• S7/E49: Martfotai - I Am Two Worlds - Bridging the Inner and Outer Realities
    Aug 21 2025

    In this fifteenth episode of Martfotai, we reach the culmination of our Expansion Arc with the most practical recognition yet: learning to inhabit both worlds simultaneously without being limited by either. This goes beyond balancing spiritual insight with practical demands - it reveals how conscious two-world living serves both individual integration and collective wholeness.

    Drawing on Gurdjieff's profound teaching of the three totalities and the biblical instruction "Be still and know that I am God," we discover how to develop what Gurdjieff called your "own world" - a capacity for authentic response that transcends both outer conformity and inner reaction. Through recognition experiments, embodied practices, and real-world applications, this episode guides you from the ping-pong existence of mechanical reactions into the diplomatic art of conscious translation between realities.

    We explore the householder's path, where every situation becomes a teacher testing the robustness of your recognition against the pressure of ordinary chaos. The episode includes practical integration methods for work, family, and social contexts, revealing how individual stability naturally creates space for others to discover their own third option. We discover why you cannot fake presence under pressure, and how becoming a living bridge serves the evolution of consciousness itself.

    This is not compromise but integration - the capacity to care completely about practical outcomes whilst knowing your essential nature transcends any particular result. This marks the completion of Expansion, where the boundaries of individual identity dissolve into conscious participation in both dimensions of reality simultaneously.

  • S7/E48: Martfotai - I Am Part of Everything - The Dissolution of Separateness
    Aug 14 2025

    In this fourteenth episode of Martfotai, we reach theheart of Expansion through the most radical recognition: the complete dissolution of the boundary between self and world. This goes beyond feeling connected - it reveals that separation was never more than imagination posing as reality.

    We explore how what you've called your life is actually life itself, wearing the temporary costume of individuality. Through recognition experiments and embodied practices, this episode guides you from the illusion of separation into the direct knowing of fundamental unity.

    Key insights include the ancient principle that you canonly recognise what you already are - every person becomes a precise mirror reflecting forgotten parts of yourself. We discover Maurice Nicoll's Living Time understanding and practical ways to live as everything while functioning clearly as an individual.

    The episode closes with a bonus - an invitation to remember what you truly are: the world, singing itself through you.

  • S7/E47: Martfotai - I Am Held - Living Between Two Poles
    Aug 7 2025

    First live class of Martfotai, "Fasting the Inner 'I'" to be held on Sunday 17th August. Register at ⁠martfotai.com⁠ for further details.

    In this thirteenth episode of Martfotai, we discover how to hold life's contradictions without being torn apart by them. This is not about finding balance through compromise, but about becoming the space vast enough to contain opposing forces simultaneously - the pivot point where all swing becomes stillness.

    We explore the difference between being pulled apart by polarities and being held by what transcends them. Through practical exercises including the transformative "Pendulum Practice," we learn to embody both sides of any tension without collapse, discovering the Third Force that emerges when consciousness stops taking sides.

    Drawing on Russell Smith's insights about becoming the pivot, Maurice Nicoll's understanding of Living Time, and the recognition that you are the space opposing forces move through, we develop the capacity to remain whole under pressure. This marks our deepest movement into Expansion - where the boundaries between inner opposites dissolve into spacious presence.

    We uncover how the pendulum only exists when you identify with one end, how presence at maximum acceleration reveals your unshakeable nature, and how being held by invisible intelligence transforms every aspect of daily life.

    In this episode, you will learn:

    • How to hold contradiction without collapse through the revolutionary Pendulum Practice

    • The difference between swinging between poles and becoming the pivot that allows all movement

    • How to discover the Third Force that appears when you stop choosing sides

    • Presence at maximum acceleration

    • The distinction between Living Time and fragmented temporal experience

    • How to remain intact under pressure through embodied integration

    • Why you cannot drop half the stick - the wholeness principle behind all polarity

    • Recognition practices for discovering what holds you when you stop holding yourself together

    • How spacious relationships emerge when you include rather than fix contradiction

    • The invisible holding that makes conscious response possible

    Who this episode is for

    This episode is for anyone exhausted by the inner war between competing needs, values, and desires. If you feel split between authenticity and belonging, effort and surrender, closeness and freedom - this episode offers a third way. It's for those ready to discover that the tensions pulling you apart might actually be the forces holding you together, and that what you seek isn't resolution but the recognition of what can hold all sides without breaking.

    This is for anyone who has glimpsed that the opposites fighting within you are actually one movement, temporarily forgotten, and now ready to be remembered as the dance of wholeness itself.

    We will soon be running public classes, commencing on 17th August, 2025. Visit martfotai.com⁠⁠⁠ to register for this and to receive our weekly newsletter, future class invites, guided practices, and premium extended teachings.

  • S7/E46: Martfotai - I Am Emptiness - The Spacious Self Beneath All Form
    Jul 31 2025

    In this twelfth episode of Martfotai, we begin our exploration of Expansion with the most fundamental recognition: you are not what appears within awareness - you are awareness itself, infinite and unbound.

    Drawing on insights about psychological space, dimensional reality, and expanded time consciousness, we discover how the solid sense of self dissolves into something far more vast and fundamental. This is not the emptiness of depression or dissociation, but the pregnant void that is the source and ground of all experience - what Gurdjieff called the "Eternal Unchanging."

    Through recognition practices, sensing exercises, and the complete cessation of internal commentary, this episode guides you from the fear of dissolution into the recognition of your boundless nature. You'll discover why emptiness is not loss but discovery, not absence but the creative silence from which all meaningful expression emerges.

    We explore how neutrality creates optimal conditions for higher-order processing, how psychological space transcends three-dimensional limitations, and how living from spaciousness transforms every aspect of daily life.

  • S7/E45: Martfotai - I Am Stillness - What Remains When I Cease to React
    Jul 24 2025

    In this eleventh episode of Martfotai, we discover what remains when all doing stops - the stillness that is your deepest identity. This is the presence that makes all sound possible, the ground from which all response arises.

    Through recognition practices, embodied insights, and the profound teachings of Maurice Nicoll on Living Time, we explore how reactivity is nothing more than a false signature claiming to be you. We reveal the frequency of calm that transforms your reality, the paradox of effortless presence, and what happens when stillness begins living your life.

    This is not another technique to master. This is the homecoming to what never left - your aware, undisturbed presence expressing itself as this life.

  • S7/E43: Martfotai - I Am Intention - What Directs My Energy, Forms My Life
    Jul 10 2025

    In this ninth episode of the Martfotai podcastseries, we explore the sacred anatomy of intention - what forms it, what distorts it, and how to reclaim it.

    You’ll learn how attention becomes direction, how wishbecomes will, and why most people are living under the influence of borrowed aims - serving desires that aren’t truly their own. We expose the difference between real wish and false wish, and how to recognise when your energy is being hijacked by fear, imitation, or unconscious repetition.

    Through teachings drawn from Gurdjieff, inner testing, and embodied insight, this episode shows how to move from passivity to clarity, from reacting to remembering your true aim. You'll discover why real intention arises only when attention, wish, and will align, not through effort, but through inner silence and resonance with truth.

    This is not about will power. It's about right direction.
    And the moment you step into it, something in you stops drifting, and begins to walk.

  • S7/E42: Martfotai - I Am Attention - What I Feed, I Become
    Jul 3 2025

    In this eighth episode of the Martfotai podcast series, weturn to the force behind all change: attention.

    You’ll discover how attention is not just focus; it’s fuel.It builds identity, feeds emotion, and determines what lives or fades within you. We explore four types of attention: None, Scattered, Drawn, and Directed, and reveal how most people spend their lives pulled between distraction and reaction, never truly choosing where they are.

    Through practical teachings, inner fasting, and guided multi-centre exercises, this episode shows how to reclaim attention as the axis of real presence. You'll learn how identity forms through repetition, how unconscious attention feeds the false self, and how to redirect your awareness to the parts of you that are awake, stable, and whole.

    This is not concentration. It’s nourishment. A return to theone who sees.

    If you’ve ever felt consumed by distraction, caught inmental loops, or unsure where your energy goes, this episode offers a way back, clear, conscious, and embodied.
