Hi Linda, yes Jeremy Griffith’s work has received extraordinary commendations from scientists, thought leaders and the general public which you can see here on our homepage. Also please see our reply to Penny below which answers ‘What is the human condition?’

Penny, we recommend FAQ 1.1 which explains what the human condition is. In it, Jeremy Griffith writes, "As I explained in THE Interview and in all my other presentations, we humans once lived in a nurtured-with-unconditional-love, cooperative, selfless and loving innocent state, which the bonobo species of ape is presently on the threshold of achieving. If we stand back and think about this original cooperative, selfless and loving state and then think about how competitive, selfish and aggressive we humans are now, the contrast between the two states couldn’t be greater. And if we think about that extreme contrast and then think about the situation we have been stuck in for some 2 million years where we haven’t been able to explain our so-called ‘fall from grace’, the corruption of our original all-sensitive and all-loving, innocent instinctive self or soul, then how deeply traumatised with guilt and shame must we humans have been all that time! Certainly, we learnt to block the horror of this situation out of our mind, but that has been the underlying psychological predicament we humans have been enduring. So having had to live with this insufferable, unbearably depressing guilt and shame for having destroyed the magic world of our soul is what the human condition really is!"

Margaret, we wanted to let you know that you can immediately access free electronic copies of Jeremy Griffith’s definitive book FREEDOM (along with his other key books, including THE Interview) 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.)

Good on you Lauriejo! THE Interview, along with Jeremy Griffith’s definitive book FREEDOM: The End Of The Human Condition, is freely available on our homepage at www.humancondition.com along with Jeremy’s other key books. You can read them online or download them (no email required). You can also download the free Kindle versions or purchase hard copies from Amazon. Hard copies are also available at other good bookstores.

With this compassionate understanding of the human condition we can now appreciate that humanity’s necessary preoccupation with finding knowledge compromised our ability to nurture our children to the extent their instincts expect, but now that that preoccupation ends we can safely acknowledge the absolute importance of nurturing in our species’ development (see Part 3 of THE Interview; also Freedom Essay 21) and in the individual development of children (see chapter 8:16C of Jeremy’s definitive book FREEDOM see contents page here). Also, to quote chapter 6:13 of FREEDOM titled, Nurturing now becomes a priority: “now that we have found that very good reason why parents have been unable to nurture their children with anything like the unconditional love children instinctively expect and need, it is no longer necessary to deny the importance of nurturing both in the maturation of our species and in our own lives. Yes, with the arrival of understanding the terrible guilt that parents have felt for not being able to adequately nurture their offspring departs. Parents can now understand that their inability to adequately love their offspring is not their fault, but the product of the ever-accumulating levels of upset in the human race as a whole that resulted from our species’ heroic 2-million-year search for knowledge, specifically for self-knowledge, understanding of why we conscious humans are good and not bad. So yes, we can finally now admit the importance of nurturing and turn our attention back to the nurturing of our offspring—in fact, it now becomes a matter of great urgency that we do both these things.”

Hi Teresa, we would love you to get involved! The WTM’s homepage—HumanCondition.com—provides a guide to ‘WHAT NEXT after watching THE Interview?’ which recommends the steps to learn more and get involved—and it is all free! This includes joining our popular WTM Community Facebook Group and registering for free, live, interactive events with Jeremy Griffith and others. You will also see our 16 Main Introductory Videos and our Freedom Essay series which serve as a wonderfully comprehensive course as it guides you through much of the content of Jeremy’s definitive book FREEDOM in beautifully illustrated bite-size pieces. As well our Community page shows all the other exciting ways to join our all-exciting, heals-ourselves-and-the-world WTM Community, including our WTM Swedish Centre; and finally, you might be interested in our How to Help page.

As you digest this, you will realise that it was only through understanding the human condition that we could actually save the world, and amazingly, that is what has been done!. You might be interested in biologist Dr Anna Fitzgerald’s description about how this explanation is the real liberation of women - see Freedom Essay 9; and also our FAQs on men and women.

    You will find that just having the understanding of the human condition will gradually bring enourmous therapy to your situation Tavia. We recommend the new presentation The Great Transformation, which explains that there are two aspects to the transformation that understanding the human condition brings: one is the Transformation that is immediately available to everyone now that all our efforts to prove ourselves have been fulfilled and therefore made redundant; and the other is the therapy that understanding all the madness around – as well as inside us – brings. You will see presentations from Jeremy Griffith, Tony Gowing, and the Akritidis family, explaining and evidencing both of these aspects.     Just to expand on that a bit, while meditation has helped us manage our psychological condition, ultimately it was only by bringing reconciling understanding to our conflicted selves that we could truly ameliorate and heal it and ‘reprogram our subconscious’. As the 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”. So Jeremy’s work couldn’t represent a more significant breakthrough because it presents the psychosis-addressing-and-solving real explanation of the human condition that can finally relieve and heal our deeply conflicted and troubled upset state.

Thanks Lales, please pursue that interest, you won’t be disappointed! Our homepage — HumanCondition.com — provides a wonderful road map to progress with all our key material made freely available and you can register for free, live, interactive presentations with Jeremy Griffith about this immensely relieving understanding. 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.

Hi Maria, THE Interview is available to read in Portuguese – just go to our Translations page. Also people can watch THE Interview (and all the videos on our website) using the closed captions or subtitles function in their native language (just click on the ‘cc’ icon at the bottom of the video player/window).

Thank you very much for your thoughts Valerie. As you say this presentation certainly challenged your perceptions so we suggest with time you will see what Jeremy Griffith has done has explained the source of our ‘fractured nature’ and with that all the ways we have had to cope — our ‘addiction to appease our fractured nature’ — becomes a thing of the past. Along with re-watching THE Interview we suggest these FAQs: FAQ 1.5 ‘Why is this important to my life’, FAQ 1.6 ‘How understanding the human condition solves everything’ 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?’

Hi Susan, thank you for your comment and it is wonderful the world-saving potential of this explanation is resonating with you so deeply. You are right, social media and the internet makes widespread communication of this all-redeeming and all-healing ‘instinct vs intellect’ biological explanation of the human condition possible but, as THE Interview explains, the human condition has historically been such a fearful, off-limits topic that the world in general had to take up denial of it until the solution was found. Now it is explained and solved it’s therefore safe to look at the human condition and it will just take a little time for enough people to overcome their fear to access it’s world-saving potential before it becomes mainstream, see FAQ 1.14 ‘Why aren’t these ideas mainstream? / If these ideas are so true and important then why haven’t I heard of them?/ Why aren’t all the talk shows discussing this critical breakthrough in science?’. So, even though we haven’t yet reached the tipping point in terms of awareness of this great breakthrough, you can see from the excitement and relief in the ecstatic responses to THE Interview at the top of our homepage HumanCondition.com, there is a freight train of support building so we are well on our way! Also, on our homepage, you can see the 1000s of outstanding commendations for Jeremy’s work from scientists, thought leaders and the general public and our over 60 WTM Centres all over the world! As well our Facebook Group is one of the fastest growing on Facebook with over 50,000 members. So come and join the excitement and lend your support to help save the world Susan — just go to HumanCondition.com and subscribe to our mailing list, join our Facebook Group and check out more ways to help in section 6 on the homepage.

Hi Dennis, while great care has been taken to present the explanation as quickly and simply as possible (which is done in Part 1 of THE Interview), opening up the underlying issue in all human affairs of the human condition does mean that there are several absolutely critical questions to be answered, which make up Parts 2, 3 & 4 of THE Interview so we hope you complete watching! However, FAQ 1.3 presents a very brief summary of the key ‘instinct vs intellect’ concept. Essentially, when we humans developed a conscious mind some 2 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 that we became psychologically defensive, angry, alienated and egocentric – the upset state we refer to as the human condition. But now that we can explain and understand this conflict, all those insecure, defensive behaviours are obsoleted, brought to an end, and we free ourselves from the human condition.

    Yes Jim, the world is fast reaching its 11th hour. This new science presents a huge paradigm shift in our thinking so it does take a little time to see how it can address your concerns but it actually does and will turn things around incredibly quickly because it explains and solves the underlying cause of our psychological upset which we sought relief from through the acquisition of power, fame, fortune and glory. We suggest reading our FAQ 1.40 which addresses the questions ‘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?’. Also, we recommend Jeremy’s Freedom Essays about ‘Do we fail or do we make it?’ (see F. Essays 55—58). These present a fearlessly honest analysis of the state of the world followed by how the extraordinary transforming power of this information can actually save the world.     It is wonderful you will be sharing this information and want to explore it more so we have included our recommended next steps to help you progress your interest: • Subscribe to our free Mailing List where you will receive one email per week, occasional News Flashes, and notifications for our Live Events. • Watch the Main Videos where Jeremy Griffith (& others) talk you through the explanation of the human condition.

Thank you for your questions Christopher. Yes this biological explanation of our condition provides the universal solution to all our problems including how to heal our adverse behaviour. All the problems in the world that we are facing like over population, environmental devastation, genocide, terrorism, mass displacement of peoples, starvation, runaway diseases, gross inequality, ‘racial’ and gender oppression, polarised politics, rampant corruption and other crimes, drug abuse, family breakdown, and epidemic levels of obesity, chronic anxiety, depression, unhappiness and loneliness, are all symptoms of a deeper problem. We are suggesting that to truly solve the world’s problems we need to address and fix the underlying issue responsible for these problems, which is the human condition – our corrupted, psychologically upset state, see FAQ 1.5 and FAQ 1.6.

Yes Hernan, at last we now have the scientific explanation that redeems us! We can now understand that having to become psychologically upset and carry the burden of guilt we felt for having to leave and corrupt our original cooperative and loving instinctive self was the responsible thing to do while we continued the search for knowledge. This is what is so extraordinary about Jeremy Griffith’s biological treatise — it actually defends the conscious mind for becoming so angry, egocentric and alienated or upset. That is the great paradox of the human condition – we humans had to defy our all-loving instincts and become corrupted in self in order to find understanding of the human condition. Now with that found we can at last reconcile our divides selves and bring real and lasting transformation to the world, see our Transformation page.

As THE Interview explains, despite our competitive and selfish behaviour we have always intuitively believed we were fundamentally good, but we have never been able to explain this contradictory, conflicted condition, until now. Using first principle-based biology, Jeremy Griffith explains that understanding why the intellect had to defy our cooperative ‘good’ instincts and become psychologically upset, or ‘bad’, could we resolve our species’ psychosis and legitimately return to the nurturing, loving and sensitive state we once lived in. For more about how having this core mystery of human behaviour solved heals and thus transforms the human race, see our Transformation page.

Yes, Helle, the great hope, faith and trust of the human race has always been that one day the explanation of the human condition would finally be found, freeing humans at last from our psychologically troubled angry, egocentric and alienated existence. And, as incredible as it is, through the advances that have been made in science, that is what biologist Jeremy Griffith presents in THE Interview! This explanation is so profound it does bring about the wonderful world we have all dreamed of — see the Transformation page of our website!

Spot on, Morteza. The study of humans’ capacity for so-called ‘good and evil’ is the realm of inquiry where science and religion overlap, so in explaining the human condition religion is demystified and explained. As the Nobel prize-winning physicist Charles H. Townes recognised, science and religion “both represent man’s efforts to understand his universe and must ultimately be dealing with the same substance. As we understand more in each realm, the two must grow together…converge they must.” And this is what Jeremy Griffith’s work does. It reconciles science and religion by bringing biological understanding to religion’s pre-scientific descriptions of our condition (see our FAQs about religion).

Hi Jimdanddy, 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?’, presents the answer to how this understanding allows us to transform our lives. It explains that while it will take a number of generations for the upset within us to be completely healed, 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 — the ‘instinct vs intellect’ explanation of the human condition — 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. FAQs 1.4 to 1.6 are helpful as they talk about the far-reaching practical applications of this understanding.

Once people gain an appreciation for how all-clarifying, all-reconciling and all-liberating this knowledge is its implementation happens quickly as you can see from the ecstatic responses at the top of our homepage! What is so challenging is breaking through the historic fear we understandably have to discussion of the human condition and also the resistance humans have to change (see Video/Freedom Essay 1). So, as with any new scientific breakthrough in history, it needs courageous pioneers to initiate it, and then the universal change will take time to implement, but once this information gets a foothold through enough people developing a deep appreciation and desire to support it our problems will be solved very quickly! As THE Interview explains instead of us being preoccupied with proving ourselves artificially (through seeking power, fame, fortune and glory) 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 (you can read more about how this solves everything in FAQ 1.6). So exciting and relieving is this freedom from the human condition that everyone will want it so it will catch on like wildfire and this is already happening! Apart from the excited responses our homepage shows the rapidly growing appreciation and support for the WTM with outstanding commendations from thought leaders and WTM Centres all over the world! Also, every day more people join our Facebook Group — the group now has over 50,000 members, so there is certainly momentum occurring in the implementation of this transforming knowledge!

Thank you for your query, George. Jeremy Griffith has a deep respect for religious scripture, which he often considers to be a repository of extremely rare denial-free truth, containing all the truth about human life albeit from a pre-science view, which his work simply brings biological understanding to. Ultimately we humans needed to find the scientific explanation for why when the universal ideals are to be loving, cooperative and selfless — noble — 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. What Jeremy is putting forward is that for there to be a fundamental change in our human situation we had to understand the human condition – humans’ capacity for good and evil – from a biological perspective. You might find our FAQs about religion of interest.

Great to have your interest, Samantha. Yes, as is explained in THE Interview, 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 ‘fall’ or them becoming psychologically upset or ‘sinful’. However as Jeremy Griffith stresses, we can now understand, from scientific first principles, that ‘Adam and Eve’ were ‘good’ to search for knowledge, not bad or ‘evil’. And with that redeeming answer to the human condition now found, our psychological upset (so called ‘sinful’ or ‘fallen’ state) can actually subside.
