Hello everyone.
This is a bio written by me so I will be honest and open. I am no different to all the other apes with over-clocked brains running around on the surface of this beautiful planet we call Earth. I have been very lucky in that I have had the opportunity to live in various cultures around the world, most notaby Brazil, Guinea (West Africa), Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the Caribbean and of course the United Kingdom.
Growing up I had a very pleasant family life, with parents who nurtured me and provided me with unconditional love. Being someone who always had to change schools (Whenever my Dad got another job in the oil industry), I found myself having to think very quickly in terms of how to make new friends, seeing as I was always “the new kid” at school. This raised fantastic opportunities to make new friends and learn a lot about myself.
Anyway, enough about my distant past. Around the age of 17 I got very interested in the nature of things and of reality, and so I did a degree at Edinburgh University in Scotland with Philosophy as my major for the four years of attendance, with other subjects such as Anthropology, Criminology, Forensic Medicine (The autopsy was intense. I had to leave the room feeling unwell) and Sociology. Still something was always missing. There was some truth which I felt none of the lecturers or tutors were able to give me.
Upon graduation, I promised myself I would never wear a suit, nor would I work in an office. Fate threw me suited up into an office for seven years, and seven years exactly. This was my tour of duty in the illusory world of hierarchical control, greed, fear and systemic hypnosis. It’s fair to say I tried to push aside my yearning for more esoteric explanations of the reality I found myself in and distracted myself with womanising and drug taking at weekends, not to mention exotic holidays and fun hobbies. I was living a half-life, and no-one was more aware of this fact than I was. There were, of course, moments of stunning humanity in my time in “the office” working as a financial adviser and all round salesman for the corporate control grid. I met people who inspired me, people who helped propel me out of the locked way of thinking that a big corporation (in my case HBOS PLC) demands of the minds in attendance. But still I remained a slave, wearing my tie as I woke up before dawn to go and sell investments to unsuspecting people.
But fate had different ideas in store for little Charlie. The economic controlled demolition of the world monetary system had me out on the street by the 1st May 2009, jobless. Suddenly I was able to do what I wanted to do, and the destiny I was too scared to enact for myself was thrust upon me, a truly humbling experience – because without losing my job would I be where I am today, megaphone and camera in hand shining a light up the asshole of evil, seeing what it is made of? Who knows…
I bought a camera because I’d had a few experiences where I was spiritually inspired by people in the real world and I thought “If I can do the same for my fellow people, then I want to share with them the best way I know…”, and the spiritual videos were born. We can call them spiritual, we can call them humanistic, we can call them political, some may even call them comedy, though they are not always funny. What I have managed to always be in my work is honest, as dictated by my own beliefs that nothing should be hidden. If I make mistakes, I know that the people will forgive me, as I have to forgive myself. But I hope I can bring my own special method of waking people up to those who need it the most – those, who like I used to be, are trapped in the corporate matrix AND think it is real; those who believe working greedily in an office whilst children die like dogs in Africa is the pinnacle of human evolution. No, none of us think the world is the pinnacle of the way things could be, but we are too scared to change ourselves and the world. The many temptations of money, respect and authority are always with us…until now. You can almost taste the electricity in the air with people waking up and simply not being a part of the consumerist-mediocrity that we hold up. We can now speak to people about conspiracy theories, about spiritual matters, about the esoteric…and we are understood.
Even my father, a conservative-hawk who watches Sky News and has old fashioned views supporting the Empire, now sees that September 11th was not as explained. I wasn’t there, and most probably you, the reader, were not there in Manhattan that day, but like the Swine Flu scare, we have no reason to trust the lies of the governments when we can see with our own eyes a building demolished and blown to pyroclastic smithereens…
I search for the truth. It exists inside me somewhere, and the more work I do for the greater spiritual awakening of all, the more the universe/the source/the absolute cares for me and gently nudges me towards my true path. Again, I feel small than when I contemplate the Absolute Consciousness, but though I feel small, I never feel alone, I never feel unloved, I never feel misunderstood. This is what I want to share with you; the power of working towards losing ego and trusting that Everything is OK…if only we could make it so.
The work that myself and my friends do is purely to inspire you to look within yourself and realise that there is nothing to be scared of. Do not follow us, do not think of us as leaders, do not emulate us, for we are imperfect fools searching as much as you are. The work we do out on the streets is to bring the message of peace and unity to the people who need to hear it most. By holding our ground against the uniformed/costumed Police officers and security that try and tell us how to act, we show a microcosm of the big issues we all face. Think of your fears in a bullet-proof, flourescent jacket, holding a pair of handcuffs. Learn how to stand up for the inviolability of your own soul. I promise you brothers and sisters that there is nothing they can do to you once you realise you are a spirit having a temporary human experience; that you hold all of the secrets of the universe inside your heart, and that you will never die. YOU WILL NEVER DIE. You will live on forever and you are infinitely loved. I cannot tell you this, but you will feel this for yourself soon. This I promise. We all used to think like this, but many of us have forgotten. The glory of remembering is for us all to take.
In the meantime, I hope you to make you smile and help you in the same way my friends have helped me.
With so much love and affection which words cannot do justice to,
Charlie

Dear Charlie,
I only came across one of your videos today – shared on a friend’s facebook and had to find out more. I LOVE what you are sharing…. its powerful, connected, heartful and borne of the light of your own experience. And yes EVERYTHING REALLY IS OK – made all the more so by your voice. Thank you for the loving vibration onto the planet – everything you have ever experienced thus far was so important in your evolution here i think…. may you continue to inspire and motivate and wake up people from their slumber… so that we may all know unequivocably how powerful and magnificent we truly are.
YOU Charlie are a beautiful shining light and an inspiration on the path.
Blessings for the work you bring and all the goodness you represent.
With love, Priya
Everyone on your end is invited to our home in Aptos, California, USA. You can telephone at any hour at 831-688-8038 for any reason. Thanks for your efforts/accomplishments. Harry Shearer from THE SIMPSONS (he plays Moe, Flanders, Mr. Burns et al.)is on his way to the UK to promote his new film THE BIG UNEASY… about Katrina, etc. I’ve asked him to get in touch with you, but he probably won’t. I submit that it would be in our collective interests if you could connect with him whilst he’s in your country. WHY? ‘Cause with a coalition from THE SIMPSONS running for Governor of California as per http://oxtogrind.org/archive/687 …we could advance the thrust of your message exponentially. HOW? To be elaborated on, upon request. You can also email me at tosca.2010@yahoo.com. Love and hugs, The Ox (Richard Martin Oxman) P.S. Been trying to send something like this via your CONTACT PAGE… which, indeed, does not seem to be working. Would appreciate readers letting me know if this is received.
Charlie I love you, you are a beautiful man and you inspire me to shine. I feel it too and it feels good. I will always remember you with a smile and my darkest fears will forever wear oversized techno jackets and bemused expressions as I hug them gently but firmly with my love
I love freedom. I love life. Thank you x
Long live the Human Being, I’m not a PERSON, I am a free spirit, free to live my life the way i choose, Not to hurt…..not to control…not to fake……just to be, and to share energy with other Human beings……long live the love police, and the truths you stand for
Hi,
A few years ago I noticed one of you guys in the middle of speakers corner in London holding up your ‘Everything is OK’ sign in the middle of people shouting about terrorists and global warming and I found it really inspiring. It inspired me to write and record a song entitled ‘Everything is OK’ based on that situation and the whole idea of what you guys stand for.
I would like to send you a copy of my song to see what you think and if you like it feel free to use it however you please in your videos or activism.
It would be great to hear from you. Keep making people think!
Paul
