Insights for West London Living
In the creative corners of Notting Hill, the riverside calm of Chiswick, and the leafy streets of Richmond, West Londoners are no strangers to big questions about life, purpose, and why we sometimes feel at war with ourselves. A growing number of people here are discovering the World Transformation Movement – the global organisation behind Australian biologist Jeremy Griffith’s landmark explanation of the human condition. Already hailed by figures such as Sir David Attenborough, Professor Stephen Hawking (who called the work “most impressive”), and leading psychiatrists and scientists as a genuine breakthrough, it offers something rare: a dignified, scientific answer to why we are the way we are – and how we can finally be free of insecurity, anger, and division.
A Biological Answer to the Human Condition
Founded on the pioneering work of Australian biologist Jeremy Griffith, the World Transformation Movement is a global not-for-profit initiative dedicated to explaining and resolving the human condition – that age-old struggle with our own contradictory nature.
Griffith’s breakthrough centres on one simple yet profound conflict: the clash between our original instincts and our newer conscious intellect. Around two million years ago, our ancestors developed a fully conscious mind capable of reason and experimentation. This new thinking mind began to stray from the rigid, gene-based instinctive orientations that had guided our species for millions of years. The result? An inner psychological battle.
Jeremy Griffith illustrates this beautifully with his famous “Adam Stork” analogy: imagine a bird whose instincts tell it to fly south for winter, but whose new conscious mind decides to experiment and fly a different route. The instincts scream “wrong way!”, the conscious mind becomes defensive, and the bird ends up angry, alienated and egocentric. That, Griffith says, is the origin of the human condition – not original sin, not ‘savage instincts’, but a justifiable heroic struggle between instinct and intellect.
Why Anger, Ego, and Alienation Are No Longer Needed
The truly liberating part comes next. Once we finally understand that our “upset” behaviour (anger, selfishness, insecurity, alienation) was the unavoidable by-product of humanity’s heroic search for knowledge, those behaviours lose their psychological purpose.
- Anger becomes redundant – there’s no longer any subconscious guilt to attack or block out.
- Egocentricity fades – we no longer need to desperately prove our worth when we know our conscious mind’s journey was necessary and heroic.
- Alienation dissolves – the war inside our brain is over, replaced by an extraordinary sense of reconciliation and connection with ourselves and others.
The burden of historic insecurity lifts almost overnight. As former President of the Canadian Psychiatric Association, Professor Harry Prosen, puts it: “This book by Australian biologist Jeremy Griffith presents the 11th hour breakthrough biological explanation of the human condition necessary for the psychological rehabilitation and transformation of our species!”
Praise from Respected British Minds
Closer to home, some of the UK’s most distinguished thinkers have been impressed. Professor David Chivers (University of Cambridge): “The sequence of discussion in FREEDOM is so logical and sensible, providing the necessary breakthrough in the critical issue of needing to understand ourselves.” Sir David Attenborough described a documentary proposal based on the work as something that “I’ve no doubt a fascinating television series could be made based upon this.”
A New Kind of Freedom for West London
For West Londoners juggling creative careers, family life, and the search for meaning, the World Transformation Movement offers something rare: a dignified, scientific defence of the human journey that actually ends the battle within.
