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.

We appreciate your concerns and want to reassure you Carmel. Certainly there is habituation to overcome and humans do find change very 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 also summarised in FAQ 1.5. We also strongly recommend reading FAQ 1.40 which specifically addresses your question of ‘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?’. It explains that “Even those who were most committed to defensively seeking validation through gaining power and material goods, including those entrenched in positions of power, will quickly realise how empty and obsolete that strategy is now that we have the fully accountable, psychosis-addressing-and-solving, real biological explanation of the human condition that proves our worth at the most fundamental level.”

So, as Jeremy explains in chapter 9.9 of his book FREEDOM, while “this new world for humans, which the World Transformation Movement has been established to facilitate, will 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.” And we are well on our way as you can see from the excitement and relief in our daily ecstatic responses to THE Interview, and in the rapidly growing appreciation and support for Jeremy’s work from thought leaders and WTM Centre founders all over the world, all of which you can read on our homepage.

Thanks for your interest Ty. As our FAQ 3.1 explains the World Transformation Movement (WTM) is a global not-for-profit movement dedicated to transforming the individual, the human race and thus our world through bringing psychologically relieving biological understanding to the underlying problem in all human affairs of the human condition, humans’ extraordinary capacity for what has been referred to as ‘good and evil’. The WTM is represented in cities and regions all around the world by not-for-profit organisations including the World Transformation Movement (Australia), the World Transformation Movement, Inc. (USA), and the WTM Centres founded by people who have developed a deep appreciation of the reconciling understanding of the human condition put forward by the WTM.

The selflessness this understanding liberates is the mechanism that will transform the world (see FAQ 1.4)! Explanation of the human condition does produce a huge paradigm shift in our thinking, so this critical new science does take time to digest, but as explained in 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?’), while the upset within us will take generations to be completely healed, importantly we can be immediately free of its effects. We can at last 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. This is the rapidly rehabilitating and transforming effect of being able to understand the human condition. Also our FAQ 1.40 answers ‘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?’ It is explained there that even those who are most committed to seeking validation through gaining power and wealth, including those entrenched in positions of power, will quickly realise how empty and obsolete that strategy is now that we have the fully accountable, psychosis-addressing-and-solving, biological explanation of the human condition that establishes our worth at the most fundamental level.

Fascinating

With this redeeming explanation of our current divisive behaviour, we can now admit that we have completely loving and cooperative past, and therefore instincts: Rousseau was right when he said ‘nothing is more gentle than man in his natural state’. However, we can now also understand that we have been corrupted as a result of the all-important search for knowledge, and as a result, became ‘brutish’ as Hobbes put it. But again, that ‘brutish’ behaviour is a result of the psychologically upsetting search for knowlege, not ‘selfish genes’ - which we can now admit, was just an excuse for our behaviour until we found this real reason for it.

Good on you Kay! Yes, with Jeremy Griffith’s understanding of the human condition, we can now understand that having had to live with insufferable, unbearably depressing guilt and shame for having destroyed the magic world of our soul is what the human condition really is! But most wonderfully, as Jeremy explains in many of his documents, “However, because this exposure day, or truth day, or honesty day, or transparency day, or revelation day, or come-clean day is actually a day when compassionate understanding comes to the human race, it is actually a day of universal relief from excruciating bondage and suffering.” You might be interested in our FAQs on Religion for more demystification.

    Everybody needs to take their time with this understanding. As Jeremy Griffith explains in FAQ 1.39 ‘How are we supposed to cope with all the heretical truths brought to light by the explanation of the human condition?’, "While the explanation of the human condition allows us to finally understand why every human is equally worthy and good, having the blinds drawn on our situation inevitably reveals a universe of previously denied truths, a litany of heresies. All the lies and delusions we humans have been using to protect ourselves from exposure of our immensely upset, corrupted condition (that has inevitably resulted from humanity’s 2-million-year heroic search for knowledge) while we couldn’t truthfully explain it are suddenly laid bare. The truth reveals the lies, as it must. In fact, as I explain in my definitive book FREEDOM, the arrival of understanding of the human condition brings about honesty day or truth day or exposure day or transparency day or revelation day, the so-called ‘judgment day’ that is referred to many times in the Bible. And while this all-exposing ‘judgment day’ is actually a day of compassionate understanding not condemnation, it is, nevertheless, a day when the extent of our own and our species’ by now extremely psychologically upset condition is suddenly revealed, which will naturally come as a great shock that we will have to adjust to."     As Jeremy goes on to explain in FAQ 1.39, the simple answer to this shock is that, “Once we have investigated these understandings sufficiently to know that they have explained the human condition, we don’t actually need to know any more than that to take up a life where we direct all our thoughts and energies into supporting these understandings, and to the repair of the world that they finally make possible.” You can read more about the Transformation of our lives that this understanding makes possible on our Transformation page.

Thanks for the comment June! For people new to the site, Jeremy explains in THE Interview that 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 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. June, you might be interested in our FAQ’s about religion.

While it takes some time to digest, you will realise that what is unique about Jeremy Griffith’s work is that he has answered the essential question of why, when the universal ideals are to be integrative are we so disintegrative. Our endeavours in philosophy, psychology and biology have failed, until now, to provide a truthful, real, fully accountable, genuinely clarifying explanation. 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 here it – it goes way beyond pointing out the limitations of the ‘genes reproduction excuse’. We suggest FAQ 1.13 ‘Is this original or new?’.

    Thanks for your comment Chris, but that is not correct. The central premise of Jeremy Griffith’s theory, which is that humans' competitive, selfish and aggressive behaviour is psychological in origin, the result of a clash between our instinctive self and emerging conscious mind, is tested against all the premier alternative explanations for human behaviour.     Part 1 of THE Interview begins with an exposition of the premier ‘alternative explanation’, which is that our competitive, selfish and aggressive behaviour is instinctive, the result of our genes need to compete for mating opportunities. But as Jeremy explains, “Surely this idea that we have savage competitive and aggressive, must-reproduce-our-genes instincts cannot be the real reason for our species’ competitive and aggressive behaviour because, after all, words used to describe our human behaviour such as egocentric, arrogant, inspired, depressed, deluded, pessimistic, optimistic, artificial, hateful, cynical, mean, sadistic, immoral, brilliant, guilt-ridden, evil, psychotic, neurotic and alienated, all recognise the involvement of OUR species’ fully conscious thinking mind. They demonstrate that there is a psychological dimension to our behaviour; that we don’t suffer from a genetic-opportunism-driven ‘animal condition’, but a conscious-mind-based, psychologically troubled HUMAN CONDITION.” He goes on to explain that “What’s more, we humans have cooperative, selfless and loving moral instincts, the voice or expression of which we call our conscience—which is the complete opposite of competitive, selfish and aggressive instincts. As Charles Darwin said, ‘The moral sense…affords the best and highest distinction between man and the lower animals’” And beyond, in Part 3 of THE Interview, Jeremy explains how our ancestors did acquire our instinctive cooperative and loving moral conscience.     It is worth noting that THE Interview is only an introductory text. In Jeremy’s definitive book FREEDOM, chapter 2 tests Social Darwinism, Sociobiology, Evolutionary Psychology and Multilevel Selection against the ‘instinct vs intellect’ explanation. Chapter 6 runs through the history of left-wing dishonest biology, and exposes the Self-Domestication Hypothesis. So those are just some of the ‘alternative explanations’ that are ‘tested’. In fact, Professor Scott Churchill, the then Chair of the Psychology Department at the University of Dallas, wrote, ‘I have recommended his [Griffith’s] more recent work to my students precisely for his razor-sharp clarifications of positions of contemporary authors like Edward O. Wilson, Richard Dawkins, and Robert Wright. Griffith manages to summarize book-length expositions of these oftentimes obtuse and varying perspectives on human evolution with clarity and brilliance’ (see www.humancondition.com/scott-churchill).

THE Interview explains that humans’ need for power and domination is not driven by us having ‘savage’ animal instincts but by a psychosis caused by a clash between our intellect and cooperative instincts. So we can now understand that human aggression and anger, even the most extreme expressions of it, is psychological in origin and ultimately a symptom of the human condition. We recommend you watch THE Interview and then read Freedom Essay 29, ‘Can human conflict ever be bought to an end’ and our FAQ 4.2 titled 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? is most helpful.

Thanks for your comment, Inez; yes, what is so significant about the explanation of the human condition is that this understanding defends our so-called ‘dark side’ and explains that despite all appearances to the contrary, all humans are good. And paradoxically, 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, allowing us to end the perpetuation of our destructive behaviour!

Hi Mary, thank you for your interest. And for the benefit of readers of these comments we wanted to clarify that this biological understanding of the human condition is not akin to a religion, however, since the human condition is the study of humans’ capacity for so-called ‘good and evil’, it is therefore the realm of inquiry where science and religion overlap, so in explaining the human condition religion is demystified and explained. Indeed, Jeremy Griffith’s treatise actually reconciles science and religion by bringing biological understanding to pre-scientific concepts, and certainly does give us all the “new look at our existence” we have all desperately sought for the psychological rehabilitation of our species! (See our FAQs about religion.)

Jeremy Griffith’s work explains that our need for materialism and to win are symptoms of a deeper problem and will not fundamentally change until we end the underlying insecurity that is driving this need, which is exactly what Jeremy’s explanation of the human condition in THE Interview does, see FAQ 1.3. With our goodness and worth established through understanding, we will no longer need to be preoccupied with proving our goodness and worth through artificial forms of reinforcement, such as through winning power, fame, fortune and glory, and this ability to finally love ourselves will give us the freedom and generosity to properly help others and to fully enjoy and savour the world we live in. In summary, the eternal battle for humans has been to validate ourselves, establish once and for all that we are fundamentally good and not bad, and it’s that deepest and most important of all battles that has finally been won. Solving the human condition solves all the confusion, frustration and suffering in human life at its source, see 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?’ explains.

Hi Ann, you can watch, listen to or read THE Interview any time as it is freely available at the top of our homepage—HumanCondition.com—and from there scroll down to the ‘WHAT NEXT after watching THE Interview?’ guide!

    Thanks for your thoughts Daryl. There is a lot here to digest; in particular that our competitive behaviour is not driven by survival instincts rather it is a result of a psychologically upsetting clash between our intellect and preestablished instinctive self. This interview explains all humans are born with all-loving, cooperative instincts but now variously suffer from a psychosis due to the human condition caused by the conscious mind’s necessary search for knowledge. What is so important about this is that it finally explains the real reason for why our “driven to do better” behaviour became an unavoidable, indeed necessary, part of human life and by so doing establishes our fundamental goodness. So your suspicion this competitive behaviour is for the sake of the greater good is correct and that is what is unique about Jeremy Griffith’s treatise because he explains WHY! See FAQ 1.3 ‘What is the explanation of the human condition’

We certainly respect people’s feedback Muriel but THE Interview reveals Jeremy Griffith’s treatise gives maternal love the recognition and honour it deserves. It also explains, now the human condition is solved, it is safe to finally admit just how important nurturing is, in fact, we can now admit that nurturing is what made us human — that it was women’s maternal love that gave us our moral soul and created humanity no less (see Part 3 of THE Interview). Also people can read more about the nurturing based ‘love indoctrination’ process that created our moral soul or instinctive self in Freedom Essay 21 and chapter 5 of Jeremy’s definitive book FREEDOM.

Hi Lori, you might find our reply to Bobby B below helpful as it summarises what THE Interview explains which is “sin” is not in our nature rather it is due to a universal psychosis caused by the human condition and it is this condition that has caused our suffering.

What this interview explains Bobby is that all humans are born with all-loving moral instincts (not savage animal instincts) but now variously suffer from a psychosis due to the human condition caused by the conscious mind’s necessary search for knowledge. What is so important about this is that it finally explains the real reason for why people’s "thrive/like the animal instinct and hate” behaviour became an unavoidable, indeed necessary, part of human life and by so doing establishes our fundamental goodness. Part 3 especially evidences this key biological distinction that humans suffer from the conscious-mind-based, psychologically troubled human condition, not the genetic-opportunism-based, animal condition. 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. So this understanding presents a universal solution to people’s human condition so no-one is left behind.

Thank you for your thoughts John. Life under the duress of the human condition has certainly been horrific-beyond-description. THE Interview 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 people, even dictators, who are addicted to having power over others. 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 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?’. Our rehabilitation will be a process but it is all possible, see FAQ 1.40 ‘How can you hope to transform the world? / Won’t the greedy and power hungry simply ignore this?’ and Freedom Essay 29, ‘Can human conflict ever be bought to an end’. We hope you find these links helpful John.

We would like to suggest that until we could solve the human condition all we could do was live in the present and basically accept our contradictory behaviour or our “negative and positive world” as the way it is and bravely get on with life as best we could and “strive to make a better world”. As THE Interview mentions Jeremy Griffith’s treatise explains, from first principle biology, that the nature or meaning of life is integration or order (see FAQ 5.3 ‘What is the integrative meaning of life’) but how could we entertain that when we are so out of order or balance with the world. 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. With that core mystery and problem about human behaviour explained we can see that the “imbalance” or the problems you mention like over population, environmental devastation and human conflict are all symptoms of the human condition – our corrupted, psychologically upset state. At last we have the solution, see FAQ 1.6 ‘Why does understanding of the human condition solve everything’

Thank you for your comment Reverend. We suggest that as you digest the ‘instinct vs intellect’ explanation of the human condition you will come to realise that it really is the start point, or ground zero, of the human condition - this is where the whole tangle started. And if that is true, which we suggest it is, then you would expect that you can extrapolate out from the ‘instinct vs intellect’ clash, and make sense of all aspects of the human condition, which again, we suggest you can. The following is an outline of the subjects that Jeremy has now parsimoniously explained: It explains the human condition, the reason humans are competitive, aggressive and selfish when the ideals are to be cooperative, loving and selfless; it also explains and ends the need for humans’ alienated state; explains and makes possible the end of loneliness and depression; explains and ends the need for egocentricity; explains the origin of war and aggression amongst humans and brings an end to the cause of war and aggression; explains and ends the need for materialism; explains and ends the need for a superficial, artificial, self-distracting way of living; explains biologically how humans acquired our altruistic ‘soul’ and its cooperation-demanding ‘conscience’; describes and explains the psychological act of Resignation; explains the stages of maturation of infancy, childhood, adolescence and adulthood that both humanity and humans individually go through; explains the importance of nurturing in our species’ development and in our individual lives; explains the consequences on children of mothers’ inability to nurture; explains the impact of egocentric fathers on children; explains the Negative Entropy-driven integrative meaning of life; explains why ‘evolution’ is in fact the purposeful process of ordering matter; explains the reasons for the limitations of mechanistic science; relates all the disciplines of the sciences and the humanities; explains in biological terms how humans became fully conscious and why other animals have not; explains why and when humans learnt to walk upright, lost their body hair, developed language, left Africa, began tool use, began hunting and meat-eating; reconciles science with religion; explains religion and renders it fulfilled and obsolete, in the process explaining all manner of religious metaphysics, including the concepts of God, the Trinity, prophets, the Virgin Mary, the resurrection, miracles, Judgment Day, the Battle of Armageddon, the story of Noah’s Ark, after-life, heaven and hell, good and evil; deciphers humanity’s legends and myths; explains and reconciles the left and right wings of politics; ends the reason for prejudice and the cause of inequality between individuals, sexes, ages, generations, races and cultures, in the process reconciling the worlds of men and women, the young and the old, the innocent and the corrupted; explains the pseudo idealism of the New Age, Peace, Green, Feminist, Indigenous, Animal Rights, Multicultural, Politically Correct, Postmodern, Critical Theory, ‘Woke’ Movements; explains sex, heterosexuality, homosexuality, love, beauty, the attraction of youth, romance, rape, envy and lust; explains humour; explains human sensitivity and creativity, especially art and music; explains away the main underlying cause for human sickness; explains away the psychological basis of all psychological disorders; explains near-death experiences; provides the means for the psychological repair of the human race; saves the human race from self-destruction; brings peace to the human situation, and so on.

Thanks for your considered comment, Steven. 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, while 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?’.

Thanks Joan, 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.

While this biological understanding of the human condition really is the universal solution to all the problems we face, it does have a slow start-up phase. It will take some time to break through fixed patterns of thought, as well as the bastions of power in the world, but once this information gets a foothold through enough people like you developing a deep appreciation and desire to support it, the selfless love and energy that will generated will solve our problems very quickly because instead of being preoccupied with seeking salvation, or seeking 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. You might be interested in FAQ 1.40 ‘Aren’t the problems of the world too overwhelming to ever be fixed? / Isn’t it too late to save the world? / 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?’. Fundamentally, having found the good, indeed heroic, reason that we had to defy our instincts means all our defensive, ‘bad’ behaviours (our insecurity, anger, egocentricity and alienation) are now redundant and woefully threadbare compared with the liberation that is now on offer. This is the essence of the transformation that this breakthrough makes available.

Jeremy Griffith doesn’t “dismiss Adam and Eve as a ‘story’” at all; on the contrary, he describes it as an extraordinarily insightful 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! 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.

Jeremy Griffith’s biological ‘instinct vs intellect’ explanation of the human condition finally allows us to truly 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 it 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.

That’s great honesty Luchia. We all come into this with years, if not decades, of having had to prove our worth by whatever means we could, and to a large extent, that meant being competitive and egocentric. And so when the real defence of our behaviour arrives as it now has, we can find it hard to let go of that habituated behaviour. However, what you will read in 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?’, is the answer to how this understanding allows us to transform our lives. In addition, you should read or watch Jeremy’s recent presentation The Shock of Change that understanding the human condition brings, because it describes how to manage the egocentric reaction we can have to this understanding, liberating though it is.
