In 1988 Herb Fitch wrote to Stephen and Lynn Jay about his intent to take four years and write four books. This did not come to pass before his transition on June 13, 1996, but a seed was planted that left the Jays with a deep desire to fulfill Herb's wishes. In the following years, they condensed his manuscripts and tapes, adding photos, letters, journal entries, and descriptions of their experiences with him, including the meat of their ten-day private 1989 seminar on Kauai.
In Condensed Wisdom of Herb Fitch, Volume One: The Silver Highway to Redemption, the Jays present an opportunity to explore the high pinnacle of Herb's teachings. Those who tread the Silver Highway are on a quest for the most precious gift of redemption of their Soul, the prodigal returning home. "The one great adventure of finding Self is the purpose of life, for we must learn how to be perfect as our Father which is in heaven, which really means, be Thyself. This path is not for ordinary people. It is for the children of God. Each spiritual lesson is prepared for spiritual beings whose lives are dedicated to truth, who have the capacity and the hunger to receive truth, and who have learned by hard experience that half-truths can never be part of spiritual life. At this stage on your path you are ready to drop all half-truths and proceed directly to the full expression of the divine image and likeness ... your true Self."
-Herb Fitch, San Francisco, 1969
