#FlashBackFriday Dr Jung review of Jeremy Griffith's book FREEDOM "And here’s the kicker: this book’s your ticket to breaking free from all those pesky fears that have been holding you back." dr-elmar-jung.com/the-end-of… "Sayonara, human bondage! Suddenly, the world’s your oyster, and you’re free to chase after whatever floats your boat, whether it’s chasing dreams or just binge-watching cat videos."

𝙉𝙀𝙒 𝙍𝙀𝙇𝙀𝘼𝙎𝙀 Episode 4 of Cave Shatter by Michael Perry | 𝐁𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐉𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐲 𝐆𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐮𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐨𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 "Animals aren't tormented by guilt, by shame, by existential anxiety or depressions. Humans are." youtu.be/Zl_BwJ9o2PU?si=__IT… And Jeremy's point is that this psychological suffering proves there's something deeper happening within us than mere animal competition. He says humanity has suffered not from a non-psychological animal condition but from a psychologically troubled human condition. I think that sentence alone carries staggering implications. Because if our suffering is psychological in origin and all you have to do is take an honest look in the mirror or take a walk downtown on a Friday night to see evidence of that then it means 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐤 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲." "If Jeremy is right, then this just might be the most important breakthrough in human history. Not because it gives us more technology, not because it increases wealth or power, but because it explains humanity to itself for the very first time.

Over the eons a chaotic universe organised itself into stars, planets and galaxies humancondition.com/freedom-e… —and that here on Earth, atoms became ordered or integrated to form molecules → which in turn integrated to form compounds → virus-like organisms → single-celled organisms → multicellular organisms → then societies of multicellular organisms → and beyond that the integration of species members into ‘Specie Individuals’. So the direction or theme or purpose or meaning of existence is the ordering or integration or complexification of matter, a process that is driven by the physical law of Negative Entropy where, in an open system, in which energy can come into the system from outside it—in Earth’s case, from the sun, and, in the case of the universe, from the original ‘big bang’ explosion that created it—matter integrates; it develops order. ‘Holism’, which the dictionary defines as ‘the tendency in nature to form wholes’, and ‘teleology’, which is defined as ‘the belief that purpose and design are a part of nature’, are both terms that recognise this integrative ‘tendency’. In 1987, the physicist Paul Davies acknowledged the integrative process when he wrote that ‘We seem to be on the verge of discovering not only wholly new laws of nature, but ways of thinking about nature that depart radically from traditional science…​Way back in the primeval phase of the universe, gravity triggered a cascade of self-organizing processes—organization begets organization—that led, step by step, to the conscious individuals who now contemplate the history of the cosmos and wonder what it all means…​There exists alongside the entropy arrow another arrow of time [the Negative Entropy arrow], equally fundamental and no less subtle in nature…​I refer to the fact that the universe is progressing—through the steady growth of structure, organization and complexity—to ever more developed and elaborate states of matter and energy. This unidirectional advance we might call the optimistic arrow, as opposed to the pessimistic arrow of the second law. There has been a tendency for scientists to simply deny the existence of the optimistic arrow. One wonders why.’ Biologist Jeremy Griffith explains that the reason ‘why’ ‘scientists’ ‘deny’ ‘the optimistic arrow’ of Integrative Meaning is because it confronts humans with the issue of our divisive, selfish and competitive, ‘good and evil’-conflicted, apparently non-integrative human condition. The fact is that for a larger whole to form and hold together the parts of that whole must consider the welfare of the whole above their own welfare—put simply, selfishness is divisive or disintegrative while selflessness is integrative. So, consider-others-above-yourself, altruistic, unconditional selflessness is the underlying theme of existence; it’s the glue that holds the world together and what we really mean by the term ‘love’. BUT, again, acknowledging that the meaning of life is to be integrative, cooperative, selfless and loving left humans feeling unbearably condemned as bad, evil or unworthy for our divisive competitive, selfish and aggressive, seemingly-unloving behaviour. In fact, despite Integrative Meaning being an extremely obvious truth—because there are hierarchies of ordered matter everywhere we look, such as in trees, animals, our body, rocks, clouds, etc, etc—it has been such a terrifyingly condemning truth that we deified the process of Integrative Meaning as ‘God’, thus making it something separate and superior to us, not connected to us in an earthly, practical way. As the philosopher Nikolai Berdyaev put it, ‘He cannot [man struggles to] break through to paradise that lies beyond the painful distinction between good and evil, and the suffering connected therewith. Man’s fear of God is his fear of himself, of the yawning abyss of non-being [alienation] in his own nature. But, now that understanding of the human condition has been found and our divisive behaviour is explained, it becomes psychologically safe to demystify #God as Integrative Meaning, and, by so doing, finally reconcile #religion and #science... and much, much more —> read on humancondition.com/freedom-e…

Excellent article! Couldn't agree more with Harvard psychologist B. F. Skinner “The major problems facing the world today can be solved only if we improve our understanding of human behavior.”

Our primate ancestors developed our altruistic, cooperative and loving moral instincts through the "love-indoctrination" process; humancondition.com/freedom-e… While a mother’s maternal instinct to care for her offspring is selfish (as genetic traits normally have to be for them to reproduce and carry on into the next generation), from the infant’s perspective the maternalism has the appearance of being selfless. From the infant’s perspective, it is being treated unconditionally selflessly—the mother is giving her offspring food, warmth, shelter, support and protection for apparently nothing in return. So it follows that if the infant can remain in infancy for an extended period and be treated with a lot of seemingly altruistic love, it will be indoctrinated with that selfless love and grow up to behave accordingly—and over many generations that behaviour will become instinctive because genetic selection will inevitably follow and reinforce any development process occurring in a species; the difficulty was in getting the development of unconditional selflessness to occur in the first place, for once it was regularly occurring it would naturally become instinctive over time. And being semi-upright from living in trees, and thus having their arms free to hold a dependent infant, it was the primates who have been especially facilitated to develop this nurtured, loving, cooperative nature.

𝗦𝗨𝗣𝗘𝗥 𝗜𝗠𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗧 & 𝗦𝗨𝗣𝗘𝗥 𝗘𝗫𝗖𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚, 𝘀𝗼 𝗗𝗢 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘁: Biologist Jeremy Griffith’s NEW addition to THE Interview, “𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞, 𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐞 ‘𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐟 𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭’!” This new presentation warns of the difficulty virtually everyone initially has taking in or ‘hearing’ analysis of the once—but no longer—unbearably confronting subject of the human condition. Biologist Jeremy Griffith shows how patience and perseverance in reading or listening to the 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 of the human condition—which, as former president of the Canadian Psychiatric Ass, Professor Harry Prosen said, is ‘𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐲 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭’ of all human endeavour—enables everyone to overcome this ‘Deaf Effect’ and discover the beyond-description-exciting, human-race-fixing, safe new world for the human race! It is included as the 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 to the book, 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝!

In this chapter, Griffith elaborates massively on how his instinct v. intellect theory explains what happened to human’s increasingly manifest conscious mind as it clashed with our much older and more established instincts . After an introductory overview, he traces the stages of human development in increasing depth, linking behavioral changes with evidence from fossil discoveries, anthropology, primatology and observations from researchers working in the field. reddit.com/r/FixTheWorld/s/s…

Scottish psychiatrist R.D. Laing is one of the most quoted thinkers in Jeremy Griffith's books and essays about the human condition, and for good reason, because Laing admitted how profoundly estranged or alienated we humans have become—almost completely blocked-off from the truth of the extent of our self-corruption and from the truth of the amazing and wonderful soulful real world that we lost access to when we became conscious, the human condition emerged and we had to start living deep inside Plato’s dark cave.

In every generation, young people have wrestled with the paradox and hypocrisy of human life: • Why is everyone so fake? • Why do adults fight? • Why is everyone so unhappy and preoccupied? • Why are we going to a lavish party when people are starving? • Why do men kill each other? In essence, they’ve been asking the fundamental question: “Why isn’t the world ideal?” But parents - unable to explain the riddle of the #humancondition and resigned to a life of denial and distraction - have never been able to answer. These questions made adults so uncomfortable that young people quickly learned to stop asking. This silence from the adult world created deep confusion for teenagers trying to make sense of life. The silence was so total, so powerful, that few could stand against it. Eventually, the pressure to conform - combined with the pain and #depression that came from confronting the truth - forced them to give up the search for answers. Once resigned, the reason behind all the falseness became clear - they too became part of the lie, part of the problem faced by the next generation. 👉 humancondition.com #teenageryears #whatiswrongwithhumans #humancondition #meaningoflife

Australian biologist Jeremy Griffith has found that key to the ‘selfishness, greed, and apathy’ that Professor Gus Speth reflected is the key to our environmental problems. After decades working at the highest levels of environmental policy, Speth, a former Yale School of the Environment dean concluded that the greatest challenges were not scientific or technical, but human, writing that, “I used to think the top environmental problems were biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse, and climate change. But I was wrong. The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed, and apathy.” Read Griffith’s breakthrough solution to our human condition in latest piece from @GreenMatters greenmatters.com/environment…

#Plato gave a very clear warning of the great danger of intolerance threatening to prevent the emergence of understanding of the human condition in his allegory of the cave. He explained that "the process [of revealing the truth about the human condition] would be a painful one, to which he would much object, and when he emerged into the light his eyes would be so overwhelmed by the brightness of it that he wouldn’t be able to see a single one of the things he was now told were real" and "they would say that his [the person who tries to deliver understanding of the human condition] visit to the upper world had ruined his sight [they would treat him as if he was mad], and [they would say] that the ascent [out of the cave] was not worth even attempting. And if anyone tried to release them and lead them up, they would kill him if they could lay hands on him." So, the great danger when understanding of the human condition does finally arrive - which it now has with Jeremy Griffith's breakthrough biological treatise - is that some will be intolerant of the emerging information, and the paradigm shift that follows, and try to reinstate the historical denials that have been used to block exposure to the issue of the human condition, which as Plato have warned, is a very serious problem if we are to see a future free of the human condition for the human race.
