For our present busy times, Transmission Meditation was introduced in 1974 by a Master of Wisdom via his disciple living in London, Benjamin Creme. Masters of Wisdom have gone beyond the strictly human stage and entered the Spiritual Kingdom, our next level up after the human kingdom! The high potency energies coming from cosmic, solar and extra-planetary sources need to be steeped down via our chakras so that they can be useful to our planet. This type of meditation works like a “hothouse”; one year of correct, sustained practice of Transmission Meditation can make the same kind of spiritual advance as 10, 15 or even 20 years of ordinary meditation. There is no cost for this event, however, donations are always gratefully accepted by the Interfaith Center for Spiritual Growth.

Thank you for participating in this beautiful service! Co-Created with the Brothers and Sisters of Light Brothers and Sisters of Light We have been asked by Spirit to consider moving beyond the concept of "healing" into remembering wholeness. Even though we experience pain and disease in our bodies, in God's sight, we are whole, radiant beings of Light. It is time for us to remember and claim this in ourselves. The Brothers and Sisters of Light are here to assist us with this deep remembering, releasing obstacles, and living the Light for ourselves and others. A message from Father John, one of the Brothers of Light, in reference to our special services at Corinthians Center: "I speak here as spokesperson for many of the entities, both at the Casa (in Brazil) and other entities who are here participating in this work. We felt that in a different culture in a different place, there was the possibility to create more self-responsibility and to learn manifestation. Not only for healing, but getting beyond healing to knowing your wholeness, to fully enacting that wholeness. We can help you. We are happy to help you. But we do not wish to do it for you, because that deprives you of knowing your own power and your innate wholeness."
