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
We celebrate the death and the resurrection of Christ while we fear death. We could face death with the knowledge that it is the start of a new life. Birth comes with pain while death is an easy transition from darkness to light.
It is like moving through a fog into a world of light. If you are not on the spiritual path you are moving from darkness to darkness, and there is no radiant guide waiting for you.
