Comments on THE Interview

Thank you for your interest Dee. You may be interested that Jeremy Griffith is currently writing two new essays which will cover the work of Eckhart Tolle and others and the huge difference between them and his instinct vs intellect treatise. As THE Interview explains it is our destructively behaved, so-called human condition that really has to be dealt with if we are to heal ourselves and the human race. To do this we had to answer the age-old question of ‘why, when the universal ideals are to be loving, cooperative and selfless, are we so angry, competitive and selfish?’, and this required finding the clarifying difference between the way the intellect and instincts work, and that is the great biological breakthrough Jeremy presents. These forthcoming essays are Freedom Essays 63: ‘Pseudo Therapy/Healing’ and Freedom Essay 64: ‘The real therapy of the human condition that now becomes possible’ (click on these essay links for information about each essay). Also FAQ 6.5 explains the critical difference between Jeremy’s work and pseudo idealism.

Hi Sigeh, Thank you for your feedback. Jeremy Griffith’s definitive book FREEDOM is freely available to download or read online here on our homepage where you will also see Jeremy’s other key books. You can also download free Kindle versions of these books from Amazon. (Otherwise you can purchase hard copies from Amazon or other good bookstores.)

Thanks for your question Nat. This understanding presents a new way of viewing ourselves so we recommend people take time to re-watch THE Interview as it explains all humans are born with loving ‘good’ instincts not savage animal ‘bad’ instincts. So, as you so accurately say, ‘if we went from good to bad we have even more to feel guilty about’! And that is what is so significant about what Jeremy Griffith explains in THE Interview: that we rightly left our loving, soulful instinctive state and suffered becoming corrupted in soul in order to fulfil the great potential of our conscious mind. So at last we can understand just how heroic the human journey to find knowledge has been and we no longer have to carry the immense burden of guilt and shame for having corrupted our original innocent state. So now the task of championing our ignorance and solving the human condition has been achieved we can legitimately return to a loving and selfless way of living! As Jeremy explains on the WTM Transformation page “We now have the completely redeeming, uplifting and healing biological understanding of the core mystery and problem about human behaviour of our so-called ‘good and evil’-stricken human condition—thus ending all the conflict and suffering in human life at its source, and providing the now urgently needed road map for the complete rehabilitation and transformation of our lives and world!”

Unbelievable, He is beyond my expectations

In this interview Jeremy Griffith describes and explains the source of the ferociously angry dark side in humans, our ‘volcanic anger’, which has meant we are capable of such horrific acts as the holocaust and genocide. To quote Part 4 “While we have learnt to significantly restrain and conceal—‘civilise’ as we refer to it—the phenomenal amount of upset within us, under the surface we all must be boiling with rage, and sometimes, when our restraint can no longer find a way to contain it, that anger must express itself—hence our capacity for shocking acts of cruelty, sadism, hate, murder and war.” Essentially Jeremy answers the age old question of humanity’s extremely paradoxical nature, how we humans could be good when all the evidence appears to indicate we are bad or even ‘evil’. Most importantly this explanation does not condone or sanction such upset, rather, through bringing understanding to humans’ upset behaviour, it gives us the power to ameliorate and thus subside and ultimately eliminate it, see our 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?’

Yes Mark we have to keep this close as the human condition has historically been such a fearful, off-limits topic our denial can easily return so there is habituation to overcome, but all of Jeremy Griffith’s writings on the Transformed way of living, explains how real change is immediately open to us all. This is summarised in FAQs 1.4 to 1.6 and Freedom Essay 15 ‘How our lives can be immediately transformed’ and our Transformation section of our website is brimming with invaluable insight and personal affirmations as to how ‘to keep it’.

    Thank you for your comment Roger. Jeremy Griffith’s work opens up a new way of thinking so it takes a little time to fully absorb but we suggest, now we can explain the human condition, we can understand that politics, war and the destruction of our environment are symptoms of our insecure, psychologically upset condition. Only solving the human condition, addressing the source of our selfish psychological upset, could we achieve real and lasting change and stop the destruction of our world that is happening everywhere we look (see FAQ 1.6 ‘Why does understanding of the human condition solve everything?’).     Yes, Nietzsche was an ever-insightful honest thinker, and accurately foretold just how meaningless life was becoming, to the point that we have now arrived at an end play situation (read more in Freedom Essay 55). Nietzsche also pointed the way to the biological explanation of the human condition, when he recogised that, unlike other animals, humans have had to fight a psychological demon, the human condition. To quote his much acclaimed book Thus Spoke Zarathustra: A Book for Everyone and No One: “Man, however, is the most courageous animal: with his courage he has overcome every animal. With a triumphant shout he has even overcome every pain; human pain, however, is the deepest pain” (see FREEDOM ch 8:11B). Ultimately we needed to find the scientific explanation for this ‘deepest pain’, the pain of not being able to know whether humans were fundamentally evil beings or not. We needed to answer the question of 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 presents in THE Interview and his book FREEDOM.

Thank you Anthea for your comment. We wanted to mention some of our FAQs that you may find helpful. Firstly, our FAQs about religion are most interesting as 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. Also, in terms of this explanation being able to bring harmony to the human race FAQ 1.6 explains how being able to understand the human condition ends human suffering at its source, and unites the human race.

Hi Ben, at the top of our homepage — HumanCondition.com — it states ‘WHAT NEXT after watching THE Interview?’ and guides you through the steps to pursue your interest. This includes joining our popular Facebook Group and registering for our free, live, interactive events with Jeremy Griffith and others. At our most recent live event Jeremy presented an absolutely astonishingly revealing and important presentation titled The Great Guilt that causes the Deaf Effect which we recommend after watching THE Interview.

    Thank you for your question Dr Brown. As Professor Harry Prosen, former President of the Canadian Psychiatric Association, has said about the plight of the world that “the fastest growing realization everywhere is that humanity can’t go on the way it is going. Indeed, the great fear is we’re entering endgame where we appear to have lost the race between self-destruction and self-understanding.” The point he is making is that we need answers, especially about ourselves, and we need them urgently.     As is explained in FAQ 1.6 ‘Why does understanding the human condition solve everything?’, “While issues such as the environment have dominated concerns in recent times, the obvious truth is that we have only been focusing on the symptoms; everything to date has been nothing more than a band-aid. 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 we are to solve the world’s problems.”     So to save our world, we need to address the cause of the all the problems we face – whether they be climate change, environmental destruction, resource depletion or overpopulation – and that cause is the human condition and that is what Jeremy Griffith has addressed and solved, and that is why his work is heralded as being able to save the world.

Great to have your interest Wame. Yes certainly other disciplines have contributed but to solve the human condition meant answering the question of why, when the ideals are to be loving and cooperative, we are so selfish and competitive, and that was ultimately a biological question as it required finding the clarifying difference between the way the intellect and instincts work – this is the great breakthrough Jeremy Griffith presents, as you say ‘a priceless treasure’!

Thank you very much for your comment Katherine. You might be interested in Jeremy’s amazing new presentation The Great Guilt that causes the Deaf Effect, which brings extraordinary clarity to the burden of guilt that all humans now carry as a result of the human condition.

Interesting...love...love the epiphany that Adam an Eve are heroes. Thank u

    While Christianity, Buddhism and other religions contain all manner of truths about human life, it is all from a pre-scientific view. And there have been thousands of years of different techniques for calming, restraining, 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. 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.     You might be interested to know that Jeremy Griffith has written about Christ’s life and its phenomenal importance in humanity’s journey in Freedom Essay 39.

Thank you Laura. Jeremy Griffith is currently writing two new essays which will cover the work of Bruce Lipton, Braden and Dispenza and the huge difference between what they are promoting, which is essentially an extremely dishonest and superficial, human-condition-avoiding, pseudo therapising angle, and Jeremy’s instinct vs intellect treatise. As THE Interview explains it is our destructively behaved, so-called human condition that really has to be dealt with if we are to solve the world’s problems and heal the human race. To do this we had to answer the age-old question of ‘why, when the universal ideals are to be loving, cooperative and selfless, are we so angry, competitive and selfish?’, and this required finding the clarifying difference between the way the intellect and instincts work, and that is the great biological breakthrough Jeremy presents. You may find FAQ 1.13 ‘Is this idea original or new? / How does this instinct vs intellect explanation of the human condition differ from other theories that recognise these elements?’ of interest.

For those who are new to this understanding 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. This has meant, that until it was solved, we have had to block it out of our minds so it is common for people to initially find Jeremy Griffith’s biological explanation of the human condition difficult to access or ‘hear’, which is what is termed the ‘deaf effect’, see FAQ 1.16. To further help people overcome this initial resistance to the subject of the human condition, Jeremy has just recently produced a companion presentation to THE Interview titled The Great Guilt that causes the Deaf Effect which comprehensively deals with this understandable fear and cynicism about confronting the human condition. It includes examples of people overcoming the deaf effect and it is an absolutely astonishingly revealing presentation. People can watch it here on our website.

Hi Bobby, in Part 3 of THE Interview Jeremy Griffith explains how we became fully conscious which developed as a result of nurturing or the love-indoctrination process. He refers the viewer to chapter 7 of his definitive book FREEDOM which provides a comprehensive explanation — a summary of which is provided in FAQ 5.4 titled ‘What is consciousness? / Why is it that humans became conscious while other animals haven’t? / How did consciousness emerge in humans?’. In that FAQ it is explained that consciousness means being sufficiently aware of how experiences are related to attempt to manage change from a basis of understanding. He then explains that what blocks other animals from becoming conscious is that the gene-based natural selection process is, in effect, totally opposed to any altruistic, selfless thinking, and since altruism is the very theme and meaning of existence, such opposition blocks the development of honest, sound, effective thinking. Finally, he explains that the reason we were able to become fully conscious is that, quite by accident, the nurturing of selfless instincts breached the block against thinking truthfully by superimposing a new, truthful, selflessness-recognising mind over the older, effectively dishonest, selfless-thinking-blocked one.

Thank you for your thoughts and encouragement, Adama. It is true that the upset caused by the conscious mind’s necessary, yet corrupting, search for knowledge accumulates in the sense that someone born into a world that is already upset, will be traumatised and psychologically upset by that ‘historical’ upset, and then in turn pass that upset on to the next generation and so on. So in that sense it is a generational problem that has been compounding at an alarming rate. But that doesn’t mean that with understanding of the human condition now found we won’t be able to live free of upset, see FAQ 1.5.

Hi Ana, you can see all our translations on our Translations page. You will see that we have translated THE Interview (A Entrevista) into Portuguese, but are working on adding other Portuguese translations as soon as we can!

    It is wonderful to learn of your enthusiasm for our work, Emmanuel! We have a helpful guide on our website for people who want to help and join the WTM which you can see here. We encourage people to subscribe to our mailing list, watch our key introductory material, read FREEDOM (Jeremy Griffith’s definitive presentation of this breakthrough understanding), and interact with us. You may also be interested in joining our Facebook Community Group.     Given your profession, we thought you may also be very interested in the opinion of the highly respected psychiatrist Professor Harry Prosen, a former President of the Canadian Psychiatric Association, who wrote the Foreword to FREEDOM: “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).

Hi Greg, we can assure you that this understanding is being rolled out with the utmost urgency in the clear knowledge that the world is in terrible trouble. With regard to politics, Jeremy Griffith’s work opens up a new way of thinking so it takes a little time to fully absorb the great paradox of the human condition, which was that what appeared to be ‘bad’ was actually ‘good’; and nowhere is this paradox more apparent than in politics. His work certainly doesn’t overlook the right-wing’s corrupting behaviour, but we can now understand the main failing of the left, which is that its insistence on ideal behaviour had the effect of oppressing and thus regressing, not progressing, the search for knowledge. In the end though, this explanation of the human condition brings an end to the whole ugly business of politics. This is fully explained in our FAQs about politics.

Jeremy Griffith’s work explains that issues such as overpopulation; environmental destruction; resource depletion are merely symptoms of a deeper problem and will not fundamentally change at all until we solve this dilemma of the human condition—our capacity for ‘good’ and ‘evil’—and bring self-understanding to the human situation. This interview provides the ideal summary presentation to watch Jim, and you might also find FAQ 1.6 ‘Why does understanding of the human condition solve everything?’ helpful.

It’s quite refreshing and intriguing at the same time to listen to something that could potentially revolutionize our way of thinking in a very profound way. Thanks

Jeremy Griffith’s explanation of the human condition, brings biological understanding to religious accounts of our condition, which means we can at last reconcile science and religion. For instance, as THE Interview explains, the 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’. However, significantly we can now understand, from scientific first principles, that ‘Adam and Eve’ were ‘good’ to search for knowledge, not bad or ‘evil’; we humans are actually the absolute heroes of the whole story! It establishes that we are good and not bad after all. What THE Interview presents fundamentally lifts the ‘burden of guilt’ from the human race and allows us to forgive ourselves and others and finally end our psychologically troubled human condition—it couldn’t be a bigger breakthrough. You might be interested in our FAQs about religion, especially 6.2 ‘What is God’ and 6.3 ‘Does this understanding undermine religion’. Also there are Jeremy’s Freedom Essays 38 – 41 about the demysification of religion which are absolutely fascinating.

Thank you very much for comment Mike. Ultimately we do hold that understanding is key to bringing peace to the human condition allowing us to reconcile our divided selves, but we greatly appreciate your consideration of Jeremy Griffith’s work and certainly respect other people’s opinions about it. We did think it was worth mentioning here an FAQ about our all-loving and sensitive soul which may help with your further consideration about whether humans are born sinful or not. It is FAQ 1.26 titled ‘What is soul, have we all got one, has it been repressed, and if so, how do we rehabilitate it?’
