Is real art excellent? Of course!Â
But even excellent is unacceptable. It has to be perfect!
How perfect?Â
Have you seen Egyptian art?
It has to be Egyptian art perfect!
Have you seen Greek art?
It has to be Greek art perfect!
Have you seen the Alhambra? It has to be Alhambra perfect!
Have you seen the Taj Mahal? It has to be Taj Mahal perfect!
Everyone talks about the Renaissance. But do you know that it is a period of corruption OF REAL ART?– this Renaissance hanging in everyone’s lips? The Alpha Seer’s first conjecture is this: Folks: you have all been fooled and misled by an old fart called Vasari. Of course we have greater art before the period called Renaissance, and many more artistic geniuses in the world before this period called Renaissance!!
Today we even have Postmodernism, and that is a real plague!
Open your eyes and survey all the so-called great buildings in the world today. Try to find me one building that is even one percent as close in beauty as the Taj Mahal, or the Alhambra!
How dare the modern nowadays associate those godly structures of yore with terrorism and anti-terrorism?
Postmodernism is a modern phenomenon, so is terrorism,–its political and existential offspring,–and that also go for its reaction to it, the religion spear-headed anti-terrorism.
You don’t agree, of course.
Why? because, “I don’t see the connections!” You said.
Of course you don’t see it. For that reason you have argued with Galileo about the shape of the world. There are many things that lead to this non-seeing. The I, me and myself thing, the belief thing, the moderation thing, the popularity thing, the herd instinct, the adoration of money and might, –it is not just stupidity or ignorance, it is way more complicated than that! The human mind is already well fucked up before one dies.
Enough! Speak with moderation!
But moderation is not the truth!
That reminds one of an advice the Alpha Seer gave to his teen daughter many years ago,– on writing.
And here it is:
Write with the luminosity and purity of your soul,
that is all you have and that is all you do,–nothing
more, nothing less,– so others may find a path to
you–TO TERRORIZE THE NIGHT!

REAL ART QUIZ
WHY IS THE IMAGE IN THIS ATTACHMENT CALLED ART? BECAUSE IN EVERY WAY IT IS A WORK OF ART. IT IS A WORK OF PERFECTION!
IT IS NOT JUST EXCELLENT.
IT IS PERFECT!
IT BELONGS IN THE REALM OF THE GODLY!
At the beginning another version of this same image was presented to the great master Knox Martin,– I believe many of you here in this room still recall… That was a version which is without the horizontal line on the upper left. It was still excellent, and everything was already in its right place. But guess what? The great master has rejected it? Why?– If you also know why, please go straight ahead and by all means continue as an artist, as art is definitely in your blood! Why did Knox reject it? He rejected it for no other reason than simply because excellent is less than perfect! Excellent still belongs in this world, wrought with accidents, conjectures, narratives, and sentiments, while perfection is the work and vocabulary of the godly.
One line has made such an impact! One line,–one line on the upper left has caused such a world of difference!
WHY IS THIS ART?
BECAUSE IT IS PERFECT!
HOW PERFECT?
IT IS ALHAMBRA PERFECT!
HOW PERFECT?
IT IS TAJ MAHAL PERFECT!
HOW PERFECT?
IT IS EGYPTIAN ART PERFECT?
HOW PERFECT?
IT IS GREEK ART PERFECT!
HOW PERFECT?
IN EVERY WAY, ART SHOULD BE COMMANDED BY THE LAWS OF YIN AND YANG (which involves supreme mathematics and geometry as well)
AND PLEASE NOTE : YIN IS YANG AND YANG IS YIN. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS THE BACKGROUND OR THE SPACE IN BETWEEN. WHY? BECAUSE YIN IS YANG AND YANG IS YIN
