Herman Rednick published four books in his lifetime: The
Hidden Door To Reality, The Spiritual
Principle In Art, Earth Journey:
From Birth To Fulfillment, and God
Touched The Earth. The Path
Of Love: 52 Practical Meditations was published posthumously.
The Hidden Door To Reality, the most accessible of Herman's writings besides the weekly lessons, is a compilation of short, poetic accounts of some of his experiences, from encounters with people on the street to sublime meditations as well as the spirit present in nature, as in his piece "Man and the Rose."
In the palm of my hand, this delicate flower I held. With my fingers I separated the inner petals. It seemed to shrink from my claw of flesh, for it said in a very quiet voice, "I'm spirit. You see nothing but the shadow of my heart." Abashed, I laid the flower down, self-conscious of my heavy body of flesh and bones. I closed my eyes and thought, and tried to purify my soul. In rapt silence I sat.
I open my eyes and I see a holy flower of spiritual light. I extend my large clumsy hand to touch this sacred thing, but the light vanished and left me the shadow of the thing.

shaman, a Chinese painter, and a renowned artist of the West.

God Touched The Earth records Herman Rednick's meditation experiences
