The Founders Story...
I grew up in the Northwest of England with mixed-race parents, in a predominantly white village. Being called n-word names was a painful part of growing up. I’d never know what to say back, but no-one did. I travelled then went to Uni. My career began Managing creative race diversity projects in arts & culture. Working in the Slavery Museum, I encountered discrimination and was bullied out of my role. I left heartbroken, putting my beloved human rights suit away, in a dark cupboard. I retrained to work in well-being and mental health. In 2020 the George Floyd story ran on TV. Next thing, I got my laptop out, and the following words began to type out…
My name is Ray C Ism. I’m lucky, I get to inhabit whatever body I choose, which is all bodies. I don’t have a physical body of my own, so I infiltrate and use the bodies of most blood living people.
Humans do not see my form, because it is they themselves who conceive, create and carry it (my form) around for me. I am invisible but made visible when my desires are fed, and my work is done. So the actions are the thing that make me. I feed off the human soul and I did not ask for your permission. I dont ever want to be seen for who and what I really am. I do not want to be displayed, deconstructed or dethroned : i just want to be done. I want action, behaviour, thinking, all done in my name to be carried-out. I want carriers, (which is you humans) to keep working for me. They are. It is. (next page cont…
The above letter was the word-for-word transcript from the entity Ray C Ism (which our planets society calls Racism). Whether the communication was real or not, it shook me. An Almighty force then called me to put the suit back on, and go back in. But the only way good could ever win would be if others gave heroic help and were willing to be a part of the mission.
Over the next three years, I received educational codes and downloads that transformed into directions on what to do, in-the-moment. I became a living experiment. When incidents arose in everyday settings, I tried them out and they worked every time.
In 2022 I ran sessions for 3 days, with 75 willing trainee counsellors, in their final year from Runshaw College, Lancs. They alongside the Tutor, reported back, it worked!. This tried and tested formula then formed a training manual and technique, which was then named HeOvHe.
This is now a call to action for any individuals willing to be HeOvHe Doers and help bring
togetherness back to society, for good.
