APRIL — TWO CUTTING-EDGE ESSAYS BY JEREMY GRIFFITH ON THE ‘MARKETING’ OF THE WORLD-SAVING EXPLANATION OF THE HUMAN CONDITION

‘Pocket The Win’ or ‘Support The Information’

World-leading biologist Jeremy Griffith added two incredibly important new essays to the Freedom Essay series. These essays (F. Essays 59 & 60) explain, respectively, why the WTM website and its human-race-transforming content must NOT be toned down, and why those who can ‘hear’ this information have a critical responsibility to support it, not misappropriate its insights for themselves—as these drawings by Jeremy depict! You can access these essays by clicking on the links below:

Essays 59 & 60) explain, respectively, why the WTM website and its human-race-transforming content must NOT be toned down, and why those who can ‘hear’ this information have a critical responsibility to support it, not misappropriate its insights for themselves—as these drawings by Jeremy depict! You can access these essays by clicking on the links below:

Freedom Essay 59: Shouldn’t the WTM’s website be toned down, all the ‘hyperbole’ removed and the ‘congested’, ‘loud’ and ‘aggressive’ layout replaced with a gentler, more welcoming format?

Freedom Essay 60: The World-Destroying Crime Of ‘Ships At Sea’ ‘Pocketing The Win’.

JANUARY — WATCH JEREMY GRIFFITH EXPOSE AND DESTROY THE UNDERPINNING ARGUMENT OF LEFT-WING POLITICS

Jeremy presenting false savage-instincts excuse

Freedom Essay 14: The false ‘savage instincts’ excuse leads to the extinction of humans has been recast as a powerful video. In this critically important presentation, biologist Jeremy Griffith explains how the false ‘savage instincts’ excuse is used as the basis of the left-wing’s political philosophy that humanity must have ‘good’ or ‘correct’ rules of behaviour dogmatically imposed upon it. It’s been, he says, an extremely sinister and dangerous approach because it stifled the freedom of expression needed to search for knowledge, ultimately self-knowledge, the all-redeeming and transforming understanding of our good-and-evil-conflicted human condition.

NOVEMBER — MORE WTM CENTRES OPEN INTERNATIONALLY!

Gerry St Onge launches USA east coast WTM Centre

OCTOBER — A MUST-WATCH, SUPER-HELPFUL NEW OPENING VIDEO FOR OUR FREEDOM ESSAY SERIES GOES LIVE!

Jeremy Griffith presenting Video/F. Essay 1

In October 2018 the important new opening video to our Freedom Essay series, Video/ F. Essay 1: Your block to the most wonderful of all gifts, went live. This video/essay quickly describes and explains how to overcome the ‘deaf effect’ difficulty of accessing this fabulous world-saving and life-transforming understanding of the human condition that the whole human race has lived in hope, faith and trust would one day be found.

Freedom Essay 56: Why there have been ferocious attacks on the WTM now provides a more complete explanation for why these attacks occur.

And revisions have also been made to the following Freedom Essays:

July — Four extraordinary ‘game-changing’ new videos from Jeremy Griffith go live

Four extraordinary ‘game-changing’ new videos from Jeremy Griffith go live

In July 2018 four extraordinary new presentations by Jeremy Griffith have been added to the Video Series at the top of the WTM homepage: Video/F. Essay 4: The ‘instinct vs intellect’ treatise is obvious — short, and Video/F. Essay 10: What exactly is the human condition?, and Video/F. Essay 11: The difficulty of reading FREEDOM and the solution, and that ‘solution’ is in F. Essay 13: The WTM Deaf Effect Course, which is designed to help people overcome the ‘deaf effect’ difficulty of reading about the human condition.

Video/F. Essay 4 has been described as ‘such an important addition to the WTM website that it could be the game-changer for the whole project of bringing these crucial insights to the world’. Its special value is that it makes clear that we humans do have a cooperative and loving ancestry, and therefore how guilt-ridden we have been for corrupting that state, which is an insight that makes all of human behaviour suddenly understandable.

These new presentations now become part of the Freedom Essay series along with other significant additions including F. Essay 14: ‘Savage instincts’ excuse leads to human extinction, and F. Essays 57 and 58: The Magnificence of the Transformed State.

We are also thrilled to announce that the Freedom Essays have been recorded as podcasts! Narrated by Tim Macartney-Snape AM OAM, a Founding Director and Patron of the World Transformation Movement, and the first Australian to climb Mt Everest, the podcasts can be listened to, or downloaded as an audio file, by clicking on the ‘listen’ icon at the top of each essay.

If you are not currently subscribed to the series, you can subscribe here — and remember, you can access the entire Freedom Essay series on the homepage.

October — New Video: Saving Western civilisation from the religion of left wing dogma

Jeremy Griffith presenting in studio Jeremy Griffith and WTM members in studio

This is a 2-part presentation. In Part 1 Jeremy Griffith is able to use his understanding of the human condition to finally expose what exactly it is that is so incredibly dangerous about the politically correct culture that is presently threatening to take over the world.

Following this complete demolition of the politically correct movements’ ‘false start’ to a cooperative and loving, ideal, ‘correct’ world, Jeremy then, in Part 2, explains how understanding of the human condition brings the REAL start to a transformed world through the psychological redemption, reconciliation and rehabilitation of the human race.

This all-exciting explanation in Part 2 of how a great tsunami of love is going to catch on and sweep the world is a culmination of the introduction to the human-condition-resolved transformed life in Freedom Essay 15, and ‘How to become Transformed’ in Freedom Essay 33.

Let’s Go! Cover

Prior to July 2018, this booklet consisted of the transcripts of what were then the World Transformation Movement’s (WTM) introductory video series about the human condition, its dreamed-of resolution and the resulting world-saving transformation of the human race. This video series, which appears at the top of the WTM’s homepage at www.HumanCondition.com, was substantially revised in July 2018, and again in October 2018, to include new, critically important presentations by Jeremy Griffith (world-leading biologist, founder of the WTM, and author of the 2016 book FREEDOM: The End Of The Human Condition). This new introductory series constitutes the first 14 essays of the Freedom Essay series. These first 14 Freedom Essays therefore replace and supersede Let’s Go!

July — Publicity for FREEDOM

FREEDOM introduces a completely new paradigm of understanding, so it has to be expected that there is a great deal to consider and that it will take time for a meaningful appreciation of it to emerge. Even so, guest articles by Jeremy Griffith have already appeared in important publications, such as an article in The Irish Times titled ‘Adam And Eve Without The Guilt: Explaining Our Battle Between Instinct And Intellect’, which was published on 30 May 2016, and an article in the prestigious London-based i-MAGAZINE, which appeared in its July-December 2016 edition.

July to September — IS IT TO BE Terminal Alienation or Transformation For The Human Race? was promoted to the scientific community

Is It To Be Terminal Alienation Or Transformation by Jeremy Griffith

Since FREEDOM: The End Of The Human Condition is about the biology of human behaviour, the publisher’s first responsibility was to promote it within the scientific community. This was done in 2014 by publishing the book with a title that emphasised the serious plight of humanity, which science is ultimately responsible for solving—that title being IS IT TO BE Terminal Alienation or Transformation For The Human Race?. From July to September 2014 over 900 copies of IS IT TO BE were sent to leading scientific institutions, scientists and science commentators throughout the English-speaking world to introduce them to these world-saving understandings.

In February 2015, FREEDOM: The End Of The Human Condition (in the form of IS IT TO BE, which Professor Harry Prosen has described as ‘the book that saves the world’) was first made available to the public on our WTM website.

2013

An indescribably special year for the WTM!!

2013 was an indescribably special year for the WTM, and, in fact, for the whole world. We completed the design of our wonderful website, we launched our social media and Jeremy finished writing his forthcoming summa masterpiece, FREEDOM: The End Of The Human Condition. (Note, as explained above, this first version of the book was titled IS IT TO BE Terminal Alienation or Transformation for the Human Race?.) This book has developed into the most magnificent presentation of these world-saving insights into the human condition, and, as well, is an enthralling documentation of humanity’s journey leading up to this point in time where a future free of the human condition can finally take place.

To mark the significance of this year, and in celebration of the fabulous future for humanity that is now possible, Jeremy created a fabulous sun mandala of harmony and happiness from shells that he has collected over a six month period from one small beach in Sydney. While cockle shells are found on sandy sheltered beaches throughout the world, Jeremy has never seen these pure gold-coloured ones on any other beach. Oxide-stained yellowish cockle shells are usually a rusty brownish-yellow colour, but on this particular beach some are a pure gold colour. Jeremy found the large white scallop on the same beach, and he’s never seen a large white one like this before or since. The white star limpet shells can be found on pretty well any beach. WTM Founding Members Tony Gowing and James West built and gilded the frame. If you look closely you can see the WTM initials made from shells at the top of the frame. The whole picture is positively bursting with excitement!

The WTM — ‘Out and About’!

In 2013 we launched the World Transformation Movement on Social Media with an incredible response — the WTM Facebook page received phenomenal support with over 10,000 Likes in its first 3 months! Our YouTube channel had a facelift and is very popular with hundreds of subscribers and thousands of videos being watched. Our Pinterest page is a vibrant and fascinating collection of photographs, drawings, quotes and videos all representing important aspects of this human-condition-solving and therefore world-saving information. And our Twitter feed is regularly tweeting interesting links to articles, drawings and videos, as well as quotes from the great thinkers of our time including Laurens van der Post, Søren Kierkegaard, Olive Schreiner and of course Jeremy Griffith.

With statistics showing that nearly one in four people worldwide will use social networks in 2013, this is a marvellous platform to get these understandings to a wider audience, and so is another significant step toward a human-condition-free world.

Major overhaul of the WTM website uploaded

In January 2013, the results of a major overhaul of our website were uploaded, including a fresh design for our homepage and a new site search facility. Also, Freedom: Expanded was split into Book 1: The Biology, which presents the dreamed-of biological explanation of the human condition that ends our species’ underlying psychosis, and Book 2: The Transformation, which describes the fabulous transformation of the human race that results from finding the psychologically rehabilitating explanation of the human condition. Further additions by Jeremy Griffith, and edits by Fiona Cullen-Ward were added throughout both books. Designed to be the expanded, comprehensive account of Jeremy’s insights, we feel that these changes finally create the necessary framework to enable Jeremy to add new and exciting insights as he demystifies more and more of human life with his world-saving understandings, so this is a very great milestone for this project!

2012

The WTM launches a blog!

December 2012 saw the launch of the WTM Blog, which is the place to go to stay updated on the progress of the all-important work of the WTM, as well as to share the everyday application of this information.

Court of Appeal vindicates biologist Jeremy Griffith’s treatise on the origins of the human condition

Full-page advertisement in The Australian newspaper containing Tim Macartney-Snapes's commentary on the WTM's momentous ruling

On 7 October 2010, at the culmination of the biggest defamation case in Australia’s history, the NSW Court of Appeal unanimously overturned an earlier Supreme Court finding concerning a defamatory 1995 Four Corners program about the WORLD TRANSFORMATION MOVEMENT. In a momentous judgment for our project, for science and for the future of the human race, the Court of Appeal recognised the unorthodox nature of Jeremy Griffith’s explanation of the origins and amelioration of the human condition, finding that the lower Court did ‘not adequately consider’ ‘the nature and scale of its subject matter’, in particular ‘that the work was a grand narrative explanation from a holistic approach, involving teleological elements’.

SMH Publishes Apology to FHA/WTM

On 6 June 2009, the Herald published the following apology to the FHA:

‘On 22 April 1995, the Sydney Morning Herald published an article by Reverend Doctor David Millikan which implied that the Foundation for Humanity’s Adulthood placed demands on its members which tore families apart. The Herald withdraws such inference and apologises to the Foundation for the harm caused by the publication.’

This apology was a great milestone in the FHA’s efforts to defy and defeat a 20-year campaign of persecution that has been waged against the critically important understanding of the human condition that the FHA was established to promote and defend.

The ABA: ‘Appropriate for ABC to apologise’

In July 1998, the ABA took the unprecedented step of advising the ABC it would be appropriate to apologise to the FHA in light of the ABA ruling. Despite not exercising its right to challenge the ruling, the ABC refused to apologise. As a result the FHA was left with no option other than to consider taking defamation action against the ABC and Fairfax.

Professor Charles Birch launches the FHA’s website

World leading biologist Professor Charles Birch, a winner of the Templeton Prize who has been described as ‘Australia’s leading thinker on the issue of science and God’, launched the FHA’s website at the Australian Museum in Sydney in October 1998 (now known as the WTM website). Professor Birch opened his address saying, ‘The FHA has had a positive and creative influence on many.’

Professor Charles Birch says the ABC should ‘apologise for its mistake’

Professor Birch wrote to the ABA saying, ‘I consider it would be the only right thing for the ABC to admit the bias of the Four Corners program and to apologise for its mistake.’

Ruling by ABA for breach of Code

In February 1998, the ABA handed down a ruling which found Four Corners ‘inaccurate, unbalanced and partial’. The ‘ABA concluded that the program was not balanced in its presentation of the experience of parents of Foundation members. The ABA also concluded that the program was inaccurate in its representation of Mr Griffith and inaccurate and lacked balance in its representation of Mr Tim Macartney-Snape.’

ABC-TV Four Corners approach the FHA

In April 1995, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) broadcast the defamatory Four Corners program ‘Prophet of Oz’ concerning the FHA, Jeremy Griffith and Tim Macartney-Snape. The program was produced by Reverend Dr David Millikan of the Uniting Church, who also wrote a full-page article about the FHA in the Sydney Morning Herald titled ‘Prophet of the Posh’.

The FHA became aware of the defamatory nature of the program prior to it going to air and sent more than a dozen substantial letters of complaint and appeal to the ABC prior to the broadcast including a half-page press advertisement ‘open letter’ in The Australian newspaper to ABC managing director, Mr Brian Johns. Parents of university students who were interested in the FHA’s ideas also sent a joint letter of complaint to Brian Johns.

Following Four Corners, the FHA made numerous complaints, appeals and protests to the ABC — all to no avail. Having been dismissed by the ABC, the FHA distributed thousands of publications and held open days and public lectures to try and overcome the negative effects of the program.

Sir Laurens is one of the great inspirations for Jeremy’s work and after their time together Sir Laurens wrote to Jeremy saying, ‘Ingaret and I were very moved by your letter of 2nd May, the thought of us which you carried to Australia and gratitude for the visit for which the two of you took time off in a very busy schedule in England...I would hope you will always know how we value the examples you set and the work you are doing in Australia.’

Professor Charles Birch addresses FHA Open Day

Emeritus Professor of Biology Charles Birch addressed a large gathering of FHA members, interested parties, parents and friends at the FHA’s Open Day in Sydney. Professor Birch said that there were ‘two huge themes’ in Jeremy Griffith’s books: the first being ‘the nature of the world’, and the second being ‘the nature of human nature’. He went on to explain that ‘science can’t deal with subjectivity’, and that subjectivity ‘is something that is very difficult to get your teeth into and yet it is the most important thing in the world’.

The FHA is incorporated

In early 1990 the CFHA changed its name to the Foundation for Humanity’s Adulthood (FHA).

At the initiative of a number of Sydney lawyers the FHA — now called the WTM — was incorporated in May 1990 as a company limited by guarantee in order to better develop and promote understanding of the human condition, and in particular the work of Jeremy Griffith. Significantly, three of the FHA/WTM’s founding directors, Jeremy, Tim Macartney-Snape and Chris Stephen, together with Jeremy’s brother Simon Griffith (appointed as a director in 1992), all attended Geelong Grammar School. The incorporation of the FHA/WTM paved the way for it to acquire an Authority to Fundraise for Charitable Purposes in 1991.
