S02/E04: “Lying” - The Deception We Cannot See
from Martfotai · host Gary Eggleton
In this episode of Martfotai, drawing on the teachings of Gurdjieff, Ouspensky, Nicoll, and Jeanne de Salzmann, we examine mechanical lying: the automatic deception that runs beneath any intention to deceive, arising from the condition of fragmentation itself. Three forms are traced precisely, from the thinking mind's pretence about what it knows, to feeling's pretence about what it actually feels, to the claim to be one unified self. Beneath all three: the self-calming operation that keeps them invisible. The episode closes Arc I of Season Two with a four-part observation practice.Discover more at martfotai.com.
