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
Wednesday, March 18 1982
Every person on the spiritual path goes through a crucifixion. As you make an intense thrust towards the temple, all the negative forces within become active and present a block. With some people it causes pain and illness. Through this struggle, one is purified. As we move through the experience on the path, we realize there is a great compensation for our effort and struggle. The body and mind becomes a clearer instrument for the forces of light. The spiritual fire descends in the heart and mind when moves in pure joy and freedom.
