose art is saturated with Spirit.

		Alex’s apparent insight into nothingness doesn’t necessarily extend to other arithmetical talents, though: the researchers found these to lag in some respects behind those of young human children.
		Alex insisted on responding: “five.” This made no sense given that the answer was supposed to be a color.
		Alex performed rather poorly, unlike normal schoolchildren, who can usually be fairly easily taught to recite their numbers, like the alphabet, without this tangible reference.

		Grey's paintings, as detailed and anatomically accurate as medical illustrations, present man as an archetypal being struggling toward cosmic unity?Grey's vision of a flawed but perfectable mankind stands as an antidote to the cynicism and spiritual malaise prevalent in much contemporary art."
		Alex Grey is quite probably the greatest artist alive today.
		However Alex Grey is such a strikingly unusual artist that any review of his "metaphysical" vision is worth considering.

	Transfigurations by Alex Grey
		Alex Grey's art leads us on a transformative journey through the opacity and darkness of the material world to the recovery of our divinely illuminated core.
		From his earliest self-portraits and paintings of skeletons, to his most recent universal beings gridded with fire and eyes, Grey brings us an ever-deepening visual contemplation of the nature of personal and transpersonal identity by showing the complex interplay of the anatomical body and the glowing subtle energies of the soul.
		Alex's work, like all great transcendental art, is not merely symbolic or imaginary: it is a direct invitation to recognize and realize a deeper dimension of our very own being.
