Being named after Clive of India, plus the post WW2 propaganda of my autistic boyhood, pushed me into ideas about Conquering the world. The Entrepreneurial spirit of my fathers family during my teens changed that into making enough money to Buy the world. The heady music and philosophies of the 1970’s seeded within me a conviction that my path should be to Heal Our World. My travels in the Middle East and Europe brought enlightenment and inspiration aplenty. I joined so many and varied organizations that led to rhetoric rather than action. Everything that I experienced was committed to notes, one of two habits from childhood to date, the other being an avid reader. Eventually I realized that written words had always had a greater influence than speech. The potential audience was greater !! Lightbulb moment. Exactly at that point (2011) I inherited a library of rather unusual books, a blessing. I collated my notes, started to write, practiced, radically changed my lifestyle, emigrated, wondered how to publish, and found Substack. Bingo !!
Clearly this was a place that where many like minded people were actively encouraging change, yet buried in a melange of rants, info, advice, exposes, ….. I felt that there was both need and potential to build a common focus to Heal Our World. But How ?? Eight months in, Suzanne Taylor offered us all what looked liked the best shot yet. From that moment on I added her “Essay” concept to many of my own posts, I trawled daily for other writers where I could comment and introduce her concept, and constantly restacked the post of authors who I thought were best aligned. This strategy I had gleaned from those generous “How To” authors on Substack.
Suzanne was so delighted with the response, that she also offered potential project funding. This in turn led to further endowments from a multitude of sources. Over the ensuing years she published all the details along with the essays. I restacked everything, encouraging others to do likewise. I published articles on how the ripples became waves, torrents, a Tsunami that swept away the old corrupt and greedy policies that had threatened Our World. I sought new partners, grassroot comrades in peace. I promoted their tangible, effective solutions for consideration by the new Human, Humane Consciousness. The detail is HISTORY, together we Saved the World.
The Old World Rulers had murdered and enslaved we the people. First by the sword. Then they stole the concept “The Pen is Mightier than the Sword” by writing all-encompassing draconian legislation. We the multitude took back control by abstinence, by peacefully writing with the Pen of Damocles.
