Paul Laffoley is a visionary artist who manages to get
multi-dimensional portals onto canvas with paint. He is truly
extraordinary and his work is fun to explore. Please see his work at:

Here is what he says about a work called "Color Breathing":
"Subject: A Color-Healing Device
Symbol Evocation: The Mystery of Color
Exhibited
Architectonic Thought-Forms: A Survey of the Art of Paul Laffoley.
Austin Museum of Art, Austin, Texas, 20 November 1999 - 30 January
2000
Notes:
By means of lucid dreaming (being aware of dreaming while dreaming),
one can surround oneself with colored spheres of light and breathe
their healing vibrations. Lucid dreaming provides the most direct
experience of non-albedo light. The definition of non-albedo light has
its origin in Goethe's 1810 study on color theory, Zur Farbenlehre.
In it, Goethe states that both light and darkness are of equal value to
the human mind in its quest to model the universe both backward and
forward in time: "Colors are the actions and sufferings of light as a
result of its meeting with darkness."
Newton's concept of light (or the albedo definition of light) states
that colors are fractions of the incident radiation of white light,
reflected by the surfaces of bodies or refracted through mediums which
slow their velocity (first determined in a vacuum). Albedo light is
assumed to be generated from point sources such as candle flames,
fires, lightning, stars, and artificial light sources. As darkness was
assumed to be unable to resist the penetration of albedo light rays,
Newton defined a potential for its complete elimination.
The lux of the mind is non-albedo light. It contains the power of both
light and dark, possessing neither brightness nor opaqueness as its
true nature. However, the lux can offer the appearance of both and any
admixture in between, thus imitating the entire history of the natural
universe.
Color healing depends on the manipulation of pure color at will from
the second, third, and fourth dimensional realms. Colors represented in
situations such as abstract art, color charts and wheels, colored
lights, water, or window glass, etc., are only illustrations of pure
color not found in the external world.
It is only in the lucid dream-state that pure color is possible. Pure
color is a volumetric extension of a single color, such as a sphere of
redness in which the color is not propagated from a point source of
energy. Instead it exists in a homogeneous and isotropic state. Pure
color cannot be experienced from the absolute blackness that surrounds
it. One must enter the volumetric extension of the color to experience
its purity, which means it contains no blackness at all.
