The Second Martfotai Live Class - Walking the Pendulum Swing
“Walking the Pendulum Swing – Holding Contradiction Without Collapse”
Sunday 12th October, 9pm BST
To Join: Access Zoom link here
After the breakthrough success of “Fasting the Inner ‘I'”, we return to the laboratory for our second live experiment in conscious Work.
You’ve learned to withdraw attention from the fragmented selves. Now discover what to do with the tensions that remain – the inner polarities that seem to tear you apart: authenticity and belonging, effort and surrender, closeness and freedom.
What We’ll Explore:
- The revolutionary Pendulum Practice – feeling both ends without choosing sides
- How to become the pivot point rather than the swing
- Discovering the Third Force that emerges between all opposites
- Living as the space that holds contradiction rather than being split by it
- Presence at maximum acceleration – remaining whole under pressure
This isn’t about finding balance through compromise. It’s about becoming vast enough to contain what appears to oppose itself. You’ll learn to transform inner war into spacious presence through direct, embodied practice.
For Premium Subscribers Only – Coming Soon. This marks the beginning of our exclusive fortnightly class series. Premium members receive:

You were never meant to choose between the opposites.
You were meant to be the space that holds them both.
The laboratory reopens October 12th. Will you step into the space between?

Immediate Mental Clarity. Lasting Inner Unity.
Stop Being Pulled in Twelve Directions at Once
What if the scattered, reactive state you call “normal” is completely optional?
Most people live with fragmented attention. Constantly triggered, endlessly distracted, reacting automatically to whatever grabs their focus.
You think the problem is external circumstances.
Actually, it’s scattered attention that can be unified immediately.
The 3 Minute Recognition Test
Try This Right Now:
Step 1: Stop everything. Don’t think ahead. Just stop.
Step 2: Notice you’re aware of stopping. What noticed?
Step 3: Look for the thing that noticed. Where is it? What’s it made of?
You can’t find it because YOU ARE IT.
Step 4: Recognise: The awareness looking for awareness IS awareness.
If This Worked:
- Instant spaciousness where anxiety was
- Problems feel less personal/urgent
- Natural calm independent of circumstances
- Clear knowing without mental effort
If It Didn’t Work:
You’re thinking about it instead of recognising it. Return to Step 1.
Why Your Mind Feels Scattered
You’ve been told stress comes from circumstances, anxiety from future events, conflict from other people.
But notice:
- The same situation affects different people differently
- Your stress levels change even when circumstances stay the same
- Some people remain calm in chaos while others panic in peace
The real issue: Fragmented attention that jumps between thoughts, emotions, and external triggers without your conscious direction.
The solution: Unified attention that can’t be scattered by external manipulation.
⚡ When Anxiety Hits – Do This Immediately
Minute 1: Stop everything. Notice what’s aware of the anxiety.
Minute 2: Find where the anxiety is located. Recognise you’re aware OF it, not trapped IN it.
Minute 3: Recognise you ARE the space it’s appearing in.
Works every time because you ARE awareness itself.
