The Foundation of Human Understanding in the United Kingdom
We are a voluntary not-for-profit Christian organization without religiosity.
It is run by a small group of volunteers that have had first-hand experience of the benefits of learning to be still and not react to the external pressures of life. We have come to the realisation that it’s our resentment that is the cause of so much of our suffering in life and our pride that prevents us from wanting to see our own faults. We were locked in a personal prison of judgements and insecurities that perpetuated our state of denial of the truth about ourselves.
Virtually all of us look to the physical world to find ways to compensate for our inner spiritual emptiness and be "saved" from the sinking feeling of shame of our personal wrong doings. But that leads us to become addicted to that which frees us from our guilts. Now we have our addiction(s) to contend with, the original problem and because we have not learnt from living our life wrongly, we continue to do the wrong things thus pilling more guilt and shame upon ourselves.
