Transcript of Raf Van Den Plas’s WTM Antwerp Centre launch

Hi, I’m Raf Van Den Plas and I’m very excited to announce that I’m opening a WTM Centre in Antwerp in Belgium.

I studied engineering, but without much passion — it was just something I had to do, so when I went looking for a job it was always something involving people, engaging people, getting people enthusiastic. I eventually got into sales, with an IT company, where I am the manager but also do the sales.

When I read the book FREEDOM: The End Of The Human Condition it was something that touched me very hard. The things that I thought of being important when I was a youngster, I had left them behind through the years, so by reading the book I realised those values that I had then were very much true; they were not something that had to be forgotten.

I rediscovered those things that I apparently had left behind, and can now express in a scientifically proven way that they were a good thing. That’s what hit me most in FREEDOM — that the power that started everything off is love. If you talk about love in scientific surroundings, they think it’s something weak, that it’s something for the not-so-serious people, but now [through Jeremy’s work] we’ve found out that love is the key engine to starting the whole system in which mankind began. That’s such a wonderful discovery, that love is the strong power behind it all — and this makes me very excited about what I read in the rest of FREEDOM as well. [Love, and the integrative meaning of existence and its personification as ‘God’, is explained in Freedom Essay 23.]

It’s just it’s not just a book, it’s THE book. If there’s only one book in the world it should be this book, because if you have this book and you’ve read it and you’ve started to understand what’s in this book, it’s so fundamental in describing how we as mankind can be and are meant to be, in a loving way, in good way and that we’re [all humans are] okay. It’s like a new kind of Bible, but a Bible with scientific roots, notes and references that are right. If you try to find some things that aren’t [right] in the book, I’m sure you won’t find anything that isn’t correct. Everything is based on scientific research and that’s what’s so great about it. I have people in my neighbourhood who have challenged the book and they try to find things that are not right, but they can’t find anything that’s not right!

On the other hand, it’s not so easy to accept the message that the book tells. It takes some time to get [the explanation] through to you, because we have a kind of ‘deaf effect’, a [psychological] resistance to accepting it [analysis of the human condition]. [This ‘deaf effect’ is explained in Video/​Freedom Essay 1: Your block to the most wonderful of gifts.] And by reading the book several times, and by watching the videos and by allowing the information to come through you [i.e. patiently digesting the information], slowly the resistance is resolved and your understanding goes deeper and deeper.

It gave me such a joy to realise that I am not bad, I’m good. Once you’ve read this information and you’ve got it in you, you can’t shut up about it. You have to tell it to everyone you meet because it’s so fundamental. And if you want to share with other people, this [understanding] is the thing to share with other people.

The information that FREEDOM brings is quite simple, and on the other hand, very hard to accept. It’s really strange, but you’ll find out if you start reading the book, that the actual insight isn’t that complex, it’s very simple. That is proof for me that it’s probably true because it’s so simple and simple things can’t be denied because they are so simple! Now I’m reading FREEDOM in Dutch because it was only in English in the beginning [when starting to read this information]. Reading it in Dutch is having an even greater impact on who I am and what I want to do, and I’m even more convinced that I have to do something with this. It’s my task, but I’m happy to have this task. I’m honoured to be able to share this with the world and I’m so glad that Jeremy found the courage to go on, making the effort to spread this information. This has to have a worldwide spread. And I’m convinced that by spreading this information the world will change fundamentally. [Learn about all the global WTM Centres in Freedom Essay 16: WTM Centres opening everywhere.]

There is no duality anymore. There is no good or bad, there is no me and you. All is one, which is so, so great. And if you read the book you’ll see Jeremy quoting parts of the Bible and quoting parts of other ancient books, bringing everything together in this one book. It is all explained in this one book. It is so amazing, really amazing, that one man found out all about those things. I think if you want to write this material, you should have a team of 20 or 30 people all specialised in different categories — but Jeremy had it all in him, some way or another, and he linked these different parts together and made a very, very plausible solution for the human condition. And I’m very, very happy that I found this, by coincidence—I don’t believe in coincidence! — and that I found a way to share it with the world. And that’s what I’m doing now.

FREEDOM will be the reference that the whole world will be looking at, but it may take some time — and we don’t have that much time. I think it’s important to realise that it’s urgent to start sharing and giving this information to others. It’s your responsibility to share this if you know about this understanding. Also, you’ll want to share it — you don’t want to keep it for yourself. So I hope this Centre in Belgium will invite many Flemish and Belgian people to connect with us and ask the questions and start discussions and start talking about the information, because it’s through talking and through that connection that the ‘deaf effect’ goes away, and you get to access the real love message of this insight.

The book is called FREEDOM but a better name would be The Truth. I think this book is the truth, the truth for all mankind. Freedom is exactly what it describes. It gives you the freedom to be a good man. Man is good; he’s good, he’s not evil. But it’s more than that. It’s more than freedom. It’s just the truth about everything — it’s there in the description [on the book].

So having this all said, I am convinced that I have to open a WTM Centre in Belgium to spread these words in our region and to be able to ‘infect’ other people with this good virus! It gives you the joy you are meant to have. And I hope my speech here invites you to connect with us. You can start by watching the videos, which help you get big picture of what this explanation presents. You can download the book for free [at HumanCondition.com].

Please do not hesitate to contact me — I will be glad to help you and get this information to you. I’m open to all communication, so I hope to see you very soon. Thank you very much.
