About this course

Study Hermetics with Sifu Mark Rasmus, one of the world’s most respected internal arts teachers.

Are you ready to unlock your full potential and take control of your inner world? This comprehensive program covers the ten steps of Franz Bardon’s Hermetic system, along with the tips and guidance to help you progress more efficiently through your initiation.

Whether you’re a martial artist, meditator, Qi Gong practitioner, or energy worker, this course is designed to help you develop mental mastery, focus, and a deep understanding of Hermetic science. The library contains over 380 video lessons — many filmed during workshops and private training — offering rare insight into principles and practices seldom shared so openly.

How to get the most from this course: Lessons are posted by date rather than in a strict sequence, and many topics have follow-up videos. We recommend starting from the first lessons and progressing step by step, practicing each method diligently, keeping a journal of your experiences and results, and reflecting, refining, and repeating the process as needed.
