History
The movement started in London in 1973. It was first known as the Emin community and then the Eminent Way, which was shortened to "Emin". The organization is not officially represented by the "Emin Foundation", it is a sub-vector of Emin's work. In 1977 an Israeli branch emerged, and a center was established in the Tel Aviv neighborhood in 1980. In November 1978, Emin's founder, Armin, traveled to the US to start Emin Coils Church in Florida. In 1978 there were also groups in Canada and Australia.
In Israel, members of Emin founded Ma'ale Tzviya village in 1986.
Raymond Armin was born in London (1924) by the name of Schirtenlieb (which he later converted to Armin), and did most of his schooling in London, who live in the vicinity of St. Johns Wood. He started his working life as an apprentice maker at Borehamwood near London England. Armin does time in R.A.F. as a quartermaster (the rank is a staff sergeant) and while serving the WW2 year assignment in India, Armin is a called court. This approached the climax of WW2, and during this time he married Violet Burton of Waterloo, eventually known as Ruth in Emin.
After the war, Armin worked in various locations around the London area, as a furniture company manager based in Camden Town, London, and later as a market demonstrator. During the late 1940s and early 1950s, while still living in central London, he became the father of four children, one of whom died shortly after birth. He moved in 1958 to Yorkshire to follow a new profession as a traveling salesman who sold furniture polish, and then a few years later as an encyclopedia salesman. In 1960 Armin moved to Nottingham, and moved back to London in 1965, where he worked as a civilian driver for the police and a guard of a security company.
In 1968, Armin and his son, John Armin, decided to start a school based on cultural, occult, religious, and esoteric values. Finally they meet a group of people who live in London after traveling around the world looking for something, (they first met John Armin, an ambulance driver at the time). They formed a group under Armins leadership, and all met regularly for the next two years, especially in Leo's board flat in Hackney. At some point during this time frame group members Deborah McKay joined Raymond and Violet Armin as life companions, eventually becoming known in the Emin Society as 'Ethra'.
In 1972 the group started officially as 'Emin Society' at the time Raymond Armin was known as 'Leo' and John Armin as 'Orman' in society. In 1974 not long after Emin started promoting himself publicly, Armin was dismissed from bankruptcy. Society opens various administrative processes and other printing companies, including 'Emin Ten', 'Esoteric and occult production' and 'Emin Ceremonies'. The community uses a lot of space around London, eventually occupying a small center in Gospel Oak in London. Emin's hierarchical structure was dismantled in Autumn 1976 and replaced by 'The Eminent Way' after relocation to a larger center in Hotham Road, Putney, London.
After the short-lived 'Emin Coils Church' in America, Armin returned to England to teach at Putney's center once more.
In 1989, the Israeli Interior Ministry refused the entry of Armin (Leo) into Israel.
In the late eighties, Raymond Armin moved with his wife (Violet) to America, eventually becoming American citizens. From 1995 until his death, Armin lives in a beachside retreat at Jensen Beach Florida. Armin died in August 2002 of aortic aneurysm. Violet Armin (Ruth) died in 2008 in her sleep.
The Emin was founded by members of the Armin family and meeting friends who were interested in Leo's work. Armin was born on July 27, 1924, and died in 2002.

Philosophy
The Archives
Armin has left many lectures, written and recorded on audio and video recordings. These include writings on psychology and personal development, theology, cosmology, history, meditation, and practical development exercises and personal perceptions. Most, but not all, of these writings were written by Raymond Armin.
Template
The Template is a philosophical concept, introduced by Armin in 1992. It describes the spiritual development of a non-physical body through a hierarchical system of 16 balls. Each ball, with symbolic names such as amethyst or ruby, represents the level of consciousness.
Offshoots
Template Network
Template Network , is a group affiliation involved with Emin's philosophy. It is an international network of independent groups, with interests including education, arts, ecology, welfare, science and spirituality. In 2009 there were about 1700 people regularly involved in these groups. There are groups in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, United Kingdom, and the United States. In the UK some groups use buildings and facilities managed by the Template Foundation. There are also several independent organizations and companies offering commercial courses, which utilize Emin's concepts and practices. These include Blue Rose Wellness, the Emin/Template spiritual healing center, located in Brier, Washington state, the United States, and Ruby Care Foundation , the Emin/Group template concerned with sadness and loss management.
One premise held by Templates Network groups is that creation continues to grow and that human life is part of that evolution. Another is that human life is an opportunity to consciously find its own purpose in that evolution. Every individual is responsible for his own development and destiny.
Gems Gems

Book by an outside observer
- Despair and Liberation - personal salvation in contemporary Israel by Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi, State University of New York 1992 ISBN 0-7914-1000-5. The book analyzes various religious groups in Israel from a psychological and sociological perspective, among them the Israeli branch of Emin. Discussions about Emin's beliefs and practices are based primarily on writings from the mid-1970s that are now somewhat archaic.
