Doing "The Work"

TRANSFORMATION (thoughforms)

“Know ye not that ye are the temple of the living God?”*

You are using a physical body to serve on earth. Your soul is the temple of the living God. Your work is to transform your physical body by replacing your blocks, which are elementals, with a holy deva.

Mantra:
Elemental block, I move you out of my form and replace you with an angel of light.
I command you to move out of my form.
I replace you with a holy deva.

UNION WITH YOUR BELOVED

The greatest yoga is in your home with your beloved. Many have taken the first step and have blended with their beloved on the physical and emotional level. It is necessary to become one on the mental level, to share all your ideas and plans with your beloved. Do not keep a private life and secret feelings from your beloved. This is where the ego grows large and has a great fear that you will lose yourself, that you will not have your own individuality. Only by losing yourself do you find yourself. When you have accomplished this you can accept and love intensely your beloved. When you establish complete union, the door of the temple shall stand before you and you will hear the voice of your master.

Mantra:
I love my beloved with great intensity.*

UNIVERSAL SOUL

O Universal Love, thy power has sustained every heart, and every creature upon the earth is thy sacred being. My friends across the sea and in the far corners of the globe are nourished at thy breast, and drink at the fount that gave me my being. I cry with joy at the unity of all men and women and beasts and creeping things, for they all live on thy universal breath.

In darkness do all people subdivide and in small circles withdraw, and with false disguises of various names think they are apart and above.

O Universal Mother-Father-God, thy infinite compassion endures the blindness of men. When they awaken from that world illusion, they will find one great power, one truth, and one substance permeating all beings, all creatures, and all things.

Mantra:
Love sustains me and all beings and all things.

WHAT IS MEDITATION?

What is meditation? Sitting quietly for an hour, deep breathing, and chanting? A meditation in action is when you can enfold someone you don’t like and say, “I do not judge you. No one is perfect.” We help each other when we say, “I truly love you. We are both walking on the path toward the City of God. Let us carry out the divine plan.”


I do not judge you. I truly love you.*

HERMAN REDNICK PRACTICES FOR THE PATH OF LOVE

Herman Rednick Practices. 

One central issue that many students of Herman faced was how to fulfill the fundamental Christ instruction: Love one Another.  Often a student would come to Herman for guidance on how to resolve a problem they were experiencing for a family member, parent or friend.  “Send the a beam of love” he would reply.  “But I’m doing that” most students would reply.  To which he always responded: “Love more.”  How exactly do we do that?

Herman fundamental practices described by the editors in the introductions of the Earth Journey Books.

Lessons that describe some basic concepts and practices that Herman taught.
