Welcome to the
World Transformation Movement, South Africa

The South African WTM Centre

The World Transformation Movement (WTM) South African Centre is here to support you in your journey of understanding Australian biologist Jeremy Griffith’s breakthrough explanation of the human condition. His reconciling and redeeming ‘instinct vs. intellect’ explanation finally solves the riddle of our ‘good and evil’ conflicted human condition, and ultimately transforms the human race.

With every day bringing more alarming evidence of the turmoil of the human situation, it is unarguable that this psychologically relieving understanding of the reason for our destructive behaviour is the ONLY way we can halt the slide to total chaos and devastation. The World Transformation Movement, which is a non-profit organisation, was established in Australia in 1983 to ensure the world-saving importance of this explanation is disseminated across the planet.

The South African WTM Centre was founded in 2017 by James Moffett. James is a world-renowned organic farmer and organic milling and products innovator. He is the founder of The Organic Milling Company, and a former Managing Director of the Organic Agricultural Association of South Africa and Chairperson of Spier Group, South Africa’s premier winery and hospitality organisation. James has travelled widely in Africa teaching the benefits of organic farming, and speaks English, Afrikaans and Sesotho.

Explaining his reason for establishing the South African WTM Centre, James said, “I have been search-reading for well on 38 years for the real, truthful answers about human nature, but it wasn’t until I came upon Australian biologist Jeremy Griffith’s book FREEDOM: The End Of The Human Condition that I knew I’d finally found the biological explanation I’d been looking for. While initially this amazing book’s truthfulness can be confronting and make reading it challenging, the insights it reaches are entirely compassionate and transforming. In a world fast becoming unconscionably distressed and malfunctional, this reconciling understanding is so urgently needed I felt it imperative I do all I can to promote it.”

Transcript of James Moffett’s video on why he started the South African World Transformation Movement Centre

Well that’s the sunrise this morning over Lesotho, and my name is James Moffett. I’m on top of the mountain early this morning looking at the beauty surrounding us, it’s absolutely fantastic. And with the sun coming up behind me, usually I’m looking at it watching it come up, it’s heralding in another beautiful, fantastic day. As I said, I’m James Moffett, I grew up on this farm which I’m on top of the mountain of.

Now that’s the thing about this whole world of ours — we’re all relying on some sort of drug or pursuit, or something like that, to keep away that dark side of ourselves. And what is extraordinary is we are now at the pinnacle of our knowledge on what or who we are. This information is now here, it’s scientific, deep, logical truth. And can you believe it, that just understanding these concepts about ourselves, and particularly in my case where I’ve been searching for all my life, since I can remember, for an answer to the question ‘Why?’ Why are we like this? Why are we so full of love? Why at times I can be a phenomenal person and I can see I’m making people happy, and other times I can be a real downright bad ass. Well, it’s something that’s been troubling us a long time, but this book FREEDOM by Jeremy Griffith, who is an extraordinary biologist with such clear, clear thinking, has at last brought together all the work that us humans have been doing, the past and the present, in finding out who we are and what we are and why we are here. And my questions have all been answered. Thank, thank God!

There is an extraordinary way I’m feeling now about the world now that I understand us humans and why we all do things the way we do things, and get you to try to see what I’m seeing, and actually not even try, you’re going to do it, it’s an evolving [gathering support] concept.

Something which is interesting which I find out here is I’ve been trying to figure out the answers to the questions, and trying to find them outside of myself, and, sure, within myself, but it wasn’t about meditating or going on solitary retreats. Those are temporary reliefs. Even being re-born as a Christian was a temporary relief. Why this is extraordinary is because it answers the questions, it’s like it slots into all the missing parts in my brain and in my heart. It just connects the two and makes everything sensible. It’s not just something that I have to have faith in. It actually bloody well works and this is what’s extraordinary about it and what makes me excited all the time now, and seeing that every one of us has that potential. Every person on this planet has got this extraordinary potential to do this, to get this information, to take it in and change the way we are, it’s extraordinary, it’s bloody mind-blowing.

This is the beauty of the farm that I live on. I’m now lower down on the mountain. And I’ve been running along with it a bit to show you this absolute beauty that we have around us and now I know is reflected inside us and permanently, it’s a part of our fixture now. I just had to get rid of that blockage in my mind [our resistance to reading about the human condition], and that blockage is relatively easily overcome but it takes perseverance. You just got to keep at it. And that is the nature of us, if you consider us humans, we’re an extraordinary phenomenally magnificent species on this planet that can do extraordinary beautifully magnificent things. And what we’re doing at the moment is extraordinary, but at the same time in this pursuit of knowledge we are creating havoc in our wake. These are farm cells which farmers work as they are off dealing with the same crisis of the human condition, of wanting to control it, they can’t control their own urges so we will at least control nature, and at the same time we’re really blasting it apart around the world.

And that’s what drove me for the last 25 odd years was to try to heal this place. But for this country of ours the healing has got to happen in our heads. We’ve got to recognise who we are, got to recognise that we’ve got this diverse character, our instinctive, natural, mothering, loving side. And then we have got our intellectual, striving, hard, got-to-find answers side too. Once you reconcile those two, and you understand it, there’s no need for conflict anymore. Then extraordinary things can happen, we can all turn our minds to fixing up this planet and just having an absolute bloody ball.

Some Testimonials

Franklin Mukakanga, advertising director and radio host in Zambia, and founder of the Zambian WTM Centre has said about Jeremy Griffith’s 2016 book FREEDOM: “This reconciling understanding of the human condition will end all prejudices, like racism, forever.”

For an excellent description of why Franklin is so excited about setting up the Zambian World Transformation Movement Centre, read the piece about Sir Laurens van der Post on the South Africa’s Philosopher Giants page.
Dr Anna Fitzgerald, molecular biologist, genome projects strategist, and co-founder of the New Zealand WTM Centre: ‘This explanation of the human condition in FREEDOM brings about the true liberation of women and the reconciliation of the sexes, which is truly extraordinary.”

For an excellent description of why Anna is so excited about setting up the New Zealand World Transformation Movement Centre, read the piece about Olive Schreiner on the South Africa’s Philosopher Giants page.
Sir Laurens van der Post, the pre-eminent South African philosopher, wrote in 1961 that “I had a private hope of the utmost importance to me. The Bushman’s physical shape combined those of a child and man; I surmised that examination of his inner life might reveal a pattern which reconciled the spiritual opposites in the human being and made him whole…it might start the first movement towards a reconciliation” (The Heart of the Hunter).

Well, in 1988, in response to Jeremy Griffith’s first book about his reconciling understanding of our conflicted, ‘innocence versus egocentrically embattled’ human condition, Sir Laurens wrote to Jeremy asking “Could you please send me an extra copy of your book? Yours to me is already out on loan because it was so appreciated”. And in 1993, three years before his death, Sir Laurens further wrote to Jeremy saying “I would hope you will always know how we value the examples you set and the work you are doing in Australia.” Read more about Sir Laurens van der Post on the South Africa’s Philosopher Giants page.
Dr Ian Player, the great South African conservationist, naturalist and philosopher said in a letter to Jeremy Griffith in 2003 about Jeremy’s best-selling book A Species In Denial, “I believe you are on to getting answers to much that has puzzled and bewildered humanity for a long time”, and in 2014 about the draft of Jeremy's latest book, “FREEDOM is a book of tremendous importance.”
Professor Harry Prosen, a former President of the Canadian Psychiatric Association and the author of the Introduction to FREEDOM, has said, “I have no doubt this biological explanation is the holy grail of insight we have sought for the psychological rehabilitation of the human race.”
