I’ve all my life felt what Jeremy [Griffith] is saying. It fits! It was very surprising and exciting. Wow!

I’d introduce myself because there’s so many things I’ve done but I would take a whole day to say it all! I can’t begin—it really is—and I’ve really lived! I’ve got two books. I came across the World Transformation Movement on the internet, and it impressed me as being parallel to my own thoughts; all through the years I’ve thought my own sort of philosophy, and then you asked me what is essential? It’s essential for others to hear and think about Jeremy’s work, or we’ll end up chasing our own tails, trapped. We must find basic wisdom in Jeremy’s thoughts and ideas.

On seeing the video of THE Interview I was inspired to comment and this is it: “Oh wow, all my life I have wondered, and at school the teachers did not inspire me, only the few. I have sensed this world that Jeremy Griffith describes, feeling in many situations not able to express myself in speech, shy, but my idea of this world was over-simple and that I was not so hyper intelligent as other people, writing, especially about all nature, in letters to my parents all my life, until they died. Then suddenly I began to put the letters into poetic form (late in life), forcing my own mind to precis the words to express the essence of my thoughts in a more succinct manner. This brought out my ideas in a clearer way to myself. It was so exciting that I wrote poems by day and in the middle of the night, feverishly scribbling them down on paper. Totally excited. Then this interview that was so exciting that it tore my hat off and let my brain fly into the sky of my mind with a joyful recognition of parallel thoughts that had lain latent in my brain, just as there was an archive of words and thoughts lying waiting in my mind to explode into the world and expand my own theories of existence, never having felt satisfied with the norms of the day. The spice of life came, as if a storm had blown away all the cobwebs of traditional religious-cloaked dogmas and doctrines that just didn’t satisfy me in my lifestyle. Oh, how thankful that I have lived through treatments, and heaven-knows-what (with cancer, six times) and I’m still alive to hear such ideas of life at 80 years young. I feel like a student in my 20s fired with enthusiasm for more thoughts around this subject! The most exciting moment in my life! Thank you, thank you!! Wha-hooo!! Thank you!!”

I’m very excited and pleased to be able to open a World Transformation Movement Centre in Norway. I’m very honoured with the position and I hope my enthusiasm can persuade you to understand what we’re talking about, what Jeremy’s idea is, yeah. I’ve wished and wished that somebody should come, and now Jeremy has come, and he’s broken through the barriers and I hope the world will, the people will, see sense.

Thank you, thank you.
