• S7/E41: Martfotai - I Am Shadow - The Parts I Refuse to See
    Jun 26 2025

    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.

  • S7/E40: Martfotai - I Am Free of Illusion - Beyond Grief, Projection, and the False Self
    Jun 19 2025

    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.

  • S7/E39: Martfotai - I Am Not My Story - Escaping the Illusion of a Fixed Past
    Jun 12 2025

    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.

  • S7/E38: Martfotai - I Am What I Think (And I Am Not What I Think) - Disentangling from Thought-Based Identity
    Jun 5 2025

    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.
