The Morphealist Manifesto (after Surrealism,...)
Morpheal
We, Morphealists, believe in Change. We, Morphealists, believe in
nothing else, as being absolute, other than Change.We, Morphealists,
believe that everything Changes. We believe that everything that
existed, in what is commonly referred to as "the past", that exists in
what is commonly referred to as "the present", or that could exist, in
what is commonly referred to as "the future", is subject to Change. In
fact, so is what is past, present and future, subject to Change. We
believe that anything, that is either imaginable or unimaginable, has
existed, or could exist, somewhere in the absolute of all of space and
all of time.
We believe that the limits of the human imagination are also completely
subject to Change. We believe that what was, what is, and what shall be
imagined, in its distinction to what is now considered real, is subject
to change. We believe in the power of Change as being the last and only
remaining genuinely supernatural power. The power of Change remains
supernatural, because Change and only Change transcends all previously
existing, now existing, and future existing, actual and potential,
natures and powers, as their only constant. There are no other, real,
constants in Nature or in Science. All other apparent constants are
subject to Change. We believe that the effective processes, that
existed, exist, or that shall exist, are all subject to Change.
Causalities, all causal relations themselves, are potentially subject
to Change. The fact that a particular observable cause gives rise to a
particular observable effect, and that that is commonly believed to be
predictably thus, is not necessarily thus in the past or in the future.
It was only thus at that moment of the observation and prediction. That
apparent thusness, no matter how many times the same is observed or how
carefully and closely it is scrutinized and measured, is subject to
Change. This is not negated by any fact of a continuous series of
similar or identical causal relations, having been apparently observed,
between any particular kind of presumed cause and any particular
presumed kind of effect, nor by how many times that same was observed.
The only certainty in causality is Change.
Change is not a theoretical principle, or an idea, or an existent, or
an energetic force, and yet there is nothing whatever, that ever
existed, that exists, or is yet to exist, that is not subject to Change,
and which does not exhibit the effects of Change. Change is everywhere,
and in everything, and yet change is not any particular thing, or any
particular principle. It is the most fundamental characteristic of
everywhere and everything. In fact there is no thought, and there are no
ideas, without Change. The very intention of keeping an idea in mind, as
it has arisen there, itself involves Change. Any mental activity
involves Changes. The mind is essentially Change. Minds constantly
Change.
We believe that everything that once existed, and everything that does
not now exist, is subject to the power of Change, such that that shall
somewhere, someday, exist again. In fact we believe that, subject to the
power of Change, that which did not ever exist and that which appeared
to have passed from existence, might subsequently have existed, or not
ever have not existed. We believe then, that neither the logical
proposition that it did not exist, nor the logical proposition that it
never did not exist, is falsified. This is a radical departure from all
previous beliefs and thinking. Similarly, we believe, with equal
resolve, that, subject to the power of Change, what exists and was
known, with absolute certainty, to have existed, might henceforth not
exist and then be known, with absolute certainty, as never having
existed. We believe then, that neither the logical proposition, it
existed, nor the logical proposition, it never existed, is falsified.
This is another radical departure from all previous thinking. We believe
that Change is the fundamental paradox, and that all paradoxes of time
and space are ultimately resolvable to that fundamental paradox. We
believe that Change is absolute and that all changing is itself subject
to Change. We believe that the rate of change might be stopped,
accelerated, or decreased, in any instance of anything changing, by
means of Change. The apparent limitations as to effecting this, whether
they are limitations as to thought or technology, are subject to Change.
Ultimately even the means of effecting such Changes could themselves be
effected by Change and could be themselves Changed. Morphealism is the
belief in the effecting of changes.
The advance forces of the Morphealist movement are the artists.
Morphealism is the successor of Surrealism. Where Surrealism dealt with
the idea and its transmutations and permutations of its possibilities,
Morphealism deals with the manifestation into reality of the Surrealist
Ideas. The Surrealists were the early prophets of Morphealism. Their
domain was the production of icons and symbols, within a language that
pertains to the transformations of the mind as its thoughts. This was
the first realization of the world as being a Morpheality.
We Morphealists recognize the fact that the mind is a mirror of the
external world. Thoughts are the mirror in which the world reflects. The
nature of the mind's processes reflect the nature of the world as
manifestations of the very same Morpheality. We Morphealists recognize
that the mind and its thoughts, as it was, is, and shall be, is subject
to being Changed as a part of the world as Morpheality. The stuff that
the world is made of, its matter and energies, its quanta, are the stuff
that Morpheality is comprised of. Morphealism in the arts is the
forerunner of Morphealism in those realities that go beyond the arts.
The arts provide the experimental basis for the implementation of the
techniques of Morphealism to the whole of the world as Morpheality.
Whereas Surrealism was a new school, a new style, a new genre, of art
and within the arts, we Morphealists announce the end of all schools,
styles, and genres of art. In Morphealism art is liberated from the
categories that human thinking imposed upon it and from all the
traditional categories that did, do, or ever could, define the arts. We
Morphealists believe that all transmutations and transformations, all
transubstantiations, of anything that was, is, or is yet to be, are an
art. That is the final art that is no longer art as it was known, and
the final art that is the culmination of all of the arts, and of all
artistic schools, styles and genres. It is not where art and life once
met, or meet, but instead where art and life become the same. It is
where art is life and where life is art.
Morphealism is the first advance in thinking that has no ancestry. All
of Morphealism's predecessors and ancestors are subject to Change. All
of Morphealism's methods, techniques, means and ways, are subject to
Change. This distinguishes Morphealism from all precedents. All of
Morphealism's results, products, effects, are subject to Change. Unlike
everything before it, Morphealism has no ideology, and refuses to be
used by any ideology. With the advent of Morphealism we Morphealists
believe that all ideologies are subject to Change. We Morphealists
announce the final end of art and the beginning of Morpheality where
Morphealism has no specific materials or effects distinctive unto
itself, unlike all previous arts and technologies, but instead is
inclusive of all the potentialities of all possible involvements with
all possible and imaginable past, present, and future materials and
means of Change. Morphealism is the culmination of the prophecies of
alchemy, and thus of the dreams of the sciences, as to the Great Work of
transmutation that becomes Morphealism's Changing of everything into
absolute Morpheality. Morphealism and the production of Morpheality is
the final purpose of humanity. Morphealism is the final method
inclusive of all methods and thus the liberation from methods.
Morpheality is the final result, inclusive of all possible results and
thus the liberation from efficacies. Morphealism is the new and
constant dynamism that is productive of the world of human and non human
beings, of all that existed, exists or ever shall exist, as becoming
the whole of the Morpheality.
Political Postscript:
As Morphealism gains precedence that bursting forth of unfettered
creativity brings about an ever increasing and more complex Chaos,
thwarting all attempts at determinism and totalism. Chaos as product of
Morphealism, understood as the manifestations of more, therefore less
and less predictable, creative interactions, and as the results of
unfettered creativity known as its products.

We Cytherists wonder why the few Men of Ideas, who continue to (optimistically?) read this newsgroup, do not apparently mind that it sucks it through a straw.
We Cytherists are getting a headache. We will go read Artaud now because We have a sorE Throat and are staying in Today (what is commonly referred to as those hours between light and dark.).
Fuck this.

Well at least it uses a straw: hygiene you know. But it isn't - by any
stretch - optimism that keeps me popping in from time to time. It's more
like boredom.
Daleonists like to eat their malted mammograms with a tuning fork.

Then why cannot I imagine what Cythera looks like ? I must see with my eyes.
Then why cannot I imagine what Cythera sounds like ? I must hear with my ears.

At least there is some intake of fluid meaning via the straw, and although the world
is full of invalids they are likely to avoid perishing if they take a little sustenance.
> We Cytherists are getting a headache. We will go read Artaud now because We have a sorE Throat and are staying in Today (what is commonly referred to as those hours between light and dark.).
I hope the sore throat is less than a hole in the throat,.... and breathing through a straw. I automatically assumed the straw was for fluid meaning, rather than for
a more pneumatic exchange.
> Fuck this.
That seems rather sexual. You feel stricken ?
There are, without doubt, nicer ways to make "love" rather than merely striking
two bodies together. I would not want to fuck with anything either. Least of all
with anyone I really like. Intimacy should be more than merely a fuck, regardless
of whether it is mental or both mental and physical.

Hygiene was never the concern, as each must be kept to their own particular
straw. No sharing of straws, and no letting anyone else pull one's straw
either. Best to pull one's own, when it comes to straws. Unless you have
someone whom you would particularly like to have pull your straw, and then we
shall leave the balance of that scene to any anonymous instance of imagination.

You might be right. Some of the figures in some of Dali's paintings appear to
be on chemotherapy. We can determine that by careful examination of the hair,
teeth and nails. Then there are indications in of some of the female images of
what might be interpreted as mastectomy. No indications, as far as I can
discern, of any implants or reconstructive surgery. Seems the latter was not
readily available during much of Dali's time period.... but then Dali
admittedly did not like women or men. He was against men and against women.
However there is no dispute as to Dali being in love with his wife Gala. What
are we to make of all that, psychoanalytically ?

Like a match? Rather often, but not in this case:
