Enjoyed this very much. Very interesting and informative. My first time hearing anything about this subject. I want to follow this and join in when possible. I would love to get the book but I don’t have an account to pay for the postage. Thank you very much.

Matt

I was interested in this untill he started talking about Adam and Eve as though thats a true story.

WTM Admin

Jeremy Griffith explains in this interview that the Biblical story of Adam and Eve is a pre-scientific metaphor for the emergence of consciousness and its clash with our pre-established, cooperative loving instincts, resulting in humans becoming psychologically upset or ‘sinful’ or ‘evil’.

Sylvie-Marguerite Lauchlan

Your rendition of the Human Condition has just opened up my heart again as you have inspired new hope that our consciousness and empathy can be redeemed again. I could no longer witness the shear tyranny, injustices, lies and atrocities committed around the world by my own kind (humanid) in the so-called administrative sector, which we thought we could trust. So thank you for the most relieving, and enlightening revelation and assisting in connecting the dots.

Kw

The best book to read Bible it will tell You the Answers You Have

Isabelle Onorato

I am so grateful to you for sharing this information with us. It gives me hope for mankind and for myself. It makes so much sense and gives a new meaning to life and the suffering we all have to go through.

Richette crunk

I do feel our subconscious is the heart of our soul….I also feel social determinants have controlled and overcome our true nature.

Mark Shane Blankenship

This is amazing info and I appreciate it so very much. Thank you for sharing.

Gesmay

One of the best interviews ever. I’ve been waiting for our new life transformation. My way of thinking aligned with Mr. Grifith. I have great hope for the future and thank you for reassuring this new beginning.

Edna

We have to be able to stay with the pain of our alienation long enough to explore its reason, its makings and our belief to want to free ourselves and our brothers and sisters to see and live our daily in a peaceful and, loving, joyful stage of existance.

Jez Scott

Ties in very well with Terence McKenna’s “stoned ape” theory as documented in his book Food of the Gods. Keep up the good work.

WTM Admin

Thank you for your thoughts Jez. While we are not familiar with the nuances of McKenna’s book Food of the Gods about the human mind and culture, it should be said that Griffith’s instinct vs intellect explanation of the human condition has nothing at all to do with psychedelics. See FAQ 1.20 ‘What scientific evidence is there for Griffith’s instincts vs intellect explanation’ and FAQ 5.4 ‘How did consciousness emerge in humans?’

Rosu-Mares Smaranda

I always knew it (since I was a teenager and begun my scientific journey) but didn’t have the exact explanation of this. Thank you very much for connecting the data for us!!

Truong T

Human are not just gene plus nerve. Explaining love and consciousness simply through gene and nerve beg the question: where did that love and consciousness come from in the first place. It seems to me any attempt to explain the human origin and condition merely by relying only on the ‘human condition’ is rather ambitious and bordering on circular reasoning

WTM Admin

As Craig Conway observes in this interview, the fundamental genes vs nerves argument is extraordinarily simple but is “so far-reaching in its ramifications” that it is understandable its simplicity can appear ‘ambitious’ in terms of all it explains. Also it presents a new paradigm of understanding which does take time to fully absorb especially since it is one that dares to confront the historically unbearably confronting and off-limits subject of the human condition (see FAQ 1.16). Part 3 of THE Interview does explain how humans acquired our instinctive loving conscience (also see FAQ 5.2) and refers the audience to chapter 7 of FREEDOM which explains how humans became fully conscious (see FAQ 5.4). We would like to also note that there is a reference at the end of Part 3 of THE Interview to the Negative-Entropy-driven integrative meaning of existence (which has been personified as ‘God’), and which is explained in chapter 4 of FREEDOM. This is a very important part of Jeremy’s thesis, and explains that love is the theme of existence—it is the meaning of life—summarised in FAQ 6.2.

Billy

we will see

Dee Johnson

Makes a lot of sense, we just need people to wake up from the great trance

Miguel

Extraordinary for humanity

Graham Hill

Should be prime time global tv.

Nii Koney

Such an amazing explanation of the human condition, it’s just after 6am and I’m feeding myself with this heavy dose of knowledge explaining the reason for our animal behavior. Quite deep.

WTM Admin

Yes Nii, Jeremy Griffith explains that our selfish, aggressive so-called ‘animal behavior’ is not actually animal behaviour at all! No, we humans suffer from the conscious-mind-based, psychologically troubled human condition, not the genetic-opportunism-based, animal condition. And, most importantly, this psychosis can be healed with understanding—a revelation that transforms the human race—all explained on our Transformation page!

Martha Schmidt

I’m very excited to hear more about our freedom and rights!

Gisela Mellis

For years I have this theory that we “fell” out of paradise because our energy changed. We took on the form of the body which is vibrating at a different energy as your soul and your mind. I also said that the only thing that you can control are your thoughts. In order to gain the ability to control your thinking, you need to be aware of what you are thinking and what effect it has on your circumstances and other people. This interview, however, is the first time that I clearly understood the relationship between our unconscious mind and conscious mind and what makes us different to animals. (Oh dear, this is because I observed so many animal like behaviour in some humans, including me.) From the bottom of my heart I would like to thank you for this, very much appreciated. Thank you.

Philip Peterson

Interesting

CECIL CALVERT

Very interesting and if we can pull this together and make the revers in directing others to follow. I like the idea and the inner and outer whole in understanding why we are where we are. thank you, for the relief so we will be able to make the transition. this science with the intellectual nervous system makes perfect sense.

Doreen E.

I enjoyed this interview, for it reinforces the knowledge I was born with!

Kristin

Amazing guest... Jeremy Griffith. I watched last night in the 3am to 4am time slot... thought I might fall asleep at my computer, but was so inspired I stay up all night wide awake!!! Imagine if we could create this ‘kind’ of a world... Thank you for so much enlightenment ... with all the bad behaviour and covi goings on, it has been hard to back off and relax. I feel refreshed because of your interview. Thank you to you Craig and to Jeremy also... btw... I did the total nurturing thing, and I thought it was wonderful... for me it was so fulfilling, and it produced my amazing daughter!

Ibrahim Deen Jalloh

Why not contacting the Holy Quran? Which has all answers to our global problems 'N on to the Hereafter,

ABBAS

Thanks

Geetha Rathinavel

Solutions to problems of the world has been given now. There is so much violence and war and total degradation of human condition everywhere. The solutions must be shared by all

Kristin

Fascinating... hoping that I can understand enough to spread the word.

Sara Saint Vincent

This is the beginning of the end of the darkness ahead! I feel relieved to finally hear the explanation of why I have lived my life thinking nurturing parenting is what is lacking this day and age causing corruption and eventually will cause distinction of human kind if it continues! I thank you whole heartedly for putting these concepts together for the world to unite together and live freely and fully consciences (with science) in nature (natural)!

Maria

You still need for the person to change .you can lead a horse to water but can’t make them drink.

Craig

Thank you for sharing, very insightful

Janina Bader

Thought provoking. I look forward to knowing more.

Peter gordon

I am 89 and at last come across a teaching that releases me from the bonds of religions and philosophies that have seemingly imprisoned me so far

Kathryn Grace

Amazing... still listening

Clare Travelbee

We have to find a way to spread this to the world

Fay

This is a fantastic website. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

Brian Smith

Boldly gone where no one has been before. No fear, out of comfort Zone. Getting to unconditional. Unlimited possibilities. For well being and success. Being the best I can be.

Brian marova

Very interesting indeed.

Yanita M

I really like the point he makes about a paradigm shift taking time and effort to move through space. 2 million years is a long time to work through a concept belief, and finally find better truth and understanding to the answers we seek. We as humanity must make changes now no matter how hard a paradigm shift might feel futile or hard. Our Survival depends on this shift. lovingly, I thank thee!

CG

Fantastic interview! Thank you 🙏

George Low

Very interesting indeed! Made lots of sense and even more, many and very good points to say the least!

Tanja

Love this and so true. We are nature our bodies only grow from nature. Love is the only way out😊

Melroy H Hyman

I am interested in having a copy of the book. I find the subject very interesting and would like to delve into it further.

Mikl

In this “Human Condtition” where or how does our soul fit into this story.?

WTM Admin

As is explained in THE Interview our soul is our original cooperative and loving instinctive self, see FAQ 1.26 ‘What is Soul?’

Priscilla Schmidt

Extremely interesting!

Oliver Birnso

This is simply life changing. Thanks for bringing this to light.

Mike Barnansky

Everyone should share this with others.

Clay

I’m interested.

Mike Barnansky

Should be required reading as part of ‘education’

Glynis Alexandra O'brien

I have found Jeremy Griffith amazing, and a lot of my thinking I know of Carl Jung Carl Rogers and Anna Freud in child development attachment loss unhealthy learning, it makes sense to me

Dylan S

The truth will set us free, the actual truth. I believe in this. I think that once i really can absorb the entirety of the adam stork story and how it applies to us humans i will actually KNOW the truth! This is challenging as it is explaining everything. It is challenging to really look at the truth but now we are on safe ground to face the truth. The truth is self revealing so anyone can put this stuff to the test in their own life. Truth is truth. Good luck everyone. This is the only way that the world and humanity can heal. I know that sounds extreme but if the truth ever did reveal its self ask yourself what it would look like. I believe jeremy is keeping it real and actually trying to help. That much is hard to deny. Deny yes deny, thats what we have been doing and for a darned good reason.

It is hard to get your head around the opposite: good is bad, bad is good, but in the end we won the war after losing every battle. We humans and in particular males are the heroes of the entire story of life on earth because the conscious mind is yes jeremy surely the greatest thing to ever emerge on earth. It is horrible what has happened on earth but it had to be that way. That is tuff that is harsh. But it does mean that there is meaning to all the badstuff that has happened. It does mean that our lives have meaning. Negative entropy. People had to go against this to explore and discover science and science has delivered. Big time. Science is the great redeamer. Without science we couldnt explain ourselves. Males are truly the heroes. Females have supported men. Thank you woman. Obviously we are all variously upset. There are exceptions and all but look at the general trend. Men are the heroes. I am proud of men. Yes men are bloody legends. Its a horrible situation that all people have found themselves in. The whole world has suffered from this predicament we have been in. We needed answers. The answers have been provided!!

LENA Kenny Atkinson

Watching from AUCKLAND NZ. Thanx for sharing.

Tracy B Payne

This is great and needs to be thought around the world

Leah Routen

Thank you for presenting this truth of our human condition and offering a path to humans to reclaim peace and love as a human right. I will be sharing and directing my people to get curious about this understanding of our condition. Thank you

Alicia

Very interesting

Michael baldwin

Very rational, very logical, this explains everything clearly about us all, the truth will set us free

Leendert Jassies

goed werk en blijven doorgaan met het waarschuwen naar de mensen [good work and keep on warning the people (translated from Dutch)].

Frank Miguel

If you study the Hebrew you will see that man was not thrown out of the garden but left by choice. Also you will see that the traditional teaching of the church the fallen states that man developed or took on a sin fall nature that all are born with it This a lie. Which supports what you say. I would encourage you Please contact Malcolm Smith of Uncondional Love Ministry. Humanity will greatly benefit by the knowledge you both have. Blessings of Love.

Joan Watteel

All going toward communism!!

WTM Admin

Jeremy Griffith’s work represents the opposite of imposing an ideal or communal way of behaving onto people and the world. As he explains in Part 4 of THE Interview “there’s one more thing I should explain, which is that socialism, the new age movement, the politically correct movement, and all the other idealistic movements, were actually all false starts to a human-condition-free world because the upsetting battle to find knowledge, ultimately self-knowledge, the psychologically relieving understanding of why we are good and not bad, still had to be completed. In fact, while dogmatically insisting that everyone should be cooperative and loving could make you feel that you were doing good and be superficially psychologically very relieving, such insistence on ideal behaviour denied people the freedom they needed to be able to continue the all-important upsetting search for knowledge. These movements were pseudo idealistic movements that stifled and oppressed the search for the understanding of our corrupted condition that was needed to actually free us from that state. They were regressive, not progressive as they deluded themselves they were. It was actually the right-wing who have supported the upsetting battle to find knowledge that held the moral highground, not the pseudo idealistic left-wing.” We suggest you visit our FAQs about politics, in particular 7.3 ‘How does the left wing explain human nature’ which focuses on the origin and progression of cooperation-not-competition-supporting, selflessness-not-selfishness-emphasising left-wing thinking, and should be read in conjunction with Freedom Essay 35 ‘Death by Dogma: The biological reason why the Left is leading us to extinction, and the solution’.

manuel

Do you have the book translated into Spanish? Thanks you Manuel

WTM Admin

FREEDOM is in the process of being translated into Spanish but currently THE Interview and our key Introductory Video/Freedom Essay 1 are available in Spanish on our homepage here or under ‘The Main Videos’ there is a ‘Translations’ button. Also the WTM Colombian Centre present its website in Spanish, so there is a feast of material available!

Kimunai

“We are good, not bad” very nicely put.

Alison

Thankyou for the knowledge of the necessary cooperation that I so..o longed for, during my maternity and throughout my daughter’s early years. PS. I lived with a man(the father) who demonised my natural instinctive maternalism doing all I could to combat his disruptive stance. I could never ever understand his attitude towards me as a nurturer of our child!💞

Robin Dale

Clearly if you only want approval you are not interested in a healthy debate about the matter. I know you are wrong, and I’m quite happy to discuss this with you.

Mina

Cool

Wendy Burge

Interested in learning more!

Ralph Frustaci

This should be made as school curriculum material. Absolutely life changing, unfortunately the people who rule over us won’t allow anything to get in the way of their indoctrination methods.

Linda Salter

Thank you for this understanding and yes we need to get back to our spiritual self and our relationship with God...because yes we can easily lose ourself in everyday noise and consumerism and all this covid depression ...time to take a step back deep breathe and...let it go...give it to God!!!

Glenda

Very interesting - would like to learn more

Pike

Thank you for the most hopeful insights I’ve heard in 2 years. The answer to our present chaos is loving understanding; this simple truth is a powerful promising philosophical pressure relief valve needed to be realized now. Thank you for the enlightening video.

Km

Very insightful. Looking forward for more interaction. Life is indeed a mystery to me...

Kim

Interesting interview, great insight into why we are not born evil. The light at the end of the tunnel. People need to be aware of this information, spread the word.x

Hayley Bentley

Very interesting.

Hayley Bentley

I knew it was coming, thanks to our very spiritual gift.

Thiago Leao Monteiro

Let’s save the future for our kids

Julia

Praying for our world 🙏🙏🙏

Sipho

🤔

John Robinson

Thank you for your work. My incomplete education and determination to find truths has led me to many of the same conclusions. This includes University level Psychology backing a switch to History and Political Science that has continued within me regardless of my setting. This informs me even more! I love that but besides this it gives scientifically backed credence to good thinking. A way to share this with empirical evidence. Furthermore I love that you pointed out something I had to overcome concerning the want to help. Thank you again.

Mike Leach

It’s great

Jason Lee terry

Is there hope for some of us, I’d like to believe so, so I’m looking forward finding out

Rapi Emau Amosa

No comment so far but the interview is very very interesting..

Ray

When Adam flies off course through an act of will I do not understand why his so-called instinctive self would care enough about it to begin to criticize him. Surely criticism, which is a judgment call, would not be an attribute of an unconscious mind-set? It’s a bit like Jonathan Livingston Seagull, which don’t get me wrong was a wonderful fantasy and packed with wisdom. The innocence of the instinctive mind would have to already have been infused with the knowledge of right (productive) and wrong (unproductive) for that ‘mind’ to have even noticed Adam’s behavior?

WTM Admin

The biology presented is absolutely fascinating but there’s much to absorb. As THE Interview explains instincts are naturally selected orientations not understandings of cause and effect. Therefore, no matter their particular orientation, instincts are going to be against any divergent behaviour. Our instincts are to be loving and cooperative, but the point is that these loving and cooperative instincts are, like any instincts, hardwired, they are rigid, and so they are in effect intolerant of any non-instinctive behaviour. And so, when our conscious mind wrested control from our instincts and began its search for understanding (as Jeremy explains in Part 1 about the Adam Stork story) “Adam’s instincts realise he has strayed off course they are going to criticise his deprogrammed behaviour and dogmatically try to pull him back on his instinctive flight path! In effect, they are going to condemn him as being bad.” Jeremy explains this in greater detail in FREEDOM ch 3:3 pars 247-248. He also explains that having loving instincts, as opposed to something like a bird’s flight path, actually made our human situation so much worse, describing it as a ‘double and triple whammy’ (see FREEDOM ch 3:5).

Sir: your mode of thinking is radiant, “love them back” is human and feeds the heart with kindness.

John George

Is there any german site?

WTM Admin

Our WTM Austrian Centre presents its website in German along with all the German translations including THE Interview and our Introductory video series with German voice overs and transcripts!! You can also contact our Austrian team via their contact page.

Kevan Marks

At last. The light at the end of a long, dark tunnel! I see this sweeping throughout the world like oil on troubled waters. Peace to you all.

Mary Ellen

Teaching this along with Mindfulness now , can change the world if we truly want peace!

Kelli

The world definitely needs this, we need to go back to thinking for ourselves and our morals instead of a world we’re we stand divided and told to obey, do as we say. Follow that which everyone else is doing whether it is morally or logically correct.

Radar Long

Thank you. Worth saving.

Denise Hillis

So amazing, yet so simple to understand! We can all start right now to let go of the angry, puzzled life that we’ve been living, and transform into who we were meant to be! Love it! ❤️❤️

Meg Bovell

So interesting 😊

abeba baughman

This should be part of education in all school will solve all man’s conditions

Clifford Curtis Cox

Thank you so very kindly, only watched small portion, Was wonderfully informitive. Is it possible that the interview could be sent to our email ? If not will it be available latter.

WTM Admin

THE Interview is always available to watch or read at the top of our homepage. You can also download it as a video or audio file — all free on our homepage HumanCondition.com!

Sandy Anderson

Very thought provoking ~ I’m going to play it again

Elva Deme

Sounds a good idea!

Amanda Were

So the human condition has nothing to do with man’s sin nature? Where does the Spirit of God come into this? You lost me when you compared us with an ape. This expert is a man, who is not God

SethApex

This interview claims the delusion of Human Ontological and Moral Innocence (HOMI) as the fundamental truth of the human condition. This mistake is common in human history, but especially after the errors promulgated by protestant and enlightenment thinkers gained prominence in the world. Science is no liberator or messiah, it is a further degeneration into the fall that began with the hubris of our ancestors, attempting to justify their own passions by a perverted rational faculty.

Rick

I’m not very far into the book, taking my good old time to reread and contemplate. But by the little I gathered through the videos and book, I could see a change in my behaviour. Anger directed at me does not automatically lead to getting angry myself. Instead, I think about where this anger might come from. More often than not, I can see a troubled mind behind the lashing out. That’s when I can see my anger dissolve little by little until there is nothing left but compassion. “I know where you are coming from. I have been there”

ziba

The next step is theosis Many faiths consider Adam a prophet. I work on transhumanism and faith, at UCL, London —transhumanism takes us further away so it seem Do make contact: zibanorman.co.uk

WTM Admin

Thank you for your comment Ziba and we encourage you to keep investigating Jeremy Griffith’s treatise because you are right, transhumanism was only taking us further from what was needed, which was to confront and solve our psychosis, which is exactly what Jeremy has done. The more you digest this understanding, the more you will see how it unlocks all aspects of human life; see for example FAQ 6.2 on religion.

WILLIAM WINKELMAN

I look forward to reading the Book

Chris Deason

Interesting notion, strange thing is that being in my late 60s, worked all my life, owned a business, travelled extensively in the third world I can honestly say I’ve met bad people however that absolute majority 99% have been decent people..even some of the bad ones, circumstances, poverty? Me thinks you are overthinking this,I do notice however that those at the top of academia, government and business are problematic.

Carmel Adamson

Pure Brilliance, opened up a totally new way of thinking and understanding. Thank you ever so much for such a thoroughly enlightening conversation.

M. Butler

Enlightening, rational and mesmerizing! A must for those of us who believe that we can craft a better world with our bare hands... and intelligence! I shared the site with all my friends. Thank you 🙏🏽

Paul Koskelainen

Thank You!

Julie

Fabulous interview. It’s a tough world out here as people are preoccupied with politics and the art of distraction and drowning in cognitive dissonance. Just listening to this whole interview has given me food for thought and hope that I will meet others that have read your book. Thank you for making my Saturday positive and full of clear questions of how to stay present within a distorted climate of fear and loathing 😊 sending much respect!
