Welcome to the World Transformation Movement (WTM). My name is Jeremy Griffith. I’m an
Australian biologist. How, you may well ask, is the World Transformation
Movement going to transform your life, and not only your life but the lives of every
human on Earth–and in so doing transform the world? The answer is by solving the underlying,
real, core problem in all of human life of the human condition.
What is the human condition? It arises from our species’ capacity for what has been
called ‘good and evil’. Humans are capable of great kindness, empathy and love, but we
are also capable of horrific atrocities like ***, *** and torture. Our human predicament
or ‘condition’ has been that because we have never before been able to explain and
thus understand where our species’ capacity for acts of shocking inhumanity comes from
we each carry a deep, now almost subconscious, insecurity and sense of guilt about our value
and worth as humans. Are we good or are we bad? Even in our everyday behaviour, why are
we humans competitive, aggressive and selfish when clearly the ideals of life are to be
the complete opposite, namely cooperative, loving and selfless?
I know we are sometimes told that humans are wired this way–that we are competitive,
aggressive and selfish because of our animal heritage; that we have savage animal instincts
that make us fight and compete for food, shelter, territory and a mate. But that’s just the
excuse we have had to use until we found the real reason for our divisive behaviour. For
a start, it conveniently overlooks the fact that our human behaviour involves our unique
fully conscious thinking mind. Descriptions of our behaviour, such as egocentric, arrogant,
deluded, optimistic, pessimistic, artificial, hateful, mean, immoral, guilty, evil, depressed,
inspired, psychotic, alienated, all imply a consciousness-derived psychological dimension
to our behaviour. And
the truth is, we humans have always intuitively known that the real problem we have to address
and understand about ourselves is the human condition–the difficulty, however, has been
that unable to explain the dark side of ourselves we have coped by living in almost complete
denial of the issue, by blocking it out of our mind, because to think about it was too
depressing and, until now, an answerless and thus futile exercise. Indeed, I have heard
the human condition described as ‘the personal unspeakable’ and ‘the black box inside
of humans that they can’t go near’, which gives you some indication of just how traumatic
a subject it has been for us. What has occurred to completely change this
situation is that through the advances that have been made in science, specifically about
the different ways the gene and nerve based learning systems process information, it is
now possible for this fearful, historically unbearable, deepest and darkest, previously
off-limits issue of the human condition to finally be explained and understood. We can
now at last explain why we humans have not been ideally behaved; to use religious terms,
we can finally explain the origin of ‘sin’. And what is so wonderful–in fact, SO wonderful
it will transform your life and the lives of all humans–is that the explanation is
compassionate. It explains that there has been a very good reason for why we humans
have not been ideally behaved. It is an explanation that completely dignifies and redeems us.
It reconciles the opposites of good and evil in our natures and, by doing so, makes us
whole. The great psychoanalyst Carl Jung was forever saying that ‘wholeness for humans
depends on the ability to own their own shadow’ because he recognised that only by finding
understanding of the dark side of ourselves could we be made ‘whole’–and, as incredible
a claim as it is, it is that all-liberating and all-reconciling and all-redeeming and
all-healing–and thus all-transforming–biological understanding of our imperfect human condition
that is presented here. Yes, that greatest of all days in our human
journey of conscious thought and enquiry–in fact, the day we have lived in ‘hope and
faith and trust’ would one day come–when biology would finally be able to explain the
psychological origins of our species’ deeply troubled predicament or condition has now
arrived. And it is in the nick
of time, for there can be no doubt that our world is in desperate straits, and, as a result,
all manner of superficial treatments of our distressed human situation now proliferate,
but superficial treatments won’t solve the problem. Socialist, politically-correct, left-wing
dogmatic insistence on ideal behaviour–or one of those think-positive, motivational
‘New Age’ courses; or stop-your-mind-thinking meditation; or even one of the more recent
just-transcend-your-ego fads–were never going to bring real and lasting peace and
happiness to humans. Only ameliorating understanding of the human condition could, and now does,
achieve that. In fact, solving the underlying problem in
all of human life of the human condition brings about such an incredible transformation in
humans that you, and everyone else in the world, will be taken from an effectively dead
existence–and in truth, as we are going to see, all humans’ lives have been so horribly
oppressed by the agony of the human condition that they have been effectively dead–to
an existence that is utterly alive, enthralled with all of life and drenched with excitement
about what is going to occur now; actually, what is already occurring, because if you
watch or read the Affirmations you will hear from people whose lives have been transformed
by understanding of the human condition, like Neil Duns, who says, ‘The freedom this brings
is like nothing humans have ever experienced’; and Stacy Rodger, who says, ‘This is all
that we have ever, ever wanted’; and Doug Lobban, who says, ‘I am just so excited,
I can’t sleep, I am about to burst’; and Tony Gowing, who says, ‘This is like seeing
the world for the first time, it’s like waking up from a nightmare, it’s like 100
tonnes being lifted off your shoulders’; and John Biggs, who says, ‘The relief and
through-the-roof excitement that flows through your veins is incredible…It is beyond comprehension
how much wonder and fun and excitement and happiness the human race has coming.’
Yes, this is the most exciting moment in human history when humanity is finally liberated
from the agony of the human condition and transformed to an utterly magnificent, human-condition-free
existence.
