I've admired this mural on the side of the Roosevelt Community Church for a long time now and I finally got a photo (well, two actually) of it. An article in a local business journal attributes it to three people in collaboration, Bishop Ortega, Larry Valencia and Anthony Vasquez. I don't know the meaning behind it but since the church is a non-denominational church open to all, I would guess it is saying welcome no matter what your skin looks like or what you believe. I'm just guessing!
I added this photo because someone was walking by and I thought it would give a good perspective of the size of the mural.

It is an eyecatching mural!
Interesting mural... maybe it is intended to represent a spiritual experience?
That seems like a good guess re. its meaning! I always like people in my street art photos -- they're good for scale, as you said.
The artists were lucky to have such a large expanse of white wall! Your explanation is interesting but I wonder about the geometric figures exploding from the brain.

It is so well done, Sharon! Your explanation works for me!
Like Pat I love your theory on the meaning of this wonderful mural Sharon, if only all religions were as accepting ✨
That's a beautiful mural. It seems to be a welcoming image, I think you are right.
Cool!
A nice image for a church. Thanks for contributing Sharon.
Admittedly it's a bit bizarre to my view.
Openness all around. I like it. When I enlarged the second photo I found there were TWO people walking by! I is almost completely "hidden" by the mural.
