"Transmission Meditation is both a world service (Karma yoga) and the most potent technique of personal development (Laya yoga) available today. This meditation is a virtual 'hot house' for the spiritual growth of those who participate on a consistent basis.  It provides a vehicle for service affecting the entire evolution of humanity for the better...

"Transmission Meditation is a group service activity which 'steps down' the great spiritual energies that continually stream into our planet. This transmission process, which makes the energies more useful to humanity, is similar to that of electrical transformers, which step down the power between generators and ordinary household outlets. These transformed spiritual energies are gradually lifting all life forms, changing our world for the better.

"During Transmission Meditation, humanity's 'elder brothers', known in the East as the Masters of Wisdom, direct energies from the highest spiritual planes through the energy centers (chakras) of the group members. This creates a 'pool' of energy that is more accessible and useful to humanity and the other kingdoms in nature. Then, based on their greater understanding of our world, the Masters re-direct this stepped-down energy to wherever it is most needed at that moment in time." Benjamin Creme

"Meditation is not to escape from society, but to come back to ourselves and see what is going on. Once there is seeing, there must be acting.  With mindfulness, we know what to do and what not to do to help." Thich Nhat Hanh

"The way is in the heart...To conquer oneself is a greater task than conquering others... Meditate.  Live purely. Be quiet. Do your work with mastery... come out from behind the clouds!  Shine."  Gautama Buddha

"The Word of Ishvara is AUM (or OM). This is the Pranava. Through the sounding of the Word and through reflection upon its meaning, the Way is found. From this comes the realization of the Self (the soul) and the removal of all obstacles." The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali - Book 1

"Throughout the world there are men, women and little children who have not even the essentials to stay alive; they crowd the cities of many of the poorest countries in the world....My brothers, how can you watch these people die before your eyes and call yourselves men?...My plan is to show you that the way out of your problems is to listen again to the true voice of God within your hearts, to share the produce of this most bountiful of worlds among your brothers and sisters everywhere. I need your help, I call on you to aid Me in My Task." The World Teacher

"Meditation is dangerous where there is wrong motive, such as the desire for personal growth and for spiritual powers, for it produces, under these conditions only a strengthening of the shadows in the vale of illusion and a one-pointedness that may lead to an unbalanced development...
The aim should be the development of the habit of meditation all the day long, and the living in the higher consciousness till that consciousness is so stable that the lower mind, desire, and the physical elementals, become so atrophied and starved through lack of nourishment, that the threefold lower nature becomes simply the means whereby the Ego (soul) contacts the world for purposes of helping the race."  The Tibetan
