The fastest growing realization everywhere is that humanity can t go on the way it is going. Indeed, the great fear is we re entering endgame where we appear to have lost the race between self-destruction and self-discovery the race to find the psychologically relieving understanding of our good and evil -afflicted human condition. WELL, ASTONISHING AS IT IS, THIS BOOK BY AUSTRALIAN BIOLOGIST JEREMY GRIFFITH PRESENTS THE 11TH HOUR BREAKTHROUGH BIOLOGICAL EXPLANATION OF THE HUMAN CONDITION NECESSARY FOR THE PSYCHOLOGICAL REHABILITATION AND TRANSFORMATION OF OUR SPECIES The culmination of 40 years of studying and writing about our species psychosis, FREEDOM delivers nothing less than the holy grail of insight we have needed to free ourselves from the human condition. It is, in short, as Professor Harry Prosen, a former president of the Canadian Psychiatric Association, asserts in his Introduction, THE BOOK THAT SAVES THE WORLD .Griffith has been able to venture right to the bottom of the dark depths of what it is to be human and return with the fully accountable, true explanation of our seemingly imperfect lives. At long last we have the redeeming and thus transforming understanding of human behaviour And with that explanation found all the other great outstanding scientific mysteries about our existence are now also able to be truthfully explained of the meaning of our existence, of the origin of our unconditionally selfless moral instincts, and of why we humans became conscious when other animals haven t. Yes, the full story of life on Earth can finally be told and all of these incredible breakthroughs and insights are presented here in this greatest of all books .REVIEWS I ve never felt the world more threatening, more fractious, more fissiparous, more febrile We need to think, we need new ideas, we need proselytisers, we need obsessed people, which I think Jeremy is. We need him to be questioned. We need FREEDOM to be argued, we need it to be read and talked about and understood. It may be right, it may be wrong. But you need someone as committed as Jeremy to trying to understand what gets us here Jeremy made me think afresh and think differently. I hope he does it with you. -- Sir Bob Geldof"Biologist Jeremy Griffin has dedicated the past 40 years to understanding the human condition and considering the question of how we will save our species from self-destruction. By unravelling the mysteries of human behavior, he explains the origin of our moral instincts and why humans became conscious while other animals have not. This may sound hard-going, but it s really interesting. I very much enjoyed it. Three and a half stars " -- The Sun Newspaper"""This book IS the book all humans need to read for our collective wellbeing."" -- Scott D. Churchill, Professor and former Chair, Psychology Department, University of Dallas The sequence of discussion in FREEDOM is so logical and sensible, providing the necessary breakthrough in the critical issue of needing to understand ourselves. Dr. David J. Chivers, primatologist and former President of the Primate Society of Great Britain This book is actually written from a position outside of the human condition. It is just amazing; Griffith walks freely though all the psychosis of our troubled human condition and with such freedom is able to explain everything about us Tim Macartney-Snape, biologist, mountaineer, and twice-honored Order of Australia recipient"" Frankly, I am blown away as the saying goes The ground-breaking significance of this work is tremendous. -- Dr. Patricia Glazebrook, Professor and Chair of Philosophy, Dalhousie University It might help bring about a paradigm shift in the self-image of humanity an outcome that in the past only the great world religions have achieved. Dr Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Professor of Psychology, Claremont Graduate University This is a most amazing project. It is strongly interdisciplinary, visionary and forwardlooking.

What if we didn't inherit savage instincts from our primate ancestors, what if we inherited loving instincts? In many ways that is the start point of Griffith’s examination of the human condition. However that raises an obvious question, ‘if our aggression isn't instinctive, where does it come from?’. The answer, according to Griffith, is from a psychosis which arose when our conscious mind emerged and tried to wrest the management of our lives from those instincts. Heady stuff, but a good journey for those with an interest in challenging ideas about the human condition.

Having heard about this book from a friend I have long trusted, I made the purchase and was initially sceptical but then very impressed with its logic.

The presence of both 'unconditionally selfless' and 'obsessively selfish' behaviour and the psychosis it produced in humans, is the human condition. A troubling subject for many adults and adolescents to analyse or think about seriously, even thought by some to be impossible. What doesn’t help is that the realm of thinking has been plagued by a plethora of self-help gurus, cults, sects and all manner of other mindless manipulators with ulterior motives.

You wonder whether science was ever going to honestly face down this subject, and if it did, what would it reveal? Would it reveal humans as amazing given the immense sensitivity, love and cleverness we possess, or were we absolute viruses on the planet for living out our widespread destructive, mean, selfish and alienated behaviour? Could it reveal a science based meaning to life or purpose to life?

A big hurdle has been that science traditionally presents that humans have unchangeable 'survival-of-the-fittest' selfish instincts that account for our divisive behaviour, which could only be managed (or controlled) by imposing order and discipline on each other. Implying that we must live in an unchangeable psychologically oppressed and insecure state of mind.

Remarkably, the selfish gene excuse has been completely blown apart by Australian Biologist Jeremy Griffith, who’s research and evaluation has accurately linked the origin of human's divisive nature to our psychological development.

The origins of our divisive nature are explained in the book through an incredibly concise Stork Analogy. The analogy demonstrates the central cause of the minds aggressive behaviour, as being a reaction against our instincts resistance to the search for knowledge, which the mind was ultimately responsible for undertaking. The situation was unavoidable, tragically necessary and the cause of an incredible degree of suffering, but importantly is no longer something unchangeable. It is revealed that the conflict between intellect and instinct resulted in a psychosis, that can be addressed with understanding.

FREEDOM, takes you on a thought journey, revealing the biological truth about the human condition. This breakthrough scientific explanation has opened the flood gates for an entirely new platform of thought, namely an understanding-based platform, as opposed to the existing oppressive platform influenced by insecurity and negativity.

In the process of explaining the human condition, the author also makes some incredible breakthroughs in a multitude of other seemingly unrelated subject matter. For example:

The book reveals the wonderful role of physics law of negative entropy – and links humans to the Integrative Meaning process – where matter trends to larger in size and more stable in time wholes. It elaborates on how the degree of wholeness achieved by a system, is determined by the degree of selflessness and cooperativeness expressed by the individual parts of a system.

The book reveals the beautiful role and real meaning of love - the tendency or desire to be unconditionally selfless, the necessary trait for parts to develop into the most stable whole.

The book gracefully reveals the origin of RESIGNATION - the great psychological event that occurs amidst human adolescence, where humans begin to wrestle with the problem of the human condition, observing the contradictory behaviour in the outside world and within themselves. A time when adolescent minds question - do we behave selflessly or do we behave selfishly? – are we wonderful beings or absolutely horrible? – questions that if unanswered, left them in dark depressing uncertainty and insecurity about their worthiness – a restless torment caused by the inability to understand the role of the intellects divisive retaliatory behaviour (anger, egocentricity and alienation).

The book reveals the scientific definition of the term 'soul' - the instinctive genetic memory of a loving, sensitive, cooperative past, and how it was acquired.

The book compassionately reveals the fundamental role that 'nurturing' had on our species development, and how nurturing and 'love-indoctrination' provided the key to unlocking the capacity of consciousness in our species, while other species haven't.

The book necessarily explains the origin and role of religion, worship and human’s infatuation with an after-life, and demystifies many biblical parables using first-principle science interpretation.

The book astonishingly explains the underlying root-causes for ADHD, Autism, Racism, Sexism and polarised Politics.

For me, this book is evidence that humans have finally learned about their past and present. These lessons of the past are now ready to be used for conscientious decisions about our future.

It truly has become an exciting time to be alive, with the opportunity to finally overcome our species psychosis, and live the incredibly transformed lifeforce way of living that this breakthrough understanding contained in FREEDOM makes possible.

The organisation World Transformation Movement has been established by the author to support and promote understanding of these biological breakthrough insights.

In my mind, the world’s role-models, though leaders, influencers and politicians need to urgently get behind the WTM and Jeremy Griffith’s work, to stop the escalation of suffering.

I really hope you enjoy and embrace the book as much as I have, and get on the front foot about spreading it out there.
