**** NEWS FLASH ****

 

Our new FAQ facility provides
concise answers to all your questions

 

To make it as easy as possible to access this fabulous new world where all aspects of human existence can be understood, we have created a comprehensive Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page on the WTM website.

 

 

 

Located in the menu bar on the World Transformation Movement website, the WTM FAQs are divided into the following subjects — which you can click on to find the answer to your question:

 

1. About the Human Condition and its Resolution

 

2. About biologist Jeremy Griffith

 

3. About the World Transformation Movement

 

4. About the Transformed State

 

5. The Great Scientific Questions

 

6. About Religion and the New Age Movement

 

7. About Politics

 

8. About Men & Women

 

9. About Racism

 

So this new FAQ facility means you can now access 3 levels of explanation of all aspects of the human condition:

 

— the short version in the FAQs

 

— the medium version in the WTM Emails

 

— and the full version in Jeremy Griffith’s definitive presentation, FREEDOM: The End Of The Human Condition

As a sample, we have included below answers to two of the most fundamental FAQs: ‘What is the human condition?’, and ‘What is biologist Jeremy Griffith’s ‘instinct vs intellect’ explanation of the human condition?’

 

 

WTM FAQ 1.1  What is the human condition?

 

While it’s undeniable that humans are capable of great love, we also have an unspeakable history of brutality, rape, torture, murder and war. Despite all our marvellous accomplishments, we humans have been the most ferocious and destructive force that has ever lived on Earth — and the eternal question has been ‘why?’ Even in our everyday behaviour, why have we humans been so competitive, selfish and aggressive when clearly the ideals of life are to be the complete opposite, namely cooperative, selfless and loving? In fact, why are we so ruthlessly competitive, selfish and brutal that human life has become all but unbearable and we have nearly destroyed our own planet?!

 

The agony of being unable to truthfully answer this fundamental question of why we are the way we are — divisively instead of cooperatively behaved — has been the particular burden of human life. It has been our species’ particular affliction or condition — our ‘human condition’.

 

 

WTM FAQ 1.3  What is biologist Jeremy Griffith’s ‘instinct vs intellect’ explanation of the human condition?

 

Finding understanding of the human condition — our species’ capacity for ‘good and evil’ — is of incalculable importance; in fact, it has been described as the holy grail of the whole human journey of conscious thought and enquiry. And it is this longed-for breakthrough explanation of the human condition that biologist Jeremy Griffith has found.

 

Key to Jeremy’s explanation of the human condition is an understanding of the difference between our instincts and intellect, and the effect that difference has had on our behaviour. He explains that when we humans developed a conscious mind some two million years ago, a battle unavoidably developed between it and our already established instincts. Natural selection of genes gives species’ instinctive orientations, such as to a migratory flight path for birds, but a nerve-based conscious mind needs understanding to operate, so when a fully conscious mind emerges and begins experimenting in understanding it unavoidably comes into conflict with the already established instinctive orientations that are in effect intolerant of these deviating experiments in self-management.

 

The result of this conflict between our instinct and intellect was an undeserved sense of guilt and insecurity that caused us to become psychologically defensive, angry, alienated and egocentric, the upset state we refer to as the human condition — a state we sought to alleviate through a competitive, selfish and aggressive bid for the reinforcement we could gain from winning power, fame, fortune and glory. But now that we can explain and understand this conflict and the guilt it produced, all those insecure, defensive behaviours are obsoleted, brought to an end, and we free ourselves from the human condition.

 

In short, this explanation represents the fulfilment of the human race’s great hope, faith and trust that one day this psychologically redeeming and transforming understanding of our ‘good and evil’-stricken human condition would be found.
