Like so many people I had been getting quite despondent at the state of human affairs around the world, and a deep sense of things getting out of control.
Despite what appears to be human progress through technological advancement, space exploration etc, still very little is known about human nature and the enigma that surrounds us and our polarised world. Why do we behave the way we do? Why is there war, conflict, racism, inequality, family breakdown and growing mental health problems, to name but a few, but also capacity for such love and compassion for each-other?
We want to be good, considerate, compassionate and loving towards others, yet we all find ourselves in conflict in one form or another and at varying levels. But why?
Purely by accident I came across Freedom The End Of The Human Condition by Jeremy Griffith and it has changed my life beyond measure. I was naturally sceptical at first but I was also looking for answers and felt that nothing ventured is nothing gained.
So I went for it and I had no idea what I was about to read, that this book was going to answer all the questions I had always wanted answers to about myself and all humans. Answers to what is our meaning and purpose in this world and the universe. So when I discovered it did just that, it blew my mind in amazement and brought such relief.
It is a collective work of science, philosophy, psychology, religion and the arts, all contributed to through thousands of years of obtaining knowledge to ultimately understand ourselves, all brought together by the holistic thinker and biologist Jeremy Griffith, and in so doing reconciles them all.
It is extremely well referenced and verifiable, so it is not a case of taking for granted one persons perspective or opinion. Plus because it applies to us humans it is very easy to put the science and logic into practice and to the test, to know that it is true, and that it works.
Now not only can I understand myself, those close to me and the world at large in a way I never thought possible and with such clarity, but it also heals and reconciles on a personal level as well as potentially on a global scale.
Once I had understanding of the human condition I could see plain as day how this can solve all the man made problems of the world. It is incredible.
The compassion in the way it is delivered helps to reassure you through the inevitably confronting elements, but by taking your time to absorb the information, and once on the other side it brings such peace to your mind and hope for humanity’s future.
