My name is Heather Mackintosh and I’m very happy to be supporting the Wellington WTM Centre in New Zealand, founded by my son Simon.

I first heard about Jeremy’s information from my son Simon, who left New Zealand to join the WTM in Sydney in 1999. Not long after this, I also moved to Sydney to live with my partner. Simon encouraged me to read Beyond The Human Condition, Jeremy’s second book. While the story of Adam Stork appears straight forward, the language is new and confronting, and I read it twice before the ideas seemed obvious and compelling. Once you understand Jeremy’s explanation of the human condition, there is no going back.

I was incredibly fortunate in having my son, followed by many members of the WTM, who are there to support and encourage these ideas, to talk at length with me about Jeremy’s ground-breaking revelations of ‘Why we are the way we are’, and the question of ‘Are we good or are we evil?’ Up until that point, those questions were unanswerable for me.

Jeremy’s third book, A Species In Denial, I found to be compelling reading. I was familiar with the language and the ideas by this stage, and experienced increasing hope for humans and the possibility of an end to our psychosis.

With four children, and now six grandchildren, the mainstream explanation of the behavioural difficulties and struggles of adolescence and puberty (where it is explained as purely hormonal) never sat comfortably with me. Jeremy’s explanation of Resignation, however, did. This compelled me to continue reading his books and to gain understanding of the explanation and distinction between our instincts and our intellect, the difference between our gene-based and nerve-based systems and the way they process information. These two systems are often referred to as our conscience and conscious state, which Jeremy’s Adam Stork analogy beautifully explains.

However, Jeremy’s definitive presentation of the explanation of the human condition in his book FREEDOM, which I am now in the process of reading, I see as being Jeremy’s work of a lifetime, a gift to mankind, essential reading for every human in the world, from a man ahead of his time. Thanks to Jeremy, I can now view humans through an entirely different lens.
