S7/E61: Martfotai - 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.Discover more at martfotai.com - explore guided visual practices, join the weekly newsletter, and access the full curriculum of conscious development.

S7/E60: Martfotai - 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.Discover more at martfotai.com - explore guided echoing practices, join the weekly newsletter, and access the full curriculum of conscious development.

S7/E59: Martfotai - 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.

S7/E58: Martfotai - 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.Discover more at martfotai.com - join the weekly newsletter, explore guided practices, and access extended teachings.

S7/E57: Martfotai - I Am a New Beginning - The Return to Presence as Creative Act
In this twenty-third episode of Martfotai, we explore the new beginning that emerges when recognition stabilises. Drawing on Maurice Nicoll's teaching about Living Time versus passing-time, we discover why spiritual narratives end completely when consciousness stops pretending. The shift from living TOWARD clarity to living FROM it transforms relationships, work, and daily life through creative expression replacing programmed responses. We examine the three natural developmental stages post-Martfotai, how problems become teachers through conscious rather than mechanical suffering, and why the Steward's permanent function creates the gap for genuine choice. Five integration practices support stabilisation whilst common questions address practices, goals, forgetting, and continued development. This recognition is profoundly ordinary because what you sought was never absent, only obscured by seeking itself.Discover more at martfotai.com - subscribe to the weekly newsletter, explore guided practices, and access extended teachings.
