Freedom Essay 17
Thought Leader and Centre Founder Commendations
The dark night sky of our human-condition-stricken world is lighting up with joy and excitement as Jeremy Griffith’s breakthrough understanding of the human condition generates amazing commendations from an impressive array of scholars, social leaders, and WTM Centre founders from all over the world!
WTM Centres around the world
As explained in Video/Freedom Essay 1 at the top of the WTM’s website, the human condition has been the most difficult of all subjects for humans to face, but now that it has at last been explained and made safe to confront, an absolutely fabulous new world where humans can live free of the human condition opens up.
Certainly, as the Nobel Prize-winning playwright George Bernard Shaw said, ‘All great truths begin as blasphemies’, and since there is no greater ‘blasphemy’, or change of a way of thinking, than living with the previously unconfrontable issue of the human condition, it is not surprising that appreciation and support for this greatest of all breakthroughs was going to take time.
Predictably then, this project has had to overcome all manner of scepticism and resistance; but recognition is starting to emerge from thought leaders who have touted it as ‘the understanding that ends all prejudices, like racism, forever’; as providing the ‘true liberation of women and the reconciliation of the sexes’; and being nothing less than ‘The book we have been waiting for, it is the book that saves the world!’. In addition, since the original WTM Centre in Sydney was established in 1983, many, many other WTM Centres have begun to open around the world, and their numbers have been multiplying almost exponentially every year.
When the philosopher Teilhard de Chardin said that ‘The Truth has to only appear once…for it to be impossible for anything ever to prevent it from spreading universally and setting everything ablaze’, he was anticipating the ‘tipping point’ the WTM has now reached where its fabulous, dreamed-of, human-race-transforming biological ‘Truth’ about the human condition is ‘spreading universally and setting everything ablaze’!

“This explanation brings about the true liberation of women and the reconciliation of the sexes.”
Dr Anna Fitzgerald, molecular biologist, co-founded the WTM Auckland Centre, and became a Director of World Transformation Movement, Inc. in 2019
“This book is astonishing, its paradigm shifting. It has to be the most important book ever written.”
Tim Macartney-Snape, biologist, world-renowned mountaineer & twice-honoured Order of Australia recipient, talking about FREEDOM

Praise From Thought Leaders About Jeremy Griffith’s Treatise
‘Professor Hawking [responding through his secretary because he suffered from motor neurone disease] is most interested in your impressive proposal.’
(Response to ‘The Human Condition Documentary Proposal’)
‘I think 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 end game where we appear to have lost the race between self-destruction and self-understanding — the race to find the psychologically relieving explanation of our ‘good and evil’-stricken human condition.
WELL, ASTONISHING AS IT IS, THIS BOOK BY AUSTRALIAN BIOLOGIST JEREMY GRIFFITH PRESENTS THE 11TH HOUR BREAKTHROUGH BIOLOGICAL EXPLANATION OF THE HUMAN CONDITION NECESSARY FOR THE PSYCHOLOGICAL REHABILITATION AND TRANSFORMATION OF OUR SPECIES!
What this book of books, in fact this greatest of all books, does is take humanity from a state of bewilderment about the nature of human behavior and existence to a state of profound understanding of our lives — understanding that drains away all the pain, suffering, confusion and conflict from the world. This is the book we have been waiting for, it is THE BOOK THAT SAVES THE WORLD!’ and ‘FREEDOM is the book that saves the world…cometh the hour, cometh the man.’
PROFESSOR HARRY PROSEN, former President of the Canadian Psychiatric Association, and former Chair, Psychiatry Department, Medical College of Wisconsin
(Response to ‘FREEDOM: The End Of The Human Condition’; and an extract from his Introduction to ‘FREEDOM’)
‘Nothing Dr. Prosen has said about the immense importance of this book is an exaggeration. This is the book all humans need to read for our collective wellbeing.’ and ‘I have recommended his 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.’
‘The sequence of discussion in FREEDOM is so logical and sensible, providing the necessary breakthrough in the critical issue of needing to understand ourselves.’
PROFESSOR DAVID CHIVERS, University of Cambridge anthropologist and former President of the Primate Society of Great Britain
(Response to ‘FREEDOM: The End Of The Human Condition’)
‘This book is actually written from a position outside of the human condition. It is just amazing; Griffith walks freely through all the psychosis of our troubled human condition and with such freedom is able to explain everything about us!’ and ‘FIX THE WORLD is an island of sanity in a sea of madness.’
TIM MACARTNEY-SNAPE, biologist, mountaineer and twice-honoured Order of Australia recipient
(Response to ‘FREEDOM: The End Of The Human Condition’)
‘FREEDOM is a really significant contribution to science, providing fundamental answers’, and ‘THE Interview deserves spreading to the largest number of people possible.’
(Response to ‘FREEDOM: The End Of The Human Condition’ & ‘THE Interview’)
“I consider FREEDOM by Jeremy Griffith to be the rarest gift on the planet. Jeremy tells the truth and is our guide to ending the human condition. In my assessment, his books are next only to the Bible, they truly make sense and are absolutely thrilling, liberating and transformative. I have given a copy of FREEDOM to dozens of my friends and colleagues, including at the Ethiopian National Dialogue Commission who ended up buying and recommending the book to many. What else should be disseminated more than good news such as this? It does not preach a new religion; it does not degrade your colour, creed or class; it embraces humanity as they are; it ignites imagination; it empowers you to release your own potential to be kind to yourself, to your loved ones and to the world. It reinforces your religion, makes you accept yourself, and fosters respect for the rest of humanity! Most importantly, it makes sense of and ends the moral corruption we are all facing across the world today. I am glad to cite the works in my research and presentations. I just recommended that some of my PhD students keep the books as self-help readings in their bags and on their shelves wherever they go.”
PROFESSOR YONAS ADAYE ADETO, Associate Professor of Peace Studies, Addis Ababa University & Commissioner, the Ethiopian National Dialogue Commission
(Response to ‘FREEDOM: The End Of The Human Condition’)
‘I am stunned & honored to have lived to see the coming of “Darwin II”. I say this because after Darwin’s theory of Natural Selection explained the variety of life, Jeremy Griffith has gone on to solve the other four main questions science had to answer about our world and place in it. They are: 1) the dilemma of the human condition, which his instinct vs intellect explanation in chapter 3 of his main, seminal book FREEDOM finally solves; 2) how we humans became fully conscious when other species haven’t, which he answers in chapter 7; 3) the origins of humans’ unique moral nature, which he answers in chapter 5, which it turns out American philosopher John Fiske had already explained in 1874 but mechanistic science had ignored; and 4) the truth of the Integrative Meaning of existence (which we have personified as ‘God’), in chapter 4, which only a rare few thinkers in history have been able to recognize. And having been able to solve those primary issues he has, in chapter 8, using first principle and fully accountable biological explanations been able to resolve all the secondary problems like: the polarized state of politics; the rift between men and women; the schism between science and religion; the conflict between individuals and between races (thus ending aggression and war at its source); and, above all, bring an end to the threat of terminal psychosis and our species’ extinction! A truly phenomenal, beyond description, scientific achievement!’
(Response to ‘FREEDOM: The End Of The Human Condition’)
‘If, after the explanation [by Jeremy Griffith], people at home think, I’ve never heard of it, it’s fantastic, what a beautiful new insight into the human status quo, condition, then of course you can look it up yourself and find it, and go further into it. That’s very much the intention…Because it also helped to open my eyes. Because I think when professors start talking about a lot of these completely complex matters, which they mostly do it among colleagues, we understand very little of it. You think, ‘When will you come up with a brilliant formula, so that we can all understand it?’…About the complexity of being human; and in particular, the brain…The brain somehow must have had a function too. And the problem was that the instinct and the conscious mind split apart from each other and suddenly became adversaries. And Jeremy Griffith explains this…Yes [Jeremy Griffith makes it crystal clear]. If you understand that instinct and your consciousness don’t have to be enemies at all…bringing your lost self back to and uniting with your actual self.’
In the interview, an extract from Jeremy Griffith’s Video/Freedom Essay 3 was played, after which the interviewer observed that Pierre was, and he agreed, ‘looking completely in awe’ at Jeremy.
PIERRE BOKMA, an Emmy Award-winner who is regarded as ‘one of the Netherlands’ greatest actors’
(Interview about Jeremy Griffith’s explanation of the human condition on Summer Guests [Zomergasten], the Dutch public broadcaster VPRO’s prestigious annual feature program; watch and read excerpts from the interview here)
‘As a therapist this is a simply brilliant explanation.’
‘Living without this understanding is like living back in the stone age, that’s how massive the change it brings is!’ and ‘I think FREEDOM is best described as a manual to life which really sits well for me because it’s the ultimate brain food for humans. Thinking of Isaiah’s summary of our predicament (Jeremy quotes in par. 278 of FREEDOM) that is stated as “justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach us. We look for light, but all is darkness; for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows. Like the blind we grope along the wall, feeling our way like men without eyes… Truth is nowhere to be found”. The information in FREEDOM really does resolve our psychologically troubled human condition. Life went from feeling bewildering and confusing to something that was clearly transparent – I am now able to understand and see through all the behavior around me.’
(Responses to ‘THE Interview’ and ‘FREEDOM: The End Of The Human Condition’)
‘The line of reasoning in Beyond the Human Condition [1991] is exactly continuous…[Jeremy Griffith] accurately accounts for data from the fossil record, from the behavioral ecology of living primates (especially great ape behavior), and from comparative anatomy…its scholarly value is comparable to several of the most celebrated publications in biology.’
PROFESSOR WALTER HARTWIG, anthropologist and former Chair of Department of Basic Sciences, College of Osteopathic Medicine, Touro University, California
(Expert Report, 2007)
‘Frankly, I am ‘blown away’ as the saying goes…The ground-breaking significance of this work is tremendous.’
(Response to ‘Free: The End of the Human Condition’)
‘a superb book…[that] brings out the truth of a new and wider frontier for humankind, a forward view of a world of humans no longer in naked competition amongst ourselves.’
(Response to ‘The Human Condition Documentary Proposal’)
‘The ideas you present are provocative, and many of them strike me as being spot-on…The issues you discuss are critical, and I’m heartened that you are surfacing them and grappling with them intelligently.’
(Response to ‘Free: The End of the Human Condition’)
‘Griffith makes the right emphasis when he identifies the order of the universe and its cosmic and biological evolution as the issue that brings science and religion together…he gives us a genuinely original and inspiring way of understanding ourselves and our place in the universe. His vision is one I embrace with enthusiasm and commend to all those who are searching for meaning.’
PROFESSOR CHARLES BIRCH, Templeton Prize winner and Professor of Biology, University of Sydney
(Response to ‘Beyond The Human Condition’)
‘Was Jeremy Griffith struck by lightning on the road to Damascus. Such was my cynicism. Then whack! Wham! I was increasingly impressed and then converted by his erudite explanation for society’s competitive and self-destructive behaviour.’
MACUSHLA O’LOAN, Executive Woman’s Report magazine, Australia
(Response to ‘Free: The End of the Human Condition’)
‘I believe you are on to getting answers to much that has puzzled and bewildered humanity for a long time.’
DR IAN PLAYER, South African conservationist, naturalist and philosopher
(Response to ‘A Species In Denial’)
‘The insights and ideas are fascinating and pertinent and must be developed and disseminated.’
‘This man has broken the great silence, defeated our denial, got the truth up, woken us from a great trance.’
‘Beware the ‘deaf effect’ — your mind will initially resist the issue of our corrupted condition and so find it hard to take in or hear what’s being said, but if you’re patient you’ll find its redeeming insight pure relief.’
‘John Lennon pleaded “just give me some truth”, well this site finally gives us all the truth!’
‘FREEDOM is the most profound book since the Bible, now with the redeeming truth about us humans.’
‘Death by Dogma is brilliant clarification.’
‘We were given a computer brain, but no program for it; but Aha, Griffith has found it, made sense of our lives!’
‘This just goes deeper & deeper in explaining us, like dawn devouring darkness, amazing!’
‘Agree, this is not another deluded, pseudo idealistic, bandaid, false start to a better world, but the human-condition-resolved real solution.’
‘Freedom indeed! What we have here is the second coming of innocence who exposes us but sets us free!’
‘As prophesised, King Arthur has returned to save us (mentioned in par.1036 F)’
‘We all need to go back to school & learn this truthful explanation of life.’
‘Join in our jubilation, your magic reunites, all men become brothers, all good all bad, be embraced millions! This kiss [of understanding] for the whole world’ – From Beethoven’s 9th Symphony, see paragraph 1049 of FREEDOM!
‘The Book of Jeremy. A red pill moment. Definitely the last book I’ll ever need to read.’
‘I don’t care what question you have, this book will answer it.’
‘If Plato and Aristotle were alive and read Griffith, they would die happy men.’
‘We don’t have to put up with “Not Knowing” anymore.’
‘tears stream down my face, so overcome have I been by this book. It is the greatest book on the planet, no wait, in the universe. In fact it is the greatest anything in the universe.’
‘Here is the breakthrough biological explanation that PROVES we are ALL very, very good.’
‘Fuck I love the truth and my brothers and sisters from WTM [FIX THE WORLD].’
‘This, to me, is the most significant thing I have ever stumbled across. If it doesn’t hit you right away—it will down the road.’

‘I can’t speak highly enough of the insight that Jeremy Griffith has discovered. Truly it unlocks all apparent paradoxes of the human experience…you will find your mind bent wide open.’
‘Possibly the greatest and most transformative discovery made by science in recent times.’
‘Nothing comes close to griffiths perfect explanation...I’ve never read anything like it. An absolute fantastic read that actually leaves you with hope and not hopelessness.’
‘It is incredibly interesting on many, many levels.’
‘The Truth is Here—I would just like to get this out there.’
‘This new dimension of meaning and explanation that we can access thanks to the solidarity of Jeremy Griffith’s complete package of scientific insight, is simply breathtaking.’
‘the sublime brilliance of its central thesis…This book [FREEDOM] is a towering achievement in its insight and implications for all of humanity…Reading FREEDOM is, after thousands of years of tormented human history, like finally busting out of the jail of human confusion and alienation. A stunning achievement.’
