Doing "The Work"

CHANGING THOUGHTFORMS

We have talked about the power of the word. Every word expressed creates a thoughtform. The word is directed out and its duplicate moves into the subconscious. Thus, you have a record of everything you say and of every experience you go through.

In retrospective writing,* you correct your thoughtforms and change them to positive images. Many of your thoughtforms become active in your dream life. The same process should be taken with the dream images. In the morning, you should change the negative dream images to positive thoughtforms.

Mantra:
I focus on the Christ.
Thus my soul makes me aware during sleep.

CHRIST IS THE DOOR

We know that love is the key and that Christ is the door to the temple built without hands. It is more than a structure. It is the whole region of the higher worlds referred to as the spiritual kingdom, where the love and the will of God is a spiritual substance and life itself, and sustains the soul and the fire within the heart. This spiritual substance of divine love is pouring down upon humanity, for it is the destiny of every human being to become a luminous child of God.

Mantra:
I focus on the Christ every hour and I move in a stream of spiritual substance.

CLEARING THE PATH

Retrospective writing* was a method taught by Pythagoras. It is a technique to clear your unconscious mind of blocks.

The list of people that you work on* is never finished. To learn to like the people is a good start. You continue until you feel love for them. It is not complete until you love like the Christ. If the work is not done now ,you will have to continue with the list after you cross the rainbow bridge. Every block within is a debt you have to pay. You help the people on the list, but it does most for yourself by clearing your mind and heart. Thus the Christ devas can descend and lead you to the City of God.

Mantra:
I will use this hour to focus on loving everyone I meet.

CREATIVE SERVICE

A disciple asked me, “How can I help a friend? All day long I worry about her and all night I feel sad thinking about her. What can I do?”

I replied, “Your worry is fear. You are not helping your fiend. You increase her problem with your disturbed state of mind. Every time you think about her, you are in touch with her. You must first clear yourself of worry and fear and fill your heart with love. You cannot help another when you are disturbed. You cannot heal another when you are sick. You must increase your faith and feel the Christ love within your heart. Love shall cast out fear. When you feel some faith and love within, then you are ready to serve.”

Mantra:
The light of the Christ pours through me and enfolds you with healing love.

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.
