S8/E03: Martfotai - Buffers Dissolving - When Contradictions Meet

In this episode of Martfotai, we examine buffers: the psychic formations Gurdjieff identified as shock absorbers between incompatible truths about the same person.

The episode includes a specific practice for holding two contradictory observations in awareness simultaneously.
