Comments on THE Interview

    Thank you for your thoughts, Brandon. We suggest that the more you digest Jeremy Griffith’s ‘instinct vs intellect’ explanation, the more you will realise just how accountable and explanatory it is in getting to the source of all humanity’s psychological upset and trauma. And this is of incredible significance because, paradoxically, it was only through the defence of our conscious mind’s ‘upset’ behaviour that we could ever return to the loving state of our instincts; having found the good reason that we had to defy our instincts means all our defensive, ‘harmful’ ‘destructive’ behaviours (essentially our anger, egocentricity and alienation) are made redundant.     Regarding bonobos, while there are remnants of selfish reciprocity, sexual opportunism and aggression in bonobo behaviour, as indicated in THE Interview they are extraordinarily nurturing, and extraordinarily gentle and cooperative. When comparing them with the far more violent chimpanzees for example, the leading anthropologist and bonobo researcher Brian Hare observed that, “There has never been a recorded case in captivity or in the wild of a bonobo killing another bonobo”. Jeremy further evidences how cooperative and loving bonobos are in chapter 5 of his book FREEDOM and explains bonobos demonstrate the nurturing based love-indoctrination process that created our cooperative instincts, the ‘voice’ or expression of which is our conscience.

Jeremy Griffith’s biological ‘instinct vs intellect’ explanation of the human condition allows us to finally understand the real merits and liabilities of both the left and right wing. His work certainly doesn’t excuse the right-wing for its corrupting behaviour, nor unfairly focus on the failing of the left, which is that its insistence on ideal behaviour had the effect of oppressing the search for knowledge, but rather 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.

Glad I took the time to listen. A very interesting and thought provoking interview.

There is no correlation or comparison between the work of Tony Wright, who seeks to blame our species’ anger, egocentricity and alienation on neuro-degeneration and a descent into aggression and fear because of the impact of dietary changes on our biochemistry, with that of Jeremy Griffith, whose ‘instinct vs intellect’ treatise presents the real psychological reason for our angry, egocentric and alienated human condition. He explains that when humans developed a conscious mind some two million years ago, a battle unavoidably developed between it and our already established instincts. The result of this conflict between our instinct and intellect was an undeserved sense of guilt and insecurity that caused us to become psychologically upset—a state we sought to alleviate through a competitive, selfish and aggressive bid for the reinforcement we could gain from winning power, fame, fortune and glory. But now that we can explain and understand this conflict and the guilt it produced, all those insecure, defensive behaviours are obsoleted, brought to an end, and we free ourselves from the human condition. We suggest reading FAQ 1.13 ‘Is this idea original or new?’

    Hi Eri, it’s great that you are so keen to read FREEDOM, which can be downloaded for free HERE on our homepage (along with Jeremy’s other key books).     Regarding Konrad Lorenz, while he recognises that humanity has now gone beyond our instincts, resulting in murderous behaviour amongst our own kind, at base his theory blames our divisive, aggressive behaviour on having aggressive instincts, whereas Jeremy Griffith’s treatise explains that human instincts are selfless as a result of the love-indoctrination process and that the source of our aggression is a clash between our instincts and intellect. He explains that when our intellect emerged, a clash between those two operating systems produced the psychologically upset, angry, egocentric and alienated state of the human condition. And as Jeremy explains in Part 1 of THE Interview, “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.”

Hi Angela, that’s great that THE Interview is resonating so deeply with you. we suggest that as you keep absorbing its “revelations”, and the material on our website, you will appreciate the huge distinction between Jeremy Griffith’s and Eckhart Tolle’s work. Understanding the human condition is the great unlocking point in the human journey of conscious thought and enquiry and its resolution leads, at last, to the real basis for personal and global transformation. While the New Age movement, and its proponents like Tolle, focus on teaching us to restrain and transcend our anger, alienation and selfish egocentricity, the obvious truth is we needed to resolve it at its source and that is the great breakthrough Jeremy’s work presents. We are thinking beings, we need brain food not brain anaesthetic; we needed answers for our conscious thinking mind, without that all else is ultimately futile. You can read more about this in FAQ 6.5 which explains the difference between the WTM and pseudo-idealistic movements (in addition to Part 4 of THE Interview).

Hi Chad. The age-old question about humans has always been why, when the universal ideals are to be loving, cooperative and selfless, are we so angry, competitive and selfish? Answering this required finding the clarifying difference between the way the intellect and instincts work, and that is the great biological breakthrough Jeremy Griffith presents in THE Interview. We recommend FAQ 1.13 ‘Is this idea original or new?

While it is true that some people or cultures or ethnic groups or races are less psychologically upset than others (due to their circumstances, some individuals or races have less exposure to the human condition), the truth is that all humans are now to some extent psychologically upset, and therefore are all variously angry, aggressive and egocentric. What is important though, is that the key, compassionate insight that upset is not ‘bad’ allows us to reconcile the more upset with the less upset, which puts an end to all prejudices and oppression, see FAQ 9.1 about racism for example. We also recommend the presentation from Franklin Mukakanga, of Zambia, in Video/Freedom Essay 8.

Great to have your interest Rajbala. This explanation produces a huge paradigm shift so there is much to absorb but Part 4 of THE Interview, titled ‘How does the psychological rehabilitation of the human race that the arrival of understanding of the human condition finally makes possible actually occur?', does present the answer to how we can heal. As you mention it explains it will take a number of generations for the upset within us to be completely healed but it also stresses importantly we can be immediately free of its affects. At last we can understand our behaviour has been driven by a deep insecurity about our fundamental goodness or worth and 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. ‘Legitimately’ because we have the first principle science which liberates us to be honest about our conflicted upset state instead of denying or transcending it. So instead of being focused on power, fame, fortune and glory, all our energies will be freed to truly work together on doing whatever it takes to end the suffering and save our world. How this healing is immediately open to us all is further explained in Freedom Essay 15 ‘How our lives can be immediately transformed’ and the Transformation section of our website is brimming with invaluable insight and personal affirmations.

    Jeremy Griffith acknowledges M. Scott Peck’s work recognises our corruption of self was for a positive reason, namely our conscious search for understanding, particularly self-understanding. As THE Interview explains elements of the human condition have been recognised by many thinkers throughout history but what is unique about Jeremy’s synthesis is he actually solves the dilemma of human condition of ‘why, when the ideals are to be loving and selfless, are we so competitive and selfish?’ by clarifying the difference between the way the intellect and instincts work. That is the great breakthrough his work represents (see Video/Freedom Essay 4 on other thinkers who have recognised instinct and intellect elements involved in creating the human condition). In terms of human ‘evil’, which ‘People of the Lie’ discusses, our FAQ 1.38 explains how this breakthrough explanation doesn’t condone or sanction the horrendous attrocities humans can commit 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.     You may be interested that Jeremy Griffith is currently writing two new essays which will cover the work of Bruce Lipton and others and the huge difference between them and his instinct vs intellect treatise. These essays are Freedom Essays 63: ‘Pseudo Therapy/Healing’ and 64: ‘Real Therapy/Healing’. Essay 63 will explain there are many approaches that seek to heal and therapise human psychoses but they are all coming from an extremely dishonest and superficial, human-condition-avoiding, pseudo therapising angle, and this does include the work of Bruce Lipton, and Essay 64 will present the human-condition-confronting, honest, true, genuinely effective therapy/healing that understanding of the human condition now makes possible.

Thank you for your feedback Andrew. We suggest that the more you digest Jeremy Griffith’s ‘instinct vs intellect’ explanation, the more you will realise how realistic and accountable it is in getting to the source of all humanity’s psychological upset. As THE Interview explains we have completely loving and selfless instincts, and that our greed and indifference is the result of a psychosis, resulting from a clash between our emerging conscious mind and those pre-established instincts. Materialism and inequality are symptoms of the underlying, deep insecurity in humans caused by the human condition, so if we solve that condition we resolve all its symptoms. To do this we needed to answer the essential question of why, when the ideals are to be loving and selfless, are we so competitive and selfish? It is this question of questions that Jeremy has solved with his explanation. To quote FAQ 1.6 ‘Why does understanding solve everything’: “So, in a world fast going crazy from the effects of the human condition, this is the now desperately needed reconciling understanding that brings about a new world for humans FREE of the agony of the human condition. This is the understanding that ends human suffering at its source, and unites the human race.” Also as Part 4 of THE Interview explains, yes it will take generations for the upset within us to be completely healed but importantly we can be immediately free of its affects as you can see from the daily ecstatic responses on our homepage and the videos on our Transformation page—people everywhere are so relieved and excited to finally be able to make sense of human life!!

    Thank you Marion. Any resemblance between Hoffman’s idea that species perceive a version of reality that assists their goals of survival and reproduction, and Jeremy Griffith’s explanation of the human condition that explains that we have had to block out our instinctive ideals because of their unfair criticism of us, and instead lead an evasive, denial-practising, lying, avoid-any-criticism, escapist, alienated, superficial and artificial, greedy, egocentric, power, fame, fortune and glory-seeking existence, is purely superficial.     Firstly, key to Jeremy Griffith’s explanation of the human condition is that humans’ primary instinctive orientation is not selfish, must-reproduce-our-genes ‘survival’ but rather, to behave selflessly. While it is a common misconception that selfish instincts are the source of our selfish and aggressive behaviour, as is also explained in THE Interview, that was just a convenient excuse while we searched for the psychosis-addressing-and-solving real explanation of our divisive behaviour.     And as Jeremy explains in THE Interview, when our conscious mind wrested control from our instincts and began its search for understanding our instincts in effect criticised the conscious mind, and the result was the psychologically upset angry, egocentric and alienated state that characterises the human condition.

Yes, well put – this does ‘transform the shadow and create love’. Indeed, as Jung was forever saying, “wholeness for humans depends on the ability to own our own shadow”. But while Jung was able to highlight a clash between instinctual drives and consciousness, he did not explain the source of the clash or that the fundamental nature of our psychosis was our repression of loving and cooperative instincts. What Jeremy has provided is the all-important clarifying, redeeming, reconciling and psychologically rehabilitating explanation for why the conflict between our instincts and our consciousness occurred. Until that was found, we humans couldn’t relieve ourselves of our psychologically upset state or condition.

Hi Adrian, what becomes clear on digesting this explanation of the human condition is that all humans, not just business men, politicians and crooks, suffer from the psychologically upset state of the human condition. We recommend reading FAQ 1.13 “Is this idea original or new? / How does biologist Jeremy Griffith’s ‘instinct vs intellect’ explanation of the human condition differ from other theories that recognise these elements?”, as it explains the unique significance of Jeremy’s work. Most importantly, in finding the clarifying difference between the way the intellect and instincts work, Jeremy has answered the great question of why, when the universal ideals are to be loving, cooperative and selfless, we are so angry, competitive and selfish. This is of incredible significance because 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. This is the essence of the transformation that this breakthrough makes available.

Thanks Kathleen, yes, you will find that the biological explanation of the human condition allows us to reconcile and ‘fit together’ so many approaches to life and disparate strands of human knowledge. Regarding Thomas Keating, there have certainly been thinkers, religious and otherwise, who have said that humanity needed to find its “True Self”, but the only way we can truly reconcile with our ‘true self’ is through understanding, in first-principle, biological terms, why we left that state, lost connection, became upset and “false” in the first place. This is precisely what Jeremy Griffith’s work addresses. It provides the long-sought-after, biological answer to the riddle of human nature – why, when the universal ideals are to be loving, cooperative and selfless, we are so angry, competitive and selfish.

When the fully conscious mind emerged it wasn’t enough for it to be orientated by instincts (as ‘beautiful’ as that golden age was), it had to find understanding to operate effectively and fulfil its great potential to manage life. And, as is explained in THE Interview, suffering psychological upset was the price we had to pay for that heroic search for understanding. However, what THE Interview presents fundamentally lifts the ‘burden of guilt’ from the human race and allows us to forgive ourselves and finally solve and end our psychologically troubled human condition—it couldn’t be a bigger breakthrough.

This is really powerful. I was so overwhelmed with mixed emotions listening to it.

Yes, there is extensive psychological damage done at an early age, which we are forced to repress in order to defend ourselves against the implication that we are ‘bad’ or not worthwhile, which you can read more about in chapters 8:16B and C. But as distinguished psychiatrist Professor Harry Prosen (who wrote the Introduction to Jeremy Griffith’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).

Yes, John John, and the knowledge we needed in order to be truly caring, loving and empowered to bring an end to all wars is this understanding of the human condition. 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 in THE Interview and his book FREEDOM. As Professor Harry Prosen, a former President of the Canadian Psychiatric Association, recognised, “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, which is non-personal and thus more easily confronted, absorbed and accepted. 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.”

Yes Lisa, once we understand that everyone is carrying a repressed sense of guilt over having destroyed paradise without being able to explain why, all our angry, egocentric and alienated behaviour makes sense. What is so wonderful is that this macro defence allows us to therapise all the hurt we suffer in our own lives as a result of our own individual encounters with the human condition. As distinguished psychiatrist Professor Harry Prosen (who wrote the Introduction to Jeremy Griffith’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).

Makes sense. I like to learn more. I’m very interested in the truth. How I can get audio book? It’s very interesting.

    Thank you Oday for your interest; it’s wonderful you are so far advanced in your reading of FREEDOM, because you will be aware that the key to this information is that it defends our so-called ‘dark side. That is why it is so powerful: it actually allows us all (especially children) to reconcile the selfish madness of the world, and in ourselves, with ideality. And by explaining the very good reason why our intellect had to defy our instincts, it makes redundant our defensive behaviours of anger, egocentricity and alienation, which is what makes it totally different to pseudo idealistic demands that we all just behave cooperatively. And so we have no doubt you’ll enjoy Chapter 9 immensely because as Jeremy Griffith explains there, while it will take some time to break through the bastions of power in the world, once this information gets a foothold through enough people developing a deep appreciation and desire to support it, the selfless love and energy that will generate will solve our problems very quickly because 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. And at that point, the excitement and joy it brings means everyone will want to get on board as quickly as they can!     In terms of helping the cause, FAQ 3.4 ‘How can I help the WTM?’ lists the many ways people can help become involved, which includes setting up a WTM Centre, and help disseminate this world-saving information.

Yes Nasrine, with our so called ‘dark side’ now defended, we can now admit our innocent, loving instinctive self/soul, which we can see so clearly in children, because it no longer condemns how corrupted we had to become. With the ego now championed we can once again return to that selfless, loving, joyful state. That is what is ahead of humanity now.

We sympathise Matyas – this does represent a huge paradigm shift, and so it does take time to absorb, but you have recognised its importance already, so if you keep looking at the material and thinking about it all, your mind will pretty quickly assimilate it; and it just gets more and more exciting as your understanding deepens!

The human condition has caused unthinkable pain and suffering, especially for children, it really is almost too much to bear. However, understanding of the human condition means we can finally start talking the TRUTH about ourselves and our world, which will be so relieving to our children who will no longer be bewildered by the lies, hypocrisy and silence of the adult world. Additionally, and most significantly, being able to understand the human condition, we no longer have to be burdened by the fundamental question we all have struggled with of whether we are good or bad anymore because our fundamental goodness as a species has been biologically established (which THE Interview summarises). That macro truth looks after all humans now, both children and parents, and we can treat ourselves with great compassion and love ourselves at last. You may find psychiatrist Professor Harry Prosen’s response to the question ‘How does understanding the human race’s condition help with an individual’s depression and psychosis? helpful – see FAQ 1.34; and FAQ 1.35 ‘Does this heal anxiety?’ is also extremely helpful. Explaining the human condition necessarily exposes the level of upset within ourselves and the world and importantly we don’t have to overly confront that upset within us as FAQ 1.19 ‘A caution about the danger of over-exposure / Advice for people with mental health issues’ summarises.

Jeremy Griffith’s explanation of the human condition is the self-understanding that we needed to prevent self destruction. While it is true that this information still needs to become mainstream, the great, relieving, exciting-almost-beyond-belief truth is that redeeming, reconciling and rehabilitating self-understanding is now here. Basically, so exciting and relieving is this breakthrough, and the freedom from the human condition that is now on offer, that everyone will want it, and so it will catch on like wildfire and this is already happening. Just read the ecstatic responses THE Interview is receiving on our homepage and scroll down to see the rapidly growing appreciation and support for the WTM with outstanding commendations from thought leaders and WTM Centres all over the world!

Yes Terence, all the problems we’re experiencing on this planet, aside from natural phenomenon, are caused by us humans. We are the ones who are egocentric, selfish, greedy, materialistic, fake, angry as hell. And so it’s that underlying issue — our destructively behaved, so-called human condition — that really has to be addressed and fixed if our species is to survive. Only the psychosis-addressing-and-solving, real explanation of the human condition can stop the destruction of our world and the disintegration of society that is happening everywhere we look. And it is precisely this real psychologically redeeming, relieving and transforming explanation that biologist Jeremy Griffith has delivered in this instinct vs intellect understanding of the human condition. See FAQ 1.6 ‘Why does understanding solves everything’.
