Comments on THE Interview

    Thank you for your comment Robert. It needs to be emphasised that the subject of the human condition that Jeremy Griffith’s treatise addresses is the most important but also the most difficult and thus contentious of all subjects for humans to address because it deals with the ultimate confronting issue of ‘self’. When the renowned Harvard biologist E.O. Wilson wrote, ‘There is no grail more elusive or precious in the life of the mind than the key to understanding the human condition’ (The Social Conquest of Earth, 2012, p.1), he was making this point that while ‘understanding the human condition’ is the most ‘precious’ ‘grail’ of science, it is also the most ‘elusive’ ‘grail’ because the subject is the most difficult of all subjects for humans to engage with. It therefore has to be expected that Jeremy’s treatise on the human condition can cause hostile unfair attacks on it.     With that consideration in mind, we strongly recommend that everyone, such as yourself, who has concerns about the scientific validity of Jeremy’s treatise on the human condition, read our FAQ 1.10 as it addresses the full range of criticisms Jeremy’s treatise has attracted from those accustomed to science’s prevailing human-condition-avoiding, mechanistic paradigm—providing as it does, the following information: “A summary of the scientific veracity of Jeremy Griffith’s explanation of the human condition / ‘Why Jeremy Griffith’s explanation of the human condition necessarily challenges mechanistic science / Why Jeremy Griffith’s work developed outside the traditional peer review system / Why Jeremy Griffith’s inductive, testable treatise is real science — just like Darwin’s / Why it is being so strongly asserted that Jeremy Griffith’s scientific explanation of the human condition is the real explanation of the human condition / Jeremy Griffith’s explanation of the human condition is not a ‘non-falsifiable’, circular argument / Why Jeremy Griffith’s treatise fulfill’s science’s ultimate goal”.

Thank you Arthur for your comment and it’s wonderful you found Jeremy Griffith’s explanation clear and precise . As you say the concept is plain and in terms of the journey of understanding one goes on with this knowledge we can now see that our behaviour has been driven by a deep insecurity about our fundamental goodness. So now that our goodness is biologically established we no longer have to behave insecurely and selfishly and can legitimately return to a selfless way of living. This is the rapidly transforming effect of being able to understand the human condition, however because it presents a huge paradigm shift in our thinking it does take a little time to fully grasp so re-watching THE Interview, as you are going to do, is highly recommended. Our FAQs 1.4 to 1.6 are helpful as they talk about the far-reaching practical applications of this understanding. Also for the most detailed explanation of the transformation that is now possible we recommend Jeremy’s two seminal presentations on the topic: The Great Transformation and Sermon On The Beach. Our FAQ 6.5 also clarifies that this understanding is not another new age-type false start to a new world for humans that can’t and doesn’t last. Also, while many psychics (Jeremy explains psychics in his definitive book FREEDOM, chapter 8:16C par 998.) and the New Age movement have anticipated the hope of a new awakening or new age what this depended on was the biological explanation of our ‘good and evil’-stricken human condition which at last, after some two millions of searching, is finally here!

Good on you Robert, what an inspiring and courageous attitude you have, and we are very sorry to learn of our situation. In THE Interview biologist Jeremy Griffith explains all humans are born with an instinctive self or soul that is perfectly aligned to a cooperative and selfless way of living and that humans’ upset (angry, egocentric and alienated) behaviour is not a product of savage animal instincts within us, but the result of a universal psychosis caused by the unavoidable clash between our instinct and intellect. And, most significantly, as Part 4 explains a psychosis can be healed with understanding, so our psychologically upset human nature is fixable or changeable—not unchangeable. As Jeremy explains in Part 1 "And it is actually really good news that our behaviour is due to a conscious-mind-based psychologically troubled condition because psychoses can be healed with understanding. If our competitive and aggressive behaviour was due to us having savage instincts then we would be stuck with that born-with, hard-wired, innate behaviour. It would mean we could only ever hope to restrain and control those supposedly brutal instincts. But since our species’ divisive behaviour is due to a psychosis, that divisive behaviour can be cured with healing understanding. So that is very good news. In fact, incredibly exciting news, because with understanding we can finally end our psychologically troubled human condition. It’s the understanding of ourselves that we needed to heal the pain in our brains and become sound and sane again." Sending you lots of good wishes and encouragement Robert.

Thanks Ebrima, we hope you do continue to investigate biologist Jeremy Griffith’s ‘instinct vs intellect’ explanation of the human condition. One thing you will discover is the extraordinary paradox, whereby humans have had to be angry, egocentric and alienated in order to continue with the all-important search for knowledge. This allows us to understand the real merits and liabilities of both the left and right wing. Jeremy’s work certainly recognises the destructive brutality of the right-wing; indeed he brings understanding to the whole extremely destructive angry, egocentric and alienated human condition. He also recognises the failing of the Left, which is that its dogmatic insistence on cooperative, selfless and loving behaviour stifled and oppressed the freedom of expression and individualism needed to find knowledge, ultimately self-knowledge, the redeeming understanding of our seemingly destructive human condition that thankfully he has now found and presents in his book FREEDOM. Basically his work brings profound understanding to both sides allowing the whole, divisive business of politics to at last come to a close. This is fully explained in our FAQs about politics.

Thanks for your comment Penelope. As Jeremy Griffith explains our competitive and aggressive behaviour is not due to us having ‘survival’ instincts like crabs, rather it is due to us having a conscious-mind-based, psychologically troubled condition that can only be healed through understanding the biological origins of that troubled, guilt-stricken, conscious-mind-based state. As Jeremy talks explains in THE Interview, we are born with loving instincts and the ‘savage instincts’ explanation was just a convenient excuse while we searched for the psychosis-addressing-and-solving real explanation of our divisive behaviour. And so behind the idea that we can ‘choose’ how to behave is an implicit belief that if we don’t choose properly, we will make a selfish choice in line with our supposed instincts. We recommend reading or watching Video/Freedom Essay 14 about just how pervasive this excuse for our behaviour is.

Thank you Taj. Yes, recent generations are in desperate need of this redeeming and rehabilitating understanding. As Jeremy Griffith explains in his book Our Meaning, “As we will see, these recent generations are so psychologically paralysed and crippled that they starkly and alarmingly indicate that the human race is heading into a desperately dark situation; in fact, heading towards terminal psychosis and extinction! And we will see that the main reason for the crippled state of these emerging generations is that there has been no admission of the reason for and thus meaning behind their suffering! And we will also see how being able to know the reason for and meaning behind their suffering is how they, and in fact the whole human race, can be rehabilitated, brought back to life!”

    Thanks for your comment Elias. We suggest that ultimately we needed to find the scientific explanation for why when the universal ideals are to be loving, cooperative and selfless are we so angry, competitive and selfish. Why, in fact, don’t we love each other? Answering this question required finding the clarifying difference between the way the intellect and instincts work, and that clarifying difference means we can now understand that we had to defy our instincts, which is why this great breakthrough is described as ‘redeeming’.     It follows that by finding the good reason we had to defy our instincts, we can reconcile ourselves with them, because all our defensive behaviours (our anger, egocentricity and alienation) are now redundant. We no longer need them because we have the real defense for why we had to defy our instincts. We recommend reading FAQ 6.3 ‘Does this undermine religion?’ where it is explained that, “The great founding prophets of religion actually looked forward to the arrival of the reconciling understanding of the human condition—which means supporters of religion shouldn’t see Jeremy’s scientific demystification of religious teachings as blasphemy, but as religious fulfillment!”

We now have the ability, for the first time, to understand every aspect of human behaviour. At last we can understand we have been driven by a deep insecurity about our fundamental goodness or worth, and the incredible thing about that is that now that our goodness is biologically established we no longer have to behave insecurely and selfishly and can legitimately return to a selfless way of living. ‘Legitimately’ because at last we have the first principle-based science which liberates us to be honest about our conflicted upset state instead of denying or transcending it. This is the rapidly transforming practical effect of being able to understand the human condition which is fully explained and illustrated on our Transformation page.

    We appreciate your interest in Jeremy Griffith’s treatise on the human condition. As Jeremy explains in chapters 2:4 of FREEDOM, human-condition-avoiding, mechanistic, reductionist, deductive science is an extremely limited and compromised form of science. As Templeton Prize-winning biologist Charles Birch, who was Jeremy’s professor of biology at Sydney University, said, “[mechanistic] science can’t deal with subjectivity [the issue of our psychologically distressed condition]…what we were all taught in universities is pretty much a dead end” and “Biology has not made any real advance since Darwin”. Indeed, mechanistic science is now so farcically dishonest and discredited in the public’s mind that many people have lost interest in it to the point of dismissing it as of no real use to us in terms of being able to understand and manage our behaviour! Freedom Essay/Video 14 makes this discreditation very clear.     established, entrenched, traditional mechanistic scientific paradigm resists this massive paradigm shift. It does this by ignoring the new synthesis, as well as using such outrageously dishonest and irresponsible claims as ‘the new synthesis presents no new data’, ‘there is no evidence’, is an ‘untestable’ and ‘non-falsifiable’ hypothesis, and is therefore not even science! As is explained in FAQ 1.10 ‘Why Jeremy Griffith’s explanation of the human condition is verifiable, testable science’, these accusations are transparently false and nothing more than the dying tremors of an old, extremely flawed form of dishonest science that has lived way past its used by date and is rapidly taking humanity to extinction!     It really is at the 11th hour that the often highly intellectualised, sophisticated-in-the-art-of-denial, pretentious, makes-it-seem-like-unreachable-knowledge-for-the-average-person, scientific presentations from the ivory towers of human-condition-avoiding academia are at last replaced by truthful, sensible, fully accountable, relatively simple and straightforward, soul-ualised not intellect-ualised scientific presentations, which is what FREEDOM provides for the human race.

Thanks very much Samuel. We think people might find our FAQs on Religion, in particular FAQ 6.7 ‘How can a scientific explanation ever hope to account for and encompass the great ‘spiritual’ dimension we know exists in life? / Isn’t ‘spirituality’ beyond a purely rational explanation?’

    Hi Nacima. You can give yourself permission to heal - we all can. As psychiatrist Professor Harry Prosen, a former President of the Canadian Psychiatric Association, wrote: “the beauty of Griffith’s treatise is that the healing starts at the macro level of the universal human condition; the healing of the shame and blame that the whole human race has suffered from…It brings the greater context and love to all human psychosis and suffering, and then, from under the umbrella of that safe position, everyone can gradually work inwards to their particular experience of all the imperfections in human life that have now, finally, been made sense of” — see FAQ 1.34 ‘How does understanding the human race’s condition help with an individual’s depression and psychosis?’ and also FAQ 1.35 on ‘Does this heal anxiety?’.     Importantly, we can all get immediate relief from Jeremy Griffith’s redeeming understanding of the human condition and join start to transform the world. As Jeremy writes in Freedom Essay 15, “You and every other human can, as it were, put the issue of all your upsets/corruptions in a ‘suitcase’, attach a label to it saying ‘Everything in here is now explained and defended’, and simply leave that suitcase behind at the entrance to what we in the World Transformation Movement (WTM) call the Sunshine Highway, and set out unencumbered by all those upset behaviours into a new world that is effectively free of the human condition.” So the human condition is no longer an unbearably depressing subject as we can now bring great compassion and kindness to ourselves and others and significantly we don’t have to overly confront the upset within us. Also we recommend FAQ 1.39 ‘How are we supposed to cope with all the heretical truths brought to light by the explanation of the human condition?’

    Thanks for your questions Julie. We recommend FAQ 1.37 ‘How much of our upset is caused by our own search for knowledge and how much is caused by the accumulated upset already in the world?’, in which Jeremy Griffith explains that, “Firstly, there was the upset each person developed from their own experiments in self-management when there was no understanding of how such experiments could lead to outcomes that weren’t consistent with what our cooperative and loving instinctive self or soul expected—which, without that understanding, were coped with by defensively attacking, denying and trying to prove wrong those implied criticisms of our experiments; which, again, is the upset that self-management caused while we didn’t understand that we weren’t bad to search for knowledge and make mistakes. The second, and by far the greatest reason for the increase in upset that has occurred from generation to generation is the soul-destroying influence of the existing levels of upset in your society from all the upsetting searching for knowledge that has taken place before you arrived in the world.”     The way we have dealt with the hurt from that these two sources is by repressing it into our subconscious – as you suggest, this has been our defence mechanism. But without understanding, it has been highly ineffective because, although consigned to our subconscious, these unresolved hurts continue to plague us. As Jeremy explains in his book Therapy For The Human Condition, “while we have used all manner of repression to try to block out both the pain we feel from our primary hurt and our exacerbating secondary hurt of worrying about and misinterpreting our primary hurt, this blocking out or repressing or burying is never completely successful, which means the distressed, negative feelings and thoughts keep bubbling up from our subconscious and expressing themselves throughout our lives.”     There is a lot to digest, so we hope you continue to study all this material Julie.

Jeremy Griffith’s biological ‘instinct vs intellect’ explanation of the human condition allows us to understand the real merits and liabilities of both the left and right wing. His work identifies that the problem of the right-wing is its destructiveness, however, through its support of egocentricity and selfishness, it does encourage the search for knowledge to continue. However the left wing’s insistence on ideal behaviour had the effect of oppressing and thus regressing, not ‘progressing’, the all-important search for knowledge. Most importantly, this understanding brings a profound understanding to both sides which ultimately will bring an end to the whole ugly business of politics. This is fully explained in our FAQs about politics. You might also like to read Jeremy’s book Death By Dogma about the danger posed by the left-wing.

Jeremy Griffith’s work explains that issues such as overpopulation, as well as other related crises such as environmental destruction, resource depletion, the turmoil and conflict between races and countries etc, are merely symptoms of a deeper problem and will not fundamentally change at all until we solve the human condition, our psychologically embattled state. Certainly overpopulation increases the stresses and conflict associated with the human condition, but the real question is, ‘Why don’t we all cooperate and deal with overpopulation?’ And the answer to that is that is that we are all so psychologically embattled – so angry, egocentric and alienated – that we can’t do such an obvious and sensible thing! Of course, people argue that in reproducing in great numbers we are just obeying our instincts; our ‘must reproduce your genes’ ‘survival of the fittest’ imperative, but as THE Interview explains, this idea that we have ‘savage instincts’ was just a convenient excuse while we searched for the psychosis-addressing-and-solving real explanation of our divisive behaviour. We recommend FAQ 1.6 ‘Why does understanding of the human condition solve everything?’

    Although this is science, it is based on a ‘Godly’ nature in the sense of recognising, like all the great religions do, that we humans once lived in a pre-human-condition-afflicted state of original innocence where we were perfectly instinctively orientated to the cooperative, selfless, loving, ‘Godly’ ideals of life; ‘God’ being explained in as being the integrative meaning of life.     Importantly, Jeremy Griffith’s ‘instinct vs intellect’ treatise also explains that our subsequent apparently divisive ‘unGodly’ behaviour has been not only heroic, but also ultimately integrative, as it was a result of seeking to fulfil the potential of our conscious minds, which would allow us to once again align with the integrative meaning of life, but this time in a fully conscious way.     We thought you might find our FAQs about religion of interest, in particular FAQ 6.2, ‘What is the meaning of life? / What is the Integrative Meaning of existence? / What is ‘God’? / Does the scientific explanation of ‘God’ really contain all the attributes of religion’s metaphysical ‘God’?’

Yes, it will take generations to completely heal the human race, but as Jeremy says in Freedom Essay 15, “It is this particular undeniable consequence of the arrival of understanding of the human condition of the transformation of our lives from living selfishly and competitively to living selflessly and cooperatively that is going to eventually catch on as being the right response now for everyone and when it does, it will spread like wildfire across our planet, and save the world. And it is not a revolution that involves warfare and bloodshed like so many revolutions in the past, but a peaceful revolution that is driven by irrefutable knowledge/understanding. We humans are conscious beings and what consciousness needs is understanding, and now we have it. Ultimately, we humans respond to knowledge—anything less was bound to be ineffective. This is the real and lasting transformation that the human race has lived in hope, faith and trust would one day occur. It is the revolution of our minds.”

Wile Buddhism and other religions contain all manner of truths about human life, it is all from a pre-scientific view. Ultimately we needed to find the scientific explanation for why when the universal ideals are to be loving, cooperative and selfless are we so angry, competitive and selfish. Answering this question required finding the clarifying difference between the way the intellect and instincts work, and that is the great biological breakthrough Jeremy presents in THE Interview and his book FREEDOM. We suggest FAQ 1.13 ‘Is this original or new?’ which explains the unique significance of Jeremy Griffith’s work.

    Our FAQ 1.10 outlines ‘What scientific evidence is there for this explanation’, and includes the following exposition: “Science’s discovery of the difference in the way our nerve-based conscious intellect and our gene-based instincts work has allowed biologist Jeremy Griffith to add further confirming clarification of the long recognised ‘instinct vs intellect’ explanation of the human condition. It was Darwin’s mid-1800s discovery of natural selection (as well as Watson and Crick’s subsequent discovery of the DNA molecule, the mechanism behind natural selection), and science’s discovery of how the nervous system works, in particular that nerves are able to remember events, that allowed Jeremy to explain that the nerve-based learning system operates from a basis of understanding cause and effect while the gene-based, natural selection learning system can only give species’ orientations to the world around them, and that this difference explains why an upsetting clash must occur between our instincts and conscious intellect; that upsetting clash being the reason for our angry, egocentric and alienated human condition.”     And as is further explained in FAQ 1.10: “Throughout FREEDOM it is demonstrated how the ‘instinct vs intellect’ explanation demystifies not just the human condition, but all aspects of human behaviour. It quickly becomes clear that not only are the facts and logic underlying the ‘instinct vs intellect’ explanation established and unarguable, the theory also has an extraordinary ‘explanatory power’, which is one of the essential qualities of a scientific theory.”     You can also read the commendations & reviews Jeremy’s work has received from extremely eminent scientists and thinkers.

Ultimately we needed to find the scientific explanation for why when the universal ideals are to be loving, cooperative and selfless are we so angry, competitive and selfish. Answering this question required finding the clarifying difference between the way the intellect and instincts work, and that is the great biological breakthrough Jeremy Griffith presents which actually reconciles science and religion. We suggest FAQ 1.13 ‘Is this original or new?’ which explains the unique significance of Jeremy’s work, as well as our FAQs on Religion generally.

    Hi Kevin, thank you for your consideration. Yes, the human condition means that we have become incredibly alienated from our true selves; the intellect has become “stupid” – but the question is ‘why did the intellect get in the way of “direct knowing and intuition.” Why is it “stupid”? What biologist Jeremy Griffith is presenting is actually the ultimate defence for the intellect or ‘ego’ (which is just another word for the intellect since the dictionary defines ego as the conscious thinking self). The key point in the Adam Stork Story (which Jeremy presents in Part 1 of THE Interview to quickly explain the ‘intellect vs instinct’ conflict) is that being a self-adjusting system, our conscious intellect had to set out in search of knowledge despite the resistance from our instincts, which are only capable of giving species an orientation to the world. This unavoidable clash between our instinct and intellect created a universal psychosis in humans. We became angry, egocentric and alienated or in a word ‘upset’ so all humans, to varying degrees, suffer from the human condition which was the price we had to pay for searching for knowledge. It is this psychological upset that is the real source of our “intellectual, egoistic thinking”.     So our intellect turns out to be the hero for defying our instincts and searching for knowledge, not the villain it has for so long been portrayed as — such as in the story of the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve are banished as evil for taking the fruit from the tree of knowledge! So now, from a basis of first-principle biology, namely the biological explanation of the difference between the gene-based and nerve-based learning systems (that one can only orientate a species while the other needs to understand cause and effect), we can finally understand why humans are fundamentally good, which is the key understanding of the human condition, the holy grail in fact, we have been in search of that finally reconciles our two selves, our instinct and intellect. And the effect of having that reconciling understanding is that all the distress and psychological upset that has resulted from that conflict between our instinct and intellect ends. That’s how this biological understanding is able to end the human condition, end the insecurity about our fundamental worth and goodness at the deepest, real level.     With instinct and intellect at last reconciled, the intellect will no longer be angry, egocentric and alienated. It will be in harmony with our instinctive self, and indeed, with the whole world, and universe, and will finally be able to fulfil its incredible potential to manage life.

Thanks Harrison, we hope you do continue to investigate biologist Jeremy Griffith’s ‘instinct vs intellect’ explanation of the human condition. One thing you will discover is the extraordinary paradox, whereby humans have had to be angry, egocentric and alienated in order to continue with the all-important search for knowledge. This allows us to understand the real merits and liabilities of both the left and right wing. Jeremy’s work certainly recognises the destructive brutality of the right-wing; indeed he brings understanding to the whole extremely destructive angry, egocentric and alienated human condition. He also recognises the failing of the Left, which is that its dogmatic insistence on cooperative, selfless and loving behaviour stifled and oppressed the freedom of expression and individualism needed to find knowledge, ultimately self-knowledge, the redeeming understanding of our seemingly destructive human condition that thankfully he has now found and presents in his book FREEDOM. Basically his work brings profound understanding to both sides, which ultimately brings to an end the whole ugly business of politics. This is fully explained in our FAQs about politics. We also recommend reading a concise and powerful article about Jeremy’s explanation of the human condition and politics that was published in Australia’s respected ‘Quadrant’ journal.

We welcome your curiosity Russ! The best place to start is to watch THE Interview, in which biologist Jeremy Griffith presents his breakthrough ‘instinct v intellect’ explanation of the human condition. Part 1 of this interview presents the explanation as quickly and simply as possible and FAQ 1.3 presents a very brief summary of the key ‘instinct vs intellect’ concept. Essentially, Jeremy explains that the human condition arose from a conflict between our instincts and emerging intellect. The result of this conflict was that we became psychologically defensive, angry, alienated and egocentric. Now that we can understand the conflict, all those defensive behaviours are obsoleted, and we free ourselves from the human condition. Happy exploring Russ!

Yes the situation is very serious as humanity is approaching endplay but take heart Sarah because the solution is here because this new science explains and solves the underlying cause of all our selfishness, anger and egocentricity. As Jeremy Griffith explains in THE Interview all human aggression and anger, in our individual lives right through to international conflicts, is ultimately an expression of our psychologically upset angry, egocentric and alienated human condition. We suggest that as you digest Jeremy’s understanding of the human condition, you will see that the only way we could end our destructive behaviour, and legitimately return to the cooperative and loving state humanity once lived in and we all long for, was through removing the insecurity that was driving that divisive behaviour, which is what Jeremy’s explanation makes possible, see FAQ 1.6 ‘Why does understanding of the human condition solve everything?’. We also suggest you read Freedom Essay 29 ‘Can human conflict ever be brought to an end’ and our reply to Tony directly below which explains how this knowledge can stop the destruction of our world and the disintegration of society that is happening everywhere we look.

    Thank you for your comment Tony. It is important to note that since what is being introduced is a new scientific paradigm based on confronting rather than the historic practice of avoiding the issue of the human condition—which leads to so many new concepts such as that the human race lived in an original state of innocence, that nurturing created our moral soul, and that there is an integrative meaning to existence—it does require some studying and digestion time to reasonably comprehend aspects of the new paradigm.     In THE Interview biologist Jeremy Griffith explains all humans are born with loving moral instincts but we all now variously suffer from a psychosis due to the human condition and, in the extreme, that psychologically conflicted upset state produces psychopathic behaviour. Importantly, this breakthrough explanation doesn’t condone or sanction the horrendous atrocities humans can commit (what historically has been termed ‘evil’) rather, through bringing compassionate understanding to the source of humans’ upset behaviour, it gives us the power to ameliorate and thus subside and ultimately eliminate it. We suggest the following FAQs as they answer your question ‘how is it implemented?’: FAQ 1.38 ‘Aren’t some people just born psychopathic, or even ‘evil’? / How does this explanation rehabilitate people capable of ‘evil’ behaviour? / Does this condone ‘evil’ behaviour?’ and FAQ 1.40 ‘How can you hope to transform the world? — In particular, how are you going to change the behaviour of the rich and powerful? / How are you going to reach the bastions of power? / Won’t the greedy and power-hungry simply ignore this?’ To read about the psychology behind the creation of psychopathic, ‘power-addicted’ and narcissistic behaviour, see chapter 8:16D of Jeremy’s definitive book FREEDOM. Also, Jeremy further elaborates on this need for power, control and domination in Freedom Essay 62 where he gives a full presentation of the entire human journey and how understanding of the human condition now makes possible the effective real therapy and rehabilitation of all humans.

It is wonderful you stopped and watched THE Interview Clara and thank you for your comments. Finding understanding of the human condition is the game-changer the world has been waiting for because to protect the animals and nature we had to find the understanding that would end the underlying upset in us that was causing the destruction of our natural world. We had to confront the issue of us, the human condition, and that’s exactly what biologist Jeremy Griffith has done and why it gives us the means to FIX THE WORLD! — see FAQ 1.6 ‘Why does understanding of the human condition solve everything?’.

    Yes, levels of mental distress have reached frightening levels, and it is heartbreaking what it is doing to younger generations.     What we can now understand with Jeremy Griffith’s compassionate explanation of the human condition is that not only did the search for knowledge cause us to become psychologically upset, these levels of upset compounded through generations because of the soul-destroying influence of the existing levels of upset in society from all the upsetting searching for knowledge that has taken place before you arrived in the world. We have now reached a point, where, to quote Jeremy from Part 2 of THE Interview: “While we’ve had to live in denial of our corrupted, psychologically upset condition while we couldn’t explain it, the truth is that on a graph showing the ever-increasing levels of upset in humans, those levels, especially of psychosis and alienation, have been increasing so rapidly lately that the line tracking their rise is near vertical with the amount of upset virtually doubling now in each new generation!”     We recommend reading ‘Aspect 1’ of Jeremy Griffith’s booklet Our Meaning, which deals with ‘1. the psychologically paralysed state of the younger Millennial, Z and Alpha generations’. We would also recommend Freedom Essay 30 titled Resignation, in which Jeremy explains the terrible depression that adolescents go through when they confront the non-ideal state of the world, and also their own lack of ideality.     What is so wonderful though, Melvin, is that with this breakthrough explanation, as Jeremy explains in Our Meaning, “the Millennial, Z and Alpha generations can now at last make sense of their extreme suffering, and they can also be part of the most exciting event in human history, the great break-out of the human race from the human condition!” This is the real therapeutic therapy we desperately need rather than the psychological tool “Johari Window” designed by psychologists in 1955 you mention. As the distinguished psychiatrist Professor Harry Prosen (who wrote the Introduction to Jeremy’s definitive book FREEDOM) said: “What Griffith is presenting is understanding of the source insecurity that the whole human race suffers from for having destroyed our species’ innocent soul. It is a universal self-blame that his understanding at last provides healing insight into. All human behavior is saturated with that universal insecure, depressing state and resulting anger, egocentricity and alienation that has developed from it, but we finally have the compassionate foundation insight needed to dismantle all that ‘upset’/psychosis. So the real psychotherapy of our collective and individual psychoses can begin” (see FAQ 1.34)

After watching THE Interview, we recommend you read watch (or read) the 3 other Introductory Videos on our homepage — The Great Guilt video that explains the difficulty of the ‘Deaf Effect’ that reading about the human condition initially causes, then The Great Transformation video about how understanding the human condition actually transforms the human race, then the Sermon On The Beach video, Jeremy’s inspired description of how the human race now leaves the horror of the human condition forever! All these presentations are available as books, which you can immediately access free electronic copies of to read, listen to or download here on our homepage. You can also download free Kindle versions from Amazon. (Otherwise you can purchase hard copies from Amazon or other good bookstores.) When visiting the Video section on our homepage, you will see further videos we recommend to assist in your digestion of this undertsnading, specifically the 16 Main Videos that also form the start of our Freedom Essays series, to which you can subscribe to receive for free.

Isn’t it wonderful Allan! FREEDOM: The End Of The Human Condition, and Jeremy Griffith’s other key books including the booklet version of THE Interview, are freely available on our FIX THE WORLD website’s Publications page to read online, download; there are even instructions for printing and even binding your own copy! You can also download the free Kindle versions from Amazon.

Thanks so much Tebarae. The only thing we would point out is that bonobo cooperation (and the cooperation of our distant ancestors), while instinctive, was not formed from “Trying to survive”. As Jeremy Griffith explains in Part 3 of THE Interview, the only way that genuine cooperation or selflessness could develop was through the nurturing based love-indoctrination process, which is how we gained our loving instinctive self or soul (you can read more about love-indoctrination in chapter 5 of FREEDOM).

As Jeremy Griffith describes, the human condition has historically been such a fearful, off-limits topic that the mind simply needs time to ride out the initial shock of having it broached and all manner of mystery unlocked. That said, unlike the documentary ‘What the Bleep Do We Know!?’, which explored speculative interpretations of quantum physics, Jeremy’s work is grounded in evolutionary biology and anthropology. The aim isn’t mysticism or metaphysics, but a biological explanation of the human condition — the essential question of why, when the ideals of life are to be loving and selfless, are humans so competitive and selfish?

    The longer the search for knowledge went on the more psychologically upset the human race became, until the point was reached where terminal alienation, “self destruction” threatened. To quote Jeremy Griffith from Part 2 of THE Interview: “While we’ve had to live in denial of our corrupted, psychologically upset condition while we couldn’t explain it, the truth is that on a graph showing the ever-increasing levels of upset in humans, those levels, especially of psychosis and alienation, have been increasing so rapidly lately that the line tracking their rise is near vertical with the amount of upset virtually doubling now in each new generation! Freedom Essay 55 describes this terrifying end play threat of terminal levels of psychosis.”     However, even though the world is approaching terminal alienation and destruction seems imminent, the selfless love and energy that this redeeming, reconciling and rehabilitating explanation will generate will spread like wildfire and solve our problems very quickly. As Jeremy explains in THE Interview, and also in his book FREEDOM chapter 9:9 titled ‘How the Transformed Lifeforce Way of Living will quickly repair the world’, instead of being preoccupied with power, fame, fortune etc, all our energies will be freed to truly work together and focus on doing whatever it takes to end the suffering in all the corners of the world. Selfishness was the problem, but selflessness is the key to fixing everything quickly. Also, while it necessarily has a slow start, humanity’s uptake of the explanation of the human condition has a fast finish, which Jeremy also explains in FREEDOM ch 9:9: “Although this new world for humans, which the World Transformation Movement has been established to facilitate, will, as has been stated, have a slow beginning because humans initially find it difficult even taking in or ‘hearing’ discussion about the human condition, once the WTM is discovered, word of it and what it offers every human and the world will spread like wildfire—as the exceptional denial-free thinking prophet Teilhard de Chardin wrote, ‘The Truth has to only appear once…for it to be impossible for anything ever to prevent it from spreading universally and setting everything ablaze.'”

Yes, what is so significant about Jeremy Griffith’s explanation of the human condition is we no longer have to be burdened by the fundamental question of whether we are good or bad because our core goodness as individuals and as a species has been biologically established. We can understand humans’ psychological upset was the price humans had to pay for searching for knowledge and that the human story presents the greatest, most heroic story ever told. We can at last understand the source of our upset and bring great compassion and kindness to ourselves and others and, most significantly, we don’t have to overly confront the upset within us — as FAQ 1.19 ‘A caution about the danger of over-exposure / Advice for people with mental health issues’ summarises. This FAQ explains that everyone and especially those with mental health issues need to manage their exposure to this very confronting information, and any information we do provide should not be used as, or as a substitute for, professional counselling.

We have all been a part of that, but the great paradox that is revealed here is that there has been a very good reason for that. We had to defy our instincts in order to find knowledge and fulfil the potential of having a conscious mind, and the cost of that was that we became angry, egocentric and alienated. But having found the good reason that we had to defy our instincts means all our defensive, ‘bad’ behaviours (our anger, egocentricity and alienation) are now redundant. There couldn’t be a bigger breakthrough!
