The End of Surrealism
BOB EZERGAILIS
THE MORPHEALIST MANIFESTO
We, Morphealists, believe in Change.
We, Morphealists, believe in nothing else, as being absolute, other than Change
Morphealists, believe that everything Changes.
We believe that everything that existed in what is commonly referred to as "the
that exists in what is commonly referred to as "the present", or that could exi
what is commonly referred to as "the future", is subject to Change. In fact, so
is past, present and future, subject to Change.
We believe that anything, that is either imaginable or unimaginable, has existe
could exist, somewhere in the absolute of all of space and all of time. We bel
the limits of the human imagination are also completely subject to Change. We b
that what was, what is, and what shall be, imagined in its distinction to what
subject to change.
We believe in the power of Change as being the last and only remaining genuinel
supernatural power. The power of Change remains supernatural, because Change an
only Change transcends all previously existing, now existing, and future existi
and potential natures and powers, as their only constant. There are no other, r
constants in Nature or in Science. All other apparent constants are subject to
Even the effective processes, that existed, exist, or that shall exist, are all
Change.
Causalities, all causal relations themselves, are potentially subject to Chang
that a particular observable cause gives rise to a particular observable effect
that is commonly believed to be predictably thus, is not necessarily thus in th
in the future. It was only thus at that moment of the observation and predictio
apparent thusness, no matter how many times the same is observed or how careful
and closely it is scrutinized, is subject to Change. This is not negated by any
continuous series of similar or identical causal relations, having been apparen
observed, between any particular kind of presumed cause and any particular pres
kind of effect. The only certainty in causality is Change.
Change is not a theoretical principle, or an idea, or an existent, or an energ
and yet there is nothing whatever, that ever existed, that exists, or is yet to
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 t
any particular principle. It is the most fundamental characteristic of everywhe
everything.
In fact there is no thought, and there are no ideas, without Change. The very i
of keeping an idea in mind, as it has arisen there, itself involves Change. Any
activity involves Changes. The mind is essentially Change. Minds constantly Cha
We believe that everything that once existed, and does not now exist, is subjec
power of Change, such that shall somewhere, someday, exist again. In fact we be
that, subject to the power of Change, that which did not ever exist and that wh
appeared to have passed from existence, might subsequently have existed, or not
have not existed. We believe then, that neither the logical proposition that it
exist, nor the logical proposition that it never did not exist, is falsified. T
departure from all previous beliefs and thinking.
Similarly, we believe, with equal resolve, that, subject to the power of Change
exists and was known, with absolute certainty, to have existed, might, hencefor
exist and then be known, with absolute certainty, as never having existed. We b
then, that neither the logical proposition, it existed, nor the logical proposi
never existed, is falsified. This is another radical departure from all previou
We believe that Change is the fundamental paradox, and that all paradoxes of ti
and space are ultimately resolvable to that fundamental paradox.
We believe that Change is absolute and that all changing is itself subject to C
We believe that the rate of change might be stopped, accelerated, or decreased,
instance of anything changing, by means of Change. The apparent limitations as
effecting this, whether they are limitations as to thought or technology, are s
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
successor of Surrealism. Where Surrealism dealt with the idea and its transmuta
and permutations of possibilities, Morphealism deals with the manifestation int
of the Surrealist Idea. The Surrealists were the early prophets of Morphealism
domain was the production of icons and symbols, within a language that pertains
the transformations of the mind as its thoughts. This was the first realization
world as being Morpheality.
We Morphealists recognize the fact that the mind is a mirror of the external wo
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 bein
as a part of the world as Morpheality.
The stuff that the world is made of, its matter and energies, its quanta, are t
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 t
whole of the world as Morpheality.
Whereas Surrealism was a new school, a new style, a new genre, of art and withi
arts, we Morphealists announce the end of all schools, styles, and genres of ar
Morphealism art is liberated from the categories that human thinking imposed up
and from all the traditional categories that did, do or ever could, defined the
Morphealists believe that all transmutations and transformations, all
transubstantiations, of anything that was, is, or is yet to be, are an art. Tha
art that is no longer art as it was known, and the final art that is the culmin
of the arts, and of all artistic schools, styles and genres. It is not where ar
once met or meet, but instead where art and life become the same. It is where a
life and life is art.
Morphealism is the first advance in thinking that has no ancestry. All of Morph
predecessors and ancestors are subject to Change. All of Morphealism's methods,
techniques, means and ways, are subject to Change. This distinguishes Morpheali
from all precedents. All of Morphealism's's results, products, effects, are sub
Change. Unlike everything before it, Morphealism has no ideology, and refuses t
used by any ideology as with the advent of Morphealism we Morphealists believe
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,
previous arts and technologies, but instead is inclusive of all the potentialit
possible involvements with all possible and imaginable past, present, and futur
materials and means, of Change. Morphealism is the culmination of the prophecie
alchemy, and thus of the dreams of the sciences, as to the Great Work of
transmutation that becomes Morphealism's Changing of everything.
Morphealism and the production of Morpheality is the final purpose of humanity.
Morphealism is the final method inclusive of all methods and t the liberation f
methods. Morpheality is the final result, inclusive of all possible results and
liberation from efficacies. Morphealism is the new and constant dynamism that
productive of the world of human and non human beings, of all existed, exists o
shall exist, as becoming the whole of the Morpheality.
