Hello. Welcome to the World Transformation Movement Deaf Effect Course.
As I explained in Video or ​Essay 11, humans have lived in such extreme fear of the subject
of our horrifically corrupted or ‘fallen’ human condition that when the reconciling
understanding of it finally arrives—as it now has—that historic fear makes reading
about the human condition extremely difficult. As soon as discussion of the human condition
begins, the mind of almost everyone becomes subconsciously alert to the fact they're being
taken into what has been a completely off-limits realm and consequently starts blocking out
what's being said. Your mind will find it difficult taking in or ‘hearing’ what
is being said; it will suffer from a ‘DEAF EFFECT’ to what's being presented, with
the tragic consequence being that you won’t discover the fabulously relieving understanding
that liberates and transforms you from the horror of the human condition!
Clearly then, solving this problem of the ‘deaf effect’ that reading about the human
condition initially causes, is critically important—and in Video or Essay 11 I put
forward a number of options for solving it. The most effective method by far was the fourth
option, where you're assisted through the ‘deaf effect’ by having someone repeatedly
go through the explanation of the human condition, showing how it compassionately and thus safely
makes sense of every aspect of human behaviour—be it politics, religion, the relationship between
men and women, and so on. In these talks, while it's the accountability
of the explanation that's holding the listener’s interest, most significantly what's also happening
is that their fear of the issue of the human condition is being eroded. —— Just how
effective this process of eroding the ‘deaf effect’ is, is revealed by this comment
that people almost invariably made after watching just a few of the typical presentations about
the human condition that I often gave: ‘That was a much better presentation this time than
last time Jeremy, the explanations and descriptions were so much easier to follow.’ In truth,
since the talks were virtually identical, what had dramatically improved was actually
not the quality or content of the presentation but the listener’s ability to take in or
‘hear’ what was being said. Beginning in 2019, I will be conducting interactive
introductory talks about the human condition with volunteers who are new to the information,
and over time a collection of the most helpful of these discussions will be included here
to form the WTM Deaf Effect Course. —— If you would like to participate in one of these
potentially extremely helpful interactive talks then please register your interest with
us, there's a registration link at the end of the transcript of this presentation.
Before beginning to watch the interactive video presentations, which are specifically
designed to erode the ‘deaf effect’, it is important that you follow these 4 steps
— if you haven’t already:
Once you have watched or ​read or listened
to those 4 introductory presentations to the problem of, and solution to, the ‘deaf effect’,
we then recommend you begin watching, and continue to watch, the interactive presentations
that follow this introduction until such time as you feel that you're able to effectively
read and take in discussion of the human condition— after which you can proceed to read, ​watch or
listen to any of the other presentations on our website.
And please note that these interactive presentations will be regularly added to and improved upon,
so to see the latest collection of interactive presentations, always check this Video & Essay
13 on our website. We will begin the interactive talks with the
following 8-part video of a presentation of the biological explanation of the human condition
that I gave to a focus group in Sydney in 2014. (As emphasised, more interactive talks
will follow soon.)
