Not everything is occult just because it has an eye my fren. That video is Alex Grey's art. Alex Grey's use of eyes is not at all connected to occult. In my interpretation the eyes symbolizes expanded states of consciousness, transcendence, and spiritual awakening. Alex Grey is/was into psychedelics. The various eyes in his art was inspired from Alex's experience with Ayahuasca, a South American psychoactive brew.

More proof he is not into occult, or the 'all seeing eye':

…we became individual fountains and drains of light, interlocked with an infinite omnidirectional network of fountains and drains composed of and circulating a brilliant iridescent love energy. We were the Light, and the Light was God… We felt like death was not to be feared because the Light was our spiritual core and we would eventually return to the profoundly transcendental bliss of the lattice realm. After the experience of the Universal Mind Lattice, we decided that a vision of sacred interconnectedness was the most important subject of art.

Further, these eyes in the artwork are more likely related to the "third eye". Tool has a song called "third eye."

This song seems to depict forcing a spiritual experience via psychedelics. The narrator alludes to being on the borderline of a spiritual awakening, and uses some kind of psychedelic to “pry open” his third eye in order to reconnect with himself. If taken as a direct narrative of MJK’s life, it could be seen as a story of Maynard using psychedelics to confront his traumatic childhood and become whole. Ultimately, this song is about forcing some kind of personal awakening or healing through psychedelics. There is also a tribute to the late comedian Bill Hicks. It is explained in a hulu documentary titled “American: The Bill Hicks Story” that Bill had done mushrooms with 2 of his good friends and experienced something life-changing.
