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
When you step on the spiritual path and feel the light, love, and power pour into you, you sometimes wonder how you will get along in the world. You do not seek freedom selfishly, because only as you free yourself can you help to free other people. The difference you feel between the spiritual life and the world is no reason to go into solitude. Since you are carrying the vibration, it is your work to carry it into the world. This is the only way you can help others. By helping another, you free yourself. It is the plan of Shambhala to bring the light to every heart. It can be accomplished through you when you find your unity with the spiritual forces. You will also find great unity with man.
