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
There is a Greek myth that Ariadne gave Theseus a precious ball of thread that enabled him to find his way out of the labyrinth. Mythology has an occult basis. Ariadne is the soul fire that gave the personality a thread of light. When you are conscious of this thread and follow it every hour, you find your way through the maze of darkness and confusion.
Today you can construct this thread through concentrating on the image of the Christ. With devotion, the image becomes a living presence and guide, and you can never get lost as long as you hold the thread of light.
