Imagine being able to do this under the tutelage of one the main public teachers of this material, a teacher who is known for his generosity and ensuring his students really 'get it'. Would this not be the ideal start to a life dedicated to Mastery of Franz Bardon's teachings? This is the foundation that Jake has had, it has resulted in someone who is young and has their whole life ahead of them yet has a wealth of experience and thousands of hours invested in this practice in a semi retreat setting. This is rare, most of us find this material while we have other responsibilities. To get even a glimpse into what Jake has invested would require getting on a plane and heading over to Thailand to stay with Sifu Mark Rasmus. Just staying for a week or two would costs you thousands in flight and training costs. Well worth it but a huge commitment. It is a huge commitment, as this kind of training though wonderful is not something you can put on your resume later on in life, so there is also a cost of opportunity in doing this. So, Jake understands as do I, the difficulties of being able to do this while having a life and /or family. To solve this and to share with the community Jake has put his approach to these teachings down in a format that he calls the 'Masterclass'. [Initiation Masterclass](https://courses.perseusarcaneacademy.com/b/initiation-into-hermetics-masterclass) [Evocation Masterclass](https://courses.perseusarcaneacademy.com/b/eGXY2) [Kabbalah Masterclass](https://courses.perseusarcaneacademy.com/b/the-complete-universal-kabbalah-masterclass) [Bundle](https://courses.perseusarcaneacademy.com/b/masterclass-bundle) ## Masterclass I REALLY appreciate these Masterclasses; I actually flew out to train with Sifu Mark Rasmus for the first time in 2012. The training was absolutely game changing and transformed my approach to the work. But in the week that I spent in Thailand I treated it as an intensive retreat, when I was not in class with Sifu Mark I was practicing in my room. But despite this intense and practiced focus approach there was still so much information and knowledge that went in one ear out the other. I just could not absorb it all. This is something I think Jake is aware of so in these Masterclass courses he teaches every minute detail, everything you may wonder about, Jake filmed a lesson on it. Add to that if there is subject that you feel needs more information, all you need do is let Jake know and he creates the lesson for you. The more you ask the more you get in these, constantly expanding courses. Previously in another post I explained two routes the engineering approach which is used by Sixty Skills, it is more like college it is hands off. You get on with the work and communicate if you need help. Then you also have a much more communicative and mentorship style which is what you get with Andre Consciencia's approach. I would position Jakes material somewhere in the middle of these two approaches. He does everything he can to assist. ## Who is Jake? Though I have written a little at the beginning of this post I wanted to provide more resources, it is important to know who you are dealing with. https://youtu.be/XFy3-AUwEms?si=TJDIXswC-Yc801Di https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmW8GNjyLmM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwf6wmGVF0o ##### Interviews on Perseus [Magical Evocation and Invocation Simplified - An Interview with Jake Green - Perseus Arcane Academy](https://staging13.perseusarcaneacademy.com/post/magical-evocation-and-invocation-simplified-an-interview-with-jake-green/) [Illuminating Kabbalah: Jake Green's Approach to Franz Bardon's Arcane Tradition - Perseus Arcane Academy](https://staging13.perseusarcaneacademy.com/post/illuminating-kabbalah-jake-greens-approach-to-franz-bardons-arcane-tradition/) [Unveiling the Masterclasses: Jake Zenn's Illuminating Journey into Hermetics, Evocation, and Kabbalah - Perseus Arcane Academy](https://staging13.perseusarcaneacademy.com/post/jake-zenn-and-the-masterclass/) ## Worth It? I think if you were considering a trip to study with a teacher or you would like to but life, schedule, family responsibilities mean you just cannot get away, then I think these Masterclasses are the perfect answer. As you can get the bundle for less than a flight, tuition and accommodation of just a week's training. So, it really makes sense as you have access to these courses for as long as the internet exists. Plus, you have access to someone who has genuine experience but is also young enough to be very flexible and adaptable in how they teach. From the internal arts I know working with the young and energetic teachers was always better than working with the Grandmaster who was often stuck in their ways. So, this is a great opportunity to work alongside Jake, it suits someone who wants to make the most of Jakes openness. His accessibility is a huge added bonus to these courses. Someone who has done the work who is willing to create customized videos just for you, on any aspect of the training! Where else will you get that? ---
