Part 2:4 The sunrise of our species’ FREEDOM, by Jeremy Griffith

Before continuing, I would like to say that there are some members here in the audience from the WORLD TRANSFORMATION MOVEMENT (WTM). I should say there are certain people I must thank for their enduring support of this all-important project for the human race of bringing understanding to the human condition, especially our founding directors: my partner of 30 years, Annie Williams; my brother Simon Griffith; Tim Macartney-Snape; Tim Watson, and Stacy Rodger. No less critically important has been the support and resolve of the other 50-strong founding members of the WTM. All that has been achieved—and as will become apparent, an immense amount has been achieved—in the last 26 years since 1983 when the FHA/WTM was established and the present, 2009 (at the time of filming), is due to the efforts of these precious few people. The fact is the opposition to our work has been so great, and our dedication to match it has had to be so great, that we have not even been able to have children. There are so many children in the world and yet there has never before been any answers to the fundamental questions facing humanity about the human condition, so obviously when those answers finally do arrive it is of the utmost priority that we defend them, especially in light of how vulnerable these understandings are to everyone’s rampant insecurities about their own human condition. Trying to address the issue of the human condition when, as I will soon explain, humanity’s historical, age-old way of coping with the issue has been to determinedly avoid it, has meant that we have been committing a very great heresy, and to do that has required extraordinary courage, tenacity, self-sacrifice and self-sufficiency. We are a very proud organisation indeed. While this project will remain in some jeopardy until substantial support builds for it, we thankfully feel that the horrifically difficult pioneer stage is over and that the extreme self-sacrifices, such as not having children, won’t be necessary for subsequent members.

The WORLD TRANSFORMATION MOVEMENT is so named because its objective is to TRANSFORM the individual, the human race and the world through bringing dignifying and ameliorating or healing understanding to the human condition. Details about the WORLD TRANSFORMATION MOVEMENT can be found on our website: <www.worldtransformation.com> or <www.humancondition.com>—possibly humancondition.com is easiest to remember.

What is to be presented is a first principle-based, rational, testable, scientific understanding of the human condition. We are going to be throwing light on that deepest of all issues and through doing so bring about the liberation and amelioration of that underlying psychosis in our species’ situation. And it is the dawning of this liberating knowledge about our species that the rising sun in the background of these images behind me (our WTM poster, which was included at the beginning of this Part, and our FREEDOM poster, which is shown at the start of Part 3:5), and the gold colour of this theatre, symbolises. The sun has historically been a symbol for knowledge—light equals knowledge—and its emergence over the horizon symbolises a dawning of a new era for humanity based on our ability to finally understand ourselves.

The following photograph of the founding members of the WORLD TRANSFORMATION MOVEMENT (which will be presented again shortly in a larger format), each with their arms stretched up in the air, is another effort to imitate the sun rising over the horizon.

I should also say that it is natural to be somewhat or even entirely sceptical that what is going to be presented will finally explain the human condition and TRANSFORM humans, but since what is to be presented is all rational, understandable knowledge, you’re on safe ground. There is no dogma, or faith, or belief, or mysticism, or superstition, or any abstract concepts involved in the explanation. This is all about knowledge that either stacks up or it doesn’t—and if it doesn’t you should reject it. What I have to explain will either make sense to you or it won’t.

While you have to discover for yourself if what is to be presented does unlock the mysteries of our human situation, the certainty that I and Tim and Professor Prosen and many, many others familiar with these understandings have that what is presented is indeed the long sought after explanation of the human condition comes from the explanation’s ability to make sense of every aspect of the human condition, indeed of every aspect of human behaviour. The great German-born physicist Albert Einstein (1879-1955) recognised humans’ ability to establish the validity or otherwise of ideas when he said, ‘truth is what stands the test of experience’ (Out of My Later Years, 1950). Indeed, the following image of a key unlocking someone’s mind is very emblematic of the power of this idea to finally make sense of ourselves and unlock our long repressed potentials. In fact, we used the symbol of a key held aloft as the logo of our movement when it was previously called the Foundation for Humanity’s Adulthood.

So, with the human condition at last solved, as we are claiming it is—and in truth the human condition has been such a dark and unapproachable subject that it couldn’t be addressed so freely as it is if it hadn’t been solved—what is going to be discussed is something that has never before been freely spoken about in all of human history. As I said, the human condition has been the great unmentionable—the ‘elephant in our living rooms’ that we have lived in such deep fear and thus denial of that we are virtually unaware of its existence. But that all changes now. With understanding of the human condition found we can now safely acknowledge the issue of the human condition—and, as will later be described at some length, manage the confronting truth of the extent of our corruption of self (that the explanation of the human condition necessarily exposes) in a most effective, TRANSFORMING way.
