The World Transformation Movement

Harry’s involvement with Australia’s World Transformation Movement (WTM) began in 2004 when the WTM began an undertaking to make a documentary about the human condition. The detailed proposal that Australian biologist Jeremy Griffith wrote for the documentary received commendations from over 100 of the world’s leading scientists and thinkers. Professor Prosen was one of those scientists who responded enthusiastically to the documentary proposal, and he has since become one of the WTM’s greatest advocates. The following is a summary of Harry's invaluable contribution to this critically important project.

On receiving The Human Condition Documentary Proposal, Harry responded with the following commendation (2004):

“This is an incredibly important set of thoughts. I am aware of no other paradigm having ever been developed that answers somewhere in its great depths all the great questions like this one does. The Proposal is never out of my brief case. I read it over and over and it is I think one of the most astonishing and outstanding things of our time. It is a gift and I hope you don’t give an inch to your detractors.”

In 2007, Harry served as a scientific expert in the defence of the scientific and scholarly standard of biologist Jeremy Griffith’s work on the human condition:

In March 2007, a trial began in the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Australia) to determine defences and damages following a jury’s 2003 finding that the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) had defamed Jeremy Griffith and Tim Macartney-Snape in a 1995 Four Corners television program. During the trial Professor Prosen took the stand, alongside three other international scientific experts, in defence of the scientific and scholarly standard of Jeremy Griffith’s work.

Ultimately, the ABC’s publication and a similar Sydney Morning Herald newspaper publication were completely discredited, resulting in a payout of $700,000 plus costs and a public apology.

From Harry’s report tendered at the trial:

‘Mr. Griffith’s work is important and significant to my field of psychiatry. I also consider that it is of significance to all of science. In my view, it explains the nature of “The Human Condition”.

The first two books I read, “Free” and “Beyond”, are amazing platforms which describe the basic findings made and explanations put forward, by Mr Griffith. Mr Griffith’s subsequent writings do not change in basic concept but we see increasing elaboration, background and opportunity scientifically to understand the Human Condition and ameliorate it.

These writings in many ways further basic evolutionary concepts and thus are seen by some as controversial, but the majority of scientists, anthropologists and sociologists whom I know to have considered these works have become very excited and perhaps had their own thinking take a leap forward as they have read and re-read Mr Griffith’s work. Even the nay-sayers, in my view, have not been able to put forward evidence which refutes Mr Griffith’s ideas in a scientific way. The persons who have taken negative views of Mr. Griffith’s notions are not to be belittled, but in no criticism that I have seen is there a truly scientific rebuttal. In my opinion, the scientific validity of Mr Griffith’s work is supported in every way possible, from archaeology, primatology, genetics and evolutionary facts.

All of the above has convinced me of the scientific accuracy and significance of this work. My own applications of it are as a psychotherapist of some 40 years standing, in clinical work and writing and also as I see the early stages of consciousness in my work with primates.’ [Professor Prosen concluded] ‘In my opinion, Mr Griffith’s work, including Beyond, is of the highest scientific merit.’
