The Morphealist Manifesto - Revisited September 2, 1997
Morpheal
THE MORPHEALIST MANIFESTO
We, Morphealists, believe in Change. We, Morphealists, believe in nothing
else, as being absolute, other than Change. We 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 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.Even 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, 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. 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 does not now exist, is
subject to the power of Change, such 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 possibilities, Morphealism
deals with the manifestation into reality of the Surrealist Idea. 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 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, defined 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 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's
results, products, effects, are subject to Change. Unlike everything before
it, Morphealism has no ideology, and refuses to be
used by any ideology as 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, as did 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.
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 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 existed, exists
or ever shall exist, as becoming the whole of the Morpheality.
--------------------------------------------------------
Postscript: Though one must inevitably expect that what will be changed will
be what one least of all wants to change, in a manner that one least
desires that
to be changed at the worst possible moment for that to happen. Though that
too is subject to change when change is least expected. That does not amend
or revise The Morphealist Manifesto. To the contrary, that also indicates
that the manifesto announces the inevitable wave of the future, and the
future is always already begun before it is announced by anyone.
