“You are the divine consciousness in this Aquarian pattern and it’s not the hierarchy. If you are au fait with the circumstances you’re in and around you and you’re actually creating the situation…. The whole purpose of life these days is that you find the guidance within yourself, nothing else.”

Afferently orientated people who are subject to it. This means that it
is the Afferently orientated that are in the forefront of all this
trouble. The indication is that it is Afference against Efference, not
vengeance, but a restoring of the balance between the two, an overcoming
of the imbalance caused by the formation of the IMAGE"

"Chaos is insidious but weak and it yields to strongly aware Afference. The last thing that you need is the "wisdom" of the past, even that of yesterday contains this chaos and this breeds more chaos. Turn to your inner self and know the answer, but never look back."

METAMORPHOSIS
The principle of Metamorphosis is based on what I call Afference and Efference. Afference is the principle of pure consciousness, life itself, and is non-physical. Efference is the substance of life, the physical substance and the “manifestation” of Afference. Afference is the activator and Efference is the responder. Afference is life itself and Efference, in its response, is the active fulfilment of life. All of this is, of course, in perfection and is the aim and accomplishment of Metamorphosis. In practice we tend to be out of tune with these two primary principles and our troubles and stresses in life are due to this. Metamorphosis aims to re-establish this balance and restore harmony, but often not without a certain amount of disturbance – a “healing crisis” or the bringing of our former ailments and stresses up to the surface for dismissal.
Although Metamorphosis started (in the middle 1950’s) as a physical application to “so called” reflexes in the feet, hands and head, it has become a more or less non-physical application of thought, but still through the fingers.
Thought is the medium of consciousness and it is consciousness activating substance which is the principle of life. It is thought, through the medium of the hands and fingers which is the application of Metamorphosis. This sounds terribly abstract and complicated, but it is very simple and easy to do.

'I can observe all of these patterns in people; I can see the way people bounce, if you want. I can see the picture. That's what all this means. You see, all this is an analysis of the structure of mankind, humankind. It's not just Metamorphosis but it's what's behind Metamorphosis. It's what makes Metamorphosis a theme, or a method, which resolves this problem, all these problems of the pattern of life'.

“”The mind is a subtle force which permeates the minds of others, and also is permeated by their minds. We communicate through thoughts and feeling, and in this way communicate our true motivation, often at a level of consciousness that leaves us unaware of what we are doing.”

"True function stems from the source of life in us, Consciousness, and this requires no symbology to bring it into use, but as long as we have blocks and inhibitions we require some form of symbology to help us function. Action requires consciousness and if we need an aid to arrive at that point then a symbol is necessary."

If you use any of the methods of the application of Metamorphosis, the "Motive" that you have, consciously or unconsciously is what controls the situation. There are two factors that seem to control the situation - are you really "in tune" with your own consciousness or, alternatively, are you functioning in the "now"
Consciousness Can we be "in touch" with Consciousness (the Universal Source) or are we only in touch with consciousness (our own modified version).To be in touch with Consciousness not having any attachment to the past (or the future) This is what we are aiming at, but by "aiming" we will fail because we are using the mind, a mechanism designed for sensual or Mother Earth function. It can only be accomplished by "Being"

"You see Afference, at the moment, is sitting up there....if you want to look at it from that point of view, radiating pure energy, the energy of life itself. It’s becoming more and more powerful and the more powerful it is the more we're feeling stirred up by it. Some people very very badly and disturbingly, to murder, to rape and all that sort of thing, some people to commit suicide and so on, some people to using it creatively. But we're not doing awfully well; we're doing moderately, only moderately. We've got to do vastly better because it's going to increase enormously. Now the logical end of Afference's manifestation is that the Sun disappears and becomes eternal light, that’s a tall order isn't it? That's a logical conclusion and Afference is in orbit as it were, it's in the principle of our lives, its radiating energy, the energy of life. Efference is doing not badly but needing an awful lot of prodding and so on to get it on the move. The process of change is advancing enormously fast and it’s up to us to keep up with it."

"Consciousness is always present and available within us and a reference to it will always affect a change in the pattern of whatever is in the structure of the mind at the moment, provides us with a source of energy and guidance which is the principle of God himself."…
“Metamorphosis uses many symbols like the spinal reflexes on the Feet, Hands, Head and also the Hand Symbols. Afference and Efference are word symbols, Afference meaning Consciousness and Efference matter, the two are one and essential to each other. The separation of these essential elements – no longer has to have a controlling effect on our lives. We can now do something to erase it, Metamorphosis.

"If we consider the creation of "imagery" we see that all theology, all reference to "God", all esoteric thought, meditation, prayer and all forms of inspirational though belong to this creation. Everything, in fact, which is from an outside source, rather than our own inner realisation and perception. This is a rather sweeping and, possibly, devastating concept because we are not raised, educated or taught in this way."

"One of the most “far out” concepts of Metamorphosis is "Creation". Creation brings a balance of mind, of unconscious aspects that we know little or nothing about. Quote from Metamorphosis News 2 - If Afference fails to create it is because there is something there in the way, a "block", a "memory" out of the past. But if Afference just "Creates", it over-rules this block and by this act it becomes a Creator. This is metamorphosis.

RSJ:...we don't use more than one thousandth part of our beingness, our Consciousness and its quite easy to use it once we clear up the debris but as long as we're holding on to the past we're not living in the present and all that Metamorphosis is doing is unhooking the past, the debris we're holding onto out of the distant past. Its very real, all that distant past.
Its built into us physically in the genes so every cell in our body contains the genetic pattern and all the disasters of the past that are in the genetic pattern. All we've got to do is undo them. Its extraordinary how we can clear that pattern away and it becomes very physical.

THE CONCEPTUAL PATTERN by Robert St John Oct.1979
It is the absoluteness of consciousness that makes the recreation. We don’t even have to think about it. The very turning on of the light of consciousness or the contacting of the light of consciousness alters the entire concept of everything that has happened since then, so we alter every aspect of our lives, if we let it happen. It is very easy not to let it happen; very easy not to allow change to take place. If we have strong motives, strong desires or habits or whatever else it may be, we can refuse to allow those to move away, as it were, and we just hold onto the old pattern … so we tend to have to continue for a while to persist in the reference as it were, to that prime moment, that first moment. sent in by Carmel Cremin

"I don't see real doom and disaster, I see a recreation, quite a big change for everybody but the principle Afference, the light of Consciousness is a controlling influence which presents its purpose and Efference responds to that presentation, that's the ideal but Efference is a bit full of all the chaos. But one little bit, one soupcon of an Afferent principle presented to Efference can clear millions of years of stress patterns that have been built up and we're managing that."

“In fact it’s the principle of the thing itself because you can create within yourself the whole Oneness of love and that’s you’re responsibility in life. You see Metamorphosis is so as that you can live life creatively and successfully. That’s all and if you do that, you don’t have illnesses. You only create illnesses by all the complexes and stresses in your mind.”

''... all that reduced Afference to an inactive cypher, and which enabled Efference to form the IMAGE, is now conquered in most people. In those who have great stress and inhibitions in their lives, this change is not functioning, they are subject to the former patterns of lack of balance between Afference and Efference. But those who are in the new pattern of events find themselves in the invidious position of a newly found strength which is potential , potential to their ability to enter into the principle of CREATION, which is the whole power of Afference in action.''

The Metamorphosis Hand Symbols book, page 14: “CREATION HAND SYMBOL"
"Creation" is used to balance Afference and Efference, to introduce an equality of values between them. It is not therapeutic, it does not perform healing or change; it balances and gives one a chance to get on with life, a chance to bring into use the Afferent and Efferent functions and, by doing so, to effect a change in their relationship which, by usage, becomes a healing process.

"Although Metamorphosis is an attitude of mind and very simple to use, we have been indoctrinated over the centuries by structures of thought in religion, philosophy and education in such a way that our ability to think and function from the level of thought is tied to these same structures and we are not free to 'think' from our own inner intelligence. We need some ritual to 'unthink' this structure. That, in principle, is what Metamorphosis is. What physical practice there is in Metamorphosis is a symbol for the mind to change all of the indoctrination of the past and to 'become' the present.”
