Hi, my name is Lucas. I’m 23 years old and I’m happy to open a World Transformation Movement Centre in Nice, France.

I was born near Paris and grew up in the area of Nice. I studied a bachelor’s degree in Management of Science and Technologies, doing one year in Mexico and afterwards travelling to Canada.

I stumbled across the WTM’s information while I was in Canada. It looked really improbable; I was like, “Oh, this is another fake thing I’m not even believing in”, but I just want to prove it’s wrong again, just so I know. So I downloaded the free version of the book [FREEDOM: The End Of The Human Condition] on my kindle and started reading it. And the more I was reading, the more it was obvious that he [biologist Jeremy Griffith] was talking about something totally different from anyone else and everything made sense. And after that I read a few more books, and I realised “No, this is the one!” All the information started growing on me and I started seeing the world through the information, and understanding things and people around me for the first time, the way they are. It’s totally healed my depression, I can sleep at night, I don’t feel stressed or I don’t feel guilty, I don’t have any shame. It totally rewired my understanding of the world.

So this is why I think that this book FREEDOM: The End Of The Human Condition is the only thing we need for humanity to really step forward and carry on its journey and go to ‘enlightenment’—an ‘enlightened’ mind meaning an understanding of ourselves and understanding of the world around us. Because we’ve just understood bits around us, but we’ve never understood the core question of “Who are we as a species? What are our origins? What’s the meaning of life? What are we supposed to do with our lives?” And those questions have been bothering me all my life and now I have the answers to it! Now I know what to do. I know that we need to support this information. And that’s why I want to start translating some of the Freedom Essays and eventually the book [FREEDOM] in French.

So, yeah, it’s going to take some time but there’s a growing community around it and it’s amazing to see everyone getting involved and taking part in the project, so I just want to be part of it and open a Centre myself and reach as many people as I can.

Before I encountered the information I was actually really stuck in myself and I wasn’t even trying to look at the world anymore. I wasn’t watching the news, and I was pretty concerned just about my own human condition and trying to hide it from people, trying not to show I was depressed, not looking at people, taking distance from my family, travelling to another country—and always being on the run, always changing groups of friends and changing work. I was just trying to wrestle with and understand what was going on my head and that’s when I found information and that was really timely, because I was really starting to wonder whether I was just going mad; I was starting to ask people. Thankfully it seems not! And now I feel healed. I feel I understand myself. I understand my life and I can understand other people’s lives. I can understand my family, the people I grew up with or even people I just met. I can tell what they are trying to do. The strategies they use, how they cope with life.

It’s pretty exciting. It’s a wonderful tool, but it’s more than a tool. It’s not just a way to understand and ‘screw around’ people, it’s a way to really understand people to the core and be able to love and appreciate them for who they are and for what they are doing—and having a lot of empathy. This is really giving us the empathy. The intellect has finally the ability to work with the soul. They join hands in this, in our purpose to love each other and to be part of a greater family, a greater group.

What I really enjoy about this information is that you can really prove it. It explains so many things that couldn’t be explained before. It explains why human infancy is so long, why we remain in infancy [childhood] for almost 13 years and we stay so vulnerable to the world. Why we lost all our natural abilities, including a lot of advantages that we had in nature, like, for example, the projecting canines to defend ourself; a bigger body, and a stronger body, for males who would usually compete amongst each other in most primate [species]. So ‘all of us’ is explained in the book and really there’s no denying it. It’s the only thing that makes sense—the explanation that we used to have cooperative behaviour and that before the intellect came along we were just all cooperative and loving and altruistic to each other. This is the only way that explains who we are now and it can be proven from fossils. It can be proven by our body [anatomy] today. It’s the only thing that makes sense. And we also see it in the bonobo species. So that’s really just some of the scientific detail, but it’s really the cornerstone because it proves the thesis. [Our species’ cooperative heritage is explained in Freedom Essay 2: The false savage instincts excuse, Freedom Essay 21: How did we humans acquire our all-loving, unconditionally selfless moral conscience?, and Freedom Essay 22: Fossil discoveries evidence our nurtured origins.]

So we can obviously see in our generation, but in our time in general, that the psychosis is everywhere amongst people. It’s hard to deny that there’s something going on with humans and that we haven’t been able to address it so far: all the problems that we have of inequalities, racism, the war between the sexes; just people ignoring each other, not looking at each other in the eyes, because they don’t want you to see their human condition, and they are afraid of seeing yours. And just people avoiding each other. If you’re in a big city it feels like you’re alone. And it’s been going on for too long and now that we have the answer, really the only responsible thing to do is to read it and confront it. We are going to have to be responsible and be able to face the truth because we have ego [consciousness] and the ego is made to understand the truth, and that’s why we’re human; we are human to understand the truth, and to love also, and to understand that this [psychosis] will all end as soon as we all understand this [explanation of the human condition], the psychosis is going to come to an end and we’re going to live in a new world, in a new era really. We don’t know exactly how it’s going to be but it’s going to be full of love and full of understanding. It’s going to be beautiful and that’s what matters—for us and for the generations to come, it’s not only about us. A lot of happy prospects! A lot of good news coming up!
