    S01/E30: "I Am My Path" - The Journey That Was Never a Journey

    The final episode of Martfotai Season One completes the octave: you are the path itself. Drawing from Gurdjieff's teaching that all life is one movement, we discover walking walks itself, living lives itself, being is itself. Through the Walking Verification Practice and the Am-I-The-Path Inquiry, this episode reveals life functioning seamlessly without a claimant. From consciousness seeking itself to living recognition in work and relationships, the journey completes by dissolving the one who thinks they are journeying. Personal development ends. Consciousness development continues forever. Season One complete. Season Two begins: purgatory awaits. Discover more at ⁠martfotai.com⁠.

    S01/E29: "I Am Nothing" – The Disappearance of Even the Witness

    This penultimate episode⁠ in the "I Am" arc we explore the fourth Post Martfotai discipline. This teaching invites a direct recognition of the absence of a separate self. The familiar sense of a witness or observer is seen as another identity structure. As attention explores awareness directly, the position of the one who observes begins to dissolve. What remains is awareness aware of itself. Discover more at martfotai.com.

  3. S01/E28: "I Am Everything" - Union with All That Is

    11/20/2025

    S01/E28: "I Am Everything" - Union with All That Is

    This episode explores the third Post-Martfotai discipline, guiding you through practices that soften the boundary between perceiver and perceived. Through the breathing bridge, conscious I Am work, and awareness-based sensing, you see how separation forms through language and habit. These methods reveal the wider field that holds thought, feeling, and sensation together. Presence strengthens. Recognition stabilises.

  4. S01/E27: "I Am Looking" - Seeing Without Projection

    11/13/2025

    S01/E27: "I Am Looking" - Seeing Without Projection

    In this episode of Martfotai, we explore looking as the second Post-Martfotai discipline. Drawing from Gurdjieff's teachings on conscious perception and Russell A. Smith's work on the centres, we discover practices that separate seeing from looking, that hold attention independently of eye movement. You'll learn the 360-degree viewing exercise that demonstrates the split between physical vision and conscious focus, the seeing buffer where projection pauses before reaction triggers, and applications spanning relationships, conflict, and daily awareness. From soft gaze to visualisation to two-way vision, these practices build presence that sees clearly without interpretation. This is about direct perception, attention that receives without distortion, and transmission through clarity.

  5. S01/E26: "I Am Listening" - Receiving Without Story

    11/06/2025

    S01/E26: "I Am Listening" - Receiving Without Story

    In this episode of Martfotai, we explore listening as the first Post-Martfotai discipline. Drawing from Gurdjieff's teachings on conscious reception and the space between stimulus and response, we discover the echoing practice: silently repeating what we hear to displace narration and create presence. You'll learn the protective shield where accusations get assessed through clarity, the listening buffer that expands recall to photographic precision, and applications spanning relationships, conflict, children, and anxiety. From two minutes to twenty minutes daily, echoing builds presence that activates automatically. This is about receiving others completely, listening that becomes love, and transmission through attention without distortion.

  6. S01/E25: "I Am the Gate" - Crossing from Form to Essence

    10/30/2025

    S01/E25: "I Am the Gate" - Crossing from Form to Essence

    In this episode of Martfotai, we explore the final passage of the Transmission Arc: you are the gate. Drawing on Gurdjieff's permanent passenger and the gate consciousness where essence meets form, we discover how to live as threshold between two realms. You'll learn what it means when the personal project completes, how transmission happens through being rather than doing, and where conscious living becomes life itself. This is about recognising yourself as passage, not traveller. Stable, present, and serving.

    10/23/2025

    S01/E24: "I Am the Thread" - Weaving All That I Am into Presence

    In this episode of Martfotai, we explore integration itself, the conscious work of weaving all fragments into unified presence. Having recognised Martfotai consciousness and the new beginning it brings, we now discover how understanding becomes embodiment. We examine the critical distinction between suppression (pushing parts away) and integration (including all parts consciously), exploring how permanent "I" crystallises through sustained practice. From concrete examples in daily life to the recognition that all moments across your entire existence connect through one continuous thread of awareness, you'll learn how wholeness reveals itself through conscious labour. We explore daily practices including morning recognition, holding tension, evening review, weekly inventory, and monthly visualisation that stabilise integration over time. This episode reveals the thread you are, running through every moment you've lived, making whole what once seemed hopelessly separate.

    10/16/2025

    S01/E23: "I Am a New Beginning" - The Return to Presence as Creative Act

    In this episode of Martfotai, we explore what happens when recognition deepens from glimpse to ground. The spiritual story ends completely as consciousness stops playing at forgetting itself. We discover how life transforms when lived FROM clarity rather than TOWARD it, moving from horizontal time into vertical depth through Maurice Nicoll's teaching on Living Time. Creative expression emerges naturally as programmed responses give way to fresh action moment by moment. From concrete examples in relationships, work, and daily life to the developmental stages that unfold post-Martfotai, you'll learn how wholeness expresses itself through particular form. We examine the shift from seeking to serving, the transformation of problems into teachers, and integration practices that stabilise recognition. This episode reveals the profoundly ordinary beginning that was always now. Discover more at martfotai.com - join the weekly newsletter, explore guided practices, and access extended teachings.
