Doing "The Work"

THE STRAIGHT ROAD TO THE GOLDEN CITY

Many have asked me, “How can I move more quickly to the temple?”

The key is discipline. It takes will and a concentration on your purpose to arise at 4:00 A.M. every morning to meditate.

You will say you are very busy and tired.

This is the time to use your will and focus on your purpose. It is your intensity that will make your body more responsive to your spiritual purpose.

Intensity and love are the fire that moves through the negative condition. Intensity and love will dissolve the blocks. Love and will intensity create a tone that is heard in the higher worlds.

Mantra:
I will walk the path of love and become a channel for the Christ.

THIS HOUR

This hour belongs to God. He created my body and mind. The Masters of Wisdom designed my life. How shall I use it?

I have a family. I shall keep my family within my atmosphere of love. The Christ within my heart will trans- form every hour. I have a business. It is a channel of service to touch each person with a feeling of brotherhood and to make work a yoga.

Many people enter my life. Some of them move in rhythm with my purpose. Others resist and resent me. Each person helps me to know myself. I am grateful for every Mary Smith that my personality does not like. This shows me where I am and what I must learn. Being focused on the Christ love helps me to transform a grey hour into light and paves the path to the City of God.


Mantra:
I am grateful for every person who enters my life.

THIS MOMENT WHEN YOU HAVE FAITH YOU KNOW EVERY HOUR COMES FROM GOD

This moment I live in God.

What shall I do with the business I am in? How shall I handle my neighbor? Where shall I go for a vacation? How can I feel better?

Pull away from your worries. Stop your concern over your relatives. Stop your indecision about the future. This minute you are living in God. This moment is glowing with the presence. This moment has everything you need if you will break the hypnotic hold of the personality and concentrate this minute on the radiant presence. Visualize a spiritual being and realize that this moment you are guided.
Fear of the future creates illusion; indecision creates illusion, and the presence is lost. You know what to do this hour. Let every hour come from God. Do not color it with fear.

Mantra:
This moment of life is God. This moment is all we have.

THOUGHTS ON MEDITATION

Meditation is the technique where you can find the path to your true self, to your soul fire. The process is to open your heart and mind to the higher consciousness within yourself. This takes place when blocks are removed in the mind and the emotions.

The great key taught by all the sages, including the Christ, is that the principle of love will open the door to your higher aspect. It is written in the Bible that if you live in love, you live in God. Thus, the approach to the problem is to bring love into your life. The psychic law is: As you give out, you receive in return. Thus, use the mantra, With a beam of love I touch the heart of my mother (father, sister, brother, etc.).

Make a list of all the people you’ve known in the last ten years. Go down the list and send each one a beam of love. Do this twice a day. The result is that the spiritual fire of love will dissolve the blocks in your conscious and unconscious mind. It will bring your emotions into harmo- ny with your true self, thus opening your channel to your soul fire.

Mantra:
Love stills the mind and prepares one for meditation.

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.
