Googled, found this video ‘Mastering Stillness: Initiation into Hermetics with Sifu Mark Rasmus - Online Course Preview’.  Oh look,  it has the word ‘Hermetics’, my cue to tag @Nungali  

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah, it has 'the word' but not much more .  Teachers or students of Hermetics do not use the term  'Sifu '  .   Hermetics is a western path  and understanding , whereas Sifu is  a term used by Chinese teachers .    

 

 

I turned off after half his video .... its just  simple 'self reflection '  meditation . 

 

But then again, why should I expect anything different ... its one of those  'give me your cash 'on line guys   .

 

How about you send me some cash and I will explain to you how to do self reflective meditation ?  ( Even so , if I became such a scammer , I would still find it hard to tag it with 'hermetics' .    Maybe now online hermetic courses pay off more than being an on line  'Sifu' ?

There are those who seek science & truth.

 

And those who spend their entire lives running & hiding from truth & science.

 

In the bible, satan is called father of  lies, while Jesus is the Truth and the Life.

 

In that way those who turn their backs on Truth and Science also turn the backs on God.

 

People are catching on to this, more and more, as time passes.

 

They're catching on to the fact that certain demographics are always wrong about everything everytime they open their mouths.

 

Pretending speaking truth and speaking lies are 100% exactly the same thing, simply will not work out for some of you.

 

There are some that answer questions and some that evade them .

here is a good idea , let's cite the Bible all of a sudden .  And somehow think that it had anything to do with what you were asked .

And with some juggling , by asking you a question, and not getting an answer - they are now against God ... or might be , you don't seem committed enough to declare it pout right ... just make an innuendo . 

 

as time goes on, people are waking up and realizing you are right .   ...  and other things you cant agree with are ALWAYS wrong about EVERYTHING . 

 

and it simply will not work out ....... for  OTHERS  !  ??? 

 

Wow dude  .... just .... wow .

Ah, and here it is — the inevitable derail into religious fluff.
 

We were talking about a YouTube channel. A guy stopped uploading. Somehow that turned into Bible verses, Satan, and vague doomsday prophecies about “truth” and “science” — as if quoting scripture automatically elevates your opinion into objective reality.
 

Let’s be real: conflating Jesus with “science and truth” is laughable. Science doesn’t require belief. It’s falsifiable, testable, and self-correcting. Religion is none of those things. So trying to frame it as if turning away from your particular belief system is turning away from “truth” is intellectually dishonest.
 

This kind of post always reeks of projection. It’s never about truth. It’s about feeling superior — wrapping emotional bias in spiritual language and hoping no one calls it out.

 

I been calling him out for yonks !  

 

he actually  made a reasonable post or two , but then came 'over here '  

 

and here he goes again !

Newsflash: people can disagree with your worldview and not be “of Satan.” Not everyone who's tired of fairy tales is “running from truth.” Some of us just grew up.

 

Reminds me of a 'relationship joke ' : 

 

Girlfriend :  " You are very religious , yet I am an atheist ."

 

Boyfriend;  " Thats right ."

 

GF :  "  But  doesn't that worry you ?" 

 

BF :  " No . "

 

GF :  "  Why ? " 

 

BF :  " Well, it won't be me that is going to hell . "

Let’s stay on topic. Damo didn’t get silenced. He just stopped uploading. No grand conspiracy. No cosmic battle between light and dark. Just a dude not posting videos.

 

 

Hmmmm .... I'm not posting videos ...... I hope I am not in trouble ?

Having no "horse in this race", I would say, I find Damo's online persona a bit off-putting. I think he and his mate Adam do posture a bit to provoke reactions

 

As others have said: 

If you spend a great deal of your time pretending to be an asshole to get a reaction from people...you aren't pretending. You are an asshole.

I think Jesse Lee Parker could be a good alternative for those who considered Damo but have been put off for some reason. He has an online academy now, teaches alchemy, comes off extremely well as a person IMO, teaches very well and an amazing poster on this forum for some years. He used to post here under the name Dao Zhen. You can check his archive, his posts are great. He has learnt a lot since then but a lot of what he teaches seem to be the same stuff he learnt from the teacher he had back then. 

You can find his online academy here:

I agree. Jesse Lee Parker has a good curriculum even though it is not very flashy. Jesse has his own question marks, but overall my experience has been good.

Mark Rasmus method. Many great students are teaching and doing good work across the world. They are encouraged to use his methods to support their own paths, discover deeper in their own paths. And leaves the credit of skills on his students and their own hard work. Never imposes any need to mention him ever, which is very rare. 

 

And spiritually, students truly own their achieved skills because of this free and healthy dynamic for passing on skills.

 

You did not mentioned it and I'm not sure to what extent you are aware, but Damo Mitchell studied with Mark Rasmus for several years, and I believe Damo's real core abilities come from Mark.

 

Often, people get entangled in language of the system and miss substance. Mark does not use daoist vocabulary much, but what he can do and what he teaches eclipses what most 'daoist' teachers teach.

Yes I am aware. And I also know other notable teachers who trained with him.

 

Virtue is important for him, and the method, and any spiritual system really. He is sad that small number of his early  students neglected virtue on their path. But he understands it is not his place to decide how others want to live their lives. 

 

I trained with Mark, and also train yang taiji. The terms he uses in his system does mirror closely to the eastern arts. For example the quality of Vital>Astral>mental >akasha, are close to the qualities of jing>qi>shen>kong. Not 100%, but the overlaps are huge, and can be used to support, and better even, "understand" neigong practice better.

Would you care to say what the question marks are? And could you say more about your experience?

No not really - re his question marks. But they are minor.

Jesse teaches several sets. I like his 'Washing' qigong set the most. Jesse has a good level of details explaining the movements and general daoist concepts. Whether this works for you - this will depend on what your goals are.
