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
Any kind of unhappiness or disturbance you may have can be classified as maya–or a hypnotic state–that blocks you from feeling and knowing your true self.
Your true self is always in a state of love and tran- quility. In order to get rid of your state of depression, the quickest way is to move into the cave of your heart and stay there until you feel the spirit of peace and love within.
When you struggle with a problem and try to find an answer that way, you often fall into the grip of negative forces which leave you helpless. One does not struggle with a problem for its solution. Instead, one turns to the spiri- tual guide within. There you will find an answer to every problem waiting for you within the heart cave.
Within the heart is the spirit of Christ. I feel the light and peace.
I solve every problem
when I go into the temple of the heart.
