Transmission : A Meditation for the New Age

The author, Benjamin Creme, reveals in his book the importance of doing Transmission Meditation and the effect it has on our world. Mr. Creme reveals the basic purpose of any meditation. He also explains how to start and nuture your own Transmission Meditation group, as well as its beneficial outcome on those involved and the larger community. I deeply encourage you to give this book and Transmission Meditation a try. Transmission Meditation has been a powerful form of service in my life. Not only has it given me a way to contribute to healing our world, but has enhanced me - physically, emotionally, mentally, and most certainly spiritually. Transmission Meditation is service to the world and to your own spiritual expansion, accomplished at the same time. I too, was initially skeptical of the claims made that in just one year of Transmission Meditation one can make the same kind of spiritual advance as in 10 - 20 years of ordinary meditation. But my doubts to the effectiveness of Transmission Meditation have long since passed. After sixteen years of practice I see a remarkable difference in myself, especially in my ability to love, accept and cooperate with others in my life. As described in the book Transmission Meditation is quite simple. You physically meet with two or more people. Then everyone attending sounds aloud the Great Invocation, which is a very powerful prayer to bring through very potent, healing energies. All that is required during Transmission Meditation is to center your focus at the ajna center - the chakra between the eyebrows. The ancient mantra OM is used to help hold that alignment. It is a simple method, but for most beginners not easy. But like most things, the more you do Transmission Meditation, the better you become. Benjamin explains that no particular belief system is involved beyond the importance of spiritual growth, and that great Beings exist who are highly evolved and assisting us in our own evolution. Transmission Mediation does not channel or establish personal contact with spirits. But if you have an inward desire to serve, Transmission Meditation may be it. As with any spiritual path, it is necessary to give Transmission Meditation time and depth in order to see results.

Anyone who is serious about manifesting the God within, would be wise to get a copy of the book, study it, and join a Transmission Meditation group, or start a group if there are none in their area. Like Mr. Creme's other books, this one is direct and to the point. It dispells many common misconceptions about meditation and explains the transmission process in great detail. Creme answers many excellent questions about this group meditation in simple English, in that typically good natured, no nonsense manner of his. The book is essential reading for anyone interested in meditation, from the beginner to the more advanced students.

The next step in today's 'spiritual revolution' is putting the gains of personal development to work for the world, says Benjamin Creme, author of eight books on practical spirituality and life ahead in the new millennium. In a new, expanded 4th edition of his book, Transmission-A Meditation for the New Age, Creme explains that the time is past to focus on one's own spiritual progress without engaging in some form of service. Transmission Meditation, he says, is the simplest way to do both - at the same time. Transmission Meditation is a group service activity which 'steps down' the great spiritual energies that continually stream into our planet, focused by the Masters of Wisdom - our 'Elder Brothers'. This process, which makes the energies more useful to humanity, is like that of electrical transformers, stepping down the power between generators and ordinary outlets. These transformed spiritual energies, Creme explains, are gradually uplifting all life forms and changing our world for the better. "What is unique about this work," says Creme, "is its simplicity. It is a perfect vehicle for the aspirations of very busy people. It is safe, highly scientific, non-denominational, free of any charge, and unbelievably potent. It is a service in which we can involve ourselves for the rest of our lives and know that we are helping in the great transformation to a more just and compassionate world. At the same time I know of no other form of service which makes for such far reaching and fast spiritual growth." The preface includes Creme's extraordinary account of his 40-year collaboration with a Master of Wisdom, and how it led to his primary work of preparing the way for Maitreya, World Teacher for the coming age.

If you're looking for a meditation combined with a method of serving the world, then this is a 'must read'. When I read a previous edition 5 years ago it immediately galvanised me to try this group meditation. The updated version is written in such a way that it is accessible to the general public and full of detailed information that answers many questions readers may have.After 5 years of regular group meditations, I can vouchsafe this as a very effective yet simple meditation that helps the world and also has many personal benefits. In my case I went from being like 'a ship without a rudder', prone to mood swings and lacking confidence, to someone who is much more at peace, balanced, with vision, discipline and energy.This is a very special book for me as it galvanised me to tread 'the spiritual path'...and I haven't looked back since!

This meditation simply has nothing to do with anything I've ever seen. When I first read this book, I disliked the idea of meditating, and still now, I have a lot of difficulties staying still while doing personnal meditation. But when doing 'transmission' I can stay for hours, without seeing the time go by and without ever feeling impatient!!! I simply recommend this book to everyone (even those (just like me when I first read it) who dislikes meditating).
