YOU DID ITÂ /////////////////////Â AGAINÂ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Â KNOX MARTIN: (www.knoxmartin.com)
Are the Alpha Seer’s work about sex? Don’t get deceived by the cover of the book:  His work have a deeper layer of meaning than sex. He adopts as his theme the interaction of Yin and Yang, of which the secret action of the satyr and the nymph represents the guilt-free condition of what is inherent with existence. Color is deliberately left out so that the essence of the calligraphy in art, or the purity of perception, if you would, may be attained with immediacy.
This work, which the great genius Knox Martin has praised profusely, can hang on your wall for any length of time,– i.e. even if you were to look at it everyday — still you will feel no fatigue in the visual contact. Why so? –because all great art generates good Fung Shui. It moves the Qi in its vicinity, it will only make you feel energized, so you will be replenished with a most precious thing,– unseen, but most precious, — fresh energy. Is it a theory? No, it can well be proven. There is no way, for example that you can get tired viewing a scroll on the wall containing the masterful calligraphy of Wang Hsih- chih or a Picasso drawing. You can only grow to like it more and more! The great compositions by Mozart and Beethoven have similar fascination on us. One just cannot get tired of listening to them,– but not the raps, or the Beatles, which are bad Fung Shui to start with,… ( Now I ‘d better get out of here quick before some Beatles fans hit me hard with a broom,…..!)
One may hate this composition at first, for example, –especially if you are a Christian or a fanatic Muslim, –or a die-hard Beatles fans, or an Andy Warhol follower…. ,
If you look at this composition in the attachment long enough, it will promise to replenish the freshness of your perception with the powerful movements of the total white, something you will never experience in works by Andy Warhol, Jeff Koon, or Damien Hirsts.
Any fool will worship those “artists” Â because of a certain appeal of their work,– not inherent in the work itself, but for the dollar sign that is attached to it.
Â
Unfortunately, a garbage can is always a garbage can, even though it may be one that is made of gold!
(To read the above, use your mouse on the line to highlight it.) How do you read this composition? Learning how is an art in and of itself. One will appreciate this instruction even more later on, especially  as it can become a general guidance for anyone with above average intelligence to read great art in general. For example, one may read Titian’s composition, or that of Picasso’s, in a very similar manner. Reading Knox Martin’s work is a lot more complex, which belongs to another chapter. First narrow your eyes and gaze at the total white, (or the  whole Yang , if you want,) and simply allow your vision to be taken to whatever corner in the composition. Starting from the nymph’s head you come to the breast. Now you follow the bend of the nymph’s curling body, her leg on the satyr’s back, only to be continued by the satyr’s body,which takes a Z shape. Pause, then if you follow the straight of the curtain it will take you to the  pure white of the cave exit, which points back at the back of the head of the satyr. Next there is the white of the satyr’s eyes linking  the small curve that defines the satyr’s face. From that point on the white comes down perpendicularly in the shape of the nymph’s arm. Knox Martin is reading exactly the same thing. But he was fascinated enough to say : “You did it again!!!!!!!!……” The reason why Knox is fascinated but the public is not, is perhaps due to the fact that Master Knox is an artistic genius with an I.Q. of 196, way above that of Einstein’s. In other words, that also represents an I.Q. superior to that of Picasso, Matisse, or even Cezanne anytime of the year.
