Benjamin Creme. Center of a worldwide conspiracy of goodness. Accepting no remuneration, making no claims about his spiritual status. Specializing in Transmission Meditation where members of a group use their centers to step down energies coming from the Masters in order to provide a pool of energy useful for humanity. Colin Wilson says that Creme belongs to the same group as Blake, Blavatsky and Alice Bailey: "A man who sees things that other people do not see, and who tells us about it all." Pronto. In unminced words, clearly, and with a passionate amusement. "In the process of evolving back to the Spirit, we spiritualize the matter of our successive bodies, from the first incarnational experience to the last, leading to the resurrection experience which makes us the perfected Master. In that way we spiritualize the planet." ... This is a handbook of Transmission Meditation, with most of the book taken up with questions and answers, the most useful format in these times of involved new age terminologies and beliefs. Creme, now nearly 80 years old, received his first spiritual communication some forty years ago. He lectures widely across the world, participates in TV and radio interviews--and he's definitely an electric presence. Is there a correct way to sound the Great Invocation? "It is so powerful a mantram and so broad in its margin of error that it can be said perfectly, semi-perfectly or very inadequately and it will still invoke the energies." What is the tingling in the top of my head? "99 times out of 100 it's the energy from your own soul." Is Transmission Meditation more potent than other forms? "Yes. In Transmission, the meditation takes place from the soul level, but it is under the control of the Masters, not of the group." What's the difference between imagination and true inner knowing? "Most people are focused on the astral plane. Their knowing is emotional and astral. That is imagination. Intuition is straight knowledge: knowing because you know. It comes from the Buddhic level, and it is always right." Very easy to understand bits of knowledge, given by a wise man with the infinite patience of the true spiritual teacher.

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.

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).

The entire book is very poorly written and the spiritual goals are never clearly articulated. I've been reading books on spirituality, Eastern and Western, since my teens and have to rank this as the least compelling book I've ever read.

Truthfully he completely lost me at the point of the book (Location 458 on Kindle) when he wrote "The aim of our present, fifth, root race, the Aryan, is to perfect the mental vehicle". What does this even mean? Since Aryan is defined as "A member of a people speaking an Indo-European language who invaded northern India in the 2nd millennium BC" does this book seek to exclude anyone not identified as part of the "Aryan race"? What does "root race" mean when all of mankind, including the resulting Aryans, evolved out of Africa?

From a spiritual perspective this is disturbing on many levels because we are all ultimately spiritual beings in a physical body regardless of the race of that temporary physical body. On a practical level the "Aryan" statement is disturbing because of Hitler's goal to rid the world of anyone not considered part of the "Aryan race". This is the first "spiritual" book I've ever read where race is actually mentioned in this context.

Follow-up 10/26/11
I was curious about the Aryan fifth root race comment in the book so I researched it and did not like what I found. Basically Aryans exclude blacks who are considered to be descended from the "semi-animal" third root race of Lemurians (Australians, Bushmen, Negritos, Andaman Islanders, etc). There were also anti-semitic comments on the website I read so full circle back to Hitler. Needless to say I deleted all books by this author from my Kindle.

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.

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.

The author presents to the world a form of meditation which is intended to help humanity and other kingdoms with which we share our planet. It is easy, yet powerful and can be explained scientifically, too. A group of people "works" as a transmitter of high-frequence energies and transforms them into the useful form. Energies represent qualities of peace, love, health etc. and have divine origin. The nature and background of energies, answers to many questions from different people and much more is explained in the book - very clearly.

To understand and experience this it's best to read the book and try. There are many transmission groups all over the world - just join one or create it if there is none in your local area.

This book gives clear and precise instructions on the technique of Transmission Meditation as well as answers to relevant questions that arises in relation to the meditation.

We believe the practice of Transmission Meditation to be of great value and importance for the world as a whole as well as for the individual participant. We also believe that the practice of Transmission Meditation will be increasingly more common in the future as humanity discovers the true value of this work.

I have been interested in transmission meditation and currently a student. I thought reading about a different form of the same concept would broaden my understanding and awareness. This book is just a bunch of crock and hocus pocus. The author is quite full of himself going so far as to allege that he is overshadowed by the divine. His proof is a photo of himself illuminated at a conference in comparison to the unilluminated present. Hello? Photoshop? I'd rate less than one star if it was an option. There isn't anything illuminating in this text, it's just an ego ranting.
