S7/E46: Martfotai - I Am Emptiness - The...

Russell A. Smith
About this episode

In this twelfth episode of Martfotai, we begin our exploration of Expansion with the most fundamental recognition: you are not what appears within awareness - you are awareness itself, infinite and unbound.

Drawing on insights about psychological space, dimensional reality, and expanded time consciousness, we discover how the solid sense of self dissolves into something far more vast and fundamental. This is not the emptiness of depression or dissociation, but the pregnant void that is the source and ground of all experience - what Gurdjieff called the "Eternal Unchanging."

Through recognition practices, sensing exercises, and the complete cessation of internal commentary, this episode guides you from the fear of dissolution into the recognition of your boundless nature. You'll discover why emptiness is not loss but discovery, not absence but the creative silence from which all meaningful expression emerges.

We explore how neutrality creates optimal conditions for higher-order processing, how psychological space transcends three-dimensional limitations, and how living from spaciousness transforms every aspect of daily life.

You are the sky in which all weather appears. You are the silence in which all sound arises. You are the unchanging ground from which all change emerges.
