Episode Summary
In this ninth episode of Martfotai, we explore the force that shapes your path, your energy, and your being – intention. While attention determines what you notice, intention determines where you go. It is not emotion, preference, or wish. It is the steady presence that chooses direction.
This episode reveals how unconscious forces masquerade as intention: momentum, emotion, even hope, and how to recognise the difference. You’ll learn how real intention forms only through friction, clarity, and commitment, and why it feels steady, silent, and unshaken even when every condition changes.
Through lived metaphors, the progression of Attention–Wish–Will–Free Will, and precise practical guidance, we map how scattered aim becomes unified direction. Where attention feeds identity, intention transforms it.
This is not about manifesting what you want. It’s about becoming what is true.
In this episode, you will learn:
- Why real intention cannot arise from emotion, preference, or wish
• The difference between wish, will, and free will, and how each develops
• How to detect false intention and stop mistaking movement for aim
• How to align energy, action, and direction in a single inner axis
• The true mark of real intention: stillness, clarity, and persistence through friction
Who this episode is for
This episode is for anyone who feels pulled in too many directions, or stuck in one that no longer feels true. If you’ve ever confused passion for purpose, enthusiasm for resolve, or drift for flow, this episode clarifies what it really means to choose.
Not emotionally. Not reactively. But consciously, through all three centres.
Podcast Series 01 - The "I Am" Arc
S01/E01: “I Am Many” – Unveiling the Fragmented Self
You are not one self, but many shifting “I”s. This episode reveals how fragmentation forms, and introduces simple practices—like fasting a disruptive identity and pausing before reaction—to reclaim attention and live from presence.
Learn how your many “I”s pull you in different directions and how to fast one, pause deeply, and unify attention through breath and presence.
S01/E02: “I Am Reflected” – How the Outer World Mirrors the Inner Self
The world reflects your inner state. When triggered, it’s often a fragment of you seeking to be seen. This episode teaches neutral observation and reflection practices to turn reactivity into clarity.
Discover how life mirrors your inner world—and how to meet it neutrally, integrate calmly, and turn friction into presence.
S01/E03: “I Am Becoming” – Establishing Inner Balance
You can’t command emotions, but you can guide them. By relaxing the face, pausing frequently, and coordinating your body and mind, this episode helps you gently stabilize your emotional centre.
Use micro-pauses, posture, and relaxed awareness to harmonize your inner centres and become emotionally balanced and clear.
S01/E04: “I Am What I Think (And I Am Not What I Think)” – Disentangling from Thought-Based Identity
Thought is a lens, not the truth. This episode shows how to step off the mental train, verify thoughts, and anchor in presence through a practice called “echoing”—silently repeating what you hear to silence inner narration.
Thought shapes your world but isn’t who you are. Echo what you hear instead of narrating it, and return to real, stable presence.
S01/E05: “I Am Not My Story” – Escaping the Illusion of a Fixed Past
You are not the story you tell yourself. This episode reveals how identity forms around old narratives, and how to gently step out of them. By naming the story, seeing through the lens of memory, and returning to present-moment awareness, you begin to loosen the script.
Learn how to recognize story loops, dissolve emotional charge, and reclaim your life, not from the past, but from presence.
S01/E06: “I Am Free of Illusion” – Beyond Grief, Projection, and the False Self
This episode explores the moment when a connection collapses, when someone you trusted projects onto you, or when a version of yourself no longer fits the truth that you’ve come to see. Through the teachings of Gurdjieff and the principle that “a being attracts its own life,” you’ll learn to meet projection without reacting, to honour the quiet death of false identities, and to sit with grief as the doorway to clarity. Rather than defending yourself or rewriting the story, you’re invited to stop feeding the illusion and discover what remains when you no longer seek to be seen. This is the beginning of real liberation.
S01/E07: “I Am Shadow” – The Parts I Refuse to See
You are not just the parts you like.
This episode shows how to recognise your shadow, the traits you’ve hidden or denied, and how to meet them with clarity. Learn why projection is a mirror, how the false self is built through rejection, and how every judgment is a hidden thread back to yourself.
This is your invitation to turn irritation into insight and reclaim the parts of you that were never truly gone, only forgotten.
S01/E08: “I Am Attention” – What I Feed, I Become
You are not what you think. You are what you feed.
This episode explores the mechanics of attention, how it builds identity, fuels anxiety, and determines what remains in you. We explore four modes of attention, the loop of identity formation, and a practice to unify the three centres of being. You’ll learn how to fast from reaction, stop feeding the false, and return to the present moment as your true ground.
S01/E09: “I Am Intention” – What Directs My Energy, Forms My Life
You become what you feed. But you go where you intend. This episode maps the journey from attention to direction, from scattered want to unified will. We uncover the four counterfeits of intention, show how the sequence of Attention–Wish–Will–Free Will refines your inner alignment, and offer a practice for choosing real direction over emotional drift. If presence was your beginning, intention is your next step.
