Comments on THE Interview

Great to have your interest John. Jeremy Griffith’s definitive book FREEDOM and his other key books including a booklet version of THE Interview, are freely available on our homepage here to read online, print and download. You can also purchase hardcopies and download free Kindle versions from Amazon.

Really amazing!

Hi Natalia, you can see all our Spanish translations, including chapters 1 - 5 of FREEDOM (it won’t be long until we have translated the whole book!) and THE Interview, as well as the first Freedom Essay, on our Translations page. Also the WTM Colombian Centre presents its website in Spanish, including centre founder Carlos Cruz Blanco’s welcome video, so there is a feast of material available!

We suggest that the more you digest this understanding Garry, you will see that there is a ‘collective unconscious’ but that it is a shared by all loving,, cooperative instinctive moral self or soul - see Part 3 of THE Interview - but that these pre-established instincts then in effect criticised the conscious mind’s necessary experiments in self-management. All humans now live in a psychologically upset state as a result of the historic clash.

As Part 4, titled ‘How does the psychological rehabilitation of the human race that the arrival of understanding of the human condition finally makes possible actually occur?’ 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 effects. Certainly there is habituation to overcome and humans do find change difficult but 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 summarised in FAQ 1.5 about ‘How can you hope to transform the world?

Hi Palia, thanks for the comment! Electronic copies of Jeremy Griffith’s books are immediately available for free here on our homepage. This includes his definitive book FREEDOM and THE Interview. You can also download free Kindle versions from Amazon, where you can also purchase a hardcopy if you’d prefer.

Everything is making sense now, thanks Jeremy Griffith 💐

The human condition is the study of humans’ capacity for so-called ‘good and evil’and is therefore the realm of inquiry where science and religion overlap, so in explaining the human condition religion is demystified and explained. Jeremy Griffith’s treatise actually reconciles science and religion by bringing biological understanding to pre-scientific concepts. You might be interested in our FAQs about religion.

Thank you for your thoughts Change. We suggest the more you digest this presentation, the more you realise just how ubiquitous the human condition is; an insecurity about our self worth is behind all our behaviour and everyone suffers from it. And regarding this understanding providing a path to “manage and calm their angry psychological condition” (which is very well put!), what is so extraordinary about Jeremy Griffith’s biological treatise is that it logically and accountably defends human selfishness and egocentricity. And it is only with that defence of our ‘dark side’, through finding the good reason that we had to defy our instincts, that we can reconcile ourselves with our instincts and behave intuitively, 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.

    Thank you for your comment, Imre. Yes, we are certainly in critical need of a deeper understanding of ourselves so we can put an end to all the suffering and horror that our condition creates. And we suggest that the more you digest Jeremy Griffith’s ‘instinct vs intellect’ explanation, the more you will realise how accountable it is in getting to the source of all humanity’s psychological upset, which in the extreme, produces people who are capable of cruelty. Of course this breakthrough explanation doesn’t condone or sanction the horrendous atrocities 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, see 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?’. As the late Professor Harry Prosen, psychiatrist and former president of the Canadian Psychiatric Association, said: ‘I have no doubt Jeremy Griffith’s biological explanation of the human condition is the holy grail of insight we have sought for the psychological rehabilitation of the human race.’     And don’t despair Imre. While this necessarily has a slow start, humanity’s uptake of the explanation of the human condition has a fast finish as the selflessness it liberates in people will not only quickly solve all the problems on the planet, including teaching other people about this redeeming information, but the excitement and joy it brings means everyone will want to get on board as quickly as they can (see FAQ 1.5)! As Jeremy Griffith explains in his book FREEDOM chapter 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.’”

Hi Joshua, because this liberating truth is accountable, rational scientific explanation, our minds will all eventually absorb, understand and adopt it. Of course, we have all had to live our lives without explanation up to this point, and so there is a lot of habituation to overcome, but as Part 4 of THE Interview explains, this redeeming, uplifting and healing explanation of the human condition is SO liberating and SO exciting it is actually easy to access the transformation this brings about.

Interesting and thought provoking.

Great to have your interest Neveron. Our homepage — HumanCondition.com — provides an initial guide to learn more (and it is all FREE, and no registration required). At the top of the homepage it states ‘WHAT NEXT after watching THE Interview?’ and leads you through the steps to pursue your interest! Our interactive live events with Jeremy Griffith and others are also a great way to have questions answered, and interact with others to enhance your comprehension of this breakthrough explanation of the human condition. You can register for these totally free events on our homepage here. Also our Facebook Group provides a wonderful platform for participating in, or just observing, interesting and exciting discussion with others about how we can live with this critical new science.

Yes, the human condition is behind all our vices, including our anger, ego, lust, attachment and greed. These are all symptoms of our insecure human condition, so ultimately, to reform those behaviours we had to end that underlying insecurity, get to the core of the problem and fix that. And so it hasn’t been as simple as just acting with “love,compassion and understanding” – ultimately, only the defence of our ‘dark side’, through finding the good reason that we had to defy our instincts, would allow us to act with love and compassion, because only now are all our defensive behaviours (our anger, egocentricity and alienation) redundant. We no longer need them because we have the real defense for why we had to defy our instincts.

Yes EMan, questions about our worth and fallen state are central to understanding the human condition. The start point for addressing your question is understanding that the issue of the human condition has been the most terrifying of subjects to face as it is the issue of whether we are fundamentally good or bad as a species and until that could be solved we have necessarily had to live in almost total denial of it. Which then allows us to appreciate the significant role that religion has played – in a world of (necessary denial), it acted as the custodian of the ideal state and as a means of solace for those exhausted by the corrupting journey; our FAQs about the demystification of religion may be of interest. However, for those not as exhausted, religions admonitions to behave in an ideal way, could be seen as oppressive. In FAQ 6.3 Jeremy explains that, “With understanding of the human condition we can now appreciate that in order to encourage people to adhere to the integrative, ‘Godly’, cooperative ideals of life, religions sought to restrain ‘upset’ behaviour by making people fearful of behaving in an overly angry, egocentric and alienated way.”

Yes Woodrow, this desperately needed biological explanation and universal solution to the human condition needs to be introduced everywhere — and as with any new scientific breakthrough in history it will take time to reach the bastions of power in the world but 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 get their attention! And the good news is interest and support is rapidly growing each day, just see the ecstatic responses at the top of our homepage!

We can now understand that religion has acted as the custodian of the ideal state and as a means of solace for those exhausted by the corrupting journey; our FAQs about the demystification of religion may be of interest. So religion has had a very important role to play during humanity’s journey to find the understanding of why, when the universal ideals are to be loving, cooperative and selfless are we humans so angry, competitive and selfish. But it is this core question that Jeremy Griffith has answered with his explanation of how the ‘instinct vs intellect’ conflict caused us to become psychologically upset sufferers of the human condition, and it is this explanation that ‘delivers us from our bondage’.

Hi Hannah, Jeremy Griffith’s work is being translated into many languages around the world, thanks to the wonderful efforts of the WTM’s ever-expanding global network of support. Unfortunately we don’t yet have any Swahili translations, but we hope to in the near future! In the meantime, you can watch THE Interview (and all the videos on our website) in Swahili using the closed captions or subtitles function (just click on the ‘cc’ icon at the bottom of the video player/window).

How can I help

Very very interesting interview, still trying to process what I just heard. Is the interview also in writing, that will be helpful.

Hi Anwar-Nur, and thank you Fabiel. Jeremy Griffith’s key books, including his definitive book FREEDOM, are freely available on our homepage here to read online, print and download. You can also purchase hardcopies and download free Kindle versions from Amazon.

Hi Dave, as explained in our response to Samuel Akoto below, Buddhism certainly provided guidance on dealing with the symptoms of the human condition, but ultimately we needed to find the scientific explanation for why we deviated; for why, when the universal ideals are to be loving, cooperative and selfless, we are so angry, competitive and selfish? There have been thousands of years of different techniques to try and achieve enlightenment by calming, repressing and even transcending our psychologically upset human condition and deferring to the soundness of our soul in one form or another, but none of them have brought an end to the upset state of the human condition — it’s still rampant everywhere. The reason is because they don’t solve the human condition. They don’t deal with the source of our species’ corrupted condition and bring relieving understanding to it. This is what Jeremy Griffith’s treatise does and why it is heralded as the biological breakthrough that can save the world. Our FAQs about religion may be of interest.

Hi Kristijan, as is explained in our FAQ 1.1, ‘What is the human condition?’, “while it’s undeniable that humans are capable of great love, we also have an unspeakable history of brutality, rape, torture, murder and war. Despite all our marvellous accomplishments, we humans have been the most ferocious and destructive force that has ever lived on Earth—and the eternal question has been ‘why?’ Even in our everyday behaviour, why have we humans been so competitive, selfish and aggressive when clearly the ideals of life are to be the complete opposite, namely cooperative, selfless and loving? In fact, why are we so ruthlessly competitive, selfish and brutal that human life has become all but unbearable and we have nearly destroyed our own planet?! The agony of being unable to truthfully answer this fundamental question of why we are the way we are—divisively instead of cooperatively behaved—has been the particular burden of human life. It has been our species’ particular affliction or condition—our ‘human condition’.” We also recommend reading and/or watching Jeremy Griffith’s presentation, The Great Guilt, which outlines more comprehensively the definition of our human condition, and why engagement with the subject can be initially hard to grasp.
