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
At a midnight meditation my heart glowed with fire. I reached out to my master. In a moment I was in a temple. There were many gathered in deep silence. Before the altar a prismatic light appeared and a holy being walked toward us. Without voice I asked the question, “How can I love the Lord my God with my whole heart, mind, and body when I do not know the Lord my God?”*
And I heard the answer, “Humanity was formed out of the substance of my mind and heart. When you love your brother with your whole heart, you are loving the Lord your God.”
*Mt 22:37 “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.”
