In this seventh episode of the Martfotai podcast series, we step into the shadow - the traits you reject, the parts of you that went underground to stay accepted.
This episode reveals how judgment is not clarity but camouflage. We explore projection, the formation of the false self, and the inner war that plays out when you disown parts of your being.
Through Gurdjieff’s lens of fragmentation and the many ‘I’s, we uncover how reactions to others often point to something unresolved within. You’ll learn how to meet judgment without collapse, how to reclaim exiledtraits without becoming them, and how true freedom begins when you stop outsourcing your shadow.
This is not self-help. It’s contact. Clarity. The end of resistance.
If you’ve ever felt provoked by someone else’s behaviour, this episode will show you why. And how to see through it.

What you refuse to see will keep showing up. Until you stop turning away.

In this sixth episode of the Martfotai podcast series, we enter one of the most confronting turns on the path, the moment when what you thought was real begins to dissolve. A relationship. A reflection. A part of yourself. What once felt solid vanishes, and in its place, silence.
This episode explores the layered experience of illusion breaking, when you are projected upon, mischaracterized, or quietly erased, and what it reveals about your own inner structure. We examine how false identities form in response to being seen through someone else’s lens, and how grief arises not only for the person lost, but for the part of you that once needed to be seen by them.
Drawing on Gurdjieff’s Fifth Being-Striving and the law ofHarnel-Miaznel, we uncover how the blending of higher and lower forces creates a middle ground of true transformation. You’ll hear how to take the lower seat without collapse, how to hold accusation without reaction, and how letting go is not an act of passivity, but the precise moment where real presence is born.
Through direct insight, spiritual principle, and lived experience, this episode invites you to stop defending the false self, stop rehearsing the past, and begin the quiet Work of unbinding from illusion.
If you've ever been exiled from someone’s story, misread by projection, or found yourself grieving not just a connection, but the version of yourself that lived inside it, this episode will meet you where clarity begins.

In this fifth episode of the Martfotai podcast series, we turn toward the quiet narratives that shape our identity—not the thoughts we think once, but the stories we return to again and again. These stories, built from memory and emotion, become our inner script. And without noticing, we begin to live inside them.
This episode reveals the subtle distinction between remembering and re-living. Through grounded insight and lived metaphor, we explore how the past becomes a lens, how identity can harden around old wounds, and how presence begins when we stop rehearsing who we’ve been.
You’ll hear how the world reflects your unfinished narratives back to you, why being seen through someone else’s old memory can feel like a prison, and how to gently return to the part of you that is always new. We introduce practical tools for loosening the old script, dissolving emotional charge, and beginning again, not by erasing the past, but by releasing your identification with it.
If you’ve ever been trapped in a role, misread by someone from your past, or defined by a story you no longer believe, this episode offers clarity, freedom, and a return to the self beneath the narrative.

In this fourth episode of the Martfotai series, "I Am What I Think (And I Am Not What I Think)," we turn our attention to the quiet force shaping every moment of our lives: thought. Building on the foundation of presence laid in earlier episodes, this teaching reveals how identity forms around unconscious narratives—and how freedom begins the moment we stop believing every thought we think.
Through practical metaphors and clear insight, we explore how thought filters perception, how stories become self-image, and how to reclaim the space between stimulus and response. You'll discover Gurdjieff’s teaching on verification, a daily practice called “echoing,” and a powerful way to return to presence—not by stopping thought, but by stepping off the train it rides in on.
This episode offers a living experience of inner clarity—where thought no longer defines you, and presence begins to lead.

In this third episode of the Martfotai series, "I Am Becoming – Establishing Inner Balance," we take a practical step forward on the path to inner unity. Building on the insights from Episode 1 ("I Am Many") and Episode 2 ("I Am Reflected"), we now turn inward—learning how to consciously manage our moving and intellectual centres to gently guide our emotional life.
Discover the daily practice of micro-pauses, the wisdom behind Gurdjieff’s advice to begin with the face, and how even a single shift in posture or thought can initiate lasting change. With clarity and compassion, this episode introduces a simple structure to build presence throughout your day—no struggle, just small, consistent steps toward becoming whole.

In this episode, we explore the inner chaos of fragmentation and reveal why conflicting identities—the shifting ‘I’s’ within—keep us trapped in mechanical habits and contradictions, a condition Gurdjieff calls World 96. Most people live unaware of this internal struggle, making decisions based on whichever ‘I’ momentarily dominates. Discover how clearly seeing your inner fragmentation provides the first key to escaping the cycle, enabling genuine self-governance and emotional clarity.
We unveil the powerful structure of ascent: the Rising Trinity of Consciousness—Deputy Steward, Steward, and Master—each stage bringing greater inner stability, coherence, and lasting unity. You’ll learn a practical exercise for catching fragmented ‘I’s,’ understanding the machinery that drives reactions, and beginning to anchor real presence. True inner freedom begins here—where you step from fragmented reactions into intentional living.

In this episode, we journey inward - to move beyond reflexive reactions and surface emotions into the enduring clarity of a fully awakened emotional centre. Most people live on autopilot, buffeted by circumstances and moods, unaware that genuine understanding arises when we master our own emotional perception. Discover why reaction order and meaning speed are often conflated, how schools, workplaces, media - and even polite social conditioning - teach us to mute gut instincts, and why true clarity begins when your emotional centre is freed to interpret meaning at its natural pace.
We reveal how the quality of your inner feeling shapes every aspect of your outer life. You’ll learn about three concrete practices - Emotional Centre Observation, the “I AM” exercise, and Threefold Attention - that clear mental fog, revive your emotional radar, and anchor the permanent “I,” the steady self that grasps the whole story in an instant. True emotional mastery starts here - where you reclaim the power of your own feelings.

In this episode, we journey inward—to reclaim the inner world that is so easily overwhelmed by outer distractions, reactions, and illusions. Most people spend their lives trying to control circumstances and people, unaware that real change is only possible within.
Discover why our attention habitually shifts outward, how external influences dominate our inner house, and why clarity begins when we consciously occupy our internal space. Drawing from Gurdjieff’s teachings and Russell A. Smith’s structured insights, we reveal how the quality of your inner being directly shapes your external life.
Learn practical ways to recognize your inner world, clear its mechanical clutter, and intentionally occupy it with presence, clarity, and higher awareness. Realize how reclaiming the inner world stabilizes consciousness, turning fleeting insights into lasting transformation.
True awakening starts here—where you are the master of your own house.

In this episode, we unveil the hidden architecture of control—the subtle yet powerful forces shaping our thoughts, choices, and relationships. Control isn't merely external; it thrives within our own unconscious patterns, exploiting fears and wounds we’ve not yet healed.
Discover why attempts to control our experience only deepen our fragmentation, and learn to recognize the unconscious dynamics of control in everyday life. Move beyond resistance by consciously engaging with these mechanisms, transforming control from an invisible cage into a profound spiritual teacher.
True freedom emerges when we see control clearly—not as an enemy, but as a mirror reflecting our deepest fears. Once we understand and heal the wounds beneath, genuine liberation becomes possible.

In this episode, we uncover how the words we speak secretly reflect hidden aspects of ourselves—revealing the truth behind projection, buffers, and inner contradictions. Often, what irritates us most in others points directly to unresolved tensions within us.
Discover how language becomes a powerful mirror, exposing the fragmented self we unconsciously defend, and learn practical ways to decode your own speech patterns. Move beyond unconscious reactions and judgments by applying impartial self-observation, transforming projection from a hidden mechanism into a clear path toward genuine self-awareness and integration.
Your words aren't merely opinions—they are windows into your hidden inner world. When you finally see through them clearly, true awakening becomes possible.

In this episode, we cross the final threshold—from stable presence into permanent awakening. Many have glimpsed truth, touched awareness, and felt moments of clarity—but without structure, those moments fade. Insight must be absorbed, stabilized, and made unshakable.
Discover why seeing once is not enough, how awakening must be received and grounded, and why permanence requires transformation—not just understanding. Learn how the laws of reality, from Gurdjieff’s cosmic principles to Russell A. Smith’s structured method, reveal a precise and verifiable path to Pure Reason and crystallized being.
This is the point where the Work becomes irreversible. The moment where awakening no longer comes and goes—but becomes what you are.

In this episode, we reveal a hidden mechanism of human experience—the pendulum of extremes. We assume progress means moving away from suffering, that relief signals true freedom, and that stability can be found in balance. But what if movement itself is the illusion?
Discover why every high contains the seed of the next low, why resisting one extreme only fuels its return, and how true freedom is not in stopping the swing, but in seeing through it. Learn why presence is not found in stillness alone, but in fully inhabiting all points of experience—apex, pivot, and acceleration—without attachment.
Through direct realization, step beyond unconscious reaction into a state where all motion is seen at once, and nothing moves you.

In this episode, we dismantle the final illusion—the belief that presence must be maintained. Until now, awareness may have felt like something to check, protect, or sustain. But true stability is not something you hold in place—it is something that remains, unshaken, regardless of conditions.
Discover why presence still feels like it needs reinforcement, how attention moves without disturbing awareness, and why the last attachment to presence is the effort to sustain it. Through direct experience, learn to stop managing awareness, allowing presence to hold itself—effortlessly, permanently.

In this episode, we reveal a fundamental truth: presence is not something you hold—it is something that holds you. Until now, attention has been fragmented, pulled by thoughts, emotions, and external impressions. But true stability does not come from effort—it comes from the absence of anything that can shake it.
Discover how The Inner Compass prevents distraction, why presence wavers without it, and how stabilizing attention transforms awareness from something fleeting into something unshakable. Through guided practices, learn to see both inward and outward at once, ensuring presence is no longer reactive, but actively directed.

In this episode, we go beyond self-observation—beyond watching thoughts, emotions, and reactions—to something far deeper: awareness of awareness itself.
Discover how turning attention onto the observer dissolves identification, why effort is the last illusion to fall away, and how the shift from doing self-remembering to being self-remembering marks the true end of seeking.
Through direct inquiry and real-time experience, you will see that awareness has always been here—unmoving, unchanging, waiting to be noticed. And once seen, it can never be unseen.

In this episode, we uncover a profound truth: time is not fixed—it bends around your awareness. The state you are in right now is not just shaping this moment—it is rewriting your past and pre-writing your future.
Discover how perception alters time, why shifting your state transforms past experiences and future possibilities, and how mastering presence allows you to step beyond time’s illusion. Through The Scale of Presence and The Objective Prayer, learn to move beyond fleeting awareness and establish a lasting connection to clarity and self-mastery.

In this episode, we uncover a profound truth: judgment is not about others—it is about ourselves. The traits we reject in others reflect hidden parts of us.
