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
I chanted, and a blue-violet mist filled my room. I chanted, and I heard the tone of the Golden City. I chanted, and compassion like a river of fire consumed my being. This holiness must be God whose face I could not see, nor did his form appear. I know I moved into the center of holiness whose light and fire I reached out to for ages.
I heard it spoken without voice, “You must return to form upon the earth and bring this holy fire to the heart of men. We must light the heart of every man.” Thus I heard the eternal being sound forth the note. Thus I learned of the plan for the earth, the will of God for mankind.
