Herman Rednick

CORE PRACTICE LESSONS

WHY WERE YOU BORN?

Why were you born? Your answer may be to get married and raise children or to raise food to feed the hungry or to be an artist. The above reasons are good, but they are not the destined reason. You came into form so that you would grow spiritually and transform your nature, thus making a contribution on earth through your light and love. Your work and family are a means to process your nature.

All your problems are designed with a purpose to force you to grow. Thus they become stepping stones up the mountain. When the spiritual purpose is fixed in your mind and you know that your problems are really helping you, you will find the battle is won and the solution to every problem is accomplished.

Mantra:
I use every hour as a stepping stone to the temple.

HERMAN REDNICK PRACTICES FOR THE PATH OF LOVE

Herman Rednick Practices. 

One central issue that many students of Herman faced was how to fulfill the fundamental Christ instruction: Love one Another.  Often a student would come to Herman for guidance on how to resolve a problem they were experiencing for a family member, parent or friend.  “Send the a beam of love” he would reply.  “But I’m doing that” most students would reply.  To which he always responded: “Love more.”  How exactly do we do that?

Herman fundamental practices described by the editors in the introductions of the Earth Journey Books.
