All the problems we are experiencing on the planet, apart from natural calamities, are caused by us humans or put another way, they are caused by the human condition. So, what is the human condition?
A profound way to introduce you to the human condition as well as its solution to the up-river story.
IMAGINE A FAST FLOWING RIVER:
Imagine a fast flowing river, with 1000's of people drowning in it and on the banks, there are people desperately trying to save them. The form human chains, linking their arms together while looking for a narrower section in the river where they can be more effective but as hard as they try to save the drowning people, more and more are being swept further and further away downstream.
RESCUERS START LEAVING THE RIVERBANK:
As some rescuers start leaving, the others start to shout:"come back! we can't do it alone, please help us." …show more content…
But those leaving, reply:"This is totally stupid, we're going upstream to find the bastard who is pushing all these people in."
The people being swept away downstream symbolize all the problems that face the world, the refugee crises, the wars, polarized politics, famine, depression, greed, environmental destruction, You name it.
GOVERNMENTS AND CHARITIES ARE THE RESCUERS:
Governments are passing better laws to try and cope and charities like Salvation Army, Red Cross, and religious movements helping the homeless.
But the point of my story is that pulling of people out of the raging river is only dealing with the symptoms of the story, someone has to go upstream to address the problem at its origin or source, which is US!, we are the problem, we are self-obsessed, greedy, selfish, materialistic, angry as hell and FAKE, this is us!
DESTRUCTIVELY BEHAVED HUMAN CONDITION:
It is this destructively behaved human condition that needs to be fixed sometime, somewhere and by someone who had to go upstream to the source and address and solve the human condition. Now, someone has, in his book, Freedom, The End Of The Human Condition, biologist, Jeremy Griffith presents the breakthrough biological explanation of the human condition and an explanation of our destructive and inharmonious lives, is so redeeming and healing, it ends the human condition forever, which is why it is being described as the book that saved the world.
WE ARE THE
DEVILS:
You see, after all, that I have said above, that we destroy everything we touch and that we are no better than a toxic virus on this planet, but this book that despite the above, we, and we alone, have the capacity to be only good and are also the heroes of the whole story of all of life on earth. The fabulous significance of this understanding, that lifts the burden of guilt from humans is that it finally brings to an end, the underlying insecurity of our self-worth.
INSECURITY IS THE CAUSE OF OUR EGOTISTIC BEHAVIOUR:
It has been that very insecurity, which has been causing that frustrating, retaliatory, defensive, egotistical, competitive, selfish and greedy behavior it finally ends all of this and transforms the entire human race.
This is why the book has been described as the holy grail of the whole human journey of conscious thought and inquiry. This is the great breakthrough the human race, who have lived in hope and faith, would one day be found.
This book, Freedom, goes all the way up the river and solves the human condition.
