Manifesto of Gestalt Apocrypha

One must strive to understand all forms at the same time, it is best not to see two faces, or to see the goblet in the famous image, but instead one must be able two sea the faces and the goblet. The Gestalt switch is the change the mind makes in switching from the sight of the goblet to the sight of the faces.

Understanding this is like understanding a deck of cards. The top card of an unobserved deck of cards is not any card in the deck; it is every card in the deck, until it is observed. To understand the Apocrypha, I provide the following set of guidelines.

 “Moderation” -This is Key – IN EVERYTHING Even itself.
Spend your life in search of all moderation,
Only then will you see Altom.

 “Balance” -This is Ideal – IN EVERYTHING Strive for balance
Strive for balance. Spend your life in search of it
Only then will you see Kryses.

 “Travel” -This is Real – IN EVERYTHING seek to see. Go
where you can. Spend your life in more than once place.
Only then will you see Trace

 “Anapathy” -This is All – IN EVERYTHING believe in what you do
Care in what you are.
Only then will you know Templos

To Further understand you must see the “Aspects of the universe”

The universe is SPACE, formed and vast, Seemingly beyond all bounds
infinitely large , INFINITELY SMALL.
Space shapes Chaos

The universe is ENERGY, motion and life, fire and spirit, stars and pressure
Energy is found in all things.
Energy shapes Space

The universe is CHAOS, disordered and Random.
ENTROPY
Chaos shapes Energy.

Chaos leads to the wonders of the universe
Energy leads to the wonders of the universe
Space leads to the wonders of the universe.
The UNIVERSE is TIME.
Time Cradles and flows through ALL.

These lead to the “Metaphors of Aspect”
Be they gods or Terms, Given in a dream by the napping cat….

o To space shall be given the name Trace
She will form all matter, Space is Trace

o To energy shall be given the name Altom
He will give motion to all, Energy is Altom

o To chaos shall be given the name Kryses
She will give meaning to all, Kryses is Chaos

o Time, TIME. Shall be given the name Templos
He will hold the others together, Templos is time

Can you begin to see? Can you hear? Does the Universe seem ONE and MANY and … NONE? Apply this to everything, but not everything, and nothing, but not nothing, that you are, that you do.

As helpful guides to understanding, I shall include the following discoveries, following viewpoints to aide in the apocrypha of everything.

1. What is known.
IF there is but one answer, it is wrong. If there are many Answers they are correct. If there is No answer, there is an answer. If this answer is not known, it is correct.

2. Causality
The cause is the effect is the cause. If A leads to B then B implies A. However if A is B and B is A, A may happen, B may happen. A may lead to B. A is not required to lead to B. There is no reason that the effect does not create the cause.

3. Nomenclature
A name is a name, A thing is a thing. A thing not need a name, A name need not thing. Use Neologisms, create language but DO NOT NAME what needs no name.

4. Memory
What is forgotten, that does no longer exist. NEVER EXISTED. Do not forget what you wish to live on.

5. Cycles
Not Everything has a beginning… Not Everything has an END
-Not every beginning leads to an end.
-This is council to causality.

6. Instincts
Follow them, believe in the, – they will often be correct. If they are not, you will still be satisfied they are echoes from your subconscious mind, memories that will not cease to be forgotten this is council to Memory

7. Fate
You are all fated. Fate will take its course. Your destiny will happen. You can change this fate, you can force this fate, but you must will it do to so. Your will is only free if you force it so.

8. Exception
There is an exception to everything; even this rule has an exception.

Let this guide you through life, through everything you are, everything that you do. The world is closed, peoples minds are only cracked open. Let curiosity rain down upon us all, for it did kill the cat, but perhaps not as you think. The cat burst from holding so much curiosity within. Speaking of cats, never disturb a napping cat, for their Memory may very well hold us all in place.

May you now go forth into a newly opened world, seeing everything as it is, from all sides, from all view points, within and without. Seek, in knowledge and learning, in painting and photography, in sculpture and literature, Poet your Poetry, Sing your Songs, Breathe your Breaths, in health and sickness. Seek to better yourself, better others. Do not forget Moderation, Travel, Balance and Anapathy. Seek the question to the answer, and live as did the Greeks, for life may indeed end, in death.
