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 twenty-one I read the New Testament every day.
Through intense devotion and focus on the path my heart began to glow. Thus focus on the Christ became a light before me day and night. My devotion helped me in every experience, to be steady and grateful that it had a lesson to teach me. Christ became tangible to me every day. He was not a tragic figure hanging on the cross. He walked beside me as the risen Christ. Slowly my personality was becoming transformed. Old blocks became vivid in my mind. I faced each one with the saying “Love one another.”
Jn 13:34 “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.”
