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
There is a great fear of death in the minds of all humanity. We have been using the words “crossing over” because the association with “death” is with tragedy and darkness—when the reverse is true. It takes a minute to move out of the body. It will take longer when people fight and have great fear of losing the hold on the body and all physical things. The value is put on everything physical. Some energy must be left for the spiritual path.
They say that you learn to live only when you learn to die. What does this mean? When you have no fear of death, you are in a state of freedom to live this hour fully.
