If we consider the selfless efforts of aid organisations to stem the tide of human suffering the world over we realise two things: one is that their efforts are heroic; the other is that despite suffering’s many guises, the universal factor behind poverty, malnutrition, war and strife, it is that we humans are responsible, either directly or indirectly through apathy. Dismaying as it is to admit, the sobering truth is that the real problem on this planet is us–we cause the problems, or we allow them to continue. Indeed, a moment’s thought is enough to make us aware that there is no problem on the planet that a universal change of heart could not rectify almost overnight. What this means is that unless we change who we are, attempts to deal with suffering can only, at best, ever be momentarily successful, because they are only dealing with the symptoms, not the cause….Psychological maturity has been long dreamt of, but until now has appeared so remote or quixotic that it was dispiriting to even consider. Developing and promoting an answer to this quandary has been the self-appointed task of Australian biologist Jeremy Griffith and the World Transformation Movement (WTM) for the last 30 years. The WTM is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to serving humanity through disseminating a series of critically important, biologically-based ideas that explain human nature–why we are the way we are.
