In this fifteenth episode of Martfotai, we reach the culmination of our Expansion Arc with the most practical recognition yet: learning to inhabit both worlds simultaneously without being limited by either. This goes beyond balancing spiritual insight with practical demands - it reveals how conscious two-world living serves both individual integration and collective wholeness.

Drawing on Gurdjieff's profound teaching of the three totalities and the biblical instruction "Be still and know that I am God," we discover how to develop what Gurdjieff called your "own world" - a capacity for authentic response that transcends both outer conformity and inner reaction. Through recognition experiments, embodied practices, and real-world applications, this episode guides you from the ping-pong existence of mechanical reactions into the diplomatic art of conscious translation between realities.

We explore the householder's path, where every situation becomes a teacher testing the robustness of your recognition against the pressure of ordinary chaos. The episode includes practical integration methods for work, family, and social contexts, revealing how individual stability naturally creates space for others to discover their own third option. We discover why you cannot fake presence under pressure, and how becoming a living bridge serves the evolution of consciousness itself.

This is not compromise but integration - the capacity to care completely about practical outcomes whilst knowing your essential nature transcends any particular result. This marks the completion of Expansion, where the boundaries of individual identity dissolve into conscious participation in both dimensions of reality simultaneously.

You are the intersection between worlds. Walk both shores with equal presence.

In this fourteenth episode of Martfotai, we reach theheart of Expansion through the most radical recognition: the complete dissolution of the boundary between self and world. This goes beyond feeling connected - it reveals that separation was never more than imagination posing as reality.

We explore how what you've called your life is actually life itself, wearing the temporary costume of individuality. Through recognition experiments and embodied practices, this episode guides you from the illusion of separation into the direct knowing of fundamental unity.

Key insights include the ancient principle that you canonly recognise what you already are - every person becomes a precise mirror reflecting forgotten parts of yourself. We discover Maurice Nicoll's Living Time understanding and practical ways to live as everything while functioning clearly as an individual.

The episode closes with a bonus - an invitation to remember what you truly are: the world, singing itself through you.

First live class of Martfotai, "Fasting the Inner 'I'" to be held on Sunday 17th August. Register at ⁠martfotai.com⁠ for further details.

In this thirteenth episode of Martfotai, we discover how to hold life's contradictions without being torn apart by them. This is not about finding balance through compromise, but about becoming the space vast enough to contain opposing forces simultaneously - the pivot point where all swing becomes stillness.

We explore the difference between being pulled apart by polarities and being held by what transcends them. Through practical exercises including the transformative "Pendulum Practice," we learn to embody both sides of any tension without collapse, discovering the Third Force that emerges when consciousness stops taking sides.

Drawing on Russell Smith's insights about becoming the pivot, Maurice Nicoll's understanding of Living Time, and the recognition that you are the space opposing forces move through, we develop the capacity to remain whole under pressure. This marks our deepest movement into Expansion - where the boundaries between inner opposites dissolve into spacious presence.

We uncover how the pendulum only exists when you identify with one end, how presence at maximum acceleration reveals your unshakeable nature, and how being held by invisible intelligence transforms every aspect of daily life.

In this episode, you will learn:

• How to hold contradiction without collapse through the revolutionary Pendulum Practice

• The difference between swinging between poles and becoming the pivot that allows all movement

• How to discover the Third Force that appears when you stop choosing sides

• Presence at maximum acceleration

• The distinction between Living Time and fragmented temporal experience

• How to remain intact under pressure through embodied integration

• Why you cannot drop half the stick - the wholeness principle behind all polarity

• Recognition practices for discovering what holds you when you stop holding yourself together

• How spacious relationships emerge when you include rather than fix contradiction

• The invisible holding that makes conscious response possible

Who this episode is for

This episode is for anyone exhausted by the inner war between competing needs, values, and desires. If you feel split between authenticity and belonging, effort and surrender, closeness and freedom - this episode offers a third way. It's for those ready to discover that the tensions pulling you apart might actually be the forces holding you together, and that what you seek isn't resolution but the recognition of what can hold all sides without breaking.

This is for anyone who has glimpsed that the opposites fighting within you are actually one movement, temporarily forgotten, and now ready to be remembered as the dance of wholeness itself.

We will soon be running public classes, commencing on 17th August, 2025. Visit martfotai.com⁠⁠⁠ to register for this and to receive our weekly newsletter, future class invites, guided practices, and premium extended teachings.
