Basic Exercises

The basic training in the Franz Bardon system is presented in Bardon's
book, Initiation into Hermetics.  My commentary covers some of my own
experiences and I also seek to place the exercises within the context of a
spiritual anthropology. There are ten chapters in Initiation into
Hermetics.  Each chapter presents exercises on a mental, psychic or
astral, and a physical level.
