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
Where shall I go to be close to the spiritual presence? What shall I do to be with the spiritual beings?
Holy beings shall lead me to a world of light and beauty. “Through the Word they shall hear my call.”* Through love, the atmosphere around me shall prepare the way. When I focus on the Christ, the door shall open, and then my eyes shall behold the beauty of God everywhere–in a rose or a mountain, in the face of my neighbor.
And then the realization floods my mind and heart: I am living in the light and love of God and the Christ walks beside me.
