Connect these two Picassos with the Knox Martin below, then compare them with the Chinese calligraphy by the great Sui dynasty calligrapher, Wang Hsi Tzi.
Why, simply connect the dots! (I apologize for the terrible reflections, but reflection is exactly what I want to tell you at this point,…)
……………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Finally, ask yourself this:
What is the common thread that provides the linkage for those 4 magnificent images?
Once you see that linkage, or lineage, REALLY SEEING IT,…no pretense at all in this business, no self-deception: like: Oh, I can see that…oh, yeah, there it is, staring out at me, etc…– remove your ego,– if that is at all possible, but rather, seeing it as a child would discern an unadorned truth, vulnerable, surrendering, pure, without worldly meaning,… no language, no thought, no memories,…no intellectualizing,…no reference,… just the singular sweetness, the simplicity upon the sighting of a metaphor in a great poem, the delicious surprise in the seeing of the bull’s testicles, feeling that sacred wonderment within Picasso’s creative power, seeing the teats in Knox’s woman, and imagine for a moment how deeply Knox must have immersed himself in the well of bliss afforded by such a gorgeous creation,– or seeing the copulation in the Alpha Seer’s art, (http://alphaseer.artists.de, or www.mnartists.org~alpha seer) while immediately recognizing that, as though a child would have seen it for the first time in his life, the perfect union of the Yin and the Yang,…..
–then perhaps you will see nothing else but the way to Greatness.
Seeing the way to Greatness is feeling for the first time,
The way to Beauty.
Feeling for the first time the way to Beauty
Is understanding the Tao to Godliness….
This is not to say that all Alpha Seers are necessarily godly. It may turn out that in real life he can be as much an asshole as anyone else…. just that he is the one holding up the sacred mirror, so that godliness can be reflected.
Since that godliness is also in you,– if only you knew it!
