Polar unity spiral

[Singing Tao]

Does anybody here believe that the polar unity spiral has a significant meaning to this song? I believe there is an obvious tie here, but im curious as to what you think.

That is interesting, and it made look back to my archives for an interview with Alex Grey. This is the question which has a very interesting response:

Alex Grey isn't your birth name. Why did you change your name?

Around the age of 20, I was doing unusual performance pieces focused on the
exploration of polarities. This was a somewhat naive and intuitive venture
based on my dreams and visions. I hadn't yet encountered Taoism or other
mystical teachings related to duality and the union of opposites. The
paintings I had done as an 18 year-old focused on splitting heads and
bodies; it was identity-crisis imagery. For instance, I painted a two-headed
self-portrait, tearing myself in half, one side in the shadow, one side in
the light. In later performance works, I kept half my head shaved for half a
year. The other side of my hair was very long. I discovered that there was
some scientific basis to the splitting of cerebral activity. The right
hemisphere of the brain is primarily intuitive and the left hemisphere is
primarily logical. Obviously, a well-functioning brain and mind will be a
balance of both these forces.

One of my more dramatic polarity performances was to journey up to the North
Magnetic Pole. After returning from the Pole, having spent all my money, two
life-changing events occurred: At a party, I took LSD for the first time.
Sitting with my physical eyes closed, my inner eye moved through a beautiful
spiral tunnel. The walls of the tunnel seemed like living mother-of-pearl;
it felt like a spiritual rebirth canal. I was in the darkness, spiraling
toward the light. The curling space going from black to gray to white
suggested to me the resolution of all polarities. My artistic rendering of
this event was titled "The Polar Unity Spiral." Soon after this, I changed
my name to Grey as a way of bringing the opposites together. The other life-changing event was meeting my wife, Allyson, that same evening. She was the only other person at the party who had taken LSD. We made a profound connection at that time, and have been together ever since.
It's been 27 years.




There are definate connections, but let me read up on some more stuff before I expand on any ideas.

Very cool of you to bring this up, because only today did I order another Grey book.
