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
The earth and everything upon it is on the path of sacrifice. The mineral, vegetable, and animal kingdoms are sacrificed for man. Man and woman give their lives to each other so that they can move on the path toward fulfillment and spiritual growth. The mother gives her body and mind so that a soul can take form on earth. Christ gave his life so that we can receive the gift of fire within the heart and thus find our way to the Golden City.
