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
What is the ego? It is the driving force of the personality. The soul is the light or the true self while the ego is the shadow. When you flatter the personality, the ego becomes secure. The soul knows security comes from the Christ within the heart. The personality criticizes people he does not like. The soul knows all people have the divine fire within the heart. A person resents another who does not please him, but the soul loves another knowing that all people are one in God and that love is a healing force. The personality wants to take advantage of another in business, but the soul knows that all wealth is as nothing if there is no love in the heart. Our trip on this green planet is to grow spiritually, through love, and to help another.
