About this lesson

Reflecting decades of work, Herman students Anna Racicot and Gabrielle Herbertson organized, edited and compiled two books containing hundreds of Herman’s lessons. The books, Earth Journey I and Earth Journey II, are the source of most of the weekly lessons published on this site.
Each of the books contains more than 100 photos of Herman’s paintings, an introduction detailing the history and suggested use of the lessons, and an appendix that contains additional information about the communities practices.
Both books are available for sale through the Earth Journey organization’s online store.
A Herman Rednick Lesson
On a rocky coast there is always a lighthouse to guide the boats safely to the shore. A ship has a gyroscope to keep it balanced and a plane has a compass to guide it to its destination. A person has a light in the mind and a fire within the heart to guide him to his destined goal. When there are storms within the mind and the heart is cold, one cannot see the pilot light, and there is no balance within the nature. In such a state all movements are negative and every expression wrong.
To turn on the light within, you must first become calm and, second, start sending out beams of love so that your heart will become warm and glowing. Now you are ready to listen.
