The Alpha Seer understanding true art

Figure 1: Satyr and Nymph 0941

Figure 2: Blind Man’s Buff 12151

The poetic genius, with little exception, lives on the fringe of society. Van Gogh could not give away his art while he was alive. Knox has often been mentioned alongside with mediocre individuals like Cy Twombly or Robert Rauschenberg,– who have as much relevance to poetry as maggots are to the butterfly!
The academics claim that a great artist cannot be easily understood, but the Alpha Seer is holding a different view altogether. In fact, it is a most ridiculous claim,– as the exact opposite is true! If the genius has not been understood, it is simply because folks have never tried. Look at most people around you: aren’t they  looking for entertainment all day long? There is such a horrendous lack of awareness and clarity in their lives and their way of looking at things! In their daily stampedes for entertainments, for more Hollywood, Super Bowl, World Cup, Wimbledon, Hockey, latest technologies… etc,– little wonder they have succeeded in narrowing their own attention span to that of a gnat!

The poetic genius has created works so they can be enjoyed by all. Isn’t art essentially a domain for all mankind ? Doesn’t the very core of ART appeal to all on the basis of universality,–one that ultimately reassures us of the marvelous insight that all men are created equal? Why would the poetic genius create stuffs that end up confusing you ? It does not make any sense at all, does it?

The Alpha Seer has not created works just for the enjoyment of the genius Knox Martin, even though it  is extremely delightful to have the latter responding to those works positively. There are at least 2 dozen friends here* that the Alpha Seer has held in high regard, on account of their intelligence and humanity. But unfortunately it is quite telling that they are unable to enjoy those works in the same way Knox does. Why that is so is totally beyond my comprehension, since those friends are by no means average in their intelligence, –and it really does not take a genius to understand those works!

So today let me open your door of enjoyment with my key in the hope that you can enjoy a work of art by following the steps that I am setting up for you.

It is also hoped that in the future, even if you place a Ben Lau in front of a 5 year old, the chance is good that he can identify it as something by Ben,– not Picasso, Matisse or Knox Martin…. .

Looking at the two lino-cuts above, the first thing to look for is the Black and White!

Aha, see how easy it is! You are already looking at the Black and White,–if they have not been staring at you all along themselves! Haven’t I promised you that understanding would be easy, and absolutely without any pain at all?

All that is ever required of you are:

1. surrender your Ego,–be vulnerable!

and 2. have faith in the Master!

Guess what? –the truth is, I have always wanted my work to become accessible to all except the blind ones of course, ( and unfortunately we also have those who are blind in spirit!) And FYI, I have also wanted my works to become comprehensible even to a 5 year old child, so he can happily point to it and say, “Ah, that is a Ben Lau!”

The whole idea is so utterly simple: just look at the work, and look at it until its composition gradually emerges in its formal purity. By that I mean the total BLACK , if looked at long enough, begins to yield up its formal beauty almost like a subtle fragrance. When that happens, the next step is to evaluate the form, in order to determine for yourself if formal integrity has indeed existed in that composition. How that can be achieved is through a simple but logical deduction called Intuitive Assessment. In the beginning, find out if anything in the composition has been left unattended, dangling, or hanging out. Take a Kandinsky or a Jackson Pollock for example, a million tiny forms are doing their own little things, each with no obvious relationship to the other! Things continues to dangle and hang out violently like nightmarish explosions. Is there a single surface in any of their works on which a viewer’s eyes may rest in peace? The answer is a resounding NO!  What a horror of vision indeed!

Formal integrity exists only when every stroke, line, or dot has been held properly in place like a beautiful piece of calligraphy, (– think of the great calligrapher, Wang Hsi-chih of the Sui Dynasty of China, for example.) Finally, consult your own intuition to determine if you are experiencing the pleasure of Beauty in this very simple ritual of looking. We can all tell exactly when a certain form has its own specific appeal. When a guy looks at a gal, for instance, he knows exactly what kind of curves to look for, and by what proportions… . So it follows that a guy’s Intuitive Assessment for a gal is an innate ability! The point I am trying to convey is: simply trust your own intuition! Likewise, take in the total WHITE at a glance,– and finally, basing on the same criteria, evaluate the White form in its entirety.

All told, there should only be a single BLACK form snugly embracing a single WHITE one. Or you may look at it as a single WHITE  form snugly embracing a single BLACK one. If there are more than one white form embracing several black forms, for instance,–then it can be logically concluded that Unity has not been achieved anywhere in the composition! Unity means oneness. When Yin embraces Yang, they melt into each other and exist as ONE. That is why we say unity is there. It is not my concept. In fact, it is not a concept at all. It just happens to be the dictate of the Law of our Universe! I am by no means the first artist to paint according to this law, and certainly won’t be the last.

The BLACK and WHITE (Yin and Yang) are the core of being for any kind of composition! In musical compositions by Mozart or Haydn, for example, or in the poetic compositions by Shakespeare and Malarme, Black and White are the core of being in their existence. Colors ( in the forms of emotional attachments or meanings,.. .) are of secondary importance only,–if not downright insignificant!

Precisely, the Yin and Yang are the building blocks of the Universe! Show me something that is being dominated by Yin,– with its complementary part of Yang largely missing, and I can immediately point to a sickly or unsightly existence! The health of an existence has an outward expression of vibrancy and beauty. That which is ugly, decrepit or unsightly, by the same token, is the outward expression of an inner mess.

Satisfying the exterior criteria of Balance, Qi, Harmony, Unity, Energy, and Movement within the very Principles of Yin and Yang means that your Inner space of beauty is created. Satisfying the exterior conditions of Yin and Yang is calculated to setting your Inner house of Yin and Yang in order! Eventually, there is no observer, there is only you, since the observer is the observed!

FINALLY, EXAMINE THE BLACK AND WHITE IN ANY OF THE COMPOSITIONS OF THE FOLLOWING ALPHA SEERS (“alpha seer” is simply a coded term for the first seer, hence the poetic, artistic, or intuitive genius, in his particular field of pursuit):

VAN EYCK, TITIAN, VELAZQUEZ, RUBENS, FRANS HALS,  ZURBARAN, ADRIEN BROWVER, CLAUDE LORRAINE, REMBRANDT, DEGAS, INGRES, CEZANNE, SEURAT, PICASSO, MATISSE, GORKY, DEKOONING, AND KNOX MARTIN* IN ORDER TO VERIFY THE TRUTH OF THIS ARTICLE.

These days, a single click on the Google search engine will get you there.

With this verification, the case is finally rested, and you may share the Alpha Seer’s deep contempt for the academics with confidence. They may flash their cards in your face with their impressive titles as professors at Harvard or Yale, but an academic from the art departments of any university or school is someone you must watch out for: more often than not, this big bully is here to sell you snake oils. Don’t forget: Cezanne had fought the academics all his life. He had taken his last breath in front of his final masterpiece, all of which the contemporary academics of his time in Paris had never ceased to joke or taunt about enough… . Academics are, as a rule, always the blindest fish in the world. Arrogant and corrupt, they are the blind at heart!  Look, an academic has his own petty theory to stick to and a whole life style to defend,– so it is next to impossible for him to come around and see the truth with a child’s vision.

Academic: thy name is IMPOSTOR!

Who are the impostors? They are the ones who run the Ponzi schemes in ART! They are the Bernard Madoffs of ART!  Andy Warhol,  Cy Twombly, Jackson Pollock, Kandinsky, Georgia O’Keefe,…- you name it, since I cannot list them all,– another ten thousand or so misguided souls whom our academics have the audacity to call “artists!”

Check out their BLACK AND WHITE! You can be an aware viewer of art from now on, and you can refuse to be fooled,– OR you can remain a regular member of the general public on herd instincts, unenlightened, silly, –with the academics providing you snake oils every now and then, entering your system like a shot of steroids, for you to feel “high” and proudly parade about as a “cultured” citizen in your neighborhood,… .

It is your choice!

The Alpha Seer has just provided you with a tool for verification. This BLACK AND WHITE scanning on any subject with an “artistic” claim can be, in every perceivable way, as powerful as the latest technologies of  MRI, CAT scan, ultra-sound,… . The difference is, it can be used to scan the harmony of ART, which can in turn affect the peace of your soul!

And to look elsewhere for newness is merely to find oneself chasing his own tail like a dog,–with Andy Warhol, and his long train of Pop/conceptual movement out there happily selling “newness” on the cheap!

Figure 1: Woman With Cat

BEAUTY rests only in the UNKNOWN. It never comes from the process of thinking. Having said that, one may be fully assured “conceptual art” is simply worthless speculation about BEAUTY.

Ideation about the thing is not the thing itself!

“I seek the knowledge of love but I have never been in love…!”

What stupidity! Throw the bum out!

Thundered the Alpha Seer… .

The academic is the bum!

It should be clear to all that thinking is from memory, and memory is dead. “There is nothing new under the sun!” declared Nietzsche. And he was also right with art !
If a piece of work has failed to transport your spirit to the BEYOND, or the ABSOLUTE,–that profound realm of the mysterious, one can dismiss it altogether. It has no more merit inside a room than any other object found there!
Never mind what the academics tell you! The tragic thing in these times of ours is not that those “experts” cannot tell art apart from non-art,–the deepest tragedy lies instead in the public’s total reliance on those so-called experts or “specialists!”
I call it Humanity’s most unforgivable surrender to evil since the Holocaust,– when apathy, coupled with herd instinct, had enabled Adolf Hitler’s twisted mind to carry out its evil design unimpeded.
Be fooled NOT by your own Ego! NEVER trust your herd instincts or the so-called conventional wisdom! ( e.g. Oh, yeah, I think Andy Warhol, Marcel Duchamp, Turner, Cy Twombly, or Rauschenberg is a great  artist because so and so says so…, VIPs like Arthur Danto or Alberto Bingo had said so!– even though I do not have the foggiest clue what they really wanted to say!–I ‘d better agree with them,– hey, who am I to disagree with experts? Yeah, it would be safer to do so, or else I can become a laughing stock among my peers!)

A work of art is REALLY not what you think! Thinking itself has no merit!

Listen to Mozart/ Bach/Beethoven, then blare out the Beatles, the Blues, the Jazz or whatsoever tunes that have found a path via the market to the public’s ears in the last 150 years. Make earnest comparisons and feel the difference! Anyone can do it! The difference is not so difficult to detect. As long as you are not impatient ,–you can be better off than any “expert” on earth! Patience comes from BEAUTY itself,– within you! It is the only luxury you have when all else fails! The experts, or “famous artists” or professors, or critics/ art dealers” may have learned the jargon, the technicalities, the anecdotes, certain names or events, they may even talk like a lawyer, dangling in your face a name card showing a title of Ph.D, or a tenure at Harvard or Yale,– but they are irrelevant!

Friends: you only need to know one thing: the DIFFERENCE!

That silence in the DIFFERENCE should trump all their petty knowledge! It is on the circumference of music that those “learned men or women” have built their “knowledge” and livelihood, but your feeling of the DIFFERENCE is a most powerful tool,–since you have gone into the heart of a composition, feeling its Yin and Yang, or its black and white, and you have studied its very soul!

An academic’s dictation eventually should no longer have any place in your heart, deciding which music provides the best benefit to you from now on!

If an individual is thus rebellious, there is still hope! The academics, who are the impostors, (the Alpha Seer will call anyone with the pretension of the spiritual, or Knowledge of BEAUTY,– an impostor,–since BEAUTY is the regime of the artistic geniuses only,–and their number is so small that they can be counted on one hand. For example, we only have Picasso, Matisse, Gorky,  De Kooning, and Knox Martin in the last 75 years! What I can find by my tea table through earnest comparison,– so can you, my friend!

Have doubt in what the Alpha Seer tells you, but see it for yourself! If there is only doubt where one is too lazy to check on the facts, only cynicism remains.

Yes, the academics will cease to find a place in your heart, as neither would you offer sanctuary to ANY of their recommendations in your mind. When that happens, you are rejecting their conditioning of your mind.

Unless one can rinse free of their continued attempts at mind-conditioning, there can be no freedom for Humanity! There will always be another Hitler in your future. There will always be the Pope, the Mullah, the “beloved leader… .” There will always be the academics, who are the High Priests of rites and rituals, be that of a certain belief, or of art, or just about any kind of learning!

What one can do with music,– one may do likewise with ART. Set up a Titian, a Velazquez, a Frans Hals, a Rubens, an Ingres, or a Cezanne by your tea table,– look intently at them; making sure that you have been taken in by their sublime forms; then place some of what the academia have the audacity to call “art”,– next to any of them.  One may soon realize that, in true art there is found the magic to engage your soul! That is the very magic of BEAUTY,– from which a wondrous relationship is derived. That relationship, or composition, is a blueprint for the universe, or for existence itself,–since it is the very relationship of Yin and Yang,–

Albert Einstein once exclaimed, ” Nothing can be more beautiful than the mysterious!” Beautiful is the mystery that resides in those sublime forms!

All you ever need to determine what is beautiful Vs what is not is through the simple act of COMPARISON and constant observation, since the very mystery that Einstein has alluded to abides in the sublime composition of true ART!

Look deeply, making notes of formal BEAUTY, which is the Yin and Yang itself. If you are aware enough, you can actually hear falsehood drop away with an alarming throb.

The work of impostors cannot stand up to earnest scrutiny!

Don’t let Ego fool you. Eager to achieve, the Ego is perpetually saying: “Okay, I’ve got it,”– while in truth, one remains in stupidity and ignorance! Go back to Square One!–roared the Alpha Seer… .
So watch your Ego! If you cannot be sure, simply be honest with yourself.
You must look in the mirror and ask yourself: can I be such a fraud day in and day out,– and carry with me all my life such self-delusion?

In the event that the difference between the pieces cannot be yielded,– even under long and painful scrutiny, as may be the case with a good percentage of us, ( please don’t feel sad: Humanity is pretty blind to BEAUTY in the first place),– then ART is probably not something for you!

Look instead at the flowers of Springtime,– or a glorious sunset by the end of a fine day,–allowing the happy sights of mountains, trees or rivers to dissolve in it. Beauty found in nature may prove more suited to your temperaments than ART at a museum or gallery! Galleries are run by impostors anyway!

Or you may find beauty in songs, dance, or poetry!

Existence can be blissful,–and with BEAUTY in life, so spiritual, and powerful!

Visit Master Ben Lau on Facebook to view more of the few items that can be truly called ART in MIA.

Like every other museum in the rest of the world, the MIA is 99% junks, and ONLY 1% artistic genius,… .

Visiting the museum  without first knowing what ART is, is a  waste of your time!

If you are “excited” by the silly yellow ball hanging down from the ceiling, greeting every MIA visitor like a genuine piece of junk, you are a lost soul…!    (The Alpha Seer has skipped polite language and has chosen to go straight to the heart of things!)

But you are not alone, like millions of other lost souls, you are just trying to satisfy the herd instinct within yourself by visiting museums or art galleries,–so as to be called ” a man/woman of culture, or someone with good taste!”) You are simply watering “art” down as if it were a magic pill for the ailments caused by the lack of spiritual worth in your life!

Free yourself from this self-deception! Find out what ART is before going to any museum next time! Visit www.knoxmartin.com, www.trueartblog.com,  www.mnartists.org/Master Ben Lau, www. alphaseer.artists.de.

The Alpha Seer points out that real music can only be composed by geniuses such as Mozart, Beethoven, and Haydn, not the likes of the Beatles, Frank Sinatra, BB King, Madonna, or Lady Gaga,… .

If you are convinced that music is very special and very specific, why would you want to view ART any differently?

Yes, art can only be caused by artistic geniuses,–not IMPOSTORS,– such as Andy Warhol, Rauschenburg, or Cy Twombly… .

Ben Lau the Alpha Seer can point out to you who those geniuses are in www.trueartblog.com… .

Folks in modern time often hang this in

their mouth:  “Great” this or “great” that! (referring to the

Lucien Freud article. Freud had been called a “great Realist”,

but he is actually an impostor! The critic Robert Hughes is a

blind fish, to say the least!)

There is no art in realism. Realism means

illustration. Only the lowest kinds of intellect

would waste their time doing illustration, or imitation!

When such people rise to fame, with many other fools

blowing his trumpet, egging him on,

Humanity is loathed! The true greatness of

the era is insulted!

************************************************************************

The following is an excerpt from a correspondence,… .

The Ego is a false identity stemming from the need to protect the body right from the beginning, –i.e. birth of the being. It tells a being that he is whosoever,– but whosoever he is not in fact! For example, it tells YYY that he is Chinese, and that he must love his country and the rest of the nonsense. It tells YYY that he must behave in a moralistic manner and refrain from evils,–and the rest of the garbage,… .  Then it is conditioned to conjure up all kinds of evils and various ways to avoid them,… . Further inventions of the mind would include Heaven and Hell, saints and sinners, good and bad,… . The Ego is of a split mind and exists in dualities.  Further and further is he being led into this dungeon, and more and more is he trapped in his Ego! He cannot expect to be a free man at all if he fails to be aware of Ego’s inner working. Gutama Buddha is one of the rare beings who is aware of the inner working of the Ego. That is why he is also called the Awaken One.

Now a person is inevitably under  constant stress since so much in life has been demanded of him. His pump of life,–i.e. his own heart, which by karma is not one of his strongest features, must now work much harder than a person who is aware of the Ego’s inner workings.

All thinking conjures up the Ego, so thinking is your enemy! Try to observe your thoughts with your Inner eye, that is how one can be free from his own Ego. Under observation, thoughts come and go in fragments. They are like clouds in the sky. They cannot do anything to harm a person in full awareness,… . That is the experience of the Buddha, who had absorbed this valuable Knowledge from the realized masters before him through his own supreme intuition. Intuition is the highest of intelligence.

If one is able to be fully awake every minute of his life, he is practicing true meditation. For a mentally healthy person, or someone who is intuitive enough to understand the Ego, meditation is nothing but the easiest thing in the world. Being healthy and mentally awake is a gift in and of itself. One cannot wish for it. Desire has nothing to do with it. It just comes with the being at birth. It has to do with your Karma. It is the way of a being’s spiritual evolution, purifying itself in the endless cycles of births and deaths. There is negative evolution as well. Every action begets a consequence. It is not a belief, but rather, a scientific way of observing existence. The Buddha has a very scientific mind, and his subject matter is existence.

The ancient Hindu masters learned that birth does not end in death, but countless cycles of births and deaths exist, molded by the Karmic force.

Karma, simply put, is but the consequence of an action. And life is but the episode of a dream.

***************************************************************************************************************

Osho is a realized master,–he is Gutama Buddha made easy,.. .

J. Krishnamurti is another realized master, but he knows the working of the Western mind well and his focus is upon the dissolution of the Western mind. Osho, on the other hand, expounds Knowledge that effects a much farther reach.  He is conducting an orchestra, whereas Krishamurti plays his flute solo.

Osho was poisoned by the CIA during the Reagan Administration. He was poisoned with thalmia, then relentlessly banished from the USA and other Christian countries all over Europe and Asia! Christianity cannot compete with him ,–how  can it…. ? So Osho must be gotten rid off. Lies are no match for truth! When the sun appears, the snowman is at risk of melting. Santa Claus is a lie, God is likewise a lie, then heaven and hell, punishment and reward, … . All inventions of the mind,… and the mind is very cunning,…. ! Such things can only exist in the mind, where illusions and grandeur are generated, coming and going like clouds in the sky. Buddha had declared that God does not exist, but the Buddhists worships him like one. Buddha says everyone can be a Buddha, i.e. the Awaken One, but people do not want to be awake. They want worship. They do not want freedom. They want religion!

***************************************************************************************************************

WHAT IS CORRECT MEDITATION?

Just relax, do nothing, observe the inner working of the Ego, observe the inner working of the mind, … . Observe the surrounding world. Observe the Here and Now. Observe WITHOUT THE OBSERVER if that is possible. If not, then observe with love and faith for the master. Only those at the latter stages of enlightenment have learned how to observe without the observer,–the observer is in fact the Ego, who constantly judges. When one is properly relaxed, Qi can flow well. With the proper flow of Qi, bodily wellness may be enhanced. The Karmic forces can eventually be harnessed with choiceless awareness.

Relax and do nothing at all! It is not a crime just sitting around doing nothing at all. Yes, a bum does exactly that, but folks with the highest intelligence do that pretty often too,…!  O.K. be a bum then! What can you lose? You have come with nothing, and with nothing you will leave!

When you feel restless, it is your Ego. When angry, it is the projection of your inner being,–when sad, your Ego is at work!  No one can make you do anything unless you react to the stimuli caused by your Ego.

Of course you cannot stop thinking,– as thinking is a body/mental function. Nor can you avoid thinking at all. You can only observe it. You can observe the thoughts’ coming and going. When thinking is under observation, they would dissipate like cloud in a blue sky,–or as demons escaping from a great horrendous power. Then any emotion or desire arising from thinking is but a bubble burst,–for the person who is fully awake!

How that is possible one has no idea, but the point is, it works,–and it heals you a little bit more everytime you meditate!

Try it and see that for yourself!

This final version of a series of 5 similar motifs has been achieved through endless corrections and observations. The last great piece by the Alpha Seer was balanced in its composition only after a 10 year long period of endless studies and hard work.

I believe that all other true masters, i.e. super-creators such as the great Knox Martin,Titian,Velazquez, Franz Hals, Cezanne, Picasso, Matisse and deKooning had not gone about balancing their composition any more differently. Velazquez, for example, would not have come to his own terms of maturity and  enlightenment had not Rubens,– then an ambassador sent from the Netherlands to the Spanish Court, asked the latter to seriously consider studying Titian  in order to achieve his goal to be one of the great masters of all times. That is a very touching piece of episode in the history of great art indeed!

The “ANYTHING GOES” attitude shown by our Postmodernist friends, who have the guts to call themselves “artists”, painters, or sculptors, is therefore madly at variance with the great timeless creative spirit of mankind.

It goes without saying that in anything they try to accomplish there is the  wrong FIRST move,–right from the very beginning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
